These music groups, as well as others at Cyprus High, will participate in other holiday community events church and civic always cooperating to lend their talents. Santa greeted many youngsters and gave them treats. Whether laugning or crying, scared or otherwise, they all made their way to see him. A BEAUTIFUL PLEASES AND SANTA rode into the community in style-sitti- ng gaily atop a new model car from A1 Parker Ford Company. Santa Claus will be in Magna on December 21st at the Gem Theatre matinees for Webster and Magna Elementary School children. He will distribute treats and also stroll through Magna stores, greeting one and all. Previously, the boys and girls had enjoyed a show at the Gem Theatre and then lined Magna streets for over a mile awaiting the arrival of Kris Knngle.

'WE'RE A SPOILED country. Because water is always available at the mere twist of a handle, we take it for granted. But consider for a moment that since 1900 the amount of water each of us requires has almost doubled. Consider that we use billions of gallons more today than we did ten years ago. Consider that every water expert and every Water agency in the country predicts a crisis within two decades., We cant remain spoiled. Its time we woke up. Conserve as much water as you can.

To work faster than the erosion of time at erasing such a formidable international figure is a task that defies the imagination of a Barnum. Lenin, who appeared in a number of paintings with Stalin, who is now painted out, has taken on a look of com' plete idiocy as he reads from his texts to a vacant chair, stands with his arm about the shoulders of a ghostly vacancy or stretches his arm to shake hands with an invisible apparition. To gain some inkling of just how difficult this task, we have but to imagine ourselves trying to rid this country of all references and memories of one of our own Someone like Abraham Lincoln, for instance. Can you imagine what it would be if we let our imagination stretch as tight as a Playtex on an elephant and said that Lincoln had been revealed as k Communist and charlatan who hadn't led, emancipated, or even been patriotic?

Huish reminded residents this week that early mailing of Christmas cards and gifts is the biggest single factor in getting everything delivered before the Yuletide. The local post office is looking for an increase in volume over last year record-settin- g pace. Already this year, money volume is running ahead of a year ago, he said. NATURALLY, tiie post office plans to expand it? facilities and to provide extra help during the Christmas rush. Postmaster Huish listed these suggestions for insuring that yule mail will arrive before Christmas . . and in good condition: Wrap gifts securely, be sure they are addressed clearly and correctly and mail all gifts and cards early. PERSONS who have articles of unusual size or bulk should check with the post office before attempting to mail them. And as an extra precaution against loss, Mr. Huish advised placing both a return address and the recipients address inside the carton or package before it is wrapped. He noted that first-clas- s postage is best for mailing Christmas cards. All cards sent by four-cepostage may include a personal handwritten message and will be forwarded or returned if such becomes necessary. Cards and gift packages going to most distant points should be mailed by Dec. 10, earlier if posnt - WILL ADVERTISE MAGNA Thus says Myron Bosh, vice president of the Magna Chamber of Commerce, left, as he stands in front of the huge sign just completed and sible. Granite District is well ahead of the state in preparations for an atomic war or other emergency, it was revealed this week. Contributing greatly to the civilian defense program is the districts central hot lunch kitchen at 3188 Eldredge Avenue (250 West), Salt Lake City. The Civilian Defense committee has been been aided greatly by district patrons and PTA groups. On Radiation Dr. Charles W. Mays, physics group leader, radiobiology division, University of Utah, and a district patron, is completing a survey to indicate the radiation protection of all 44 schools in the district. Assisting him in this program are Ray Lloyd, Chris Pickett, Burton Tew and Arlo Richard- son. Although this survey was not scheduled until next year by national and state CD leaders, the group had completed the survey of 32 schools and were working on the other 12, as of Wednesday. Good Food Program L. H. Bates, supervisor of the districts hot lunch program, indicated there is enough food stored in the kitchen and adjoining warehouses to deliver five days food to each of the schools. However, Mr. Bates hopes that some means of having this food stored in the schools can be arranged. He also hopes to make a change in the food to be stored in the schools and increase the central supply. He advocates storage of canned meats and fats, high vitamin foods and liquids in the schools enough for, five days. His plans are based upon reports which are made up annually showing the number of meals which will be needed at each of the schools. If the worst came before this phase of the final program can be placed into operation, the kitchen could, with a three to four hour warning, distribute the Christmas packages for local destination Should be mailed by Dec. 15, and local residents should plan to send cards for friends and relatives in this area at least a week before Christmas, food to all schools. ,, he said.

Brinton' and Raymond Thompson, has been appointed to work with Moroni L.

With him is Wes Haslam, refinery security superintendent. Cash awards totaling $379 were earned by two Magna men emby Kennecott Copper ployed Corporation. The grants were made to Tony Perfili of 3440 Rulon Street and F. E. Hanks, 2825 South 8950 West, for suggestions that will produce cash savings in the production of copper. Mr. Hanks suggested that flanges be installed on the inside of small pulleys on the roll floor at the Arthur concentrator. The flanges reduce damage to belts if they slip from pulleys. Estimated savings will be $930 annually. Mr. Hanks is now a foreman of fine crush grinding. His award was $323. Mr. Perfili received $147 for proposing a tower be constructed for security personnel near the silver refinery. This produces better surveillance of the area and a better use of manpower. Mr. Perfili is now a security supervisor at the refinery. He was awarded $147 for his suggestion. |
