But as Grenville Kleiser said, Disappointments are inevitable. Do not expect every plan you make to carry through without a hitch. Accept your disappointments philosophically. I personally think its going to snow. Those darn weathercasters are the ones that fill you with gloom. Why, I have a calendar hanging over my desk that shows a beautiful snow scene and under the picture is a quote from the Bible, Job, chapter 37, verse six: For he saith to the snow. Be thou on the earth. It doesnt say which part of the earth, though, and Im sure those poor people in Ohio think they have had enough to take care of that admonition. I still think well get our share, even if it is now the end of January. A man named Stansifer once said, Dont be discouraged. It is often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Now, why dont you pull up that old easy chair and lets share some bright encouraging news about what our friends and neighbors have been doing the last few weeks. Vacation One of the most popular vacation spots this season appears to be a Caribbean Cruise. Among the latest group to go from this area were Dr. and Mrs. J. Gordon Felt, Mr. and Mrs. Farrell Jensen; Mr. and Mrs. Norman Grover, of this city; Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ward, Willard; Mrs. Howar Jorgenson, Brigham City and her brother-in-laand sister, Mr. and Mrs. C. Watson, Salt Lake City. Also on the cruise were a number of doctors and their wives from Ogden and Salt Lake. The cruise had been arranged by the Utah Academy of Family Practice. They flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they boarded the Greek Liner, Amerikanis. Cruising by night and touring by day, they visited the Dutch Island of Curocao, Caracus, Venezuela, the spice island of Grenada, Guadeloupe, St. Thomas and St. John. The weather was fantastic, Mrs. Felt said when I called her Tuesday. She said they arrived home in the snow and fog wearing their summer gear which did cause some strange stares as they got off the plane.

Thats Christmas Mrs. Edna Jeppsen is back in the routine at Intermountain school after a week holiday vacation she spent with her and daughter, Major and Mrs. R.D. (Shara Lee) Harrison and their children in Montgomery, Ala. When I heard about her trip, I just had to call and find out the details. I learned this was the first time in 16 years she had spent Christmas with her daughter and family. She told me what fun it had been to join in the Christmas activities of her grandchildren, who range in age from 10 months to 18 years.

HER FAVORITE North of lf son-in-la- rt the border Student notes differences Rachel Legare didnt expect the United States to be much different from Canada when she arrived as an exchange student with American Field Service,, but shes found many differences do exist, after all. Of course, being from the French-speakinprovince of Quebec has meant that the language is different for her. There the first language learn-- 1 ed and spoken is French, although students also learn English in school. So her name has ll always been pronounced instead of the Americanized version, and seldom is pronounced correctly. g Ra-she- Lee-gar-- Some of the difference is just between a large city and small town, between east and west, and her predominantly Catholic religion comparied with Mormon Utah. But differences also include the climate, school systems, family life, and many other factors. More mature years of age, Rachel is usually mistaken for much older. She attributes this to the fact that Utah families keep their children closer for a longer period, while Canadian young people usually have jobs and earn their own spending money by the time they are 16 years of age. Her poise, clothing, and speech all testify to this earlier independence. Because of this, she is very surprised at the young age at At 18 Brigham City's Police Department has a special citizens ingly added cooking, since Rachel has been trying out her culinary skills in the kitchen sometimes with success and sometimes with laughter from the family.
