Show I t Willard Wrapup BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah 15 Thursday, July 10, 1975 Whoppin' good Fourth observed in Willard by Arlene Holden I am properly chastized. But does it help to say I have four good excuses ranging in age seven months to 10 years? Last week after advising everyone to fly the colors, I went off to the Fourth celebration without putting our flag out. So in pennance I have said remember the flag 40 times each morning. But I want you to know my red face is not all embarrassment. I did get a touch too much of the sun. You would think that as old as I am (yes, Ive just barely passed the mystic portal of 30 years into old age) Id know better. But I ran here and there all over the Square gathering the news for you and a beautiful case of sun stroke for me. The part I mind the worst is the raccoon, checkerboard effect see in the morror. The mosquito bites are not that much fun either. I Suggestions During the afternoon most of my friends made suggestions for relief and some even gave me some things. I figured there wasnt much I could do anyway, so Ive marked off squares and tried them all. Baby oil, baby lotion, canned milk, vinegar, baking soda dissolved in water, vitamin E oil and a sun burn spray have all been used. Oh yes, on the day of the burn I applied an ice pack to my neck for relief. If anyones interested let me know next week Ill let you in on the success.of all the remedies. But I do have one suggestion. If youre planning on getting a burn, wear something you can wash out at night and put on the next morning. Because thats what youll be wearing for the next week. Unless of course you turn nudie. Anyone who missed the movie on the Johnny Tremain evening of the third really missed a treat. We watched the story of the Boston Tea party unfold in Disneys beautiful style. There were some well-know- n beautiful speeches on the rights of man which really key noted the whole celebration. Drawings Held During the intermission, drawings were held. the Pat Williams won a bamboo curtain and Wayne Priebe won a grease gun. Immediately following the movie the second half of the drawing yielded Shanna Hall a grease gun and Debbie Zundel taking home the grand prize, a mix master. Beating even the dawn, a lovely breakfast was served to 270 hungry and sleepy-eye- d people. Then at 9:30 the flag was raised in front of the city building to the music of the Star Spangled Banner. It was most impressive. the running Providing commentary for the day was Jess Holden. He announced all the events as they came up and proved himself a good sport when he let himself be dunked in the dunking booth. In the church parking lot a group of youngsters were assembling for the annual Kiddie Parade. Promptly at 10, the 70 or so participants marched across the street, past the bowery and concession truck, turned left and received a box of cracker jacks at the backstop behind the fire station. There were baton twirlers, clowns, revolutionary figures, trikes, bikes, wagons and even a motorcycle pulling a lovely float. The kids enjoyed the fun and the parents all were appropriately proud. Foot Races races were held in the center of the Square. For the race little ones it was a and the track was extended for each age group up to 50 yards for the adults.

After the foot races the booths and rides were opened at 11:30. The concessions included bingo under the bowery, the ladder walk, the dunking booth where adults and children took a short swim, the giant water slide, the cable ride and the rockets for the little ones. The games included ring toss, sucker pull, dart throw, fish pond, baseball and football throw. The chicken scramble was a new feature on the baseball diamond. Pie in the face was also a new attraction. The highest bidder was given the opportunity to throw a whipped cream pie in the face of local celebrities. Besides the regular fare of hamburgers, and corn dogs drinks, homemade pies and ice cream were a favorite goodie. Footnote An exciting footnote was sounded when the siren went off and the fire engines responded to a fire in the back of the surplus store north of Willard. It was something to see all the volunteers head out for the fire house. All the kids on the Square took off to see the engines leave and proved a bigger hazard then the holiday traffic. Sheriff Art Redding stopped in for a hamburger and a drink and managed just by the skin of his teeth to escape a cold bath in the dunking booth. A lot of local boys were not so lucky. The pie eating contest was held under the bowery in the late afternoon. The contestants were Mel Dummar, Seth Thorpe, Doyle Koefed, Tolly Beames, Wally Tremelling, Steve Greer, Jess Tom Rose and Holden. The group put their hands behind their backs and attempted to eat the just thawed out cream pies. The men ended up with frozen mouths, cream on their eyebrows and chins. The happy winners are Tom Rose, Doyle Keofed and Mel Dummar. The kiters were late getting started up the mountain so they didn't jump until after the first baseball game. The Fireballs won out 18 to 2 over the Wildcats. Then the field was cleared and the target set out for the five kiters. 5 Jumped Off The five men jumped off the top of Rocky Ridge over looking Willard canyon after hiking eight miles through snow and mud. They call their sport hang gliding. Im afraid I call it crazy. They jump off a sheer peak and drop until they catch an updraft. Then they glide along the .air currents guiding themselves by swinging their body. The sport is very popular in Canada but is only just catching on in the United States. Their kites are made of an aluminum frame about 22 feet by 17 feet. It is covered with a dacron and nylon brightly covered cloth. It weighs between 35 and 40 pounds. Each one costs between $500 and $700. It folds up to a long 17 y2 feet for storage and transportation. Suspended from the center pole of the triangle shaped frame (technically called the standard rogallo shape) is a free swinging seat with a safety belt. It looks for all the world just like a childs swing. In front of the pilot is a statinary bar. By swinging their body in a different direction, they glide their fragile looking craft. A series of guy wires provide support and stability. John Morgan from Willard, Ivan Barker and Ralph Butler from North Ogden and Rick and Dave Brown from Bountiful were the gliders. They range in age from 20 to 27 years and have participated in the sport, the longest three years. Winner Landed The winner Dave Brown landed only 17 feet from the target. He stalled his kite 25 feet above the target and dumped it to land that close. He was presented with a prize of $50. He said afterwards, I thought I might have to land in that farm down the road. One of them told me, It's the most independent feeling Ive special recreation The baseball games resumed with the Lions pitted against the Tigers. The Lions beat 6 to 4. Then the young men on the Industrial league took the field. Those boys can really play ball. The seniors won 12 to 0 but it was quite a fast game after the Little League. Fireworks The fireworks were set off after it got dark enough and the children had their fill of sparklers. It was a beautiful display and even though one or two did land close to the ground, to my knowledge no one was hurt. The wind held off until after the fireworks, but seemed to feel that the lights on the field were a signal to really set up a blow. Then some smart aleck turned in a false alarm and the fire engines and the sirens and the wind all made everyone wish they were home getting ready for bed. But it really was some celebration. Thanks to all who helped make it a good birthday party. A weekend houseguest at the home of Madge and Eldon Watts was Mrs. Michael Borghoff (Adele) from Salt Lake. She spent three days with her parents and visited with old friends on the square at the big celebration. Our condolences to the family of Adelia Wilde who passed on last week. We make note of the emergency number for Willard is and south to the line the number to dial and state the nature of the trouble and the proper authorities will be dispatched. program allows the children to come outside and associate with a peer group, which many times is their only chance to be outside. These kids need to be as loved, important, understood and useful in community life as anyone else. We hope after this summer it won't stop there. When Janet tertainment. 0 Braegger, Laura Fike and Beverly Rasmussen. Men 24 Over asked if anyone had ever been hurt, they replied that several have been killed. Usually the beginners who try stunts without knowing what they are doing, are the ones who have problems. There is not a school nor is the sport regulated so they just teach each other and learn by doing. They have formed a club in Salt Lake City. They meet at the old airport terminal and call themselves Fellow Feather. They asked if I wanted to try it but I said. No, thanks. Ill keep both my feet on the ground. But it was fine, exciting en- ever had." they rode horses and viewed the workings of the farm.

'Veterans' gives wrong answer In the July 6 edition of the Box Elder News, it was erroneously reported in the Veterans Heres Your Answer feature that veterans discharged before Feb. 1, 1955 are not eligible for benefits from the GI Bill.
