One which people all from religious denominations celebrate the first immigration of the once hated Mormons. For out of staters, the celebration is somewhat peculiar. At first, they become confused at the various labels given to the celebration. They hear foomoirei Pioneer Days, Days of 47, or just simply, The 24th of July! This year was no different from any other year here in Utah. The festivities were well planned, well organized, and well Out of staters enjoyed! are treated with traditional rodeos, a featured parade, both of which are looked forward to by most all Ogden area residents. Also included in this years festivities, to name two for instance, was an open air concert by the famed Utah Symphony in which thousands of locals attended. The crowd was pleased with fireworks that accompanied the crowd rousing music of the Symphony. Before this, Boyd K. Packer, a General Authority of the LDS Church was teaiured at the Dee Events Center for an inspiring talk on the Mormon pioneers. These and many other events throughout the week were all well attended and all were planned and executed by some hardworking people. These dedicated people deserve our appreciation and thanks. All in all. the success of the celebration makes us ponder the statement quoted as Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake Valley for the first time. He looked out across the valley and sturdily said This is the place failures, our trials and happy times, we find that we have grown from all our experiences here in Utah and we can truly say; This WAS the right place.

With gas prices rising steadily, motorists will have to but an adjustment does not adjust their lifestyles necessarily mean a diminishing of quality. Well just have to plan our driving carefully and include considerations of gasoline prices and availability in almost everything we do. For instance, motorists will need to consolidate driving trips to save money and gasoline. Several errands should be run in one trip rather than in several small trips. Shopping trips can be included in the regular commuting trip to save time and money. Grocery shopping should be planned so that emergency excursions to the store for a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk are eliminated. Those trips are wasteful even if the distance is short because your car engine doesnt operate efficiently until youve been driving about 15 minutes. Your car burns about 20 percent more fuel when the engine is cold. The average short trip with a cold engine costs about 81 -nearly the cost of the milk or bread. When you consider that you spend as much on gasoline as you pay for the bread or milk, those convenient trips become less and' less attractive. Try visiting the neighborhood store rather than making the long trek to a shopping center. The sale at the shopping center might not be a bargain if you spend $2 or $3 in gasoline to save 81 at the shopping center sale. With highr gasoline prices, it will be necessary to make these gas price considerations before driving anywhere. Another wav to curb trips is to shop with a friend or neighbor. Use one car instead of two. Youll have more fun and save gasoline, too. Shop by mail or telephone. When you want a particular item, telephone ahead to make sure the store you plan to visit has the item you want. Dont waste time and gasoline by driving to several stores that dont carry the merchandise . you want. when traffic is Try running your errands during o not so congested. Rush hour, traffic wastes gasoline. Ride the bus whenever you can. Make the switch to car .pooling. Many daily commuters prefer it. You can save between 8300 and $1000 a year in gasoline costs and save hundreds of gallons of gasoline. Car pooling will also provide you with companionship and fun Thought of tho week A banker will lend you money if you can prove that ys.a do r.ot need it. dDdbir - off-hou- stop-and-g- while commuting.
