They are both up the rest of the month in the Provo Utilities Building and it will be well worth your time to see them.

PHILADELPHIA (UPI) One man wanted a talking robot to deliver a marriage proposal to the woman he loved. Another devilish soul sought a horse to leave in a friend's apartment as a gag Christmas gift. A mother wanted a marching band to strut down the street on her son's birthday. All these people were customers of Whims for Rent, a Philadelphia firm that caters to those flamboyant people who love jokes and crazy parties. "Our motto is we fulfill your fantasies, just so long as it's legal," said Joseph Ball, president of the American Advertising Services, Inc., which created Whims for Rent. firm has the contacts to supply a The belly dancer for a club picnic, a football star to serve as a butler at a dinner party, or a man dressed in a gorilla suit to deliver a bouquet of flowers. Whims for Rent has so many requests for girls to jump out of cakes; that the company built its own in diameter. "Sometimes we cardboard cake, can't get it through doors," Ball said. "Another common request that we have to say 'no' to is the pie in the face," Ball said. "That's assault and battery. A lot of people want to do it as a joke to people they like. They think it's funny." Whims for Rent was formed, Ball said, when many of the advertising firm's customers came in with requests to plan large promotions, trade shows, grand openings, or parties for employees. "We've had parties where we've flown in palm trees and sand Hawaiian grass skirts and leis," said Eileen Pecarsky, a Whims employee. Companies are more likely to have the funds needed to stage extravagant events, she said. For example, the Royal Electric Supply Co. threw a Western bash for 1.000 purchasing agents The company's parking lot was transformed into a farm with bales of hay, live horses and goats. Guests came dressed in Western outfits, danced to country music, and ate roast beef cooked on a spit, baked beans and coffee served in tin cups. seldom spend four hours 9 Tuesday day in church, but Cracroft. rn - in- terested than some Mormon groups I've talked to.

Toto be thankful to say able I'm day I'm more stabilized." I was beginning to come more awake all the time. The capper was by a speaker I didn't know and cannot remember but he was telling about an LDS conference iri Germany where Mrs. Ezra Taft Benson was a speaker. She was telling of her family, and how she used to call her children. "Do you want to know how I called my children?," she asked. There were nods in the affirmative. She put two fingers to her mouth qnd blew a piercing whistle that rat Richard Cracroft. He was presiding at a recent stake conference. "Many people." he said, "probably think Satan is an English teacher in a red suit. And some may think God is at times an English teacher conjugating their sins." He then delivered the punchline: "Now for those of you who may feel that way about English teachers ..." he paused a moment ... "I are one." He then proceeded to give a combination English lesson and sermon on "active verbs" that kept me from becoming passive and going to inl Articles, events and comment for people in their senior years KW. mm Membtr, Anociat.d Volumt Buytn, Tht Woit'i larg.it d.ol.r aitociation.
