Show lr BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, 16 I Utah spoiled by grandparents Grover and Eva Harper who were visiting. Although Mr. and Mrs. Harper have now returned to St. Thursday, April 7, 1977 Corinne Comments Country boy finds he likes the city And Drew said everybody did have a dog, some had fierce by Marlene M. Harper never met Elder Drew Bott before he went on his mission to the' city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. But Ive heard he was very quiet and reserved. He had certainly never done any public speaking before he left. Also he had always lived in the country. In Philadelphia, however, he experienced a different life style. He became a city boy. Elder Botts first impression of the city was overwhelming. He was lost. He said, I found it very difficult to get my directions of north and south as I stared at the blocks upon blocks of row houses. The whole town seemed to be made up of them. He described row houses as being several houses linked together or built side by side with common exterior walls and no yards, for one or two blocks. These homes were generally four stories high and about 12 feet wide. Elder Bott soon became very familiar with the third floor of row houses because one became his new home. He also began enjoying city life because there were always so many things to do. Something was always I Doberman pinchers. But Elder Bott had the distinct privilege of being bitten by a toy poodle. Children have always enjoyed following the elders, either to harass them or love them. Once in a while the bicycle-ridin- g elders would tell the kids who were following them from house to house, We are FBI agents. One afternoon they must have wished they were. Elder Bott and Elder Robertson were riding their bicycles up a local main road. When a red pickup with a man in his twenties drove along side of them and pulled out a revolver. He drove along side of the elders for some distance, until they came to a hill. He reached the top of the hill first and stopped. Then he waited for the bike riders to catch up. Fortunately a line of cars formed behind him and honked him on. It was a scarey experience even though the elders never saw him again. going on. Overcome Problem The irrational and irresponsible conduct of this young fellow understandably explains why it would be unwise to admit two strangers into your Phila- Background Music Every night when the elders were in bed they were serenaded by the constant background music of fire and police sirens. The crime rate was high, so the police were always on the prowl and they became familiar with the elders. In fact the police always knew where the Mormon elders were proselyting and all became good friends. Even with the fine policing, people in Philadelphia felt much safer having a dog. this problem by becoming public speakers. Corinnes quiet country boy presented programs on several radio stations. Drew Bott even starred in shows on local broadcasting stations. On TV the whole community would see the family home evening presentations and as a result invite the elders into their home. These programs which took one and a half months to produce were recorded for both English and Spanish speaking families. delphia home. However, the elders successfully overcame Willard Wrapup Organ classes display skills by Arlene Holden ' f During the birth, life and wake for poor old Granny as Judy, Maureen and I came to call our partnership, we each came to know and understand each other better. We had our duties and split the work as evenly as possible. Maureen's Ogden phone was kept busy each evening calling the produce houses, pop companies and goodie deliverymen. Judy scheduled the work shifts. Some weeks she had to change them two or three times before we got it down so the kids could make it to ball practices, and games, piano lessons, primary, mutual and Scout meetings. And the poor mothers had to have some time off with their husbands. I got to keep the books, argue with the bank and IRS and fall down lots. Its a fact that during the season I fell in an irrigation ditch, stepped on a cherry pit and threw my back out, fell off a loading dock and bruised my behind, got a ticket, and on the last day sprained my finger and had to wear a splint on the busiest day of the season. Counting House I decided it was best to count our deposit in the storage room every day and it was promptly dubbed the Counting House by my two nutty partners when they began singing Arlene was in the counting house, counting out her money, everytime I added up the days totals and headed for the back room. We had trouble with our name when people wanted to buy jam or asked to speak to Granny. After another one of my the kids and my partners threatened to buy me a white wig and rocking chair and set me out in the road as an advertisement. It was awfully hard for the girls to get used to the different varieties of everything. But they did very well until we got to the plums. When I heard Maureen tell a customer We have Damson, Red Hearts, Green Gage and Red and Yellow Potties (for Pottawatiamies) I decided it was time for labels on the baskets. mis-hpa- Still Talked And at the end of 12 weeks of work days, six day, praising each other, yelling at each others kids, comforting each other, bolstering each others depressions, we still talked to each other, loved each other and appreciated each others good qualities. And I for one think thats something very special. But if you want to know if were planning it again let me say this. Maureen has moved to Boise, Judy is expecting her sixth baby and Im just plain not nutty enough to try it alone. Last week the organ classes Another the highpoints Elder Botts mission took place one October day. It was when the bike riding elders were attempting a climb up hill just outside of Philly. Drews bicycle pedal broke. So the missionaries chained their bikes to a telephone pole and began first They sat near a fireplace and were waited on by girls wearing Dutch costumes with white aprons over pastel dresses and little turned up hats. In a Pennsylvania Dutch designed decore, the Jones sipped water and milk out of pint mason jars. It was quite a Dutch treat. Shopping in the Twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul was another interesting excursion. Later they drove along the lake shore and looked at the pretty and beautiful homes built right on the lakes. They took lots of pictures so we will all be able to enjoy some of their trip. Some other travelers who have returned to Corinne are Mr. and Mrs. Burt and Doris Shipley. They started the trip by going to Reno and on to California. then they went to Los Angeles, visiting relatives Ronald and Beulah Murphy. One morning the Shipleys had a breakfast of good Danish pastry in a quaint little Danish town called Solvang. The couple were also charmed by the Danish and German shops. The Shipleys enjoyed touring the Queen Mary ship at Long Beach, and being in the audience during the filming of The Price was Right was exciting. Then off they went to visit brother Max and Ruth Murphy baptized. Elder Bott spent one very interesting Fourth of July at Independence Hall. Drew said the story behind the signing of the Declaration really impressed him. And to sum up this country-city boys feeling about his historic Philadelphia experiences. He said, It really was neat, I never thought I would make it to Philadelphia. I thought it was a place you just heard about. Best Wishes Corinne sends in San Diego. Stayed In Yuma Homeward bound the Ship-ley- s stayed on night in Yuma. They also spent time with son Alan and Mary Joe Shipley and grandchild Monika. The very last night of the vacation was spent in Las Vegas. Burt and Doris didn't gamble enough to win anything, but at least they still had some money when they came home. Mrs. Lois Harper recently enjoyed a weeks visit with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Nels Johnson of Myton. The occasion for celebration was the return of The students in class 6A were Teri Ann Nelson, DeAnn Kunz-ler- , Monte Jo Karlinsey, Tina Chournos, Lorie Braegger and Julie Hubbard. We have long been a supporter of the school organ program. It gives these children an opportunity for music and development that they might not otherwise have. I would like to add my thanks to the two teachers Ruth Warren and Helen Jane Lemon for their time and effort in this worthwhile program. Its almost time for the The cubs and scouts will be coming around to your home selling tickets for $1 to this event on Saturday, May 7 in Brigham City. Attached to the ticket is a coupon for $1 off on a pizza at the Pizza Hut. So in actuality it doesnt cost you anything. Also 40 percent of the money is returned to the scout troop or cub scout pack in cash. The boys themselves win prizes for the amount of tickets sold. It works out that approximately 90 percent of the money is returned to boys and the troops. Scouting is a worthwhile effort and its good to know you are supporting these types of upbuilding organizations. Support the boys and the troops in your area. Parting shot: We took Grannys motto from an old issue of Readers Digest. We havent made enough to retire, or lost enough to quit. We hope to do one or another this week. And we finally did. a. .

They came from far and near to congratulate this fine couple and their family of three daughters and grandchildren and Waltz and dance music was played by the Ernie Jensen five piece orchestra from Farr West. His music was super and it made this occasion very special. A big hit of the evening was William A. Wood, a former of Corinnite and brother-in-lathe couple. He is an avid dancer and it was great to see him still going strong. Why watching him was such a treat was because on his next birthday, Will will be 90. Wood said, I wanted to have one good dance before its too late. During the intermission, a three-tierewedding cake, the bottom layer consisting of four large hearts was made and presented by their granddaughter, Mrs. Peggy Skein.

When the bishop announced at the Relief society meeting that Thursday evening, that they were honoring one of the great ladies present; Old Hattie looked around to see who it might be. What a surprise for her, when the bishop seated her in the red velvet chair and crowned her silver head with a silver crown.

A couple of months ago Mrs. Fillmore taught a lesson on choking and artificial respiration that helped save the Nicholas new babys life. Mr. and Mrs. Lee and Kris Nicholas brought home to sons Kelly and Clay a new brother, Stan. Stan was born at 1 March 20, when he weighed eight pounds and one ounce. Stan was healthy enough except he had lots of mucous which the doctors said he would grow out of. It was the mucous however which choked him when he was one week old. Frantic parents tried to dislodge the mucous as they drove over 90 miles an hour to the hospital. All the way they gave him artificial respiration, knowing six minutes or less without exygen results in death or brain damage. It worked. By the time he reached the hospital, Stan had started to revive. His mother said, "I am glad it worked. But I hope I never have to use it again! Stan T.
