Show Dates Dear Inez: I have been tempted on several occasions to write to you and express ex-press my feelings concerning the fine work our students from Delta are doing here at the "Y", but then I would think that I might be a little prejudiced when it comes to evaluating them and would pass up the next edition of the Chronicle, but this article about Joe, simply indicates the thing I have known for a long time, so let me get this off my chest, As I watch these DHS students perform on a college level I be come more convinced all the time that they come from pretty good stuff, they seem to excel In most everything they attempt, many have made the honor rolls, taken leadership in student government and in all respects proven to be fine men and ladies in all their work. I never see any of them wasting time. In fact they are so busy we can't find time for the organization of a Delta Club. They have learned the value of time and work. I am always proud to meet them on campus or have them come to my office for a chat. Time and space will not permit me to take each one and "brag" on them, buf, Joe is just one of the fine people we have up here who received their training in the homes, churches and schools of West Millard County. You can all be proud of their accompohslv ments. It makes me feel pretty old but very proud to have them bring their fine babies in to show me. You would be surprised to know that we have quite a big family now and we are all very proud of this increase I am also priviledged to have many of the boys who, when they return from their missions, drop in to say hello and report they are home and are back in school. What fine looking men they are, my heart skips a beat as they walk in to the office and say "Hi do you remerber me" I had three come in this week. I want to add my bit to this article about Joe, J .was there the night Joe was hurt, he had it won and could have 'gone all the way, but he has made us all proud of him and we wish he could have been in competition this year at NCAA. He is surely-a great guy So may I take Ihis oportunity to congratulate you people nown home on the fine young people you have produced. Their success has in a large way been because of the love and understanding you have given them, truely they have come from goodly parents. The payoff is in seeing them grow into fine young men and women Continued on back page) LETTERS...

Calls to and from Delta to Lynndyl, Leamington and Oak City will no longer be toll calls when this service ser-vice is established. The rates for this improved service ser-vice have not been established as yet. It is necessary that a rate be established by the Telephone Company Com-pany that will compensate for the addod investment and the loss In toll revenue. When the exact amount Is established by the Telephone Tele-phone Company, it will be presented present-ed to the Public Service Commission of Utah for their approval.
