Just absolutely nothing going on. Well, I take that back, there are a few things that I can tell you. Wanda Beckwith had a run-in with a post at the post office not so very long ago with her car. She wasn't hurt but the post took a beating. Later she happened to be at the post office when another lady did the exact same thing. I think tooth Moss Co-Sponsors Bill Creating 'Sacrifice Medal' WASHINGTON, D. C. - Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Utah) will co-sponsor co-sponsor a bill which would provide for the creation of a-military decor ation to be known as the "Supreme Sacrifice Medal." The medal would be presented to the widows or next of kin of members of the Armed Services who lose their lives in the service of the United States. "Such a decoration will more appropriately ap-propriately recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by those servicemen and women and the inevitable loss suffered by their families," Senator Moss said. "Of course," he added, "there 's really nothing we can do to fully compensate for the loss of a loved one, but it seems to me such a decoration is the least we as a nation, can do." Principal sponsor of the bill is Senator Vance Hartke (D-Indiana).

'SERVING Vol. 59 No. 38 177 Utah Rural Families Seeking Electric Service WASHINGTON -- Some 177 Utah families in western Tooele, Juab and Millard counties will receive electric service for the first time if an application for a $14 million loan is approved by the Rural El .ctrification Administration, Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd, R-Utah, said Tuesday. The Utah Republican, in a letter to David Hamil, administrator of REA, asked for early approval of the loan application to be submitted submit-ted by Mt. Wheeler Power, Inc., a cooperative organized to bring electricity to the rural areas of central eastern Nevada and western, wes-tern, Utah, which are presently without service. Rep. Llovd said he believes the project exemplifies the most proper and beneficial use of REA funds." The loan would include costs of acquiring Ely Light and Power Co properties to provide a base forthe .,hl,Hnn tBm whif,h wi distribution system, which will cover a service area of over 19,000 square miles. In addition to the Utah families, the project will serve 640 consumers consum-ers in the Nevada counties of White Pine, Eureka, and portions of Elko and Nye Counties. Power for the system would come from the Colorado River Storage Project at Glen Canyon Dam, and would be delivered at Fillmore, Utah under a contract already negotiated with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. Of the total $14 million cost, about $4 million will be spent in Utah, Rep. Lloyd said, the entire system will include approximately 400 miles of transmission lin", 1.045 miles of distribution line, and six substations. Mr. Lloyd said he had been advised ad-vised that the project would not be in competition with the private power companies, and would be subject to approval by the Public Service Commissions of both Utah and Nevada. . had forgotten to set their brakes and while both of them were inside in-side giving Ed and Cleo a bad time about mail service their cars started towards the building. The only thing that stopped the cars inside the city limits was the post office building itself! Wanda was feeling pretty sad about her little accident because she has been spending so much time teaching Collins good driving habits. Neighbors tell that she would get Collins up every morning morn-ing about 4:00 o'clock with a bright llittle "Come on Son, let's check your driving habits th's morning." Anyway, her accident undermined all her confidence and for two mornings straight she'd cover her head with her quilt when Collins would say "Mother, aren't you going to check my driving habits this morning?" (Neighbors say, her confidence was restored when she saw this other lady do the same thing.) Actually, though, Collins is a good driver. There is no more I pieasuraoie tmng to ao in Delta ior us oiasiers man to stana on tne street corners and say to each other as Collins drives by "See. See Collins. See Collins drive.

Well, that about changed when word got around about her accident. acci-dent. People turned their heads when Collins drove ty or else would mutter "He is a good driver, that Collins. But his mother had little to do with it." Poor Wanda! She is quite busy these days getting ready for the openhouse in honor of her father's 85th birthday. Her neighbors tell me she is up at all hours of the night washing walls, scrubbing furniture, cleaning windows. Nels and Louise Bogh haven't had any sleep to speak of these last few nights. (I've been told that Carl Warner over at D. Stevens is plenty disturbed about Louise's going to sleep on the job. I heard that he told her "Louise I won't mind your catching a few winks in one of the dressing rooms. But, on your feet? In front of customers?) cus-tomers?)

The dress of the young people at a dance conformed to standards of cleanliness clean-liness and good taste. For many oi the young Mexican students it was their only shirt for many of the girls, their only skirt and blouse--in fact they borrowed clothes while an outfit was being washed. Bishop Brown praised the way the young people conducted themselves "There was no trouble telling boys from girls and there was no distortion in manner of dancing." "Evils today come wrapped up in exciting packages," continued Elder Brown with reference to the evil of drugs.

"We're missionaries by the kind of lives we live--a light on the hill," he said. He cited examples of how young people throughout the world including the servicemen in Viet ,Nam are spreading the gospel, and ; he concluded with bearing his i testimony that "President David O.

He made a comparison between the dust and dirt thrown out by an old fashioned fashion-ed threshing machine and the unclean un-clean places In the world of temp-' temp-' tation today. "If you're going to involve yourself and subject yourself your-self in unclean places, you can expect some of it to rub off on you," he said. loiter, he noted they added an extention to the combine , and he drew another analogy "I think the Word of Wisdom is an extension to keep us away from dirt." I When the harvesting crew came to the home to eat, there was usually someone at the door to say, "You can't come in here un'l you clean yourself up," and there was usually a wash basin and towels nearby, Mr. Moody related. Likewise, "This is the time and place to prepare to meet God, he stated. In conclusion he said, "We must build around ourselves spirituality spirit-uality which will keep us clean. The Lord expects us to practice and teach in our homes (young and old alike) all the virtues necessary nec-essary to become Godlike study the scriptures, attend church meetings, meet-ings, and obey the commandments." command-ments." This wall of complete spirituality he compared to the protection against dust and grime which the air conditioned cab affords af-fords the operator of the new combines. com-bines. President Frank A. Lyman commented com-mented on the importance of using our free agency to choose the right. He sair he thought the "saddest "sad-dest story In the Bible is of King David. He had his free agency and the Lord wouldn't interfere. Don't allow yourselves like David did, to see things you shouldn't see. The Lord would've liked to step In when David sent a messenger to tell Uriah's wife to come to his home." He stressed the importance of homo and family saying," You can't have happiness without a family to share it with. Our posterity poster-ity will be innumerable if we live for it." Pres. Lyman said, "We have an outstanding group of young people in the Deseret Stake. We have fifty-six missionaries; this is a report re-port card (those who go missions and those that marry in the temple). tem-ple). He outlined progress of the souls of men saying, "We were in the spirit world a long time before. j and there's no end to our afterlife; after-life; you can have long range planning then." He cited the example ex-ample of Abraham "blessed with innumerable posterity in the world and out of the world; if you can count the stars, you can count his posterity." President Eldon A. Eliason drew his theme from the quotation, "I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything but I can do some things. What I can do, this I ought to do. And what I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do."-(Cannon Farr). He commented on the senior class of high school students soon to graduate saying, "All of them know the requirements. There isn't a single potential graduate that would willfully ignore or dis regard that prerequisite of having 12 credit hours of approved work; otherwise they know they are drop outsand there will be no corn mencement" He indicated that only one person can stop any senior student from reaching his goal and that is the person himself. him-self. Pres. Eliason continued, "The gr atest enemy of the church are those in our own camp who, thru idleness or indifference, are losing eternal salvation for themselves and for others. Who is responsible for the neglected, home teaching, the failure to have family home evening, family prayers? Parents have this responsibility I pray that every man will learn his duty and act in all dilligence."

Brough from his teaching position with Millard School District was Improper because it happened without cause, a memorandum Judgement handed down by Fifth District Judge C. Nelson Day said Tuesday. Mr. Brough's -ttorney, Walter R. Ellett. sand attempts will be made Thursday to arrange a meeting between the school district and Mr. Brough to settle the matter amicably. Mr. Brough was dismissed from his teaching position by the district dis-trict in October, 1967, apparently for his opposition to federal aid to education, said Mr. Ellett. School district spokesman said the cause for the dismissal was Mr. Brough's refusal to accept a transfer from teaching history, political science and debate at Millard High School, Fillmore to a team-teaching position at Delta Junior High School. Mr. Brough has since been seeking seek-ing reinstatement, said Mr. Ellett Judge Day's opinion said the rules of thi school district define a career teacher as one who has served for three years. Mr. Brough has eight years of teaching experience exper-ience behind him, said Mr. Ellett. The school district failed to follow proper procedure in dismissing Mr. Brough and therefore must reinstate rein-state him or pay punitive damages, the judge ruled. Mr. Ellett said Mr. Brough began court action to seek either reinstatement rein-statement or punitive damages. He must waive one or the other, sa'd the attorney. LETTERS . . . TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Most construction families are good people. We have ambition, energy, talents and skills that make a town a bit better for our being-or having been there. It is a shame that the one discrimina- ttion practiced in Delta involves housing for these families. A few local people think that we're paid such a high wage we can easily afford such prices for living quarters. quar-ters. Most of us construction workers work-ers are paid an hourly rate. The higher the rate, the higher the taxes and the take home pay isn't making us rich very fast. Being construction people we have numerous expenses that most people aren't even aware of. Delta could be the type of town you'd be pleased to raise your family in. It's sad that many families fam-ilies will never get that chance and some already here are forfeiting forfeit-ing the opportunity as they can live In other places. The people in Delta are much like the people in construction work-mostly good-just an occasional occasion-al one to blight the reputation of all.
