Show I 18 BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Perry Pulse Brigham City, Utah Thursday, February 10, 1977 Safety topic of school meeting Corinne Comments by Mrs. Max Nelson Safety of elementary child- Corinne unlike Guatemala City by Marlene M. Harper Guenn Richardson Vellinga, wife and mother of two little girls, active in church and community, finds her life in Corinne somewhat quiet. Memories of an exciting teenage life were triggered this week when Guenns parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred and Mary Richardson, who reside in New Jersey, came to visit. Guenn had spent her high school years living in Guatemala. Her father was the president of the Foreign Insurance Co. over five Central American countries and he brought his wife, two daughters and two sons to live in Guatemala City. For entertainment, the Richardson family liked to climb Pacaya. Pacaya is an active volcano. And the family loved to watch it erupting. 1965-196- Camp Near Volcano One evening Mr. Richardson thought it would be fun to go camping a mile from the volcano. A canyon would separate Ihem from the lava overflow, it there has to be any. So the family grabbed their parkas and their newspapers which their dad mistakenly thought would make excellent blankets. At first, Guenn just thought the ground was hard. Then boom, boom, boom, Pacaya started erupting, vibrating, and shaking the ground. It was so hard, the ground literally hit Guenn and woke her up. This happened every five to 20 minutes. Guenn said, Between the erupting ground and cold newspapers, I had a miserable sleep. Another time the family climbed Pacaya to look down a new bubbling cone. As they were watching, Pacayas exploded throwing lava 60 yards from where they stood. That was a little too close for comfort. Not waiting to see what would happen next, they took the rugged jeep road which headed for home in Guatemala City. School life in Guatemala was different than in American schools. For example, public usually only went to third grade. And private schools didnt unify pupils. Out of a student population of 400, guess how many would attend a basketball game? Guenn said,, They would maybe have five spectators. schools No Dances Also they didnt have school dances, except for one formal a year. If you wanted to go to a party, it would be in a friends home. And it was usually dance pai ties. Since there were various curfews, you needed to have a ride home from a party. Besides, it was just not safe to walk at night. When Guenn wanted to visit her girlfriend in the next block theitvmaid would have to make sure she was safely inside the gate. All the homes had gates to protect the houses from rob- - bers. Even the poor homes had gates because Guenn felt that the poor also robbed the poor. Speaking of curfews, one night, their cute little maid was out too late and got arrested. The judge sid, I will let you off if you will go out on a date with contents, so it will stay nice and new. Mrs. Smith a former Corinne resident, visited many of her old Corinne friends Monday. Before returning home to Brigham City, she had dinner with John and Alta Craner. Mrs. Jan Rasmussen had a delightful baby shower at Mrs. Clyde Nelsons, Wednesday evening. It was attended by approximately 25 ladies, half of which are in the family way. It looks like Corinne will be growing in the next several months. For you gentlemen who have never been to a baby shower and are curious, this is what the ladies did. They played games. One was solving poems and rhymes. For instance, what is this famous saying? My Tea Hoax farm lady eggs Horns Crow. If you said, Might oaks from little acorns grow. You are right. Then Eilene asked questioned about the baby. Starting with what is the first thing baby learns to say? And ending with what is the first three things you want to teach the baby? The answer was responsibility, obedience and regularlity. Can you believe it, Jan Rasmussen, won for having the most correct answers. me. However, when Guenn was in grade 11, she needed a ride home from a dance party. She received one from the son of head of the whole Cuatemalian army. Roberto Monterroso, who was driving his own car, had his girlfriend and his body guard behind him in the back seat. Roberto said, he would be delighted to take Guenn home, if she held his machine gun between her feet. As they drove home, the long, hard, black gun rested between Guenns feet knees and legs, and she thought this experience is different. Took in Stride Life was different. There were always bombings, kidnappings and people disappearing. But you didnt really notice it. And you learned to take it for granted and in. your stride. Guenn said, its like driving in West Corinne. You could hit a cow. But who worries about hitting cows and cows jumping out in front of you? So for Guenn life is somewhat quieter in Corinne than it was in Guatemala. Cheri Harper will be giving her missionary farewell Mas-tero- Special Fast This Sunday the Corinne wards held a special fast meeting. They offered sincere prayers to temper the weather and gave thanks for the completion of their new Corinne chapel. Bishop Vern Wjlkins urged everyone to have respect for the .nice new building and new Because every Friday morning at 10 a.m. she goes to the story at the telling and Brigharrt Carnegie library. Last Friday morning the preschoolers had a very special guest, Mrs. Mary Petersen Reeder from Corinne, who is a retired lady dentist. She captivated parents, eight babies, 26 children with her colorful pictures and several sets of plaster of paris teeth. She gave all the children an Oreo to eat. Then the dentist showed them in the miror, how dark their, teeth looked all stained with food. She then gave one group of children some sugarless chewing gum. Another group ate carrots, celery and apples. And a third group drank clear water. She again handed the children the mirror which showed them multi-purpos- pre-scho- how much of the food particles had been cleaned off their teeth. Each child was given a picture, they had pasted on to take home. The picture was an ani- mated toothbrush and tooth Use us after paste saying, every meal."

Mrs. Phil Rasmussen, Jans mother-in-law- , gave Jan a baby bath full of baby things. One article of particular interest was a little toy pig. However, the pig wasnt for Jan or the baby, but for husband Dennis. Dennis raises prize pigs on the Rasmussen farm. During refreshments the mothers-to-b- e entered a lively discussion on determing the sex of baby. Several methods were mentioned. The one I thought was rather pecular goes something like: the month the baby is due spit into some draino. If the draino does nothing and just sits there, you are going to have a girl. But if the draino bubbles and fumes you will have a boy. After the refreshments the ladies gave Jan their sincerest sympathies or best wishes and left for home. Gentlemen, I dont know if all baby showers are quite like this. But this is how we honored ad- dress on Feb. 13, at 7:45 p.m. in the new Corinne chapel. She will enter the mission home Feb. 26, and later leave for Rochester, N.Y., where she will be serving a mission.

All friends and relatives are cordially invited. This week the Ezra Harper family have taken Cherri to St. George to spend some time with grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Harper. We all hope Cheri can adjust from the pleasant southern Utah weather to the harsh New York winter. Junior and Selma Yagi are proud of their twin sons who are serving missions. Both have been made zone leaders in their t Aareas and a week part ,from each other. But that seems to be the only real similarity in their missions. Elder Rick Yagi, is in Royal Oak, Mich., with the wind chill factor bringing the temperature down to 65 degrees below zero. Elder Randy Yagi is in New Zealand, laboring in summer weather. Both elders send best wishes to Corinnites. Cling Agnus ren as they travel to and from school" will be the topic of discussion toryght at the Perry schools Founders Day program beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the e school room. The program will be sponsored by the PTA with a panel comprised of city council, principal, teachers and PTA mem- - bers. There is a strong possibility that the majority of the students who are now riding the bus to school on both the east side and the west side of the highway will no longer have this service come fall. This problem is vital to all parents with children who are now attending school and who attend in the years to come. So all parents should be in attendance because the discussion made at this meeting will determine action to be taken for a bus in the future. Attend Funeral Gordon and Pauli Nelson and ' Jans dear baby-to-b- e.

Honeyville Hotline Elders to host dinner, dance by Ellen Cook a lot of discussion lately as to whether or not Honeyville really needs its Ihetc has been Elder David . . . L. Dickey farewell Sunday volunteer fire department. If you dont mind I would like to express a few of my own opinions on that matter. I feel that Honeyville, in a time of crisis, would be quite an isolated place. If a fire should happen to occur, we are just far to removed from either or Brigham City to get the immediate assistance needed in a situation such as this. Some people have argued that the fire department isnt really accomplishing anything. But as one town resident told me: Maybe the fire department doesnt do a lot, I hope they never have to. But if we got rid of them, the next time they might be needed at my house and I wouldnt want to take that chance. n Call comes to 19th ward elder David L. Dickey has been called to serve in the New York Rochester mission. He will speak Sunday Feb. 13, in the 19th ward at the South Box Elder stake center.
