(Nope, not, the Civil War!) The salesman said that to satisfy the new demands, calendar companies have gone to mobiles, and cubes. model has a white plastic A new body with round edges.

If there is one thing I dont want is a calendar with flowers. They give me artificial hay fever. Fishermen go for calendars that supposedly know when fish are biting. Even Hack Miller doesnt know that! Anyway, this salesman told me that calendars first came out as advertising gimmicks for companies late in the 19th Century. This year, more than 200 million calendars have printed for distribution in the United States. Where else can you get such important data at these been prices? highways. WINTER OFFICIAL Occupied with the business snow most at hand Utahns were too busy to notice that Tuesday was the first day of winter, according to the calendar. The season officially came to Utah at 11:36 p.m., shortly before Salt Lake City and vicinity was dusted with about .02 of an inch of new snow. Arrival of the winter solstice also signalled the shortest day of the year in the Northern nine hours and hemisphere 15 minutes of daylight. Blowing and drifting snow cut visability to 20 feet at Parleys Summit today, with motorists advised not to traverse the canyon except in emergency, and then only with snow tires or chains. ROAD CLOSED The Utah Highway Patrol announced at 10 a.m. that U.S. 40 in Strawberry Valley was officially closed because of drifting snow. 'While some eastbound motorists reached Heber City, they were stopped from traveling beyond that point. Westbound traffic was advised to stop at Duchesne. Scattered snowfalls were reported over most of the state during morning hours, but probability of more precipitation will decrease tonight and Wednesday to 10 per cent in northern Utah. Variable cloudiness will give way to clearing skies and colder temperatures tonight, with lows expected near 20 degrees. The clearing trend was also expected to extend as far south as St. George tonight, with a 20 per cent probability of snow in southern Utah See SNOW on Page B-- 7 bearing on proposed pay increases for Salt Lake County officers and employes will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the commission chambers, Room 404, A By HARTT WIXOM Utah needs a priority numbering system to evaluate the worth of its major natural rea University of sources, Utah biologist said today. The biologist, Df. N. S. Strickland, said such a system could assist governmental officials in drawing up the environmental impact report required for state projects federal funding. involving According to Robert Cahn of the Presidents Environmental Advisory Council the reports are now required under federal law, before the council will recommend federal funding for any project. AT SEMINAR Cahn recently explained the councils objectives in an environmental seminar at Columbia University in New York City. One of the problems of the environmental impact report is that governmental officials do not always know how to rate a particular area, stream or meadow, as in the Lake Tahoe area. Governmental officials are realizing the public wants preservation of esthetic values before it is too late, but it is a difficult thing to assess on paper. ITS PERPLEXING Cahn said that engineers are often concerned about retaining natural values in a particular area, but are perplexed about how to fit it into the slide rule. A system numbering would pose some problems, of course, Strickland said, because some things like feel- - not easily put into words. et we must set up some sort of guidelines so that when a highway, for example, is de- signed through a canyon we know what each major part of the canyon is worth.

The next few years ethers advertised their piPs, horse blankets, button shoes and fly swatters by giving away calendars. By 19Q3, pretty gins were standard calendars. The old Chicago and Alton Railway issued the famous 1903 fencing girl calendar. The gal daringly wore a fencing skirt that showed her ankles! Old fashioned calendars have' staged a modest comeback. It may stem from a desire among the people for a nostalgia for quieter, more sane and settled times. One popular model this year features nuggets of information that we can all do without.
