Show MILLARD COUNT Y 'Xraem PROGRESS' ISt The founding of Fillmore Our words and actions arc the seed. What w ill the harvest be? When the pioneers came to Utah in 1847, they settled mostly in the Salt Lake Valley. In 1851. Bnuham Young decided to have the Capitol in a more central pait of Utah. Me chose Anson Call, from Sessions Settlement, (later named Bountiful) to select .10 stalward men and their families from that section of Utah, to found the new Capitol City. The soil near Bountiful was fertile, grew fruit ticcs and hountious crops. The families chosen really didn't want to leave but were so devoted to their leader that they never once rebelled against his orders. Anson Call was instructed to pick men of different professions. which would be needed to form a colony, since they would be entirely on their own. Among that number was my great grandfather. Chandler Holbrook. he did not bring his w ife and family w ith him, but had topes of returning to Bountiful after the new Capitol was founded. The only surveyor in the company, he was therefore ordered to bring his family to Fillmore early in the spring of 1857, much tohis disappointment. Chandler with his brother Joseph and sister Phoebe, were orphans w ho had been raised by their grandparents in Massachusetts. The three of them had married before joining the church, followir the body of the Church since its first exodus. Now for the first time, the three families were to be separated. Chandler believed with all his heart. I his was the Lord's will, since Brigham Young had asked him to go to Bountiful and get his family. Chandler and his family fitted into this plan for building Fillmore in another way other than being able to survey the town. He was raised on a farm and knew well how to plant and care for crops. Each head of the families of this isolated New Capitol, depended in a large measure on the knowledge each family had of how to get a livelihood from the soil. self-relia- '- 200YEARS THIS WEEK October 30. 1975, On Continental the Congress doubled the size of the fledgling American Navy by authorizing the addition of two more ships. (Congress has authorized the acquisition of the first two ships on October 13). The two new ships would carry as many as 20 and 36 guns respectively. In November. the brigs Andrew Doria and Cabot were purchased. Theplan to create an American b&vy did not pass Con- ; gress without opposition. Samud Chase told his fellow delegates. It is the maddest idea in the world, to think an American of building But it was obvious Fleet. to most Congressional delegates that America had to establish some sort of navy to intercept British military supply ships. Congress had earlier appointed a committee to prepare an estimate of the cost of fitting out four ships, and on October 30, committee chairman Silas Deane gave his report. Deane knew the project would face opposition because of its cost, so he argued that the prized would the ships capture would eventually more than pay for their cost. In the meantime, he said, a public subscription and issuance of new money could finance the project. Also, Deane and other members of the committee, mindful of the need for a concerted naval effort that would advance the American cause while at the same time helping American seamen who had been thrown out of work by the disruption of trade with England, argued that the navy would be of great benefit to America, saying, "At least len Thousand Seamen are throw'n out of employ in the Northern Colonics these with their and the various Owners, mechanics, dependant on this extensive branch of business cannot possibly long rest easy, in their present destisituation, tute. distressed their ships rotting and their families starving. ..Should private adventurers take up the matter, everyone will soon make his own laws and in a few years, no law will govern.. ...our own property will not be safe." Congress granted the appropriation and appointed a improvement, conservation, roadside beautification, garden therapy (helping the ill back to health by teaching them the mirades of plant life). The many other departments include flower Arrangement. Flower Shows, Indoor Gardening High School and Junior Gardeners, Historic Preservations. Environmental Control. Litter Control. The Rational Council has now included in her program 53 departments which concern our daily living.

Arizona were in Fillmore for a few days early this week, calling on friends and relatives. At Gussie Marshal's home they also got to visit with most of her family who were in town for the hunt. The Darlings lived in the Reno area lor some time before retiring and moving to Arizona. They used to annual visitors in her home town but this time it had been four years between trips. nurseries at the Capital Although the adult members of each family weie good gardeners.

' Later in 1858, when .Johnston's Army was marching toward Utah, Brigham sent James Starley, one of his expert miiscrvmen, to Fillmore supplied with choice trees, shrubs, seeds and cuttings carefully selected from his own garden. These were planted and watched over with tender care to make sure that they survived, just in case Johnstons Army dcstorvedall of the gardens in the Salt Lake vicinity. How well James Starley did his woik is testified to by Thomas Callister. Bishop of Fillmore in an article dated Oct. 12 1862. He told of potatoes weighing three pounds, apples 12 inches in circumference, and currants as large as cherries. No wonder Wells Starley is such an excellent gardener, having had such a grandfather. The fact that Fillmore produced such excellent gardeners probably accounts for the fact that Fillmore has the only garden dub south of Pleasant Grove. The Fillmore Garden dub has won moie cash awards than the combined awards of all of the other dubs in Fillmore. The National Council of State Garden Clubs, of which our Garden Club is a member, was organized in 1929, to promote and improve every phase of gardening, landscaping, Every life we touch is a garden, Waiting to grow a weed or a tree.

DISTKIBOTK ( HTI Hit Ear problems in dogs One of the most common problems dogs face during dry seasons is grass seeds, as foxtails, becoming stuck in their ears. Foxtails seem to have the ability to migrate from outside the ear to inside the ear canal. Usually a foxtail will cause considerable discomfort, that the dog will manifest by headshaking, scratching at his ear, possibly holding his head tilted to the side with the affected ear down. In a long standing condition the ear responds to the irritation by producing a lot of dark wax, which eventually makes a foul odor. Most dogs will not allow a close examination of an affected ear, and the foxtail is too deep in the canal to be seen with just a cursory exam. Many people will put a light mineral oil in the dogs ear, but most often this only compounds the problem. It reduces the initial irritation alright, but by so doing, it allows time for the foxtail to work deeper into the ear. Almost never does it wash the. irritant out of the ear. The second problem oil causes is that before the car can be examined when he dog is presented at a clinic, the oil must be swabbed out. In the process the foxtail may be pushed deeper into the ear. The deeper it is, the more danger there is of puncturing the eardrum trying to get it out. An untreated case can pose something of a danger to the dog. If left, the foxtail can possibly penetrate the eardrum or the side of the ear canal M III . . .
