In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my official seal at Delta, this 16th day of January, 1959. c4tie and . . . By INEZ RIDING- Glen Canyon Bridge To Be Opened February 20th ird County Chronicle Thursday, Ian. 29, 1959 If we still lived in Craig, Colorado Col-orado these nice, sunshiny days, I'm just sure that the house-cleaning parties would be underway! About four or five of us would drag our children, our vacumms, our mops, our windox, our paint brushes and our EIBOW GREASE to each others houses and help each other do housecleaning! - It was a lot of fun and its amazing amaz-ing what a small group of determined deter-mined women can do to a dirty house in a day! Every window would be sparkling, every carpet scrubbed, every child fed,, every wall swept down, and every woman wo-man "bone tard"! - What usually happened, I'd sit back in the biggest overstuffed chair in the house with this big, old black bullwhip and be the strawboss. - Any slaves around and about Delta? - My house could use just such an invasion, believe me. In other words, gals, don't come around unless you have all the necessary nec-essary equipment for a good ol' housecleaning! And "hello" to the Frank Lekans. Kris, our four-year-old was determined det-ermined to do something she shouldn't the other night, I was just as determined that she wouldn't would-n't do it. Finally she turned to me and said "Mama, do you know sumpin, I know a little girl, littler than me and she is her own boss." Our pet shop has grown by five gold fish and they are kinda relaxing re-laxing to watch. Saturday morning, Lynette was cleaning the fishbowl and in doing so she put the fish in a hot water We all thought that they had done had it, but cool water applied at the proper time can revive many things. The fun this younger sister and I used to have. Nothing was better bet-ter than making molasses taffy on a Saturday night. We'd pull the taffy until it was a beautiful golden color, then we'd make cute little things like braided rugs, or animals with it. Wanda, did we ever eat it? We thought we were the greatest great-est little cooks. Many times, when Mama Pyland would be a safe distance from us, we'd experiment in the kitchen. Using our original recipes, I'll have you know. - I would imagine that we had buried more original than we ever bore to the table in pride. There is something about a Cub Scout Den that gets me. I like fhe whole idea. Almost ail of the boys that were in my Di n in Craig are now Den Chiefs, so I see in the Craig paper. -V- Thanks, Mrs. Del.app for b: ing-ing ing-ing them to see us. We thought by now we'd real ly De having tlie mumps at our place probably be around Easter!! Did you ever notice how nice the young teenage girls look with the knee socks? If mv life were to be lived over, I'd wear them, too. Nothing looks more out of propor tion than naked les, gloves, scarves scarv-es and a heavy coat. I think! I be lieve girls have more sense than we used to have. Seems we went from one extreme to the other. For so long we wore the nice long brown ones and from them we went straL'Ht to anklets. (SEAL) DOROTHY H. THEOBALD, Delta City Recorder BICYCLES REPAIRED and PAINTED LIKE HEW SCHWINN BICYCLE FRANCHISED DEALER (Wonder if Mama Pyland would like to know that Myrna and Kris are wearing the nice, long, biw. n socks?) Mentally, I call them cocoons! And like a Mama butterfly, I'm waiting for the day when our girls emerge from their cocoons to real beauty!; And with that statement, I'm a mother to the COKE!! Ken Clements brought in an interesting in-teresting piece of paper to the Chronicle. It is a statement printed in 1900 at the Star Printing and Label Co., Denver, Colo. I can remerber looking at the mirror when Papa Pyland had just told me that I was His prettiest girl and asking Mama Pyland "How can he say I'm pretty?" And she answered, "Each Crow thinks his baby Crow is the blackest." Funny thing about our Papa, when we all got older and got to comparing notes we discovered that he had told each of his eight girls "Yau are the prettiest girl I've got!" Quite a guy, that Papa of ours. What we always wondered is was "what did he tell the five boys to make them feel special. We're catchin up on a Jot of West Millard history with these articles ar-ticles on tne .various businesses. Only hope you find them as enjoyable. enjoy-able. When Clair Gardner sent his in and it looked quite long, he told me "Well, Inez, if it's too long, I can make it longer." I like that guy!!!! He's as comfortable as an old shoe. At our house, we have come to the conclusion that there just aren't enough Adult (or otherwise) Westerns on T. V. For a few minutes min-utes every day, one is able to get another type of program.
