Show By INEZ RIDING A memory of my school-teaching days has been with me for several days now. I was a very-new, scared, ignorant teacher (if I may be so bold as to call myself a teacher) when our family doctor stopped me on my way home from the little red school house one day. A whole family in our town had an unmentionable disease and two of the children were in my room at school. This disease was definitely in the advanced stages and our doctor told me that if he were I, he would not have allowed the children back into the room until a clean bill of health was presented present-ed to the family. In the meantime, the Board of Education had taken measures to prevent the children from coming to school, but the father (and he was a big man) was very insistent that they come on any way. Well, to make a long story shorter, he stopped me- on the way to school one day and made a big scene. I was scared, believe me, but tried not to show it. For some reason, he was blaming blam-ing me for the whole situation! I remember well his saying "Well, my kids are going to school and no Pyland is going to stop them." It threw all concerned. He had never cared before. I went on to school, colled the roll and managed to get a substitute substi-tute teacher long enough for me to run home, talk to Papa and Mama Ma-ma Pyland, and get back to school Papa Pyland came to town, talked to the sheriff, who in turn talked to the father.. Papa came on down to the school house and told me not to worry, then he sat on the schoolhouse porch and whittled and spit tobacco juice the rest of the DrM Milk qs a SnacL- and fee! refreshed.

When we left for school the next morning, Mama Pyland said "Ab, it's too early for the mail, where are you going?" "Well, I'm going back to school today, that's the coolest place in town." Never did he say that he was there to protect pro-tect me, in case the father decided to live up to his reputation of being a bully and a rough and tumble man. It made staying in the school room , more easy with that Papa of mine sitting on the porch, believe be-lieve me! A more pleasant memory of Papa Pa-pa Pyland has to do with his tak ing us several miles in a wagon to Lake City (by several, I mean at least, 12) for an Easter Egg Hunt on the Court House lawn. I don't remember too well, except I did not find any eggs only the one that Papa spied up in the fork of a tree and he lifted me up to get that egg. I think he said before be-fore I could say "Look, Inez found an egg." Papa seemed to think that all those things were necessary to growing up. He used to take all of us to "Big Meetings" revivals, to you in a wagon. I don't remember, remem-ber, very many times seeing Papa Pyland inside the Church building, but he would be there. More than likely, he would be squatting by a tree whittling. Papa must have whittled many miles of shavings. ! He was never without a knife and a small piece of wood. I never did 1 see Papa Pyland brush his teeth with anything other than a small f ASSN. OF UTAH '!Wi twig from the handiest tree. He would take out his pocket knife, cut one to suitable length, peel (hte bark back about half an inch, chew the exposed part very carefully care-fully then) go all over his teeth! And when he died, he had a very good looking set of teeth, all his own! Papa did not encourage teasing from his children. He had too stern a bearing, so when some of us little "imps" (and we were at least that) got brave enough to try a trick on him, and got away with it, we were in Seventh Heaven. I remember one time, my younger sister, Wanda, and I tried several pieces of string together and pinned them on Papa's overcoat as he was going out to the car to go to Jones-boro. Jones-boro. Ark., on a business trip. He got almost to the car and Wanda and I were practically rolling on the floor, when Mama Pyland spied long strings pinned to his overcoat. She callled out to him "Ab, wait, there is something on your coat" He kinda chuckled and took them off. End of laughter, end of that Joke.

He thought that Dluckine the brows was not for his girls. One day he' came up on one of my many sisters plucking her brows and he became ' very sarcastic. He told her "Well, now that's very pretty. In fact, you look just like a bald-faced mule. Well, my poor sister was just crushed, you can well believe. Nothing disgusted Papa more than a person plowing a crooked row. He hated that with a passion. He had no use for tractors, either. With a tractor, a man just couldn't plow as straight a row as with a team of mules. In our early teens, Papa used to rock us on his knee and whisper to us "Don't tell your sisters, but you're the prettiest girl I've got," We didn't tell until after he died, then we discovered that everyone of us had been told the same thing. He wasn't lying, either. Being told that can make a girl the prettiest at that particular time. Papa's table manners were atrocious. atro-cious. He slurped, he smacked, he used his knife more than his fork and chewed with his mouth opened. About the only thing that he would refuse to eat was peanut butter! One of his favorite foods was boiled pigtails. All of us long-legged kids would watch him in fascination as he would tackled one of the greasy, slippery pigtailsl This sounds as If my whole life was one picnic. It wasn't. I can remember Papa not having more than a nickle In his pocket, Mama making over old clothes, never enough shoes, socks with knee patches, milk and cornbread for supper, burning corn for fuel, wishing wish-ing for a new dress, picking cotton from daylight to dark, chopping cotton, pulling radishes, hog-killing times, studying by a coal oil lamp, gathered around a pot-bellied stove, taking Saturday night baths in a number two tub, underclothing undercloth-ing in shreds or patched on top of patches, wishing I could take singing sing-ing lessons, hauling wood, and other oth-er inconveniences! Right this minute, min-ute, I'm wishing that I could enjoy en-joy the same inconveniences. In other words, dear readers, I'm home sick again! Mrs. Lorraine Thurgood, of Alameda, Ala-meda, Calif., made a surprise visit for Easter with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Les Welton.

David O. McKay, president of the Mormon Church, Is pictured talking to high school students. In other photographs, multi-millionaire Charlie Steen is pictured in front of his cliffside home in Moab and some of the Marquardt Company's 1400 employees are shown leaving the plant in Ogden. The article shows Bishop and Mrs. Eldon Wright of Charleston, Utah, with "their typically large Mormon family fa-mily of eight children," and Brig-ham Brig-ham City and the Salt Lake Temple Tem-ple are pictured, "Today, after an arduous and sometimes violent century of evolution evolu-tion from religious empire to Federal Fed-eral territory to statehood, Utah finds Itself In the midst of a new transition with the dawning of the space age," author Robert Cahn states. Cahn describes eighty-seven-year old David O. McKay as the most beloved man in Utah. "David McKay Mc-Kay radiates warmth and goodness in Utah," he writes. Commenting on the Thiokol plant boom in Brigham City, the author said one storekeeper told him that they are doing a little more business, but it costs plenty to build up the town for the newcomers, new-comers, "and then they turn a-round a-round and do most of -their shopping shop-ping In Salt Lake City and Ogden," the storekeeper added. Wife of a Thiokol worker told Cahn that it would be a lot more convenient to shop In Brigham City, "but the merchants never have on hand what you need, and besides, the minute they see us coming, the prices go up," she commented. The writer concludes the article with a statement by Utah financial finan-cial leader Marriner Eccles which he said sums up the feeling of many Utahns: "I'd like to see our prosperity based on something more solid and less destructive than the missile industry." When one car outsells all the rest the way this new Chevrolet is doing there's got to be a reason. And we can think of some pretty good ones. The clean-etched looks of the new Body by Fisher, for example. The eager brand of "git" that's under the hood. The easy way it handles, rius the added advantage of extra-cost options like triple-turbine Turboglide. But to sample all these reasons together, you have to get a Chevrolet out en the road.
