The Declaration of t, by B. Savings Bonds Dear Reader: Another school year is well underway and our children are being housed in the best buildings, taught by the best trained teachers and have access to the best equipment of any generation since public education began, but did you ever stop to realize that many of the greatest lessons we learn have their, setting far from a building of any kind and are taught by people who hold no academic degrees. May I relate an experience when I learned one of the great lessons of my life and I had only the ground for a carpet and the sky for a ceiling and an unlearned brother for a teacher. During the thirties, nearly all the coal we burned in our home came from the oldChris-topherso- n Mine, located up in the Starvation Fork of Spanish Fork Canyon. We brought the coal out by team and wagon. We mined and loaded it ourselves and for a very nominal fee we could purchase a good load of coal. The coal vein was JOHN ADAMS "Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that those United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. Letter to Mrs. Adams (July 3, 1776) only about four feet in thickness and we had to work in a stooped position and we were For the next several weekly it will be your job as a voter to sift through all the talk and print to find reality and to make your decision.

For this campaign, make The facts this pledge: you forever batting our heads against that stone ceiling. I sometimes wonder if that experience isnt the cause of my head trouble now. Thats a subject for another day. Lets get back to the lesson. On one trip I bet a feller I that one of my horses could outpull one of his horses. We agreed to pull the following morning. We were camped at the mouth of Starvation Canyon which was near Old Tucker. I was a very smart kid of 19 and I went to bed that night with high hopes knowing that I was going to pick me up an easy five dollar bill come morning. Morning came mighty early, and I burrowed deeply down between the covers of my hard bed on the ground, waiting for just a little more warmth from the sun before I ventured forth to harness Old Mike and pull him, but my adversary was up and calling for action, so like a big shot I harnessed up and by the toss of a coin, it was decided I was to pull first. I hitched that one lone horse on the end of the tongue of a load of coal. I tried leading him but he didnt seem to want to settle I ... not impressions the reality of actual constructions and jobs and income and solutions. And finally, shall ask for . . .

Aunt Jo Davis Evans riding him but Mike refused to even tighten a tug. I was crushed, betrayed and embarrassed before an audience of about a dozen coal haulers. I lead Mike away from the wagon, hoping the other horse would act the same way but not so was the case. That feller stood out in front of his horse holding a rain loosely. He spoke to him and that horse set all four feet, bent his knees a little lowered his belly and seemed to lift and pull at the same time. The wagon load of coal rolled forward. After Id paid the guy my hard earned five dollars, I began telling Mike what a stupid horse he was. It was then I received a lesson that Ive never forgotten. My brother Joe, who was about 15 years older than I said.: Listen you! That horse aint nearly as stupid as you. That feller who just took five dollars away from you has been out of bed for two hours warming up his horse. Hes been pulling a big log all over the place. No horse is going to start pulling on a cold collar. That guy was preparing while you slept. Why didnt you tell me? says I. Youll think twice before you bet again, says he and remember whatever you do, practice for it first. I wanted you to get beat. Its five dollars well spent. You know, Ive never lost a cent on a bet since that day. I think twice before I bet and then I dont bet and when I have a job to do I try to get warmed up for it first just as I should have warmed up Old Mike many years Roth Aunt Jo was my favorite aunt and the aunt part is no typographical error. Your first thought may be that her parents had named her Jo because they were so disappointed when she turned out to be a girl, but this was not the case. She had five sisters and three brothers when she was born on the 25th of April in 1873 at the little town of American Fork. She was christened Georgina because it was a favorite family name in her fathers family. (He had left his English homeland, but he had carried to America the love for the Island as well as the love he had for his brothers and sisters who remained there.) Two of these sisters had been given the name Georgina, one as a first name, the other as a second name.. In this family of eleven children in American Fork who grew up in a fine house on Church Street there was much fun- - long ago returned to the dust. Those wagons are just a memory of yesteryear and the in- structor never survived his fortieth year but the lessons still remain: Think twice before betting, never attack against a cold collar and in the face of adversity, face it with a Pioneer Spirit as though a town were not down here. cluded) came around his cabinet shop in the back yard where he worked on anything from cabinets to caskets he only had to say the word and the pet rooster would chase them off. If he saw his wife coming with an errand look in her eye or carrying something from the house which needed fixing and he wasnt just in the mood, he let the rooster take care of them, while he laughed gayly at the departing person. Most of the brothers and sisters had nicknames so Jo was not singled out in this way. Her brother Charles was called Chas, her sister Margaret answered to Meg, Elinor was shortened to Nel, they didnt find any way to shorten Ann and Beatrice was always so dignified and prim no one dared to call her any other name, (at least in her hearing). Joe wasnt the beauty her younger sister Beatrice was. She wore spectacles early in life and the round lenses in the tiny wire frames didnt do much to enhance her plain features. Jo had something nicer than beauty though. She was genuine, she liked people, and she tried to do what she could for everyone. Aunt Jo and Uncle Fred didnt have any children of their own. They both loved children and it was a great sorrow to them that they couldnt share this love with their own sons and daugh OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE P r year-aroun- August 30, 1968 home and buying a new but that same brother Dear Fellow Citizens : The Legislature of the State of Utah has entrusted me with the responsibility for publishing the following Propositions, ivhich relate to changes in the Constitution of the State of Utah.

Before morning I learned what could be done. We had cut a raw bolster out of an aspen tree and far into the night had we sat and heated up the king bolt over a coal fire burned a hole through the green wood so the king bolt could fit through it and hold the wagon together.
