Shes been sewing ever since she was a girl, and this year did her usual keeping up with the times by working with lots of blue jeans denim from cut-ualtering them into stylish hats, handbags, and even tow ties. Her denim sewing business began as she made levi hats for her grandsons last summer and then displayed some of them in a Peach Days window exhibit and the orders began coming in for personalized items as well as Christmas gifts. blva can't figure how many shes made since that date, but she has turned out many orders. Her customers provide their own old blue jeans, and she provides professional custom sewing to make items at a pride that undersells specialty shops. Mrs. Emma N. Keller of Brigham City was pleased to receive word that she is now a to a baby girl named Angela Jeanette Keller born on Dec. 9. The babys parents are Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Keller of Albuquerque, N.M. Proud first-tim- e grandparents are Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Keller of Logan and Dr. and Mrs. William C. Crockett of Salt Lake p Lot of Work Recycling the jeans is lots of work, trying to get patterns to fit the most usable pieces of the jeans and then quilting, and putting all the finishing touches on the items. She quilts the jean material onto pelon to stiffen it for handbags and then lines them with red, bandana or patchwork materials. Brimmed hats require rounds and rounds of topstitching to the pellon-linebrims, but Elva enjoys making the hats and each has its own creative touches. Al'hough she uses some standard commercial patterns, shes made her own for the boys hats and the ones for little children. Over 40 years ago she worked in a millinery shop, and that experience has helped in her knowledge of technique in turning out the attractive denim headwear. d Always Recycled has Elva recycled clothing for as long as she can remember, for she came from a family of eleven children and her job at home was to remake larger clothes into new styles for the younger children. When she lived in California, she and a sister used to go to exclusive children's stores and sketch the Shirley Temple dresses and then she would go home and make similar styles for her girls. For ten years she did alterations for clothing stores in Brigham City, and then went Actually, Questions By You And Your Friends Answers from Ray Malmrose , Ask Your QUESTION: When youre sure you have the same Thing another member of your family has been sick with isnt it then all right to use whats left of that persons prescription? ANSWER: The another using of persons prescription is a common practice which is growing increasingly dangerous because our new drugs are so much more powerful than those we dispensed only a few years ago. So, for your own sake, please do not consider using prescribed prescriptions for another person.

Her sewing table was decked with conventional ties and bowties in a variety of colors and designs, and some extraspecial velvet bowties for the holiday season were elegant in shades of maroon, greens, blue and black. Inside each of her conventional ties is the label handmade by Elva Garrett, and they're treasured gifts enjpyed by a lot of local men whose families have discovered her custom service. When asked how much time per week she spends on sewing, shes quick to reply that shes busy three mornings a week away from home plus adding an evening of bowling to her league. Its her morning recreation, and she loves it despite the fact that she really didnt get into it until she was a grandmother. Shes also taught course on a professional sewing tips for Relief Society and keeps active in that organization g At Holiday Time At holiday time, though, she says that she keeps busy at the sewing machine a large part of the day turning out special orders for friends Shes not one to advertise much, either, for most of her orders just come from word of mouth as one satisfied customer shows her order to friends and relatives. It was interesting to note that just 20 years ago Elva was interviewed about her sewing and had her picture in the Box Elder News, and shes dug up the article and tacked it next to newspaper clippings with pictures of items she will try to duplicate in next years sewing. Right now, though, with orders all picked up for the holidays Elva is going to relax a bit and then get to work on the IOUs she was giving to some of the grandchildren for their own special orders.

When I was a kid I used to make a long list of resolutions for each New Year but I long ago gave that up. One or two silent resolutions are the extent of my resolving now. I gave up compiling a list ever since I read A Cheerful Year Book by Frederick Lawrence He who Knowles who said, e breaks a resolution is a weakling. He who makes one is a fool. So I dont write them down anvmore. I prefer to believe the words of Hawes who said You may be whatever you resolve to be, and just do it silently.

The couple were here for Christmas with the McCullough family and will remain through Jan. 12 before returning home. The Christmas bells have ceased tolling, and the giftwrap has been crumpled and tossed away, and the best bows saved in a box for next years giftgiving and Christmastime. With the new year approaching, it would be nice to comtemplate the spirit of Christmas lasting throughout the coming year rather than being tossed away with the wrappinvs. Each year lots of folks make New Years Resolutions, most of which arent kept since they are so often superficial and silly. What if we made resolutions that really would change things, and then actually kept them? Christmas Spirit The Christmas spirit of giving to others, not just the family, but to strangers, is one that should be kept. It is just as awful for a family to be hungry and cold in February as it is in December; it is just as bad for an elderly person to be lonely and forgotten in April as in December; it is just as sad to think of a homeless child in September as in December. Yet most of us are more likely to open our pocketbooks, give our time, open our hearts, or offer assistance during the holiday season. Our Resolutions So lets resolve to do some worthwhile things in the coming year: 1) Resolve to see need around us throughout the year and offer whatever assistance we can, material or spiritual; 2) Resolve to visit, write letters, or telephone someone who l.ves alone just to let them know we care; 3) Resolve to help those who L D a r. aK just need a little bit like a walk shoveled, a yard mowed, a pile of stuff hauled to the dump, a ride to the doctor. 4) Resolve to be friendly and supportive of our family, as well as our friends, just as if each day might be their last on earth; 5) Resolve to do our best at home, in school, on the job and in the many outside efforts we are part of daily; 6) Resolve to be less wasteful to realize that too much food on our table takes it from another table, that clothes can last longer or can be given to a worthy cause when they no longer fit, that lots of the packaging and wrappings of our culture can be recycled for other purposes and used over agin. So often when we break a resolution once, especially one like dieting or quitting smoking or something we really didnt want to do much anyway, were inclined to say that its no use continuing, with the effort. The six resolutions will be broken as we continue in our busy, hectic existence, but they can be mended. Just because one week goes by without a visit to the lonely doesnt mean that another week has to continue the neglect; just because some harsh words slipped out doesnt mean they cant be corrected; just because the leftover got moldy instead of used doesnt mean we cant try a little harder to make the soup next time. Wouldnt it be a nicer place for everybody, if some would adopt similar resolutions and keep mending them all year? afore-mentione- d K you aiE coidiadg to u'leuj an outstanding (djjasakedx IEatuiing artists to oui LnuLkzd ex Wit ait cdit Sguia y iL add dJIiatcliEi, Q.. dootE , zMaiy dbtEEd, cfiuida Jl. dPocuEis, UagdEnE cdlicdfntosi, on diijitau. on disjiag untd Jan-uai- y EX Mil cui JlanE ttL 1, JQ75- - H3 ox dtdex dounty (Xfoux Cocatty oumzd.
