And with this summer weather nothing seems like Christmas. I can't even keep up with the weeks. I think no one cares if I write. Then some one always tells me about it when I miss putting in a bit of news. So to my friends I better get on the ball. There's not much news to write about. But here goes anyway. Our Sacrament meeting Sunday was very nice. Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Taylor gave the program. Mrs. Taylor Tay-lor always tells a beautiful story. She can almost make you live the things she talks about. She has a rare gift for story telling. Mr. Taylor Tay-lor also gave a fine talk. j After meet:ng we held fire side chat. We had 28 members present. Our speakers were Elder Gary Sampson who just returned from the Gulf States Mission, and his twin brother. Larry, who is serving In the Air Force at Mt. Home, Ida ho. Both boys talked. And I'm sure all those who attended were well paid. tarry is do'ng a fine job preaching preach-ing the gospel and setting an example ex-ample in the Air Force. We also elected officers to take charge of our meetings. Home also, were their sister, Kay from Las Vegas. I bet Fern is bursting burst-ing with pride over her twin boys. Mr. Al Willden and Mr. Glen Bunker made a trip to Idaho last week. Mr. Darrell Willden is In Mes-quite, Mes-quite, Nev., working for the Bunker Brothers construction.

By Dick Morrison FINE SAFETY RECORD Reports last month in both the daily and the weekly press seemed to put the Millard school bus ser vice in a bad light. It seems more defects were found or at least reported re-ported on Millard busses than on others. In fairness to the people who have been doing a really fine job of transporting hundreds of students stu-dents each school day, I want to call attention to a point that was not mentioned. The safety record of our bus service is excellent. Why, then, the apparent contradiction? I have been told that the inspection inspec-tion was very strict as it applied to M Hard busses. Minor technicalities, technicali-ties, such as a broken wire seal on a first-aid kit, were counted a-gainst a-gainst the service, whereas in at least one other district of which I have information, even more serious items did not result in demerits de-merits if they were promptly corrected. cor-rected. And, I am told, at least one M Hard bus was ordered out of service ser-vice on a technicality which did not legally apply. A Delta lawyer was apprised of the situation, and authority to return the bus to service ser-vice was obtained forthwith. I talked to bus drivers and shop men, as well as students. Roy Lo- see, on the driver s Job for thirty- store some of the body. It is a rattling good car. BOOM IN OLD AUTO PARTS The fad of restoring old autos has gone farther than I realized. Last summer, two different men from California stopped at my place and wanted to buy obsolete Ford parts. I sold them some, cheap, although I imagine they may cash in on them in the Los Angeles market. There were, for instance, in-stance, some hydrostatic fuel guages for the 1935 model, not new, but unused, and genuine stuff. There was a fender for the 1937 car, and one for the 1941 station wagon. Also, even, two starter ,j i . i . i f I.ake dealer demanded rash in nrf- u."v- "L ",e useu lu replace i :t : ' the Abel starter which was used on slight-demand. Frank and Wanda !vey flrs.t mod As-and whicM brought the wagon to my then unused un-used showroom, and with loving care put the new top on. They took the car home, and guess what. proved a failure. One man wanted to buy my old Ford Laboratory Test Set. I told him it was not for sale.

Mer-ritt Mer-ritt Floyd and Glen Christensen were dispatched to bring it home. Being sporty-1 ke, they decided the best way to get to Nephi was to go by air, so they hired one of Leo Burraston's planes and flew over. When they drove the new wagon to the Nephi airport, some man there, whose name we do not know, let off steam by denouncing the inequities in-equities of 1 fe. Cars were scarce then, and he declared it an outrage out-rage that those two could be sporting sport-ing both a new airplane and a new station wagon, when the average "little guy" couldn't get either. Glen and Merritt didn't disabuse the fellow, as Glen started home in the station wagon and Merritt in the airplane.

We ordered a new top cover, which ;ost $25.00, and for which the Salt up. right pedal to stop. We drove from Fred's journey. Chad Spor tells me that a few years ago, he hauled some forty or f fty model T fenders to the city dump, having despaired of ever selling them. As of now, quite a revival in demand for model f parts has developed. And, of course, for parts for all makes. Everybody had his favorite car in the old days. Deusenbergs, Cords, Vik.ngs, Marquettes, Apper-sons Apper-sons there's a long list. I don't forget B. E. Cooper's 1928 Cadillac, once owned by Don Bird, nor Don's present model A. If you aren't a hi-fi enthusiast, chances are you are an old car addict. The two hobbies hob-bies are rewarding, and some people peo-ple ride both. $ & THE WONDER OF IT I remain intrigued by reports of Telstar and also of RCA's new satellite, sa-tellite, Relay. Watching one of the telecasts via Telstar, we were told that it was necessary to turn off the satellite because it was about to go over the horizon, and the batteries would have to be recharged. re-charged. One remarkable thing is the way such devices can be controlled from earth, across vast reaches of space. It is up there, moving some 17,000 miles an hour, out of reach of hu man hand, but not out of reach of a degree of human control. What are these electromagnetic waves that can reach out in space and cause man's will to be done? Telstar has developed trouble which limits its usefulness; Relay didn't seem to be working perfectly at the start of its orbit, but so what? They are both pioneer efforts, ef-forts, and magically successful. When Mariner II, which isn't an earth satellite, but rather may be house called a space traveller, was ap proaching Venus, its automatic controls didn't seem to be working right, so men in comfortable rooms on earth sent out "orders" which caused the mechanism designed to transmit information back to earth to start functioning. This information informa-tion may prov'de knowledge man has never had before. Even earlier, when Mariner II got to deviating fr om its prescribed path, "orders' from earth caused it to change direction. Here man has caused his will to be worked more than thirty million miles out in space! Accurately, Accur-ately, predictably, and almost instantaneously. in-stantaneously. At the World's Fair, I watched a minister observe an adding- machine, ma-chine, at the IBM exhibit, which responded, to spoken words. The operator op-erator would speak numbers, the machine would print them, and then, when the word total was spoken, it would print the total on the tape. What, I thought, might be going on in the mind of this man, a devotee of the super-natural, as he observed this manifestation manifes-tation of .the natural? For that matter, what was going on in my mind? X CHRISTMAS STORY . - Santa was in town the 15th. which brings a little incident to mind which I had the pleasure to observe a' year ago. A little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eldro Jeffery came into the hardware hard-ware store. "Did you see Santa?" she was asked. "Yes," she replied, and then added, add-ed, "He looks younger than he did last year". Which seems to provide proof of some kind that Santa may never grow old. - ' Mr. Brown Soniord oi Pangudtch, spent Saturday in Delta visiting.
