But to me in the 1920's it was the most important book of all. Not even a set of encyclopedias contained as much information. The latest styles of clothing, every item needed by every member of the family. Gadgets that reflected the latest technology, it kept you up on the advancements going on in the world. Women attempted to make patterns for the new style dresses Little girls cut out the figures from the old issue, to use as paper doll's. Little boys learned lots of things from the catalog, things that they were too shy to ask their mothers about. You could order a buggy! And the farmer could order a plow, harness, saddles, and medications, salves and horse shoes ointments to keep the animals healthy.. There was something for everyone and for need. Most things you could not afford, every hours but those items, you could spend about. dreaming The catalog came twice a year. The Spring and Summer and the Fall and Winter issues. By the time the new issue came, the old one was tattered and torn. Everyone in the family had gone through it dozens of times. When the new issue came, you never threw away the old one. No Way! Now the catalog began a new life. It was relegated to the outhouse! There it was always welcomed. The softer thin sheets disappeared first until only the stiff shiny pages were left. Then you began to wish that Sears would send out their new issue. To those not familiar with the word, It was a Outhouse. A small building with no masterpiece. a windows, only door and was placed in the back yard. You needed to visit it often but the atmosphere was such that you didn't tarry for long. And in the wintertime those icy updrafts soon sent you scooting to the house, to get warm. Do you remember Norman Rockwell's paintings for the Saturday Evening Post? My favorite painting was the one showing a s, woman red flannel heavy-sbacked up to a glowing, wood burning heater. I always thought of her as having just returned from a frosty encounter at the little house in the back yard! Li 1 - Beaver High School Milford High School Tigerettes The Sears & Roebuck Catalog K !

The incident was an accident isolated which, at to officials, DWQ according no time posed danger to drinking water. The company, local elected officials and the community in general may have a lot about learned communication and trust. Delay by the company in reporting the incident to the state sent up the first red flag. The second red flag was when it became apparent that local officials were unaware. Rob Adams, Circle 4 general manager, calls it a He said learning experience. last Friday that it may have been an error in judgement to withhold the information from local government, residents, and the press.

Through training incentives, they let us know that what we do really counts," she said. Repeat contact with such prize animals as "Chrysler" add excitement and interest. Sara has cared for the 800 lb. sow and two litters of her babies. Al what point should residents, who's drinking water is derived from the same underground aquifer eflected by the August, ground water incident, have been advised of the possible contamination? According lo Don Ostler, of DWQ. probably never. An attorney lor the proposed Milford Valley Township just happened to be in the right place at the right time to pick up on the incident. Ostler referred to it as "minor" and not dangerous. He explained that the draw down created when Circle 4 restarted the defective pump would have kept any contamination confined to the immediate area. Water in the aquifer moves at a slow pace, lessening the possibility that the contaminant plume may have migrated beyond the cone of depression before the pump was restarted Irrigation sprinklers throughout the valley would, quite logically, have been in operation on the late summer weekend, causing draw down of their own. Editor 's note: Phone inquiry from the Monitor directed to Gary Edwards, Southwest Utah Health, as late as, January 9, 1997, received response that he blew of no Circle 4 Fanns pennit violations.

Due to a temporary w atcr source The incident development shortage the company decided to add an additional well to the system. Before connecting the well to the system, an attempt was made to minimize sand content in the water by installing a temporary 2" pipeline to convey water directly to the primary waste lagoon at the farm site. Sometime between Friday afternoon and Monday morning the electrical motor of the pump failed. Sand content of the water further damaged the pump, causing the check valve to fail. An unknown amount of waste from the lagoon was siphoned from the lagoon down into the well. The well is located approximately 300' South and 600' East of the North Quarter Corner of Section 34, T29S, Rl W. The well has an 8" casing and is installed to 400' in depth.
