Mrs. Varellas said she saw flames in the living room when she walked up toward the front porch.

Several times Ive sworn That Tree was coming down the afternoon of the big day but the desire for a nap after eating far too much turkey and trimmings always seems to overcome the tree removal idea. And besides, someone always moans its still pretty. Bah, humbug! Theres certainly not a great deal of anticipation the day after Christmas. How can one look forward to dragging all that discarded wrapping paper, the boxes and the turkey bones out to the curb to await the trash collector? They are good for nothing except to remind us of what was and what wont return until a year from now.

Sister of Robert Leroy Parker, alias Butch Cassidy, Lula has had some problems with publishers since I last saw her in July of 1970. All attempts to get the book off the press have failed but she now foresees that My Brother, Butch Cassidy may make it from the printers. It will be too late for The union appears to be correct.

Burglars rlf New Years Day rolls around again been busy Saturday, a day for television and aspirin, reflection on (sorry about that) New Somebody was pretty busy last week.

Hutchinson, 22, of Ell Paso, Tex., is still listed in critical condition and is in intensive care at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake. Hutchinson was the driver of a car which struck the rear of a county front-en- d loader on Highways 50-- a mile east of Helper on Dec. 17. rlf I have a pet peeve about people who, when they tell you something good or constructive that a teenage or group of youngsters have done, will preface the story with something like, not all kids are bad, or heres something good you can write about kids for a change or we read so much bad news about teenagers, how about putting in something about all the good things they do. It seems to me this approach inadvertantly puts down all kids. We all know that there are good and bad kids, just like there are good and bad adults or good and bad anything. And no one needs to convince me that the decent kids far outnumber the other kind. Sometimes though, it is hard to convince people that this newspaper and most others devote a whole lot more space to "good news" about kids than to stories about their misdeeds.
