PLEASAN- T- To brate cele- National School Lunch Week, the North Sanpete School District will host "Take Your Family to Lunch" day, today Oct. 13. Parents, grandparents and community members arc encouraged to eat lunch at school with students. The day was proclaimed by Governor Mike Leavitt to encourage community members to become familiar with school food services. This will also introduce or remind community members of the new logo and theme for Child Nutrition Programs "Eat Right, Bee Bright". By eating right, children are better able to learn and there are fewer disciplinary problems. "By being well nourished and responsive to the educational environment, children are in a better position to develop into productive members of society," said Hank Winawer, assistant director of Child Nutrition Programs at the Utah State Office of Education. The "Eat Right, Bee Bright" campaign seeks to reach children, parents, child nutrition program administrators and the community at large. COPY 5 The objectives of the campaign are to increase participation in the Child Nutrition Programs, nutrition increase knowledge, educate parents about the benefits of good nutrition and encourage children to make better food choices. School lunch programs help students by making healthy eating choices available. In recent years, school lunch recipes have been modified to reduce fat, salt and sugar content. Students now have numerous menu choices, including a variety of entrees and salad, potato and the play in 1910. While making arrangements many memories of the old barbershop on Main Street were revealed by Dyches. His family moved from Salt Lake City to Wales in 1910. When he was a year old, they, moved to Moroni. His dad farmed during the day and bar-berat night. His barber shop was where the Post Office is now located. When he was in first grade, he had to sweep the floor and clean the spittoon before going to school. According to Joseph, it was a cute little shop, with a barber pole. There was a special sign with gold trim. It said "Credit makes enemies, let us be ed friends." The cabinets and frames were all hardwood. Bare light globes hung over each chair. The floor was wood and linoleum. Back then there were no cement sidewalks and it was hard to keep the floor clean so they used oil to gather the dirt when they swept. There was a round coal stove that kept it warm. After World War I, Rowland bought two used barrack stoves and they burned 24 hours. After that he got a shiny stove called Warm Morn- ing. There was an electric wire pasta bars. running through the shop for the Promoting nutrition as part of a one pair of electric clippers. comprehensive healthy lifestyle.

Antiseptic tablets dissolved in water were used to disinfect barber tools. His dad bought a full line of fixtures, enough for three barbers. There were two mirrors and three stations with full-leng- th mirrors. There was a bar that ran the full length of all of the mirrors. Dyches kept fancy boules of bay rum and witch hazel there. The customers would line up before dances to see how they , ' mirrors looked in the and comb their hair. Joseph shined many shoes when he was seven or eight years old. Some of the men wanted their shoes shined when they got on the dance floor. The proper shoe shine chair was a favorite spot for loafers. Dyches had one of the first bathtubs in town. On Saturday night the workers building the sugar factory and many others bath. would line up for a two-b- it The water was heated with a monkey stove. Josephs mother laundered the towels with a scrub board and boiled them in a boiler on the stove to get them white. Later when his mothers health was poor, they hired Rea Aames to do the laundry, who-se- s mother also worked because her father was killed in the mine. Then, the women were glad to work and would for fifty cents a day. Vicene Peterson was also hired, and is still living in Salt Lake City. Later on, Leah, Josephs wife washed the towels with a washer that had a handle that she pulled by hand to turn the agitator. There was a lot of laundry to do because they used a steam towel to soften the beard for a shave. It was not good if a barbers didnt keep , tools disinfected. There was the old barbers itch, as it used to be called, which was ringworm. It could cover the entire beard region in a couple of weeks. It could go through a whole ball team just because a barber would use a dirty towel. Joseph stated that it could ruin the business if something like that got started. To shave, which took longer than cutting hair, they used a straight edge. Customers got a shave with free witch hazel for full-leng- th the piano." After they left Dyches would say, "I know he doesnt have a piano. Another line they would use was "Write it on the cuff," and the barber would sound mad and say, "Ill cuff you" and then laugh. About the most barbers got for a haircut was 50 cents. Dyches had four milk cows and would take hay, eggs and chickens for pay, people didnt have much then. A steady customer would get free hair oil and Three Roses hair tonic. It was said that it would grow hair on a billiard ball. Dyches would buy it in gallon bottle refills for $3.00. They traveled to Salt Lake City every two months to get supplies, and would stay overnight. The tires were small and if they went flat it took quite a while to fix. There werent any service stations along the way so they took a lug wrench, two tire irons, and a hand pump to inflate the tires back up. Business hours were mostly at night in the summer because the farmers didnt get out of the fields until dark, then there was the milking and the separating to be done. Barbering went on until 10, 11, or sometimes 12 p.m. Dyches didnt have a cash register. He kept his money in a bag and packed it back and forth r- - - to work. He had it full of change. That was his bank. Customers would buy lotions and tonics. There was a Gems hair tonic and Lucky Tiger, a green lotion. The makers claimed that it was good for dandruff, but it smelled like sheep dip. They would have to have a shampoo after using that, and it would cost an extra quarter. Dyches also took his tools with him. He would cut hair in the old log cabin out below Wales. He cut a lot of hair there. He was glad when the undertakers came. He shaved many men out in the cemetery. He stated that those customers never complained that they got cut. Joseph went into business for himself and used to hum when he cut hair. Glendale Larson said that after a haircut that it was the best he ever heard. Joseph still remembers the best advise his father gave him. "Never argue: win an argument, lose a customer." If he is a Republican then talk Republican. If he is a Democrat then talk Democrat. A Democrat would sooner vote for a yellow dog than a Republican and vice versa. Never argue about politics or religion, that is a bad policy. For 50 years that was the advice he went by and he never had an enemy. T y IS v S Vx AV" i s' L two-bit- s.

It was not 4 Ar "roll-off- ", usually the local people who would pay for the extras, but who generally "money people would have it done. Many times the barbers would be lucky to get 25 cents for a shave. The customers would try to bargain it down. Dyches said that if one couldnt get a whole loaf then take a half. Occasionally when they got out of the chair, customers would say, "I left my purse at home on ' it t i h North Sanpete High School Drama Club recently sent 22 students to attend the Utah Shakespearean Festival competition, held in Cedar City, and placed sixth overall.
