It was a wonderful Peach Days, very likely the finest and most successful in the history of the event, and a world of credit is due . . . whom? It would be fun to have the complete list of names of all who contributed to the success of Peach Days. We dont mean just those who attended, essential as they are, but those who made some extra contribution, who devoted time and effort and plancelebration. ning: to the four-da- y First of all there would be the president and board of direand secretary-manage- r ctor of the Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of Peach Days, and with them the city council and mayor and the board of county commissioners. Then there would be the department heads and employes of the city government, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce committees in charge of Did you various phases of the celebration. notice how many special officers there were on the job during Peach Days, unraveling traffic jams before they got started, protecting life and limb and property? Taking care of that small phase of the celebration was a big job, one that made busy men out of Chief of Police Mac Robinette and his regular force. Did you notice how many special electric lines were up and in use during Peach Days. Orion Eskelsen and the power and light department had their hands full, too. Then there was the staff and cast of Rose Marie. That was a wonderful show and you dont achieve results like that in a short evenings work. Earl Madsen, county Centennial chairman, Harold Feit, Wayne Johnson, Marie Jeppson, Margurite Wassom, Gwen Limb and Miriam I Ate, Margaret Johnson, Ray Daines and George Craghead were and only a few of the workers who werent seen but whose hours upon hours of work showed in the final result, helped build up the total pleasure you derived trom the splendid chow. Then there was the cast and the orchestra, thse w ho performances you saw and applauded. There were a lot of rehearsal hours presented in that show'. But that was only one of the Peach Days shows. A large committee of Jaycees and Jayce-ette- s under the direction of Dan Frodsham and Mrs. Gordon Felt put in a lot of hours preparing for the Peach Queen Coronation ball, and conducting the contest for Peach Queen. The Peach Queen contestants themselves gave a lot of their time to lend glamour to the celebration, and their sponsors cheerfully footed the bill and were happy to rs' behind-the-scen- es contribute valued assistance to the success of this phase of Peach Days. And there were four more big shows, free to all Peach Day visitors, that were the The hobby backbone of the celebration: displays in the windows of the business houses, the llower show conducted by the Relief societies of Noith and South Box El-- l r stakes, the traditional and deservedly famous peach displays, and the parade. How many people how many hundreds of do you estimate helped out with people these? Try, in your mind, to compute the mu n her of (and woman-hours- ) represented in the parade alone ! The bands, the diivers, those who rode on floats, the school children on their decorated bikes and with their miniature floats and bright costumes (and the work of their mothers!) arid the hours upon hours contributed by the Boat committees of just about every organization in Box Elder county! 'there were the merchants who cleared out their windows and gave the use of them for the hobby display, and the collectors and craftsmen who entered the displays. There were those who carefully brought along their flowers so that they would be in full and glorious bloom tor the Peach Days display, and the women who managed the flower show itself. There was, as ever, a lot of work behind the attractive peach display on the court house lawn that establishes trmtheme of Peach Days. There wras the air show, and the fliers who risked their necks giving thrills to the large crowd. And those who managed and performed on the downtown program, and those who spoke at the reviewing stand speaking program, those who had charge of looking alter and entertaining the visiting dignitaries, and Walt Manns incomparable job of announcing the parade, and otner events. There were a lot of people who ran concessions and who shined up the town and had everything and festive looking for Peach Days. And there were local people who took things back and put things away and cleaned things up after Peach Days. orr Have you kept count? Of course you havent. Probably no one could compile a complete list the names of all of the people of brigham City and Box Elder county who helped put on Peach Days, who contributed to its amazing success, whose efforts were essential to the effectiveness of the celebration as a wholt. But our town and county are grateful to you, all of you, for another celebration in the glorious tradition, for a Centennial show that fulfilled and crowned the proud history of Peach Days! man-hou- rs spic-and-sp- Busy Season If summer has its lazy, easy-goin- g days, We're Not Very Testimoniol-Givi- n Logan, it seems to me from what in the papers, is the teatimarial-givitown I ever saw.

Im referrin to civic testimonial dinners got up by a few of the leading citizens who meet on a street corner and get to talkin and fipally one of em says, ' Say, fellahs, you know old John Jones has done quite a bit for the town. He served as mayor a term or two, and helped build the power plant, and got a lot done on the city park, and hes always been right up there ready to help on Peach Days or on any other promotion, hes been a faithful church worker, and hes always ready to work on any campaign that comes along. Seems like as how we ought to be pretty grateful for what hes done for our little ole town. Why dont we get up a testimonial dinner for him?" So they get some tickets printed, and line up a hall and get the Relief society or somebody to cook a banquet, and appoint a committee to start digging out the good things ole John Jones has done for the town through the years, and maybe a few jokes about John jokes on him, or jokes hes pulled on somebody else to liven up the occasion. So the dinner comes off, and everybodys n fund-rais- many more years, anyway with some on it that means more to ole John than all the watches in the world. And a lot "oT things are said to John, in behalf of his and ole John choked up to too his tears in and gets eyes respond with much. And the funny thing about it is, its all true. Everything nice thats said to ole John and about ole John is true. Hes sven better than any one of them can say he is. Hes done more for the town than all of them together can remember. And they all realize it and know it. And for a couple hours, during the testimonial dinner, every-ood- y is thinking about the good Johns done, what hes accomplished, what hes given of his own time and money and energy and .hought to the town he loves. The town that he finally discovers loves him, too, and appreciates what hes done. ere busy over here. We Sure, I know. dont have time to be cooking up testimonial dinners. But our hypothetical ole John nas been busy all his life really too busy to (top his own work and spend hours and days and a total of months and years working, without pay or appreciation, for the betterment of the town. I dont know much about Brigham Citys past, but I could give you a list of 50 solid citizens who deserve testimonial dinners, at Nellie .he very least.

Rushed to Hollywood via air express last Saturday night, these pictures, complete with sound and music score, will be back in Brigham City for showing at the Roxy theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as an added attraction with the regularly scheduled attractions.

She never quite approves the way her hands look, and blames it on the work she has to do.

Heres how Big A. L. Beck, Director Box Elder County of Public Welfare i a stone. a social worker, it is my belief that the relationships between parents and their children should be vested with just that kind of tolerance and understanding, for there is no single thing a child needs more than the sense of security that comes that his from the knowledge and parents will understand love him, no matter what mistakes he might make as he meets life's problems. Parental love, which is conditional, cannot fail to destroy that sense of security, which is the most vital element in the emotional growth of a child. Psychiatrists and other students of human behavior, are saying repeatedly that well adjusted adults are the products of unconditional and understanding parental love during their childhood- Some time ago, a young unmarried girl from the midwest ran away from home and was living in this community with a soldier. Under considerable emotional pressure, this girl came to the welfare office for advise and counsel. She had already developed considerable guilty feelings because of her delinquency and was quite unhappy. She was afraid to return home, however, because she feared her parents would not understand her and would severely punish her for the mistake she had made. The child welfare worker convinced the girl that her parents would quite likely welcome her home with open arms and persuaded her to return to them. Unfortunately, the girgs fears Were correct for the parents, who had been notified of her return, did not even meet her at the station. Several wepks later the girl wrote to the office and said she was going to run aw'ay again because she could As that the average American is five feet, nine will become a part of a regular Paramount news reel that will be shown in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Logan and not stand the wntinUll remarks and accusing her parents.
