Show Thursday. Marci -- ITS THE LEADER. Trmoaton, Uiali 18, 1954 YOUR HEALTH On August 10, 1953, representatives from Elpractically every city and town in BoxBrig-hader connty met at the court house in City, where sanitary conditions of the county were discussed. A vote tff hands at the end of the discussion indicated that steps would be taken to organize a county health unit, similiar to the operation of the Mosquito Abatement committee of the county, and the estimated cost off running m the organization would be approximately a per year, which would include sanitatwo health physician, four nurses, tion officers, office help .and miscellaneous $37,000 costs. Since that time the towns and cities of Fielding, Garland, Tremonton, Elwood, Bear River City, Deweyyille, have made resolutions in their official minutes, and filed the same with the olficers of the Mosquito Abatement committee, expressing their willingness to go along with the proposed organization of a county health unit, and correct the many conditions that exist, before a serious epidemic should break out. If the citizens of these various communities could realize some of the conditions that exist, they would be as shocked as was the writer, who having lived in the valley for the past eleven years, never dreamed that such dangers to public health exist. It should be stated in all fairness to all city and town officials, that they, or any preceding group of officers should not be blamed for the present conditions, as it is one of the problems that has accumulated during the natural growth of population since this valley was first settled. But, now that conditions are becoming known and recognized, it is their responsibility to take what steps are necessary to correct the danger as soon as adequate planning and finance can be arranged. In order that we may talk plainly we feel that our own city problems should be the first publicized, and the possible corrections suggested, before pointing out other sore spots of contagion sources in the valley and county. Within the space of about seven city blocks, four sewage disposal outlets, one belonging to Garland, are spewing daily .... LOOKING AHEAD EDITORS NOTE: This is the first of a series of editorials in which we hope to point out some of the dangerous, unsanitary conditions which exist in Bear River Valley and Box Elder counover the ty. These conditions have accumulated blame can be placed past years, and no direct on any one individual or groups of individuals, and none is implied, unless specifically so about a million gallons of raw, and we do mean RAW sewage into the Malad river on the east city limits. It is estimated that Tremonton is responsible for about 850,000 gallons, and the Garland outlet possibly the remainder. And before the water of the Ma lad river reaches Tremonton, it has accumu la ted drainage from the numerous towns and individual homes and barn yards that line its banks from it's source in Oneida county. During the past winter months, with the Malad river at low ebb, raw sewage irom our city has been dumping, not into the bottom of the stream, but near the top, where the sewage deposits from homes, businesses, shops, rise quickly to the sur face where it grimly floats down the sluggish moving river, just waiting for a chance for its contamination to be picked up by carriers and taken into the home. A possible remedy has no doubt been considered by our city officials, but as yet, no definite action has been taken. One project which seems fesible would of all outlets on the , be the consolidation river bottom at about third south where a disposal unit could be built, which would chemically treat the sewage of the city before it is dumped in the Malad to be carried away. But ONE CITY or ONE TOWN cannot cure our ills, it will take the cooperation of every community, every home, every farm, before a safe, economical plan can be worked out. And, let's not kid ourselves that the city and town homes are the only offenders. Out in the wide-ope- n spaces of our farms are conditions that could and will spread contagion that may start an epidemic any week, any month, any year.

When I arrived I was assigned to labor here in Maxico City in the Branch of Colonia Roma. I was assigned as a Distr rict Secretary. Ten days after I arrived I had the opportunity to baptise five people, the entire baptism in Spanish. Of course all I had learned the baptismal prayPROPERLY REPLACED er, and Iwas was reaping the fruits of other peoples labors but it was a wonderful experience.

Works In Mutual Also he told me I was in charge of the Mutuals of the District. What a scare, but it all came off alright. The Lord seems to have a way for everything. After laboring there for two months they decided they needed a book keeper and I have been here almost six months in the home now in that capacity. New Assignment When I arrived here they put me in as President of the Mesa Dirictivia of the M. I. A. It is a large responsibility but one that I enjoy. Every month we send a monthly letter to all the Branches (67) in the mission and also write an article far the Mutual in the Mission Publicat- 'The Liahona" It is a monthly magazine and we have a distribution of around ion 1500 copies in Spanish American Mission, Mexican Mission and Guatamalan Mission. Once again thanks for the Leader. May the blessings of the Lord be with you and all the people of the Bear River Valley at all times. I would enjoy hearing from friends if they get a chance to write.

Walking the streets la search of a market for his berries, the lad heard strangely beautiful music He hurried toward the house from which the enchanting sound came. It must be a piano, he thought, because his mother had told him about the sound. The only instrument he had actually heard was a flute he had whittled from a cane. Putting his basket on the steps, the boy ventured to the open door. When the lady saw him she abruptly stopped playing. Philip Bliss related in later life that he begged the lady to "please play some more." Instead of being accommodated, he was ordered away and scolded for making tracks on the porch with hlB dusty feet. Before he died in a railroad 'wreck in his year, Philip Bliss was to write many a song that ladies would be playing on pianos for generations. He usually wrote his own words to his melodies, most of his themes being taken from sermons. As editor of his highly popular "GoBpel thirty-eight- ...
