H Yard of Month 7, p Dreams come true with letters to the ditor,,.W Editor, I cant remember ever reading a letter of complaint from a missionary or serviceman miles away from home, who had received the News and Journal for two years. Except for regular letters from parents and occassional letters from friends, the hometown news is about the closest we get to the little happenings that make Brigham City seem like home. There are reminders everywhere of the big happenings of a troubled world. And one feels quite helpless. Walter G. Mann, 639 East First North, was named chairman of the new Citizens Advisory council for the state of Utah, Friday In the state capltol, Mann assumes the post on the council, Initiated to smooth out the recent liquor legislation that advocates the sale of of liquor In establishments obtaining a license. mlni-bottl- Entries Sought Display An Invitation was extend, ing and antiques.

BOX Its like a feeling I experienced earlier this year, 21 just two months after the major national elections. But each of us in his own way brightens or blackens the big troubled world through his little daily deeds. We cant all be President Nixon, but we can all plant treees in a new park; voice our views in local decisions; support the local baseball team; keep an eve out for a stolen bike; and get flu shots so we dont infect everyone else. Maybe thats why I like the News and Journal. It reminds me Im one of you! And Im proud of that idea! Please discontinue my missionary subscription, as Ill soon be home. Sincerely, Elder Clyde R.

Hopefully, the flashers installed on Alternate U.S. 89 as a warning to truck drivers, will have the desired effect, to wit, convincing them to gear down those big rigs. It has been no less than miraculous thus far that lives havent been snuffed out at the busy inter : section. Certainly there have been some near misses. WE APPRECIATE efforts of the highway de-partment to meet the situation which at the outset ' promised trouble. At the same time, we have another suggestion to make: That serious consideration be given to reduce the multiplicity of signs on the south approach - to the intersection. The conglomeration of highway, city and com- mercial markers is not only confusing, its hazardous motorists challenged to know whats ahead. with i OVERHEAD SIGNS, the kind erected on inter-stat- e highways, should be installed as a means of direction to drivers. This will eliminate the need to compete with roadside markers. As stated before, the intersection, no matter how t designed, provides the setting for accidents since it is a distributor and collector point for all through ; traffic north of Ogden. in-- i Every reasonable step should be taken to crease the safety factor there. sub-scri- IN SECOND PLACE S 1 p $10 contest.
