The paper has just begun a weekly article of Senior notes, telling of the up coming activities. I went to the center on Thursday morning, to see what the programs have to offer. Every week day at noon, a delicious meal is served for a suggested meal donation of $1. On Wednesday, one of the favorite programs is the BINGO games. Pat Nageli the director of the center told me on Wednesday at the Bingo games the center is very popular with the local Seniors. There are several classes taught at the center almost every working day. Quilting classes in the morning, along with oil painting (taught by Jessie Loval), Ceramics classes, with the centers own Kelm, a beautiful pool table is in the lobby, a ping pong table, films, trips, and much more. The Magna Senior Citizens Center was started eight years ago. The building was purchased by Magna Senior Citizens from First Security Bank. Then Salt Lake County added on the lobby to the building so the building is jointly owned. Hie president of the center is Floyd Nielson, and the director of the center is Pat Nageli. Floyd told me how his right hand man is Loyd Aagard. The county send a teacher out to Magna twice a week for exercise classes. Pat told me how most of the class teachers are Magna Senior Citizen volunteers. Jessie Loval has taught oil painting for four years, and as you walk in the center, many beautiful oil paintings are in the lobby. The morning I visited the center Fem Llewellyn was teaching her handwork class.

Approximately one mile of the highway within the city limits of Copperton will be planed down about an inch with a heater scarifier. Then a rejuvenating agent will be mixed with the material which has been planed off. Parts of the asphalt mix tend to dry out as time passes and the pavement loses some of its elasticity and strength. The rejuvenating agent softens the asphalt and restores its durability. The reconstituted mix is then placed back on the road and a seal coat is add to protect the new surface from moisture. The work should take about four days .
