Soroptomists Deliver Fruit Boxes Members of the Brigham City chapter of Soroptomists club visited 153 local residents over 80 years of age on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 17, delivering boxes of fresh fruit and socializing. The annual visitation project of the club is one looked forward to each year by many local residents, with the club having delivered boxes of homemade cookies in the past and changing to fruit this year. Members donated the fruit and some local stores helped out with boxes, which the members gathered to pack and decorate on Sunday afternoon in the senior citizens center at the Community Center. The Soroptomists club was the first booster and sponsor of organized Senior Citizen programs in the community other than those which are church oriented. The list of older residents was compiled primarily through contacting the communitys churches, with some other residents Society Editor's SCRATCH PAD A little boy's room is a source of wonder expecially wondering what will be encountered when cleaning under beds, putting away clean clothing, or performing a secret cleaning job on the toybox during school hours. The Editors have a room that is a double-wondefor it houses two boys aged nine and ten and is the haven for all sorts of . produce some semblance of order in the morning. Saturday morning is supposed to find rooms completely cleaned, and withholding of the weekly allowance can be the result of a messy room. Close inspection is sometimes merited, however, to make sure that the mess hasnt ended up underneath beds or all stuffed into the toybox in the closet. f Little Miss sometimes goes on a neatness mania when her brothers aren't at home and is very helpful in straightening their desks and dresser tops to added through perknowledge of club sonal members and the city programs.

They then begin counting their possessions and putting them in disarray as soon as possible. Mrs. Society Editor . All things that are, are with more spirit chased than enShakespeare joyed. Thats about the way I feel about Christmas. As it draws nearer to the day I am beginning to wish it were all over. I could hardly wait to get the tree up and sorry to say I am beginning to look forward to the time when we can have that corner again minus the tree. Oh its still fun to think about what I may find under the tree but somehow the older you get the less interest you have in the present giving part of Christmas. Then too, I usually find myself in the red budgetwise. Why cant we remember the words of Ben Franklin who always urged thrift and said Ere you consult fancy, consult your purse. Of course its a little late to preach economy, if youre like me you already have the presents wrapped and waiting and if you went overboard as most of us do you can always make a New Years resolution not to do it next year and then forget about it when Christmas again rolls around. I just hope youve arranged your time so you can enjoy these next few days instead of finding yourself on the mad d right up until 12 p.m. Sunday. Now I hope you have time to pull up that easy chair and chat awhile on Party Line. We have some big stork news and interesting party fare for you.

You see it was to tell her that there was a new little Osmond boy. The Tom Osmonds have a baby son, born on Saturday, Dec. 16. Mrs. likes to make them feel that they keep their own rooms clean, so doesnt ususally mention the fact that she sweeps and dusts on weekdays and cleans in corners and under beds. They don't usually notice she unless her efforts straightens things up too much. Finally, the relization must come to the mother of small boys that THEY think their room is in order when all their possessions are in full sight which must be just a matter of heredity based on hubby's workshop!

There are, for example, the souvenirs of everyday travels to school. They aren't as expensive or recognizable as bears from Yellowstone or banners from Disneyland, but are still sourvenirs of travels. There is a hunk of chain all welded together by rust being saved from explorations in the old chicken coop area traversed by homeward bound schoolboys, a round glass found on the same thing route, and some specially-marke- d bottlecaps that are evidently redeemable for some prize if enough are collected.
