Even our own typesetter, and office manager has burdened one of her own dear children. Now how Thats Aurora Residents Show Spirit of Volunteerism How sets them apart from many people in this area, however, is the spelling of their names. We commend the city of Auroras residents for their spirit of volunteerism exemplified in their paved roads built entirely from voluntary donations. Residents are being asked by the city council to give to what, in the building of a fire our opinion, is an even worthier cause house to house Auroras fire truck and pumper truck. asked to donate $100 toward the Each family and other projects are completed, fire building. When the building in the town should be reduced. insurance rates on buildings Council members said the donations can be paid all at once or in payments. The $100 is merely a suggested amount. You can pay more or pay nothing. City tresurer Versel Mason, said no one would be forced to give anything for the building. We are confident that Aurora Citizens will continue to set an example for all for the spirit of volunteerism and dig deep into their pockets and support this worthy venture. in Aurora is being Police List Action For Week about the name Christy? would you Theres Kristy, Cristy, Kristi, Christi.

My first inkling that westerners spelled first names differently (to put it somewhat euphemistically) was when I became a companion on an LDS mission with a young man from Star Valley, Wyo.

Its the only month, out of the year that has nothing no to boast about; holidays to plan sales around, no birthdays to get off work for, no great days of remembrance to be remembered for. It doesnt even have the beginning or ending of a season within its days. September can boast Labor Day, a traditional weeekend to long honor the working person; and Autumn begins on the 23rd. October has Columbus Day right in the middle, the 12th, and ends up the month with the ghosts and goblins of Halloween. The 11th of November is traditional the Veterans Day, of in honor the men and women who fought ih the armed services for the protection of our country.

As I recall, you told me recovery rate was very poor. I want you to know that in my case, it worked. that their I have had a problem with drugs and alcohol since I was 19 years old. Your sending me to the A.RC. program was the first time I had ever been able to even see that I had a problem. Although I did not stop drinking for two months after I came back to California, A.RC. gave me a new awareness of my problem and I knew where to go for help when I finally realized it.

I talked with Anndreas mother and asked her why the double I also asked if I could have permission to embarrass her in this column. She was not only a good sport, but she also gave me the story on how she and Brad decided on the name and the spelling for Anndrea. I am finding that this story is not untypical. even-temper- unique. Pronunciation is a key to some of the names around this area. Take Eva Lynn Holt. The accent is on the Lynn. That way, most people think, Oh, it must be two words.
