'"Tremonton merchants want to know what shoppers dislike as well as like about their services," Glen Curtis, chairman of the Tremonton Merchants Committee said. Don Stenquist has been appointed as committee head. He will work with a committee of eight.

The Blue Ribbon panel is earned them recently. The Watson's colorful yard caught the eye of judges in the beautification contest. Yard Of Month It's summertime planting and wintertime planning that keeps August's g yard in order. Joe and Wyoma Watson are the owners and gardeners of Tremonton's most recent Yard of the Month. And, it's not their first yard honor. The Watsons received the Most Improved Yard award in Logan a couple of years ago. The Watsons live near the Skyway Golf Course and with the splash of oranges, reds, pinks and purples against their white brick home, the place is not easy to miss. The Watsons are newcomers to the Tremonton area, moving here from Logan last November. prize-winnin- "We just planted annuals this summer to get things going," Mr. Watson said. "You have to live in a place a while and study it before you know what to grow," he added. i The Watsons have plans for adding trees, more shrubbery, a patio, plus a fence along the back yard. The Watsons said they have learned so much about gardening this summer. They said they found the dirt in the Tremonton area much heavier and the air much windier. "These conditions make a difference in gardening," Mr. ' for the price of one. Good Aug. 29 Riv-erto- n, Watson said. The Watsons normally can be seen mornings working in their yard, watering, weeding and planting. "It's the most relaxing thing in the world to do," the Watsons agreed, referring to gardening. "We like to stay home and work in the yard," they further agreed. One reason for this is Mrs. Watson's love of flowers. She is now trying to figure out how to bring all of her flowers in the house for the winter. She will be adding them to her plant menagerie near the front window. Mrs. Watson's collection of flowers is varied. She said, "If I see a flower I haven't got, I go mad, until I get it." Mrs. Watson said that she would much rather see flowers growing than weeds. She remembers Joe, her husband of ten years, pulling flowers ' instead of weeds. Mr: Watson acquired his love of gardening from his wife. Mr. Watson gets more in on the vegetable garden part of things around the yard. He also has recently planted six fruit trees. He says that the secret of raising fruitful fruit trees is never letting the frost touch the blossoms. "People think we're crazy out there unthawing our hoses and washing off the frost before the sun comes up," Mr. Watson said. "At least until fall fruit time." The Watsons even remember pans-ie- s at Christmas from their flower garden. Joe Watson was born and raised in central Texas. He spent 25 years in the service, serving in the capacities of ROTC instructor at Penn State in Pennsylvania and.Utah State University in Logan. He also acted as rifle team coach at these universities. He calls rifle shooting a hobby today. Wyoma Watson is from Star Valley, Wyo. She met her husband at Utah State University. She enjoys sewing, quilting, and anything new. Mrs. Watson has six children from a previous marriage. Mr. Watson claims them as his own and they claim him as ' their own. The Watson's children are LuAnn Shrives, Logan; Elizabeth Hale, Malta; Tom Hale, Logan; Danny Hale, Newton John Hale, Rainier, Washington and David Hale, Eugene, Oregon. The Watsons also have 18 grandchildren. "At least we did, at last count," they laughed. ; Tremonton. Tolman is a teacher at Jordan High School in Sandy. He first entered military service at Ft.
