Show BOX 2 ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah All right ... Thursday, October 16, 1975 whos got the ball? 'RACK Editorially Speaking ' Pitch-I- n nm ' campaign serves wide support The Brigham City Jaycees have taken on a project which merits a Pitch-I- n community support campaign to improve the appearance of this northern Utah city. The service club has designated Nov. 8 for the week-lon- g endeavor. Mayor Harold B. Felt and the city council have expressed their support and the citys annual fall cleanup will be in progress during this time. Ttie Jaycees are especially inviting participation by scout groups, clubs and church organizations, urging them to take on specific projects. 2-- JUDGING WILL take place on the final day of the campaign with awards to be presented in various catagories. All groups will receive a certificate of recognition. Groups taking part are encouraged to submit a description of their projects to Chairman Bob Schroe-dein 656 West 500 North, r, 723-700- 1, the near future. The project will make little headway, of course, unless it receives generous support across the com munity. Brigham City can take pride in its appearance. Weve won state and national recognition for achievements in beautification. However, much remains to be done. If you dont believe so, take a look around, sight in on some of the eyesores which are too common in all areas of town. Fences and deteriorating sheds and other buildings should be torn down or placed in a better state of repair. Lots and ditch banks are d and littered. Homes need painting. Yards can benefit from general cleanup. weed-infeste- MANY TIMES the owners of these properties are, due to expense or health, unable to handle the improvements. Thats when neighbors, fellow church members, clubs and other organizations can fill the gap. In doing so, theyll not only improve community appearance but lend to the spirit of helping one another. We commend the Jaycees for this undertaking and express hope that it will receive the active support it 10 Years Ago Oct. 7, 1965 GOP candidates picked to carry the Republican standard in this falls city election were Olof E.

Tens of thousands will be riding the ridges and hiking the Beehive state hills this weekend, seeking to bag a winters supply of venison.

To many Utahns it is the years most exciting unmatched by a tax happening to a Bermuda or a blue cut, trip ribbon at the county fair.

Its been over a month now since we had a near tragedy in Brigham City and we feel that wed like everyone to know the story behind what happened and why the tragedy was averted. Editor: Having been involved in a car accident recently which required the help of the local police, volunteer emergency squad, and passersby, I would like to pass on my comments of the services performed by these organizations and people. The first persons I remember after the accident occurred were two occupants of houses nearby. The women were calm, asked what they could do to help, and when given several requests, performed them quickly. One of these requests was to call my husband at work. He later told me he was given the information adequately and without undue alarm. The next person very quickly on the scene was officer Billy Jensen of the Brigham City police. He was calm, efficient, seemed to perceive all aspects of the accident and called for what help he needed; yet I observed compassion for those of us involved in the accident. (He stopped by the hospital later to check on my condition and reassure me about my daughter a service this writer feels was beyond that called for by duty.) Two ambulances arrived promptly after being called. I can only speak for Lee Packer and the two men who helped my daughter and me, but I assume that the two volunteers in the other ambulance performed as well. These men were competent, efficient, and sympathetic. They correctly diagnosed my daughter's injuries, put her in the correct apparatus in order to move her, stilled her alarm, and had us in the ambulance in a very short period of time. Hopefully, this will be my only experience requiring these particular services, and I have no way of knowing if all members of these organizations or all passersby perform as well; but I did want to tell other Brigham City residents that if these men and women are examples of their respective groups, then we can be assured of competent and sympathetic care in time of need. So, let me take this opportunity to thank these people they kept a traumatic experience from being completely devastating.

Hall Northern Utah UniServ Questions often cross my desk about which I can offer but a humble opinion. Some questions, however, can be answered by referring to law or expert opinion. On the morning of Sept. 5, my husband, Keith Winn, was electrocuted while working on a power line in the southwest part of town. He was severely burned on the hands and his heart was stopped. Had it not been for the fast action of many people, he wouldnt be alive today. We would like to express our most sincere thanks to these people. Thanks goes to Vernon Nielson, Leon Greer and Alan Wright for their unbelievable speed in removing Keith from the pole. Thanks to Lee Packer who, with his invaluable training, just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was so willing to get involved. And thanks to Alan Wright for assising Lee with the heart massage. Through the teamwork of these four men, Keiths heart was going again within two minutes from the time he was electrocuted. Thus there was no heart damage or brain damage whatsoever. Thanks to the men on the ambulance crew and our family physician, Otto Smith. To the other doctors who were present that day and to the staff at Cooley hospital. These people worked so diligently and with such concern in the emergency room. They are truly great and dedicated people. To all of these people listed above, how can we ever thank you enough for saving Keiths life? Words are so inadequate. The story doesnt end there, either. Thanks is due to the officers of the Brigham City Police department. They werent just cold, indifferent men in uniforms, but men who were sharing our grief with us and anxious to help in any way they could. Thanks goes to Mayor Harold Felt. Although Keith is just one of many city employees, Mayor Felt was right there to let us know he really cared and that we had his full support and that of the city council. And last but not least, thanks goes to all of the wonderful friends, neighbors, relatives and people whom we didn't even know until this time, who have visited, telephoned, sent cards, offered us every service imaginable and what not. It is really unbelievable. These people number in the hundreds and we appreciate each and every one of them so much. Wed like everyone to know just how great a city this is. A city in which everyone sticks together and gives one another the support they need to see them through trying times. Its great to live in a community where people really care. Thanks to you all.
