The fact that the problems exist is depressing enough without having them constantly brought to oi attention. But then, of course, how is something to be done about them if they are not made known?

Dont know how many of you watch TV more than I do, but if you watch it at all, its probably more than I. However, I recall an advertisement recently that said something like, No great American was born January 22, nothing important ever happens on January 22nd . . . etc., and goes on comedto say that some would-b- e ian opens his show on that date.

(Progress, you know.) Perhaps a good spanking, restitution from the guilty apology to his victims party's own pocket and an would be good for a starter. The Lions Club have rendered these public services to the area, not because of any thing they may gain by it but as an unselfish public donation. The Little League field is currently being groomed with hopes of getting a State or Regional tournament here, which incidentally would be a benefit to the entire area. The family and myself have certainly been taken good care of since the birth of the baby. Its real nice to have Grandma Kaufman from Idaho come down to help, and also all the kind things the local folks have done, and of course Grandma Brown lives here and is a big help. Sunday in Church Val Jackson made a comment about how thin Brother Brown was looking, and wondered if the good saints were taking care of him in his time of need. Well, Ill tell you the effect was good. During the next two days we were brought muffins, pies, bread, cakes, steaks, meat loaf, rolls, stew, etc. Boy, Ill tell you, that Val can be my agent any time. Seriously, we certainly appreciate the kindness of neighbors and friends who always help to NO EXCUSE FOR DISLOYALTY great many people have become heartily sick of the of pictures and stories concerning ranting disdiet daily senters and unreasoning abuse of the U. S. system and its institutions. A top business leader, in viewing "The heat and extent of the debate going on . . .", says that it is a daily reminder "that our system allows considerably more room for dissent than is to be found in the systems erected by the followers of Marx, Lenin, Che Guevara, Comrade Mao, and the other heroes of the militant Left." This business leader readily admits that we have such things as ". . . poverty, which inferior education, inequality, and urban decay are as old as civilization itself. ". . . However," he adds, none of these is new, and all of them happen to exist to a greater degree outside the United Si'-- s than they do here." He concluded that the fact evils that we are trying to eradicate some of these age-olis "clearly in the pioneering and egalitarian tradition of America. Thanks to the tremendous productive capacity of our economy, such a goal may indeed be within our reach. No other sizeable country in the world could seriously begin io consider such an undertaking, on economic grounds alone." In the spirit of loyal opposition, criticism is healthy. However, much of the opposition of today lacks any trace of a loyalty to the U. S.

A THE ORIGINAL WEATHERMAN No. Among the more pleasing of ancient legends is that of Groundhog Day. Many of us have trouble remembering just what the legend says of the Groundhog' shadow, as well as the exact day on which the event is said to occur. For those who have trouble with their legends, here are the "facts." Groundhog Day falls on February 2. On this day, so the tale goes, a Groundhog comes out of hibernation. If he sees his shadow, he will supposedly return to his hole for another six weeks of winter weather. No one knows whether the Groundhog is aided by such devices as weather satellites or exotic electronic equipment. But, one thing is certain. The Groundhog has been in the weather forecasting business longer than anyone else. For that reason, if no other, he deserves a certain degree of respect.

Shes ing with the Boyd Glovers. stay-vis- it Speaking of the good people of the area: I just opened, this week, a letter (which had been misplaced since December 21) from Frank and Frances Coberly who spend some time in Glendale. They live in Los Angeles, but have a home also in Glendale. I would like to pass their comments on to you. Am writing you in regard to an article in the November 1969 Readers Digest. They wrote and showed some wonderful things about it, but they missed the most important part of southern Utah: (The People). Whether they are Mormons, Baptists, Catholics, other, or no Democrats, Republireligion cans, or not, (they are the greatest). As the beer ad says, its the water that makes it good. As to the most beautiful place in the world, Southern Utah, it is the people that makes it the desirable place to live, or vacation. Would like to mention some of those wonderful people by name: the Drew Robinsons, Clyde Gould-ingBruce Harrises, Grandma Brinkerhoff, Warren Brinkerhoffs, Karl Spencers, Dee Porters, Orsen Youngs, Clark Lambs, and all the rest of you wonderful people. We may not join your church, but we sure would like to join your wonderful people. Wishing you the best of everything. Frank and Frances Coberly Im really sorry that we misplaced this letter, and it did not show up till this week, it would have been much more appropriate, Im sure, just prior to Christmas. Those of us who know the will agree, they are very fine folks too, and we hope they can become permanent members of our communities here. Mr. Coberly is a fellow with greying hair and rosy, shiny cheeks and a disarming smile. I recall one time he came to my office and he hadnt shaved for several days. He was sporting a nice growth of white whiskers. Had he been dressed in a read and white suit with black boots, Id have quickly had my faith in Santa Clauss existence renewed. Its real refreshing to receive letters like this. s, A Scotsman called his pastor to tell him he was going to be married. Ah, said the minister, I see youve found a hand- maid at last.

Johnson the funds were to come through the funds, and Mr. Lewis says they have been advised not to go for the funds with our doctor situation what it is, for fear that we may not get them. This puts the pressure on us to e have resident doctors on hand. Commissioner Lewis said that if a doctor will even write his intentions to come here to practice, then we could possibly go ahead. He praised those who are putting forth efforts in this direction, by contacting doctors and raising funds to help, feeling that the more who are working on it the better the chances are. He told me that a contract between the county and city had been signed to take care of getting sewer lines to the Parco plant east of town. When this line is completed it should be an incentive for added development in that area and additional sewer connections. We also talked about the Coral Pink Sand Dunes development. Bids have been called for first phase developments at the Sand Dunes and also at Chimney Rock State Park. The developments will include comfort stations, water development and road improvement.
