Show f Brigham City, Utah 1969 31, Sunday, August 2 BOX ELDER NEWS, City Gives Approval Ills, Hades Letters to the Editor ... Her Liquor Licenses Wants Directory books from anywhere in the United States. I believe 50 a Brigham City phone book is cents, so why pay $2.50 if all that is wanted are names and addresses? Also, Concerned Citizen must not buy anything on credit. Name lists are sold of people who buy on credit or through mail order outfits of any sort, even if it is only sending for a cereal premium. I am at a loss to understand how knowing where from you work tells what hours you will be away home. People may not realize it but more information about your personal life can be obtained from the credit bureau than youll ever be able to get from this directory. I can see a lot more good than bad from having the directory. Many times I have wanted to call someone who I knew by first name but didnt know the husbands name or the address. In order for concerned citizen to be able to have the privacy desired, perhaps the whole family had better move to a cave. That, Im afraid, is the only way to achieve this goal. Never be around people. Never do anything newsworthy. Never have a phone. Never buy on credit and never receive any mail from anyone at all, because, of course, you simply must open all your mail and give it a thorough, attentive reading, no matter what the contents. Sincerely, Jeanne B. Wilson, 528 East Forest. sub-mitti- Editor: p An open letter to Mrs. Anonymous: You wrote a letter to the editor in the last edition of the Box Elder Journal concerning the Johnson Publishing company and our new city directory for Brigham City. I think you were misinformed and unduly concerned or you would not have written the letter you did. . I believe youll agree with me that if all the terrible things you forsaw could happen when a city directory is published there would be very few city directories published in the United States. Actually there are more than 2,000 separate directories coverin this ing more than 3,000 communities published country. In your state of Utah, 17 communities, large and small, have city directories. You forsee a flood of junk and pornographic mail. City directories are not used by direct mail companies. Our directories are used by companies that mail out coupons and by companies that conduct nationwide contests. Also we publish over 200 city directories in which we list children by their name and age. In none of these cities have we had any complaints. City directories have been published in this country since 1778. Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere were both listed in the city directories for their respective cities. Some of the largest and most infuential businesses in in Brigham City have already purchased advertising this directory. They would not have supported a worthwhile. publication unless they felt that it was The Johnson Publishing company, publishers ol for 39 your city directory, have been in business years. I started this company and am its president. I can assure you I would not have been in business this long if we did not publish directories that our communities can be proud of. Sincerely, Ken Erion, President, Johnson Publishing Co.

The youngster, premature at birth, was in Primary Childrens hospital for two months. AS A PACKAGE agency, the clubs will be able to sell liquor to their members in mini bottles or larger. At present they sell only beer. The council gave its endorsement Thursday after being informed that this was necessary before application could be made to the state. The law stipulates that before the state will consider an application, the local governing agency must give its consent. "After consulting with our attorneys, 1 would highly recommend to the coun-ci- l that you grant both requests, stated Mayor Olof Zundel.

It was a joyous occasion for his Mr. and Mrs. Doyle R. Checketts, 665 West Fifth North. You see, there par-etn- s, was some question during his brief existence that the youngster would ever go home. Shane Reed was a premature baby. He weighed only two pounds and 15 ounces when born at Cooley Memorial hospital on June 29. Mrs. Checketts, the former Virginia Cutler of Corlnne, recalled her reaction at first seeing him. "HE FRIGHTENED ME. You could see the bones In his hands and the skin was all wrinkled on his legs." The youngster became quite a celebrity when a helicopter arrived a few hours after birth .. to transport him to the Intensive premature unit at Primary Childrens hospital, Salt Lake City. The chopper came down on a parking lot across from the hospital and the Infant was transferred In a special, portable Incubator. IT SEEMS REALLY GOOD just really good to have him home. That first week was so critical; we didnt know whether we were ever going to said Mrs. Check, have him or not, etts. After six days at Primary Child-ren- s hospital, his weight dipped to Just two pounds and four ounces. more But then he began to gain than an ounce a day. And when he finally fattended up to four pounds, Mrs. Checketts who had been making several trips weekly and calling every day, was privileged to- hold and feed him.

He displayed adverse reports by the National Association of Broadcasters and the magazine, "Nations Cities. The council has received four cable TV franchise proposals in the past Hes a real good baby, smiled the mother with pride. He takes a regular milk formula, fortified with Iron to make sure he keeps piling on those ounces., An Interesting sidelight: A story with photos about the premature birth and chopper ride, carried In the July 3 Box Elder Journal, found its way into the office of a Texas physician. It was he who delivered Dr. August Jung, the medic who accompanied the baby on its flight to Salt Lake City. A patient of the Texas doctor was so impressed that he wrote a check for $100 to Primary Childrens hospital. It was a happy ending for everybody.
