Three times Best Editors Column by Utah Press Association by Pal Mellor Sub for Santa The students in the Sixth Grade, are getting ready for our third annual Sub for Santa Project. Last year, over 70 of our local businesses in My chauffeurs uniform One of these days theres going to be an accident in front of a local school at about 8:15 a.m. The police can cite one or two of us for a moving violation and can probably get another eight or ten of us for indecent exposure. I always mean to be fully clothed by the time the kids are ready for school, but its hard to get my turn in the bathroom early in the morning when some of the kids are bigger than I am. If I actually do manage to gain entrance and get my turn, nobody recognizes it. While Im putting toothpast on the brush my arm is type who is jostled by a pre-tee- n in to see the mirror jumping up while curling her hair. Someone steps between me and the sink to use the blowcomb. I reach to the toothpaste and the kid shampooing her hair in the tub hollers, Hand me a towel, will ya? As I dodge another person to get to the door, I wonder why people worry about getting a family room built onto the house, if they have a bathroom already. Even if I could battle my way through the herbal fog to the shower and actually manage to be in there alone, getting dressed would be out of the question. By the time three teenagers are through with the herbal shampoo, herbal deodorant, and whatever that is they slap on their faces and spread through their hair, the whole house smells like Buchanans Mortuary during a big funeral when roses are in season. From 7 a.m. until 8:30 on any weekday, the traffic through the house resembles that seen at a large viewing, too. Theres no place to go to get dressed. Weeks ago I moved the TV into the bedroom so that the preschooler could watch Sesame Street in relative quiet during the early morning scramble. Try to get dressed in a room where a frog is singing, Its not easy, being green" and the four year old, who is into comparative anatomy, is staring at you instead of the TV. Generally I dress fairly but at normally during the day, night I tend toward the bizarre. Ive always regarded nightgowns and pajamas as sort of the water heaters of the clothing world: nobody is going to see them, so why worry about it? Theres practically no call for impressive nightwear unless youre making pornographic videos any more, and from what Im wearing when I drop the kids off at school in the mornings, anybody could tell that video is never going to be my calling. In the fall and the spring, its easy to run out to the car and jump in and drive everyone to hisher appropriate destination complete with books, posters, musical tennis racquets, instruments, birthday cakes, taco sauce, and borrowed items of clothing. The only drawback is that during the milder months the sun comes up earlier, making it easier to tell which mothers are holding out for a 10 a.m. bath with nobody around but the dog. In the winter, is another story. First, its a challenge to get enough layers of clothing over the tricot pajamas to keep from freezing to the steering wheel. Under cover of darkness, I slink from the house to scrape the windshield, praying that the guys from the Highway Patrol are having a meeting in Richfield and not out checking Manti, Ephraim, and Sterling, contributed either money or merchandise to this worthy cause. We work closely with Social Services, and local church leaders, in identifying children and families that need our support. Last year we helped 17 families with 39 children. These families lived in Sterling, Manti, and Ephraim. Because of high unemployment in our area again this year, we see at least the same numbers or The Ephraim and Manti Utah LDS Stakes have purchased the shop building on the old Manti High School grounds and will utilize it in connection with the Mormon Miracle Pageant and other church functions. The South Sanpete School District board of education voted to accept the stakes $35,000 offer at its November meeting. The district had previously advertised the building for sale in several state and local papers, but had received no responses, according to Paul Gottfredson, district financial manager. The building has had only occasional use since the high school moved to its new campus. It was constructed in 1964 at a cost of $104,772.00 and contains 7,200 square feet. The sales contract does not include in the That the heating system located basement of the building. Elder Blake Howell 1556 North Leverette 9 Fayetteville, AR 72703 actually managed to get my hair washed before somebody missed the bus. With my head in a towel, well-wor- n hiking boots on sockless bare feet, and a dusty World War II trenchcoat thrown over a dragging remnant of flannel nightgown, I looked like the only person in the United States who could be counted on to support the sale of arms to Iran. Somewhere out there, are a number of people who can vouch for this.

The Utah National Guard pays the city for the heat it receives from the system on a BTU consumption basis. If the stakes consume any heat, the city will be remunerated for it in the same way. lease of the high Mantis long-terschool building it has converted into a city complex includes the heating system under the shop building. The lease provides for an annual payment of $1,000. The two stakes are now deciding on what activities will be housed in the building they have purchased. They could include pageant food services, makeup, costuming, storage, as well as church sponsored programs like Scouting. "We feel that the sale of the building to the church was to the districts advantage, Mr. Gottfredson said, since the district had no need for it and also had some maintenance costs it can now avoid.
