Lorn a's last kit was purchased on the spot by our Lehi artist. Intriguing, Twila houghJt, .Not, only was wax-aintriguing, but inexpensive and almost instantaneous. She can now, with her newfound expertise, "paint" a wax-apicture in less than an hour. Actually, she doesn't "paint;" it's more of a smack-daeffort combined with detail work done with a soldering iron, needles or sharpened screws. When Twila gets interested in an art medium, she's a genius at inventingtools orequipment which make the task easier. The wax-akit contained the Kodachrome paper needed, a warming plate and a soldering iron. -- w esting she sketches or takes pictures of it, stashes away a memory of the setting and makes up a story or scenario about the item of interest. And the Rockwells see lots more than your average travelers. For instance: They watch for people, places and things thatmost tourists take very much for granted: a mountain, an animal, a person, or an artifact that, for most travelers, is just part of the scenery. Twila's hobbies used to be writing poetry, crocheting, or sketching. Then she discovered oil painting. She realized that she had an eye for art plus she had nimble fingers, an active imagination, and the energy to do something about it. She recently sold a miniature oil painting of a small burro tethered to the corner of a mountain cabin. Avid art collectors from the East sawTwila'spaintingatan artshow in Idaho, negotiated to buy the miniature, and then came back for "Horses are so hard to do," she says. "People aren't easy to do ei- ther,. Birds, flying across the sky" are easier," Twila declares. White crayons are used to separate the backgroun ds from the silver and bronze crayons are used as borders for the completed pictures. The picture dries almost immediately. Twila then brushes the picture with a ceramic coating so the wax won't melt, and another masterpiece has been completed. The eagle-eyegrandma has "painted" a nice inventory of pictures on cards which should be much in demand for those who like the original, or unique greeting cards. No, Twila isn't trying to compete with Hallmark, she's just so full ofideas andenthusiasm for her new medium, that she's been kind of carried away and now has a stock of about 125 cards. If there's anything artistic around, Twila won't be far away. She's now experimenting with the but that's new design haircuts another story. fore-ground- s; rt b d, rt Lenard, using Twila's instructions, honed needles and screws to points fine enough for Twila's painting needs. Voila! Another work of art has come to pass via Twila's enthusiasm and artistry. Melted Crayolas, colors no nevermind, Kodachromed paper, a soldering iron and a warming plate are materials available as Twila works her magic. She brushes the paper across the melted crayons for the background, sky, mountains, pastures, or whatever scene dreamed up by Twila. She then taps the bottom of the paper or card across the lower half of the paper to get the brush, leaves, dirt, or foreground of the picture. more. Who'd ever think a burro, or a common, ordinary mountain cabin would be of interest to anyone? But that's before Twila puts her talents to the test and creates a masterpiece. Twila's newest medium is wax-ar- t. Sound intriguing? It is. d The artist was silver-haire- there. After further discussion, the council approved a motion to table the item until the next council meeting because of considerable citizen concern. Mayor Cash asked that the item be included on the next council meeting agenda. 12-1- 5 ect.,- rt .

In the history of our community we have only had three published papers (there were earlier, manuscript papers). The Lehi Banner covered local events from The Lehi Sun kept us abreast of the news from Last but not least, the Lehi Free Press, which has been giving us the scoop since 1932, is one of our community's most successful enterprises. Today's story is in part about the Lehi Banner, which was established at 68 West Main 77 years ago. The paper was first issued from a small building situated on southwest corner of CenterFourth North. Business was later conducted at 355 North First East and then the Kirkham Building (619 North First East). Publisher James M. Kirkham sold the Banner to former Lehi postmaster S. W. Ross in the fall of 1913. Ross announced in the September 20, 1913, Banner that the paper's new office building at 68 140-ye- ' ar 7. 1914-194- (still-stand-in- West Main would soon be completed.

The new Banner office on the site was completed in April 1914. In the August 8, 1914, issue Ross announced that the "best country newspaper in the state" was going to be enlarged by 50 percent. Besides the regular Lehi, American Fork, and Pleasant Grove news he promised a page of the "latest telegraphic news and a general summary of all the latest state happenings, five columns of a serial story l"Valiants of Virginia"!, two columns of women's features, one column of kitchen cabinent, nearly a full page of agricultural news and a half page each week of pictures of the European War World War The Banner, under Ross's guidance, experienced criticism from interests who thought the paper was owned by the Gais- behind-the-scen- just started the Sun)- - The tactics of these "unprincipled solicitors," as Ross labeled them, con s i s ted of s pr eadi n g ru m ors th at the Banner was "not owned and published by Lehi people."
