THE JOURNAL STAMP OF APPROVAL FOR MAILMEN Without Country "Mothers Day Spirit Rooted In Religion NO MAN can really add anything new, yet it is a sweet pleasure for us to stand rever- ed teller of tall tales that made little eyes grow bigger, and bigger, till the eyelids got tired with the strain and then slowly fell like the curtain at a play. Another day was done. AS WE GROW UP, our Mother grows old. As we grow stronger, she grows weaker. She has brought us safely to maturity, and now her life begins to slow down like a planes propeller, revolving faintly before it finally stops. BUT THEN, when the snow ently before the old shrine and salute humanitys closest ap- proach to Heaven a good Mo- ther TIIE SPIRIT of Mothers Day is as natural as the clinging arms of a child. It is Not only that! spirit that has its roots a deep in religion; to be exact, in one of Gods Ten Commandments. Almighty God Himself is the One who decreed: Thou shalt honor thy Father and thy Mother EVERY HONEST MAN will go on seeing and loving the picture of Mother that he carries in the locket of his heart. Most likely his picture will be that of an energetic woman bustling around a busy kitchen, wearing an ample apron and flat shoes; but in that simple setting, Love shines like diamonds from her eyes. LOOKING BACK NOW, he knows that his Mother was with a smudge on its cheek, Wisdom with a wisp or two of straggling hair, and Sanctity under the halo of a dust-caShe was the financier who never heard of a budget, yet mysteriously made both ends meet like a magician. She was a first-ai- d attendant who never heard of a band-ai- d, but somehow could do just as well with a twist of bandage and a kiss.

Traffic gave him a wide berth as he staggered across the street without benefit of navigational aids. SPCA agent Raymond Minton, called by anxious householders, removed the headgear from the angry polecat without mishap, leading him to speculate that the animal was probably someone's surgically disarmed pet.

"A ,xwzr JV AM LET'S BE FAIR ABOUT WATER The water meter installation job is nearing completion in Kaysville. The west part of town is finished, and it is anticipated that the entire city will have meters installed by the end of this month. It is the opinion of city officials who are in charge of the water system that, once meters are being read, there will be more water in the storage reservoir than there has been for many years. As soon as people are paying for something, they are more careful not to waste it, and are likely to use culinary water only for the purposes set by the city council. Until meters are being read, it will be well tor all of us to be conservative about water. The water superintendent reports that he visits the storage reservoir early in the mornings, only to find the water level hasnt raised since the night before. The conclusion is obvious. With gardens in, and plants (other than flowers, lawns, etc.) needing water, some people around town are using culinary water to irrigate with. It is not fair to the majority of the townspeople for a few to use water in such an unlawful way. The councilmen, mayor, and superintendent have said that people who are apprehended misusing culinary water will be subject to a fine, and their water meters will start to be read before the rest of the town is ready for such readings. There is plenty of water, if we use it for the purpose we should. But, lets not be piggish. Not being caught using culinary water for irrigation doesnt make it any less a crime. Be a good neighbor, a good citizen, and look out for your own interests by using water right ! & ; o O m v "a 'v For top quality, buy Glenmore. It makes completely satisfying drinks.
