Commissioners agreed The drive to Fillmore was beautiful today, sun shining brightly and the valley surrounded by the rugRcd magnificent mountains. I have wondered for years how Bill could make that trip so often and so uncomplaining. Now I know. It is a very pleasant drive (with the exception of a few ice patches). 1 never tire of Millards mountains. And when I drive toward Fillmore the east mountains are in front of me and I ponder the history those mountains hold. 1 think about Walker's (or Wakaras) grave and the stories surrounding his death and burial and I wonder where it was Chief Kanosh's wife went to starve to death as her punishment for killing another wife. And I wonder what secrets are in those mountains yet to be learned and what secrets it holds wc will never know about. To my right is the magnificent Sugar Loaf, standing all alone like a sentry. So silent now it is hard to visualize as once a The most colorful volcano. sunsets I have seen have been behind Sugar Loaf. On the return trip if I am early enough, 1 have the house range to look at, Notch Peak, with its extreme vcni'-a- l face, Antelope, Marjum, Sway, Tatow and now Sugar Loaf is on my left. I am finding this driving time to be a good time to think and plan and plot as the only interruptions arc an occasional that if there is enougn funds in the poor and indigent fund at the dose of 1976 year a sum not to exceed $1,000.00 be paid to each hospital to help uncollectable in their In the event accounts. there isnt $2,000.00 in the fund then the remainder is to be divided equally between the two hospitals.

Whereupon the meeting adjourned. bird sunning on a pole or a covey of pheasants playing on the highway. hope the enjoyment of the driving doesnt wear off as I am going to be doing a lot of it. Also I must say I very much 1 appreciate the warm welcomes has have received. Everyone been so nice w ith their calls and greetings. Come to think of it I should have spent Sunday driving back and forth between Delta and Fillmore and visiting with the nice folk instead of how I spent I Sunday. To back track just a little on my story 1 must explain that house work and me are not the best of friends, in fact wc are hardly acquainted. I have used the excuse for years that I m not home enough (valid and true) but it goes deeper than that I hate it. Mostly because the best of efforts can be undone in 5 minutes by the 3 dogs, 3 cats. 2 kids and me who occupy the house and are basic slops and the topper is my appliances tak ; shifts being on strike. So what happened Sunday was a continuation of the strike my washer, dryer and plumbing have been on for the past two weeks. I think they strike just to prove to me that humans are not always the master of all situations superior or not. But Sunday 1 thought everything was fairly under control and it would be safe and recessary to get the wash done. y r Educators Inform ALA mombors Much useful information on activities at Millard High School was passed along to members of the American Legion Auxiliary at the Mon.
