Show Millard County Chronicle You are tired, irritated, feeling on edge, and cross at everything In general. What will relieve perit-up feelings and soothe your nerves? Why of course, why didn't you think of it before; for just the right tonic, turn on your TV and listen to the sweet music of some famous symphony. As you turn the knob on what is supposed to be a music box, the sweet gentle blat of a news commentator com-mentator meets your ears; and the sublime calm comes over you as you sit yourself down to watch this nerve soothing tonic. The first thing you see is Khrushchev arriving arriv-ing from Russia, his bald head shining as though it had been rubbed with furniture polish, and a smile which would warm any red-blooded American's heart. You are even more irritated now, because no sweet symphony music was on that station; so you switch channels, and what to your wondering wond-ering eyes should appear but KHRUSHCHEV! Such a good looking look-ing old gentleman; so firm, so round, so fully packed; just what you've always dreamed of watching watch-ing ever since you purchased your TV set. Now he is shaking hands with a-nother a-nother slick looking gentleman, cur United States President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. What is that Khrushchev is pulling out of his pocket? It couldn't be! No! It just couldn't be; but it is. That sweet, kind hearted little old man is presenting pre-senting Ike with a replica of the pennant the Russians say they planted on the moon with their rocket. Can you think of a nicer gift? Why I'm sure that that's what he would have asked for if given the chance. Krushchev is such a responsible, hard working man, that now he's telling Ike that he'd be willing to relieve him of his hard work of running the nation, for he'd like to run it for us. In fact he's so ambitious, it's his goal to take over ond run the whole world. With that the news commentator signs off, thanking the watching audience for being so interested and polite. Next the picture of the man Who leads your favorite symphony is flashed across the screen, and a voice says, "Keep your places and watch your favorite George Zabris- ew Veterans' Law (EDITOR'S NOTE: From the thousands of questions asked about the new pension law slated to go into effect July 1, 19G0, the Veterans Veter-ans Administration has selected the most pertinent, together with the appropriate answers.

How interesting, You'll have to run right down and buy some, as soon as you watch Zabriskie's show. What? Where is Zabriskie? All you can see is some letters that say KUTV and a voice in the background back-ground saying, "We will now pause for station identification." At last George's orchestra strikes up with "Prelude in A Minor", and you feel very relaxed both, mentally mental-ly and physically. Just as the tones of the symphony are getting louder loud-er and closer together, they are cut short. A big can of Campeil's Roast Beef Stew is sitting there on the TV screen. The lid pops off and out jumps another of those little round-faced creatures singing, sing-ing, "It's right for you, this good beef stew; get some today, credit or pay." Then a group of these little bald headed figures pop into the picture and dance around the can and sing some little ditty a-bout a-bout Campell Soup products nourishing nour-ishing and strengthening your body. Now back to Zabriskie and his symphony of which you've missed a good five minutes of the best part. You get to listen to the drum bang the finishing note and George goes off the air. You switch the knob on the TV to off, and take your weary, but soothed body to bed where for the rest of the night round faced little figures will dance through your head. Anyway, you did get to see Zabriskie whether you got to hear the symphony or not. Roberta Lovell changed under the new law? A. Not basically. Ninety days active ac-tive wartime service and an honorable hon-orable type discharge are required. The veteran must also be permanently perma-nently and totally disabled. There Ore important changes in the income in-come limits under the new system as well as some changes in the methods employed to compute the pensioner's annual income. Under the new law the veteran's estate or "worth" will become an eligibility eligi-bility factor. Q. What factors determine "permanent "per-manent and total disability"? A. The degree of disability may vary according to the age of the veteran. Generally, he must have a disability which at his age pa-events him from getting regular, full-time employment. This disability disabi-lity must be such that doctors do not expect it to improve materially. Q. What are the changes in a veteran's income limits? A. Under the old law, a veteran without dependents could not draw a pension if his annual income exceeded ex-ceeded SHOO. Under the new law, he may receive some pension if his income Is as high as S1800. Under Und-er the old law, a veteran with dependents de-pendents was ineligible if his annual an-nual income was over 52700. Under the new law, his annual income may be as much as S3000, and he may still be eligible for some pension. pen-sion.

STABILIZATION By Kenneth Lovell Delta made it a sweeping week in sports as they won their tilts in wrestling and basketball by decisive de-cisive and wide scores. First off, Wednesday, Jan. 13, Delta's mat-men mat-men literally pinned Cedar City by the wide margin of 51 to 11. Coach Horlacher seems to have a good, devoted group of young wrestlers who really know their stuff. This year's score was by far better than last years in which Delta barely downed Cedar 35-31. The main difference, dif-ference, however, is that Cedar City lost a lot of good men last year and they aren't as strong this season. sea-son. But, we can still look forward to a good wrestling season at DIIS. Here is a summary of Wednesday night's action: Wrestler Wt. Won, Lost Mike Talbot 95 W-dec. Danny Willoughby 103 W-pin John Lyman 112 W-dec. Darrell Ross 112 L-dec. Neal Finlinson 120 L-dec. Joe Lyman 120 W-dec. Neuman Callister 127 W-dec. Robby Steele 127 W-pin Doug Taylor 127 L-pin Emmctt Lefthand 133 W-pin Wydell Jeffery 145 W-pin Jerry Hawley 145 W-dec. Steve Nielson 145 W-dec. Leo Lyman 154 W-pin Dwight Alldredge 165 W-pin Dick Talbot Unlim. W-dec. An interesting sidelight on the match Dick Talbot won was that he beat a wrestler named Rider, who is a freshman in college. Last year Dick fought Rider twice and was beaten both times once by a pin, and once on a decision. So, for Dick, last Wednesday's win was sweet revenge. There was a fairly large crowd out to see the matches and they couldn't have asked for much more than they got in excitement and the bold determination of the wrestlers. Wrestling to Come Delta at Millard Jan. 20, 7:30 Payson at Delta Jan. 25, 7:30 It seems that high school basketball basket-ball is becoming more and more nf a inn rlrawinf eard. Mavbe it's ' "l' " o j because of the fast-moving action, the individual performances, or the tense excitement that one can experience ex-perience and relish. For a lot of people, a basketball game gives them a chance to release their energies en-ergies and excitement in verbal blasts, or to become a part of the cheering partisan crowd. But, to my way of thinking, basketball is a game that just bursts at the seams with tense excitement (usually). (us-ually). Almost no team has a game in the bag, and a second or two could completely change the aspect as-pect of a game. Also, one can experience ex-perience pride and "pure bliss" as he watches his favorite team or player reach great heights and attain at-tain that monumental glory. Though it may be for only a moment mo-ment or two, there seems to be nothing that can draw a school closer together, or display that school spirit more prominently than a hard fought, tense and exciting basketball game. What I have been leading up to, if you want to call it that, is a result re-sult of Delta's victory over Millard last Friday night, 56 to 41. The spirit spi-rit aad team support at Fillmore was just tremendous. In fact, from where I sat, it seemed as if we could have beaten anybody that night. It just goes to show that the support of the townspeople, students, and teachers is an important im-portant part in any victory. The players played a hustling and determined game. The pent-up fears and worries were lost as the fast and furious play got under way. To be sure, it was a battle all the way, but really we couldn't could-n't possibly have lost. It was a night when there could have been only one ending to the story and that ending will always be ready for other nights just Lke it. Scoring: Ken Christensen 21 Roger Davis 12 LaDell Hegman 8 LeRay Jackson 6 Sterling Church 6 Jim McCormick 3 Russell Greathouse 0 BASKETBALL NOTES Ken Christensen was the steady performer of the game. His 21 points po-ints was the high of the game and h"i3 aggressive and hustling play were really symbolic of the team play. LeRay Jackson was a steady worker on the boards and played a very good defensive game. LaDell Hegman really came on in the second half, as he scored 8 points and aided LeRay on the boardwork. I thir.k a lot of the spark that was the Rabbits, Friday night, can be attributed to Roger Davis. In addition to scoring twelve points, J he always s?cr.e-i to b ia there Schools akes Wrestling, fighting. He could wrestle the ball from larger opponents; dump in baskets from way outside; and-in other words, he and Ken are one of the finest back-court combinations combina-tions in the state. Sterling Church and Jim McCormick McCor-mick were steady performers for the time that they played in the game. , Russell Greathouse injured his back last week in practice and his piay has been hampered by it. His flred-up jump shots are really a sight-to-see, and we hope he gets well soon.

Motto: Patience, Effort, Persistence Three boys started out the year in Chemistry and each of them came up against problems that seemed impossible for him to solve. Let us call the boys Joe, Sam, and Luke. One day Joe went to Mr. Jacob-son Jacob-son and said: "Mr. Jacobson, I can't seem to understand these theories and chemical equations. I just know that I'll never catch on." Mr. Jacobson discussed at some length his problem with him without with-out coming to a definite answer. Joe was disappointed and became discouraged and was ready to give up. To Joe, Mr. Jacobson said: "Be patient; try to analyze your problem. prob-lem. Don't expect miracles to happen hap-pen overnight." When Sam went to Mr. Jacobson with his problem, he expected the solution to be handed to him without with-out the necessary effort of thought and careful consideration on his part. But Mr. Jacobson said: "I can not tell you what to do, Sam; but I can help. You must make your own decisions. It is through this process that you will gain wisdom." Luke had tried to solve his problem, prob-lem, but because it took too much time to think of a solution he had given up. "Our problems are many in life, Luke," said Mr. Jacobson, "but it is through solving problems and meeting adversity that we gain wisdom. You must be persistent. Use the saying If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again!" So, students of D.H.S., in order for us to succeed this year, keep in mind the three things brought out in this short story: patience, effort, and persistence. Remember them and use them in everything: that you do, your school, your club work, and your sports. If you will do this you will have a winning year for all! Let's all of us make this our motto: "With patience, effort and persistence, I can do anything!" 7,500 Bead It In The CHRONICLE j Subjects covered will include: adherance to hi;h standards-of conduct, responsibilities of young men and women to each other in social dating, guarding against the evils of "petting" and "necking," "neck-ing," the problem of "join? steady," and guideposts to and preparation for the right kind of marriage.
