We are getting a beautiful home on Beaver Dam Lake. We have been very lucky as we were able to sell our house here (Hartford) in about two hogan. weeks while many houses have been on the market for a couple of years and have not received an offer. It has been interesting to get the county news but the sad part has been to read of so many passing on. From the new names in the news, the county must be growing. After spending about forty San Juan County, it has years in been interesting for me to see the change in the schools.

Its a good feeling to arrive at school and be greeted by a friendly custodian who takes pre-ceed- pride in his work and one . ed who does everything possible to enhance learning opportunities for the children. I feel that Leo played a vital part in helping the school achieve its academic goal of 81 percent of the students scoring at or above grade level on the national standardized achievement test. Through him ;and his predecessors they have probably saved the tax payers millions of dollars in tutu ye building v needs. s Dr. Kenneth B.

It was in such a situation that I found myself the other day. I was driving along the streets of our fair city but in front of me, a pickup was going maddeningly slow and, of course, I was mumbling under my breath. But then I looked up, and in the back of that pickup were three pretty little Navajo girls. Two of them 'were paying no attention to me, but the smallest one waved at me shyly and gave me a disarmingly beautiful smile. Every little while shed repeat the procedure.
