The exit says Syracuse and Freeport Center but "Layton just isnt mentioned. -- LAYTONS Mayor Lewis G. Shields thinks this is unfair. Afterall, the Antelope Drive interchange takes a motorist off the freeway and into Layton. At least the city could be mentioned on the sign.

The word Syracuse could be replaced by Layton if someone besides Layton would make the request. MAYOR SHIELDS plans to contact the North Davis Chamber of Commerce about having the signs changed.

SHE AND HER husband, Lynn, own the Clearfield House of Flowers and had sent a floral arrangement to President Reagans hotel room to welcome him to Utah during his two-da- y stay last week. I almost passed out. Even then, I thought it must be my husband, playing a practical joke on me. There was a long wait (it seemed like an eternity) and then President Reagan came on the line. I CANT remember his exact words, because I was out in left field, but he said he had just arrived in his room and found the floral arrangement and it was splendid indeed. He said he wanted to personally say thank you. I stuttered a reply and thanked him, but I forgot to call him Mr. President. MRS. PERKINS said shop employees Toni Wehus, Elyse Smith and Barbara Garcia listened in on an extension line. It was about 10 minutes to five the day of his arrival. We had been watching the helicopter that accompanied the Presidential Party, so we were already pretty excited, Mrs. Perkins said. The phone rang shortly afterward and Toni answered it. It was someone who asked for me or my husband. Toni handed the phone to me and said it sounded official, she continued. I had gone to quite a bit of trouble to get the necessary approval to send the flowers, she said. As soon as I heard President Reagan was coming, about a week before his visit, I started making telephone calls. Hooper is my home town, and I wanted to be part of the event. MRS. PERKLNS and her husband glued an h high ceramic cowboy boot and a small cowboy hat to a slab of cedar as the base for the floral arrangement. Mr. Perkins made a tiny lariat out of sisal, and the two added deep lavendar and gladioli cattails and eight-inc- rust-color- wheat. The couple took their three sons, Matthew, 14; Travis, 12; and Clint, 10, to the City Park to see the President on Friday. THEY WERE all excited and asked a lot of questions, Mrs. Perkins said. I thought it was important for them to go. In her message to the President with the Flowers, she wrote that seeing the precautions and preparations made for his arrival had sparked many questions from their children. IM SURE MY children and all the other children in our area have benefited greatly, she wrote. In years to come Im sure they will pay more attention to our government, its people and its problems. Receiving a personal call from the President gave her a very warm feeling, she said. For him to have taken that time made me feel really good, Mrs. Perkins noted. My family and people who waited to see him at the park seemed to feel the same way. I felt he would like to have walked outand joined us and had a picnic there. |
