Community Portraits By Kyle llarrop There was ample reason for pre senting the attractive bronze pla que, ensenbed with the following to Captain Leland Earl Saunders, as the year's outstanding officer in the Roy Fire Department. Outstanding Firemans Award given In grateful recognition by the Roy City Fire Department to Captain leland E. Saunders for constant devotion to duty this 12th day of April 1957. C. C. Daily, Chief Mr. Saunders experience and training in the aspects of fire fight ing has made his services invalu able to the fire department. He has been employed by the OlRAD Railroad for 21 years, but since 1948 he has served as fire chief and marshal of the company. Under his training and supervision, the men on the Roy Volun teer Eire Department, now rank among the highest in the state in . efficiency and know-howBecause of the limitations of a volunteer fire department, each, man must be trained in all the techniques of fire fighting, so that there isn't a man on the force who isnt capable of handling the other fellows Job in case of emergency. During the winter, Mr, Saunders conducts a class every weekend in good weather, puts the men through a aeries of drills and maneuvers, The thing about the whole aspect of the Roy Fire Department, is the sincere brotherly love and respect that each man feels for the other, the officers toward one another and the men towards each other and their officers. It all goes toward making heart-warmin- Schools Close Ycr-ringto- - V ' 1 CAPT. LELAND E. SAUNDERS an efficient, closely knit unit. As chairman of the membership committee of the fire department, Captain Saunders .has seen to it that only men of upright citizenship and moral decency have been accepted for the force. Mr. Saunders is the son of Joseph W. (Bill) and Ellen Ferrin Saunders. He was born in Ogden, the 8th child in a family of 12 children. The children were raised in Harrlsville, but after Leland mar- ried. he moved to Ogden to make his home. In school, Leland Saunders was an outstanding athlete, participating in and enjoying all the sports. Although now, his participation Is not what .it once was, he is still Included in his responsibilities as captain of the Roy Fire Department, he is also the fire marshal of the department which gives him police power over any fire in Roy He can make arrests, issue citations and permits. It Ls his duty to in vestigate the cause of fire and make a report and to give notice on fire hazzards. Without exception the citizens of Roy have cooperated in the re moval of such hazards. Mr. Saunders feels that Roy is fortunate indeed, to have for mayor. C. W. Rapp, a man who is himself experienced in the work of fire fighting and as a consequence, interested in the development of an efficient force here. He has really been a booster for the Roy City Fire Department. As a leader and instructor, Mr. Saunders is outstandings, due, perhaps mainly to the fact that he is sincerely Interested in people and has a great capacity for understand ing them. He is firmly convinced that it is much easier to seH a person on an idea than it is to insist on it through force.

Anon. Courtesy' Gar Hamilton. MY MOTHER'S BROOM My mother was very much a lady. She never raised her voice, or spoke an unkind word, or rebelled in any way An yet, her life met so many defeats Certain scenes stand out in my girlhood My mother graciously welcoming guests, my mother smoothing the white linen tablecloth, my mother's white gloved hand closping the prayer Ixiok as she sat in the church pew, my mother squinting one eye and cocking her head as she held one of her watcrcolors cutaway from her. But more often I see my mother wielding a broom. For many years this seemed so strange that I should remember such a trivial incident. We always had household help. Although my mothers health was poor, there always was in my memory, the wisking of dirt out of the vestibule, or down the wide stairs. Surely,. I used to think, "there isnt that much dust When I matured, I discovered that when I am emotionally disturbed I can chase the dirt from the top of the house to the bottom in half the time it takes when I am calm. My energy seems seems unlimited. And so it is that I come to know my mother. Today, when I take the broom to the front hall, I feel my mother's presence, and I see tho faint scowl that I did not see years ago and I understand My mother was more than a disciplined person. She was human. She, too, could feel resentment even anger. But it was the broom handle that swept away that anger. Florence Bakalyar One good mother is worth more than a hundred schoolmasters." Anon.
