It took a lot of courage for Mayor Welby Warren and his associates to tell the newcomers in the towns that they would have to cut down in sprinkling their lawns so that the rest of us could get a drink, but they worked it out and nobody was really hurt. Meantime, they went ahead planning for the future, with the result that we now have a fine well whichTtakes care of our water needs. Mayor Warren fought hard for'a bond issue to pay for the well and an adequate up to date pump, and got it across. Now-whave, a "modern water system, without which no town can exist, let alone grow. It wasn't easy, and I admire Mayor Warren and the rest of the council for the tacl; and energy which they used to bring it about.

I told cousin Zeke about the squable they are having over in Provo about the City Manager and. of , iJ , course his .sympathy was all with the manager. He admitted that being a na-- " tive of the city helped, and he thought ' the art of being a successful and popular city manager consisted in simply doing the- - job the best be could and passing the buck to the city council, who enjoyed ' playing politics. In addition to his city job Zeke holds one job with the county,, and another '"with a veterans organization. While he didn't say so I think his prime tion is an ability to get along with peo- pie.
