Why cant we fully take vivid delight in the beauty and variety of our environment and our relationships until we lose what we have? Why "Man is that he might have joy. This oft quoted phrase ideally sounds so good but seems to be such an elusive goal for so many of Gods children. In this world of so many unhappy things it hardly seems appropriate to think that man should have joy, that he is entitled to it, that he has earned it in some way. But it was said for a purpose, something to strive towards. Striving, I believe, is the key to reaching this goal. In fact I dont believe it should really be a goal, it is in the striving that vte find joy. So in our striving we are able to accomplish small triumphants, small things that seem to go right. But when it seems that so many dreams are frustrated, plans have to be changed or cancelled, we dont get what we feel we should have, and nothing seems to go right, then the phrase appears to be such a mockery. However, in quiet reflection one sometimes will suddenly a get flash of illumination and it will come, I am happy, more good things are happening than bad. Our lives will seemingly burst with good. A long awaited plan comes to fruition, we have a beautiful day, or a loved one does something that absolutely thrills us. Oh what joy, what pure, is it so hard to be vitally alive each day? How far from sleep from death is the sphere in which we often languidly move? Are we aware of how we spend the fleeting days? Who was the last person we tenderly touched? When was the last time we smiled at a stranger just because we saw him as a human being? When did we last pray earnestly-tn- en stay on our knees responding to His comfort and inspiration? Do we see and hear? Is the person on the elevator with us sad or happy? Is the child we just passed on the road lost? Does the person phoning us on a routine assignment need something, tangible, or intangible, we can offer? My friend who lost the use of his limbs said, If only Id known with the first twinge of pain how rapidly this disease would progress, I doubt if Id have taken time to sleep. have spent my time in the fields and hills, Id enjoying the sheer pleasure of running. Helen Keller wrote Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be striken blind; hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never And smell or taste again. perhaps we should reach out with love to everyone, as if it would be our last Senator Jake Gam Receives Freedoms A ward Foundation CHARLES(CHICK) Senator Jake Garn WASHINGTON, D.C.-U- .S. received the Freedoms Foundation Honor Award this week, in recognition of his published article on the dangers of SALT II. Because Garn had a longterm commitment to attend the Salt Lake County Republican Party Dinner in Salt Lake City on February 22, he was presented the award that night in the Hotel Utah Grand Ballroom by Elder Russell Ballard, a senior official in the Mormon Church and a director of the Freedoms Foundation. Garn will be the keynote speaker, with Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep. Dan Marriot also on the program. Garns wife, Kathleen, represented the Senator at the Foundations annual award ceremony in Valley Forge, Pa. on Friday. Paris Announces Candidacy for S.L.

That tremendous feeling that comes from the very core of our beings seems to spring out of us in so many ways. The step is livelier, the smile a permanent facial expression, the eyes clear and twinkling, our speech full of the joy we feel. People around us find the mood infectious or shake their heads in disbelief. No matter, you feel absolutely good and it shows. Perhaps we do need to have opposites in all things. If there were not sadness we wouldnt know that exquisitive opposite, joy! Oh how we need to feel that in order to give some order to our lives. We need to know that our actions do count for something, that our very existence has meaning. JOY Such a short, little word but one that holds so much. How grateful I am to be able to feel it, to express its magical quality, and to recognize its effect in my life. j Charles (Chick) Paris claims ! The award was made to Garn for his article on SALT II which warned that the Soviet Union had achieved strategic superiority since the signing of SALT i by outspending the United States in the development of weapons systems. Garn said the United States should give careful consideration to the benefits or disadvantages that would result from the signing of SALT II. This marks the 31st year that the Freedoms Foundation presented awards to individual or organizations who in some way advanced an appreciation or understanding of freedom. Awards are selected from nominations made by the general public, and judged by an independent panel of state Supreme Court Justices and officers from civic and patriotic groups. The chairman of the awards jury was the Hoh. Frank Celebrezze, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Ohio. Other award winners this year are actor James Stewart, Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, and singer John Denver. In previous years award winners have included John Wayne, Hubert Humphrey, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Helen Hayes, George Forman, and Lowell Thomas. The name of: Steven Braifhwaite 4512 W, 5570 S.

Magna, Utah (EXPIRES MONDAY, MAR. 3 : He said it is no wonder that almost county government is not responsive to the majority wishes of county citizens and thus he is running for a county commissioner spot in the fall election. The announcement came at a reception held for Paris in Salt Lake City Wednesday night, February 20. j: COPPER PRINTING COMPANY PARIS The Salt Lake County ambulance service will not be phased out but rather expanded under his authority. He promises to maintain a second office out in the county where he can be contacted by the people without the inconvenience of city driving and parking. He will have an open door policy, his home phone number will be listed in the directory and he will be directly assessible to the public. He said none of the present commissioners have listed phone num- bers. Serving as a county commissioner is a 24 hour a day, seven day a week responsibility, not a 40 hour per week job, he said. Activities Mr. Paris has been involved with include past State Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, National Youth Activities Chairman for the V.F.W., the Amatuer Athletics Union Boxing Chairman for Utah, Board Member of Rocky Mountain Golden Gloves, member of the Magna Chamber of Commerce, Elks Lodge No. 85, International Footprinters Association, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Aerie No. 67, American Legion Post 132 and he's serving a second term as a Trustee on the Board of the Magna Water Improvement District. and Sewer Ski Challenge, Americas fastest-growin- g amateur competition.
