JONES Box 428, Monticello, Utah 'V"W My dear San Juaners: I prefer rich people. They do me good. They really have something to give, and they are generous in their giving. I sneak by the poor as best I can, for generally we are not congenial. I remember a rich woman I knew in my early childhood. She was old and gray, stooped and wrinkled. She spoke English very brokenly, for she had spent most of her long life in her native Sweden. Her riches had come to her in greater abundance with her advanced years, and she knew how to use them. Her Swedish people called her "Auntie, and she was Auntie to everybody who knew her. was one The winter of 1887-8- 8 of the coldest ever known in Utah. People froze to death going along the road. I froze one ear going to and from school. Rich old Aunties house was about midway of the five blocks I had to go, and she made it a point to watch for a group of us as we came plodding through the snow. She had us come in by the warm blaze in her big open fireplace, and she smiled at us and caressed us, giving each one a cookie to eat while we were getting warm. She saw that we were wrapped, and told us to hurry on before we froze. Auntie was unusually rich, but I used to wonder where she got the wherewith to do so much for us and for everybody in gpneral. Everybody liked to go to her house, a low log house with only two rooms. She carded and spun and knit stockings. She lived As I remember, she had a cow m a shed of straw, she had two pigs and a few chickens. In the summer she had a garden and she worked early K f s luJJjuP ;L " llll j! ;c! , J Vv , . f '&r X I A I lb Jh.

A rich man lived in a dugout on a little farm in the bend of a long canyon. He was known as Pegleg, because his right leg below his knee was but a wooden peg shaped by his own rough and had ready skill. Experience taught me to regard his generosity as one of my assets, in company with many others, and on a certain stormy night I was in hopes of reaching his place before he retired.

Wet and cold and weary I was glad to see a dim light still in the dugout, and to hear voices and laughter within.

He already had two wayfarers who had sought his shelter, but he was sure he had room for all of us. I know ye aint had no he chuckled, 'an yer supper, hungry as a bar. He fried bacon, sliced potatoes into grease, added eggs and made hotcakes. He took up the coffee pot, and stopped to look at me with understanding recollection, Oh, I remember yer a Mormon, ye drink milk. We got it. It wras a feast for a king, and as he and his company waited that we might all hit the scanty amount of hay at the same time, he entertained us w'ith yarns and songs of the range in Texas. Were they hillbilly songs? Whatever they might be called, they were the spontaneous expression of his joy in giving whatever he had in his hand to give. Pegleg was rich; rich beyond all comparison with the poor souls back up the road in their abundance of everything but real riches. They were poor; poor in spirit, poor in soul. They enjoyed no such wonderful occasions and experiences as Peg-le- g had in his big generous world. In the morning when that prince of the dugout insisted on preparing a lunch to send with me, and urged me to come his way again, I looked back at him standing in the rude doorway of his dwelling, and thought, Peg-lehas something that too few men have; he has riches.

This road co tract is to be let within 60 days, and prospects are that it will be under construction this summer. This Highway, 95, will connect with the big through Highway, Riv85, at Siguard on the Sevier er. We watch with eagerness every step of this coming road which is to connect us with western Utah which at present is so near and yet so far. Don says the next meeting of the Club is to be held in this vicinity, and will probably be within the next month. The Blanding Commercial Club is considering the making of a road into Lower Westwater, leading to the ancient ruins which now have to be approached in a round-aboway, and viewed from the east rim of the canyon, or reached by a hike dowTn to the bottom and up towards the west rim. This is something which should have been done years ago. And a move should have been made 40 years ago to preserve the old castle from vandals who have taken whatever they could find and left their initials scrawled on many a surface which would look much better without them. ut LOCAL NEWS NOTES . . was in Monticello Monday visiting with the John W.

April 3, 1960 With gusto from hibernation last weekend came a small band of golfers. A seasoned observer of the game seemed pleased with the quality of shotmaking made public. Why? Incredible things happened; sample: Milt Neilson laced a tee shot nearly into orbit: Gordon Wood uncorked a dandy wood shot from the fourth tee; Joe Cooper rallied on the ninth to match par on the hole; Lynn Adams putter gave a magic wand performance; Eddie Boyles surgeons touch around the greens lofted him to Low Scorer for the day; and unmasked Marvel O crisply hit onto the second green, made comic a slippery seven footer for the only sub par hole of the day.
