We think so! For the past several years we have traveled south for a couple of months California and to parts of Arizona Joe L Mexico with the "Snowbirds" has contacted us and said the GV Police Department would check on our house while we were away Each year he sends us a printout of the different times they have checked on our house and yard We really appreciate that — to live! there's not many places that people will do that for you — and we want to tell him and his fellow workers thanks a bunch! The only thing we have to complain about when we get home is how the mail piles up We weighed it and it weighed almost 2 pounds in six weeks! It was mostly junk mail No wonder postal rates keep going up! Thanks again Gunnison City! Sincerely Leslie and Jean Larsen Aromas are a part of life Dear Editor: A visitor asked me "What's that strange odor in the air?" replied “It’s the smell of fodder which is fond for livestock" “Well" the visitor said "There is something besides fodder!” "Oh that is just manure” I added “That is just the smell of country of a small fanntovvn lere the skies am bluer and the starry nights light up the universe that one seems to see as they gaze sky ward! I would never trade it for the putrid odor of the big city: carbon monoxide that exudes from the transportation of this maddening haste the haze that hangs over the city and in the city look to the sky but cannot see the stars because of the brightness of the neon lights and the multitude of homes and buildings In this small town we have the modbut we live at a ern conveniences laxed pace and we know our neighbors and they are always there to help The various aromas are part of our existenee and who would complain for there are many many amenities Ah yes give me that sweet perfume of the busy people who are scurrying to and fro as if their lives depended on fodder and manure Wecan live but could we live without it!
