His father, Phillip Arthur Dix was born in West Virginia and his mother Gulielma Sears Dix was born in Pennsylvania. Son Phillip was the youngest of four children. He has two sisters still living, one in Souh Carolina and one in California. The sen'or Phillip Dix served in the National Guard before moving to Utah with his family. In those days, a southern gentleman who had been in military service just naturally came by the honorary title of colonel although he may not have officially attained that t jJ rank.

Most of his life Phillip Dix had keen interest in hoises. His particular hobby was in raising show horses. Ho had a jumping horse that won 22 first prizes in a year which was the first time a horse had accomplished such a feat in the state of Utah He also won the state amateur champioslnp on his live gaited herse. His prize horses were his three and five gaited horses and the jumping horse. He remained active .n the Utah Horse Show Assn., until three years ago. His father was the first president of the association. His earliest memories of Roy was seeing the irrigation water running down the streets. Before the canal was cemented it wasted mere water than it used. He well remembers the time when the canal broke through one half mile from his home. Thd torrent created a large gulley which still remains and washed out the whole county below. a Whci he was a boy, his father introduced the sport of hunting with greyhounds. His dad and Mr. Harness owned 20 eventually hounds. They hunted jack rabbits and coyotes throughout Roy, Hill Field, and the Arsenal. Phillip Dix created quite a stir in Roy with purchase of the first automobile owned in this area. It cost $3,200 and had a speed of about 15 miles an hour. Because there was no windshield, it was necessary to wear long dusters, goggles and long elbow length g.ovts. Wren driving the vericle, one had to be prepared to stop at any time or any place to repair a tire. If it could be accomplished in an hours time, that was luck. The sandy stretch between Roy and Salt Lake was very hard on the tires. It created great blisters the sige of a hand on them which had to be broken then patched in order to continue the journey.. By the time Salt Lake was reached it was generally necessary-t- o buy e Riverdale Faculty WATER BID NOD The faculty of the Riverdale School was honored by a Christmas dinner party at the Cobble Cottage last week by the officers and the GIVEN RIVERDALE chairmen of the Riverdale School PTA.

Cottle - 1958 y THE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS AND SANTA CLAUSE is shown on the faces of all children at this time of the year. Santa Clause made his first trip to Roy last Thursday night at the Western Auto Store. Hundreds of youngsters were on hand to tell old St. Nick what they wanted for Christmas. With Christmas only 13 days away, Santa gays to tell everyone "Merry Christmas. a new set of tires. Travel time to surrounding area.

The Davis County Nursery was the association of old friends and a boon to labor in Roy and the neighbors. Marriage is an honorable estate, as the Prayer Book says. Moreover it is good for the soul of man, for it keeps his spirit humble, his hands busy and his mind interested in trying to unriddle the riddle that he led to the alter. No matter how long a husband is united to the wife of his bosom he never finds out what makes her click Why a woman bursts into tears when she Is happy; why she fights like a feind for her liberty, yet waits her husband to boss her; why she enjoys poor health and likes to be pitied are mysteries between her and her God that no mere man can solve. I HEREWITH OFFER you 10 suggestions that may possibly be , a lamp to your feet along the matrimonial road. 1. Give as much time and thought and intelligence to picking out your wife ts you would a new automobile. Get one who is suited to YOUR PURSE AND YOUR NEEDS. 2. Marry a girl who has a funny bone instead of a wish bone. You will do a lot of things over which your wife will either have to laugh or cry- 3. Get off on the right foot when you are first married, and elect yourself head of the house before your wife has time to grab the pants. This will make for the happiness of both of you 4. Make it part of your daily dozen to tell your wife that EVERY DAY IN EVERY WEEK SHE GROWS MORE BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL AND FASCINATING. Never be too busy, or too tired, or tco truthful to omit this ritual. 5. Give your wife as liberal an allowance as you possibly can and never ask what she did with the quarter your gave her week before last. 6. Do something to show your wife you are interested in HER BEING HAPPY, and to keep her glad she married you. of7. Keep her busy. It is the idle women who fill the doctors fices and the divorce courts. HARD WORKING mothers of FAMILIES never develop nervous prostration or worry over their husbands not understanding them. 8. Never criticize your wifes taste or dress. 9. Show your wife some appreciation. Dont take all of her work, her thought and her devotion without as much as a thank you." 10. Follow the instead of the hammer in trying to mold your wife nearer to your hearts desire. Batting a wifes faults drives them deeper in and makes them ineradicable, but praise puts her on her mettle to live up to her husbands ideal. Follow these rules, son. If you want to get along with your wife. They will work. Lets think together next week.
