If you attended one of these sessions, you surely would have the impression that you were at an old thrashing bee, the old steam engine would be huffing and puffing; the teams of horses rearing to go, the crew men are there - so come on lets plan this show. Donnetta and Mary are not by themselves but helpers too are busy as little elves. The order of the meeting is called, so let's all settle down and get things discussed because its past sundown. The thrasher chugged on as the Hay was thrown in and out came some dust and chaff to your chin. Finally the grain on the seed trickled into the box, so lets move on without any lag. Now plans for this glorious fair are starting to take shape; there will be bottles of this and food stuff on plates. The flowers will be so beautifully displayed, the linen, the quilts and handicrafts too that have just been finished are carefully laid. Lets not forget the sports and the fun, there will be something to do and to see for everyone. The kids will enjoy the frog jump and scrabble and other things too. The ball games and contests are so exciting for all. Then comes the parade and rodeo at last gosh said Donnetta with a sigh and her big grin, we have our plans complete, some thick but not so thin. This calls for refreshments said Mary and Beth, so out came some sherbet with crackers before we all left. Now as for lyric or rhetoric, sonnet or rhythm, dont seem to remember much about them at this time. It has been a pleasure to work and to know, this fair planning committee, so come to our County Fair and Rodeo. Conference Continued from front page I was so interested in seeing the many television cameras set up. It was gratifying to see the respect these county officials from all over the United States paid the president. His sincerity was apparent and appreciated. We also had opportunity to hear from presidential hopefuls, Texas Governor John B. Connally, Representative John B. Anderson, Illinois, and Senator Howard Baker, Tennessee. After convention was over and by previous arrangement, 75 of our Utah group took a bus tour of Mormon church history places of interest, including sights in Independence, Liberty, Far in MisWest. souri, Old Nauvoo and Carthage in Illinois, then to Hannibal, Mo., Mark Twain's birthplace, for a riverboat trip on the Mississippi. All sights were memorable and enjoyable. Several things of interest not planned on this trip included that we got to see a historic dig at the site of the Old Joseph Smith store on Reorganized Church property in Nauvoo. were bones of humans were uncovered as a trench was being dug. Artifacts of what the archeologists there believe to date before Christ were found. Also we were invited to enjoy an evening program put on by missionaries at n Nauvoo. This was such a special and beneficial time for us. One we will always remember and appreciate. miles of line. 365 customers, and eight employees.
