Perry Pulse City Christmas party beckons by Mrs. Max Nelson Twas the week before Christmas and all through our town, people are hurrying and scurrying around. Theres last minute shopping, some sewing to do, and what could be more fun, a party or two. The gifts need to be wrapped; there's baking to be done, but lets not forget, a town party is store. Tomorrow afternoon, Dec. 20 at 12:45 p.m. at the Perry school a special Christmas activity is being planned for all Perry residents. This year the Perry town board and the PTA have joined together in their Christmas planning to make it something special for everyone from preschoolers to moms and dads and grandpa and grandma too. All residents of Perry are encouraged to be in attendance. There will be something to interest everyone. Singing some of the favorite Christmas carols will be the students of the school and followed at 1 p.m. will be a Christmas program presented by students of the Box Elder High school. in Santa Claus At 1:30 a special visitor will arrive, someone who is taking some time out from his busy schedule at the North Pole and is a favorite at this time of year. Santa Claus will be one hand to greet each one and maybe take a few last minute orders. The students will return to their classroom for their room parties, while Santa visits with and parents the and distributes their treats. He will then visit with the students and hear their wishes. Santa will return at 4 p.m. to the school to meet the teenagers on their way home from school. He doesnt want to miss anyone this year so plan on attending this activity. The plans have been arranged through town board member Robert Stack and PTA chairman, Mrs. Marilyn Lund. They many hours of into this afternoons program and deserve a lot of praise for their efforts. Three Mile Creek DUP met at the home of Captain Zina Petersen on Dec. 4. A large number of members and guests were in attendance to enjoy the lesson on the first Christmas events in Utah and Christmas traditions, given by Eva Young. Histories of many of the favorite carols were given and the group joined in to sing them. During the social hour those present exchanged gifts and have put preparations reminisced of their early Christmas and traditions they now carry on. Those present remembered activities of trimming their trees with pop com, strung cranberries and on special occasions lighting the candles on the tree. Bobsled rides to family and neighbors, and evenings of caroling were remembered. Many told of their family tradition of holding Christmas with family eve parties members and Santa arriving to distribute their gifts. Under Tree of Some remembered Christmas gifts found under their tree as a much needed new dress or new shoes, but only if they were needed. Many times a cookie, some candy or a fruit was the gift from Santa. While doing research on the town of Perry, I found the following tale of Christmas. "At Christmas time the children were as anxious for Santa Claus to come as they are today. They would hang up their stocking and would jump up early in the morning to see what Santa had left them. "They usually found a cupcake made of molasses, a doughnut, cookies cut in the shape of an animal, an apple, or for the girls a rag doli and the boys a little home made wagon. They were made by sawing the rounds from a log of wood for wheels, a cross piece through them for a axle and a stout stick for a tounge. They would make a box on it from the early saw mill. Sometimes a homemade sleigh would be found under the tree on Christmas morning. I cant help but think of the things our children receive for Christmas today. Im sure we still maintain the true spirit of Christmas in homes as they did in the pioneers day. The Perry First ward Beehive girls held a slumber party last Friday evening at the home of Jay Christensen. The girls enjoyed sleigh rides and carolling along with staying up most of the night. Those attending were Carolyn Nelson, Jan Christensen, Teresa Dickey, Janet Higgs, Shara Anderson, Wendy McNeely and Diane Davis. Special Wishes Special get well wishes goes to Floyd McFall who underwent surgery last Friday evening at the St. Benedict Hospital in Ogden. He is recovering in room 314 and we hope he will soon be home and well again. The Perry First ward Aaronic Priesthood and Young ladies spent the evening Tuesday night carolling and acting as a messenger of the bishopric in delivering a special treat throughout the ward. An old fashioned hay ride took them to each home and they then returned to the church for hot choclate and chili. During the past couple of weeks each of the organizations of the two Perry wards have held holiday parties. These parties each year seem to usher in the Christmas season and set that special holiday feeling that exists in Perry.

Questionaires for the 1974 Census of Agriculture will be mailed out by the Bureau of the Census the last of December. Farmers are asked to complete-threport forms and mail them back as soon as possible. Most Box Elder county farmers will receive the detailed report form being sent to farms with annual sales of $2,500 or more, Jensen said. Those farmers with sales below $2,500 will receive a short form which asks fewer details. In the last Census of Agriculture, held five years ago, nationally some 1.7 million farms with sales of $2,500 or more accounted for 98 percent of the total value of all farm products sold.

ASCS Typical Summary Typical summaries will include acres of individual crops cooperating harvested, acres irrigated, acres fertilized, number of tractors by type, number of regular hired workers, tons of dry and liquid fertilizer used, acres limed, acres on which chemicals were applied, inventory of cattle, hogs, and classes, and sheep by age-se- x total of contracts for production of crop and livestock items. Farmers who want more information about the 1974 census of Agriculture or help in filling out the report form should visit or call the county office, Jensen said. ASCS, along with other agencies of the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, is with the Census Bureau in providing information about the farm census. One farm of that cooperation is to help individual who farmers problems with have any the census questionnaire, he said. Census by mail allows farmers to complete reports at their convenience and to make use of farm business records. In the absence of records, best estimates are acceptable. As in every official census, all information collected will be kept strictly confidential; no fact will be revealed about any individual or farm. The Census Bureau tells us that the 1974 census of Agriculture can be expected to provide data never gathered before, and offer timeliness, comand accuracy, prehensiveness that will set a new precedent in the history of agriculture census taking, Jensen said. |
