Because we're all dog lov-who lov-who are now overseas (Bob Ben- ers. Our dog, Honey, was a nuis- m-U in Germany and Brent Wad- dingham in Vietnam) who prob- nhlv eniov readine the stories on Little l-eague Football play. Both have younger brothers who are p.aying and both have recently figured in Iheir team's wins. Bob und Brent are subscribers of the greatest little you-know- wn-'ll! SWEARING We caught n lot of the confer- once last weekend on television. I was impressed with Pres. Boyd Packer's solution to swearing or using the Lord's name in vain. iler rocker is president o. tne new. England States mission field and we know a returned missionary who thinks Fres. Packer is tops: son at the door. They had stopped Pres. Packer, in exhorting his to tell us that BG had been hit by listeners to refrain from using theja car. Sue couldn't stand to think Ixird's name in vain, urged them that he might be hit again, to substitute a family member's We decided nfter that w wn.iirt don't swear very often and I cringe everytime I do. (Mama and Papa Pyland frowned on swearing with a stick across the backside or a slap in the mouth.) I think I'm going to keep that little suggestion sugges-tion as one of the things I use at Self-improvement. DELTA CITY ELECTIONS I was interested and pleased that Deltans are calling two nom- jriuu.ig cuiivt.iiiu.ia lur lauuiuaica . for Delta City Council. Apathy is never good and especially in elec tions. I am just dying to vote in the Delta elections and unable to do so because we live out of town. Number 14 WARRENT OFFICER Reed E.

After a week of telling each other we made the right decision we began talking a-bout a-bout a breed of dog big enough to knock a car off the road or a small one. Eventually we decided on a dachsund and he's still with us. The breed is supposed to be a badger dog and is used for hunting hunt-ing in Germany. Our poor little critter thinks he's "people" and will hardly get his paws dirty! We a., stuiu inn. n.r ue.ug so spouea and go on spoiling him, anyway. He sounds vicious when a knock comes on the door. He just sounds that way. But he is loyal to the R. H. Riding family.

That question has been tossed around a lot lately as terms of 3 councilmen expire. These seats are presently held by Councilman Arch Barben, Bob Price and Dell Ashby. Deltans will be pleased to learn that nominating conventions for both the Citizens Party and the Independent In-dependent Party have been set for Wednesday, Oct. 11. Acting Chairman of the Citizens Party is Glen Swalberg. The Citizens Cit-izens Party will meet at the Millard Mil-lard County Offices in Delta. Acting Chairman of the Independent Inde-pendent Party is Leoyd Lovell. Independents In-dependents will meet at the Delta City Offices. Both conventions are called for 8:00 p.m. . The first item of business at the conventions will be election of a Permanent Chairman and a Secretary. Secre-tary. After these two offices are filled, nominations will be accepted accept-ed for candidates for Delta City Council. It is hoped that three candidates from each convention will be nominated. nom-inated. If more than three are nominated nom-inated at one or both conventions, the field will be narrowed to three by secret ballot. A candidate may also be nominated nom-inated by certificate. This means the signature of twenty-five voters vot-ers within the city limits are required re-quired to nominate a candidate for office. Partisan politics has little to do with Delta City elections. City councilmen serve he city's interest, regardless of their personal politics. poli-tics. City Attorney Eldon Eliason says that the deadline for filing is Monday, Mon-day, Oct. 23, 1967.
