And this was the way it was on Thursday of last week when genial Joe Parrish stopped in at the office for a brief chat. For many of our younger readers, Joe Parrish was Juab County Agent for several years in the late 1940s and was well liked by residents throughout the entire county. From here, he moved to Salt Lake county, and five or six years ago became one of the number of retired individuals. Joe was a big man at the time he lived here, but leg problems and his physician have forced him to drop some 35 or 40 pounds. Naturally, hes still the fellow we have to look up way up to, but his girth is somewhat on the slim side. It was mighty nice to have Joe drop in in years past we and chat a while were together on many occasions! Seems when one of us didnt have a problem to thresh out, the other did, and we had many gab fests over them. ever-increasi- e. gibson legible earlier this week was We love you" and a circle.

It was pretty good work ! reg They tell me that it doesnt pay to speed in the middle of the through Nephi-ev- en night. On a recent night, a speeder was clocked at 65 and wasn't overtaken and stopped until he was well north of the city limits.

We have noted some pretty fast traffic along the street not particularly going anyplace just moving well above the speed limits. Motorists should also be aware that theres a special school zone warning with the sign that says 20 miles per hour while flashing or words to that effect. Motorists should also be aware of and the school children crossing reg reg ... re- g- He is a fool who cannot be ang- Its beautiful weather and any day now the leaves in the canyons and on the mountain slopes will be changing hues from the varied shades of green to delicate pink and yellow and autumn will be here. We wonder greatly about the weather pattern. In a barber shop conversation the other day, Ronald Jarrett recalled the days of yore when the snow was deep so much so that often fence lines in the fields were obscured. Personally, Im old enough to recall some bad winters when the snow piled high on each side of the highway, and it was only a few years ago that we had floods and threats of floods from heavy snow packs. Right now, were not so much concerned about snow pack as we may become along about January or February, but wed sure like to see a right good drizzle for about 48 hours. Were sure that all of you have noted dust-lade- n whirl winds in the fields south and west of Nephi, on the ridge, and in Dog Valley. Its getting to be time for the wheat farmers to start sowing their crops, but it would take more faith than we have to sow those precious kernels in that dust. In no way would we want to ruin the weather for the Labor Day weekend nor would we want to give any crops that are being harvested an untimely soaking, but drizwe sure would like to see that zle any day now. Mr. Weatherman, see what you can do for us! And then, while youre scheduling storms, along about November 14, start laying in a good pack of snow so well be able to wash our faces and linens come next August.

Leamington readies annual celebration Something delightfully different! Thats the way officers of the Oak City Ward, official caterers for the annual Leamarado Day dinner, explained the menu for the noon-tim- e smorgasbord which will be a highlight of the annual Labor Day event at Lfemington. Everything from salad to hamburgers and from baked bean specialty dishes to cake and pie for desserts will be spread for the dinner, scheduled for 12 : 30 on Monday. According to Floyd Bradfield, spokesman for the Leamington Veterans Organization who are sponsors for the annual event, the celebration will begin with a program at the LDS ward chapel at 10:30 a.m., followed by the dinner at 12:30 and childrens sports at 2:30. The annual Leamarado Day rodeo wil begin at 3 p.m., and according to Sylvan Lovell, there will be plenty of young cowboys to compete for the honors in the rodeo arena. The stock is being furnished by the Circle J Rodeo company. When we say bring the gang and stay Bradfield said we mean to all day stay for the big Leamarado dance in the evening. The committee has secured the Moonlighters orchestra from Oak City to furnish the music for the dance. reg Heres a thought for you to ponder as the Primary election nears.
