In Camelot." As a child, I would have liked to believe in Camelot, that fanciful kingdom where people could live happily ever after, where even the weather defied cold reality. But long before I reached the official age of majority, the tragic news of a winter day in 1963 would cause me to begin looking ENNIS AND EDA ALLDREDGE Couple Celebrate Golden Anniversary An open house will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Oak City First and Second LDS Ward Chapel at Oak City, Utah, from to 4 p.m. to honor Ennis and Eda Alldredge for their SOth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Alldredge were married Dec. 6, 1933, in the Manti LDS Temple. They have lived in Oak City, Hooper and Sunset. Since Alldredge retired from Hill Air Force Base, they have resided in Oak City. Both have been active in the 1 LDS Church and have held numerous church positions. , They had eight children with seven still living: Danice Mike-se- ll and Bradley Alldredge of Sunset; Eloise Parker, Roy; Myr-n-a Gronwald, South Weber; Shauna McCalmant, Hooper; Janet James and Lora Facer of Oak City.

A United States president had been shot and killed. Twenty years have come and gone since the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated, but what happened that Nov. 22, remains indelibly linked in my mind to the loss of innocence I experid enced when as a girl I just happened to. be standing near an AP teletype machine in the Salt Lake Tribune newspaper office, when the news of Kennedys death first hit the wires. I was 15 years old. Like most of my peerst bom as we were in the late forties, I had escaped any first person recollection of World War II. Even during the ensuing Korean conflict, I was too young to understand, let alone worry about, what it meant to be afraid of anything more serious than the neighbor teen-age- hood bully who once dragged my by the coat collar clear across a vacant lot. Later, as a sophomore school girl, who had been chosen to represent Clearfield High School in a televised quiz show on cur--; rent events, I studied headlines on racial unrest in the United States and Communist encroach-- . ment in Viet Nam with naive detachment. Indeed, from my uninitiated point of view, everyone In the world was basically good, and if you said your prayers and pledged allegience to the flag, everything would be all right. When newsmen used the word Camelot to describe the years of JFKs sojourn in the White House, I believed. And so it was that I left school that blustery day in November, excused from classwork along with five other students, to appear on the Salt Lake Tribune sponsored Inquiring Editor. We were to tape our show for broadcast the following Saturday morning, after which we had been promised a guided tour of the Tribune offices. Of the actual taping, I can remember little, except that I worried if the wind had irrepairably damaged my stylish bouffant hairdo and the fact that Tri- bune" columnist what cloudy, like the funnels of smoke that wafted upwards from ashtrays dotting desks in the large partitioned rooms. Still, I recall it was a sleepy time of day. Here and there a typewriter rattled. Occasionally a telephone would ring. Not even the sporadic patter of teletype machines could break the pervasive spell of lethargy that caused even our curious minds to wander back to the high school, where we wondered what our classmates were eating for lunch. In that frame of mind I listened to our guides voice droning on and on. When something really important comes over these wires, this office really comes to life, I remember hearing him say, as we scanned the yellow copy that inched beneath the rattling teletype. Standing next to me, so close I might have touched his elbow, if I hadnt been overawed by his status as an upperclass letter-mawas a handsome boy named Bob. I think I must have been more interested in looking at him than in observing what was coming across on the machine, because I remember hearing, someone laugh, a high n, metallic kind, of involuntary staccato, and then Bobs face was twisting as he pointed to the line of type he had just finished reading. Later, in the Clearfield High School newspaper the Talon, Bob would record what he felt, what we all felt, as we read the words, President Kennedy shot in Dallas, perhaps fatally. I thought there was a mistake, in the teletype; no, I thought the conductor of the tour was trying to pull a stunt to make us realize the importance of journalism. I read further and realized that there was no mistake in the report; I shuddered... i ; 1 Riding home from Salt Lake . that day, there was none of the banter that had acour trip in the oppocompanied site direction that morning--n- o one joked about the force of the the sides of wind the vehicle we were riding in.
