Strasser, visit us for a number of days recently. She came a few days before Bill to be with us on our 62nd Wedding Anniversary, spend the 24th of July in Beaver and attend her class reunion. He couldn't leave when she did because of some urgent school work. Both of them were glad to meet and associate once again with so many of their relatives and friends. There were I other things that pleased them, also. One was to get away from the hot and sultry weather found on the East Coast this time of year. Another was to go into my garden and enjoy eating fresh vegetables, especially the peas. The new potatoes Jessie prepared was a delicious treat for them. After a short time spent with us they motored to Glen Canyon Nat'l Re. Area to further enjoy themselves. While there, they had three glorious experiences along with many other attractions. One was a half-da- y boat trip on the lake which they described as extremely beautiful and spectacular. Following this, they , with 15 others took a ride on a raft down the Colorado River some distance and were brought back to the place of beginning in a bus. This ride, as stated, was very thrilling and I imagine a little wet. Lastly, but by far not the least, they boarded a plane and were flown over the Grand Canyon. They returned home full of energy and recommended the trip very highly. Jessie and I visited the canyon several times while the dam was being built and took moving pictures of it. We haven't been back since the lake has filled with water. One of these days we will get enthused and visit the area again to note the contrast and changes that have been made. The picture is one that was taken while they were here. The old hat on Bill's head is one I have had here in the house for several years, but never have worn. He fell in love with it and was delighted to wear it on the trip to the Canyon. John Gunn AMERICAN DREAM OWNERSHIP their daughter Shirley and husband Bob Hughes from St. George have recently returned from a months vacation in Syracuse, New While there, they York. visted their son and brother Phillip Nelson, his wife Peggy and their six daughters, Machelle, Paige, Dristy, Brigette, Nicole, and Jodi. They traveled by plane from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Syracuse, New York, leaving Las Vegas on July 4th and returning August 5th. Phillip is the Soil Conservation Engineer over the State of New York. He and his family have lived in Syracuse, New York, for the past 2Vi years. While visiting with Phillip and family they were all able to tour points of interest in Washington D.C., New York State, New York City, and parts of Canada. They traveled by car through the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Washington D.C.. They were priveledged to attend a Temple Session in the Washinton D.C. Temple. Merle and Joe report that they were able to participate in several L. D. S. Church functions while they were visiting their son and family. Phillip being a counselor in the Stake Presidency and Peggy's involvement with the young women in the M. I. A. they were busy trying to keep up with their Church duties as well as entertain the folks from Utah. Their 8 year old daughter Kristy was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church while Joe, Merle, Shirley and Bob were there. Joe and Merle report that the Eastern States are very beautiful this time of year. There are hundreds of miles of green foliage, trees, shrubs, lakes and rivers. They receive a lot of rain so they don't need to irrigate like we do in the West. They also report they enjoyed the time spent with their son and family. It was a sad time when they needed to say farewell to the family at the airport in Syracuse, New York and realized they were heading for Utah so far away. But the trip will be a special one to remember. Better Home Club Meets Lucille Hoffheim was host- ess Tuesday evening to the Better Homes Club. Mickey Lowe was in charge of the program and had Joan Hutchings tell of her experi-ance- s while serving in Florida on her mission. The hostess served refreshments. OF HOME GOING UP SMOKE?

Roy began his Forest Service career July 5, 1960, working for the Fishlake National Forest Construction Recreation Crew Supervisor Bill Cox. This crew was responsible for the new recreation areas and reconstruction of old areas throughout the entire Fishlake Forest. Some of the areas include: Little Cottonwood, Mahogany Cove, Anderson Meadow,. City Creek, Little Reservoir, Kent's lake and Ponderosa on the Beaver District; Oak Creek, Adelaide, and Maple Grove on the Fillmore District; Elkhorn, Frying Pan, Bowery, Mackinaw, Dakota Creek all located at Fish Lake.

It was an anniversary party. One year ago a small group of people in Artesia formed themselves into a unit, and on the 18th of July they had completed one year of service to themselves, and their community. Most of the people at the party were drunks Not drunk, but drunks, as in 1 alcoholic. This was the first anniversary party of the Indian Charlie Group of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now I learned something from these folks, and I want to set the record straight. These people aren't against drinking for others. They don't believe that closing up the Bars will cure an alcoholic problem. They don't believe that everyone should quit drinking. They believe that they can help the person who WANTS to quit. Quite a difference, eh. I had a preconcieved idea that these people of A.A. were a bunch of long faced, blue nosed, breast beating, bible pounders who wanted to run John Barleycorn out of the country. Nothing could be farther from the truth. They simply know that there are others in the same fix as themselves; that compulsive addiction to alcohol has made a mess of their lives, and they have a program that can help you out of the long night of the long drunk, if YOU WANT! The driving theme of their talks to one another, and to the newcomer to Alcoholics Anonymous, is that the individual knows if he or she is a drunk, and only that person can WANT enough to work this apparently simple program. I heard one of their speakers say: 'If you aren't sure of this program, if you think it won't work, the only thing for you to do is go out and drink! That the individual must want sobriety so much that he will go to any ends to get it.' I could sit here and write some pretty shocking and cite some pretty horrible stories, but this story is about a rather remarkable group comprised of some not so remarkable people. The Indian Charlie Group are people, make no mistake. They don't want to reform can help that anyone-th- ey one who asks for it. , These folks from all walks of life in the Harbor area are friends. They have a deep earthy enjoyment of life that stati-istic- s, . School Board Comments many who are don't possess. I think that this was the thing that impressed me more than anything else. Their rapt enjoyment of the simple act of living. They see each day as surging dynamic life, and they don't seem to know the meaning of monotony. They aren't they are the people who have found themselves. Sobriety is pretty wonderful to them, and yet they freely acknowledge that it isn't a cure for the everyday ills of live. One gentleman rather wryly admitted that he seemed to have one helluva lot more daily problems than he had before, and then he stated firmly: 'Now I face up to them instead of running away from them, and they don't pile up.' I heard a pretty young housewife say:'When I was drunk all the time my only companion was confusion.' 'Then she grinned a smile of pure sensual enjoyment,' and I'm still confused, but isn't it wonderful to realize that you are confused?' A top salesman told me:'The program is no panacea for troubles. You're still going to have them, but now you can handle them.' I heard a lady say that it was the regaining of the daily enjoyment of living that was important to her; that life was a dark lonely hate-fille- d hole, and that now just being alive was a wonderful experience. 'An alcoholic can know the depths of despair. Only another alcoholic can understand this terribly lonely feeling.' I could go on quoting from these amazing rejuvenated people. I could spend endless days writing of their experiences, and yet this isn't the story at all. The story is simply about the First anniversary of the Indian Charlie group of A.A. They met on their regular Wednesday night, 8:30 p.m. at the Kiwanis Hall in Artesia. They laughed at their foibles, sympathised with their troubles, drank tubs of coffee, ate pounds of cake, and there was a light in their eyes that was a wonder for me to see. Say, if you think that you've run the course long enough, and you want to quit you can meet these people when they hold their annual n in Beaver on Labor Day week-enThey'd like to get to know you.

Also attending the first meeting was Principal ACCIDENTS AND BREAKFAST Persons who skip breakfast are more apt to have industrial and traffic accidents in the four or five hours after rising. Researchers attribute the fact to reduced blood glucose following an overnight fast which can cause anxiety, dizziness, fear, irritability, and irrational behavior. These manifestations increase the chances of an accident. Persons performing tasks requiring alertness, concentration, and mental and physical response are advised by nutritionists to have a breakfast containing some protein. Bids Belknap Addition Three bids were received for the new ramps and enclosed concourse at the Belknap and were opened and found to be as followed: Atkin Brothers, Dan Joseph.

Board meeting will be held every second Wed. at 10 a.m. in the Beaver High School. The P.T.A. officers want to make this a banner school year and welcome any suggestions from members of the community. FAT AND THIN BUDDIES The 'buddy system' is the cornerstone of a permanent weight-los- s system advocated by psychiatrist William Rader. The method is explained in the book, Dr. Rader's Program for Permanent Weight Loss. Dr. Rader recommends careful recording of all food eaten and a commitment to a phone call or other contact with a buddy whenever you propose to make a change in your eating plans. Nine times out of ten, Dr. Rader contends, No-Di- cravings disappear with a buddy after-talk- s Beaver, Utah, $52,206.00, Diversified Construction, Sandy, Utah, $80,300.00, and Riley Con- struction, Beaver, Utah, $50,655.00.

That gives them a chance to expend and recharge energy at the most opportune time. There is nothing wrong from a health standpoint, researchers report, if the lifestyle and occupation make such behavior possible. The type of rest that contributes most to body regeneration is not of the lazy type. It is sit-do- sleep, honest-to-goodne- sleep Farrer. for proper drainage. The motion was seconded by Heber H.
