Ephraim City will be launching into an area of growth and leadership in this present national challenge. Last week I reported that there is a very real concern in the minds of some new families moving in to Ephraim. Ive talked with several of these people and listened to their concerns.

Many owners are who have in mind to save their lot for one of the grandsons or otherkin they hope will some day want to come back home to stay. Yet, the crux of the problem is this: Almost every backyard of almost every block has wasted space. Not only that, but in many instances that wasted space is overgrown with weeds and other debris. absentee-land-owner- A good (?) landing To the Editor: We just received the issue that described your aerial adventure. As an old war buff, you know that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. I'm surprised, however, that you werent wearing your curmudgeon uniform when you left the school function. As you know, the helmet, cape and parachute is the official uniform for curmudgeons everywhere. Curmudgeons are frequently called upon to test the waters (in your case hard and frozen water) and the helmet protects the Curmudgeon noggin against frozen water while the cape cushions the fall in case the parachute doesnt open. Remember, that big double C (CC) emblem on the uniform stands for Careful Curmudgeon. Have a curmudgeonly good day. The athletic teams. The reasons? The liability and expense to the players, the schools and the district are just too great, said the board. The resolution further states that athletic teams involving 6th, 7th and 8th grade students do exist, as sponsored by a city, church, or recreational program, but those programs cant be affiliated with the school, or use uses BY CAROLYN BESSEY Manti City Librarian Mark your calendar now for Wednesday, April 8th and join the state and nationwide celebration in honor of libraries, books and reading. schedule.

That proves the church is true, doesnt it? said Doug Dyreng. As the conversation degenerated, someone (obviously a University of Utah fan) mentioned that BYU had had some criticism about pouringitonin some ball games. Thatbrought up the subject of sportsmanship and I kept in the background because Im well aware how most Utahns feel about my alma mater, the University of Wyoming.

It is a great privilege to live in our little City of Ephraim. With this plan in effect, we will enjoy community living as never before.

Only they sip from root beer bottles because the church frowns on sipping coke. Hes probably right. But lest I be accused of being biased for or against one of the Utah schools, let me assure you that when it comes to coke sipping the U of Wyoming takes a back seat to no one. In fact, I believe they originated the idea. After all, its certainly colder in Laramie than Salt Lake City and they need more to warm them up. Also they seldom win a game and thus they need something to build up their ego. Come to think of it, Tm not sure they invented the idea of putting hootch in coke bottles. They just took it straight. The coke bottle gimmick was dreamed up by some other university, although I hesitate to say which one. A lady friend of mine in Ephraim has what she claims is the oldest cat in town, over 20 years I think she said.
