Thanks-giving. I'm rather tired of Christmas this year before we get started. I don't want nuttin' for Christmas Christ-mas and Bob thinks that's nice as that fits his plans. Before we set up the tree 1 really should clean house. Wonder If there are any decorations decora-tions on the market this year light and airy enough to decorate cobwebs? cob-webs? That would take care of some of the pre-holiday rush. I'll just frost the windows right over the dirt and smudge. That works fine. I've tried that little trick before. The carpet and floors all need cleaning. A bit of glitter over the worst spots will make for a real holiday atmosphere. I'm glad that I have my family trained to dislike fruitcake. Poor dears, maybe they don't dislike my fruitcake. How can a person dislike anything that has never been tasted? The new Christmas five cent stamps are beautiful. Thoughts of Christmases gone by are beautiful. It's really rather fun to decorate a house for Christmas. I'm glad I live in Delta where a group of talented singers prepare to present the "Messiah". They are giving a lot of their time for this Christmas. Well, maybe, I'll get busy for Christmas, 1967. . AUXILIARY REMINDER Have you paid YOUR dues to the American Legion Auxiliary? All of us should before Dec. 29, 1967. The number of girls that will represent our unit and Delta High School at the 1968 Girl State depends entirely en-tirely upon our membership. Donna Smith is Membership Chairman. Send your dues to her. WANNA BET? Despite the popularity polls, the daily newspaper columnists dire predictions and the talk up and down Main Street, USA, ,1'd bet anyone a Christmas ornament that Pres. Johnson would be re-elected if the elections were held today! RECEIVES MASTER'S DEGREE Mr. Leo Ekins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ekins, received his Master's degree from the Oregon State College at Corvallis, Oregon, this fall. Mr. Ekins has accepted employment employ-ment with the Fison Chemical Co. in Kansas City, Missouri. He and his wife and new baby girl will be leaving for Kansas City after the first of the year. The Ekins are residing re-siding in Provo at the present time. Kelp to Small Farmer Proposed to Ease Exodus to Cities (Meeting Dec. 19) A meeting will be held at Richfield Rich-field on Dec. 19,1967 to seek the advice of small farmers on programs pro-grams they feel they need "to help them stay on the land-to keep economic pressures from forcing them Into the cities." Lee A. Wankier, Wan-kier, County Supervisor announced today. The meeting will be held in the Tabernacle at 9:00 a.m. All small farmers and persons in terested in the problems of small farmers are invited to attend. The meeting will be conducted by Douglas T. Simpson, Chairman of the State Technical Action Panel and assisted by members of the btate Panel. Information gained at the meeting meet-ing will be forwarded to the Secre- I tary of Agriculture, Orville L. Free man, for uce in developing proposals pro-posals for strengthening government govern-ment to small farmers. More than 100 similar meetings are being held throughout the country. Secretary Freeman, in a recent announcement of this effort to develop stronger measures to assist small farmers pointed out that, admitted that he had driven the vehicle. According to Trooper Rynearson three of the signs were on double posts. "It would take a bit of doing to knock those signs down," Mr. Rynearson commented. The vandalism left unprotected a rai.road crossing on the main line of the Union Pacific Rai.road off U.S. 50-6 on a county raod. A sign warning the traveling public of a major curve on 50-6 was demolished demolish-ed in addition to a stop sign at the intersection of S.R. 140 and 50-6, Trooper Rynearson said. Deputy .Mills is also investigating investiga-ting damage to signs at the Sherwood Sher-wood Shores property, which was reported to the Sheriff's office by Mrs. Betty Kelly, Manager, two weeks ago. The Sherwood Shores property is located on Gunnison Bent Reservoir on the land formerly former-ly cal.ed the Island Farm. i NUTTY PUBLISHER Editors of weekly newspapers have their days. So do publishers. Bob's was Wednesday as he was making the run with the big D. Stevens PRO ad on one page. The run was completed when he discovered that he had left two items in the ad that he was instructed in-structed to take out! Those two items are the automatic auto-matic ice crusher and the am radio. So, shoppers, ,go on into 'O. Stevens and cuss Bob Riding while you're looking around. You'll see lots of stocking fillers and gifts that would make beautiful packages pack-ages under trees! (Sorry, Bill! Mistakes do happen. Being a Grandpa for the first time is just now catching up with Bob.) Delta Lady Lions To Present "The Messiah" Dec. 18 A Christmas gift to the area will be the Delta Lady Lions Club's presentation pre-sentation of "The Messiah" Monday Mon-day Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m. at the Delta High School auditorium. Early plans were for a charge to be made at the door and proceeds to go to a community project. Club members mem-bers decided, however, that a good musical, production could possibly be one of the best community projects pro-jects that the club could sponsor -and decided to present it free of charge to everyone. Pres. E. L. Moody will give a narrative. nar-rative. Soloists will be Melba Jacobson, June Lovell, Donald Western, and Erwin Farnsworth. Singers are Melba Jacobson, Kathleen Wankier, Arlene Clark, Sandra Dutson Donna Lovell, Dar-lene Dar-lene Hughes Dawn Etta Erickson, Geneive Farnsworth, Hazel Walker, Manon Robison, Dora Rose, Lucy Christensen, Orvetta Nickle Eva Dean Moody, Thelma Black, Lorene Smith, Sharon Shar-on Clark Choral Clark Verla Jensen, Jen-sen, Janice Moody, Keith Rawlin-son, Rawlin-son, Thurmon Moody, Jim Owens, David Moody L.

There are two special practices scheduled that must be attended by the choral group. At 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14 (tonight) and again Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p. m. at the high school. "through the years millions of small farmers, their families, and farm woikers have been forced off the land and into the cities." "Too many," the Secretary said, "end up in ghettos that offer even less than the land they left. We must do more to enable small farmers, far-mers, who want to stay on the land, to boost their income and level of living." A number of tentative programs have been suggested to improve the income of small farmers but no decision regarding the Department's Depart-ment's position will be established until the meetings with small farmers far-mers have been completed- and their reactions to these and other proposals have been analzed. We want to see what other ideas small farmers have about the kind of programs they need to boost their income and stay in farming. If we could help them increase their incomes it might make the difference between their being able to stay where they want to live, or moving to urban areas where they would add to the congestion and welfare problems of our already overcrowded central cities. |
