Saw that branch, trim that hedge; hoe that ditch from edge to edge. No need for pushups, deep knee bends. No use of jogging past your Mends. Forego the yoga, calisthenics, forget Olympics and Hellenics. There's no thing, really, like a garden to make the muscles grow and harden; to broaden shoulders, trim the waist, and drive the fat from where it's placed. You'D look much better, head to toe, if just you shovel and you hoe. And what is more, if you work hard, youH have a better looking yard. Hope it's not the calm before the storm, but as we ponder over the typewriter this morning (Tuesday), the sun is shining, no wind is blowing, and it is warming up to a beautiful day. And that is something of a record after three steady days of blowing, and several afternoon dusters before that Weve never seen such a continual blow, with so much dust in all our days. You would think that eventually all of the dust would get blown away, but the warm, dry spring has left beds of powder that continues to whip up every time the wind even whispers. One of the worst dust problems has been off the hill north of Roosevelt Clouds of dirt have been blown into the valley to the east, enveloping the airport area in a thick curtain that makes visibility impossible. But if you think you have problems with the wind, just stop and think what it is doing to the business at the new golf course. The beautiful day for the opening has faded into a week of wind. Not only does the wind keep players off the course, but for the past few days the watering has been nearly impossible to complete. How can a sprinkler system that ordinarily reaches some 40 feet in one direcn hour wind tion, compete with a il which prevents the water from traveling more than 10 feet upwind? There have been a few brave, hardy souls who have tried the course during the wind, but as a whole, the fairways are empty as soon as the big blow starts. It is reasonable to assume that the course is losing better than $100 per day when the wind blows, so it's about time things settled down. And while we're at it, lets ask for some rain to settle the dust and help conserve the water supply for the summer. 50-m- Have you ever noticed that most people who feel it is alright to tell little white lies soon become color blind. We sat through a very interesting meeting last week, in which representatives from the chambers of commerce from Roosevelt, Duchesne and Vernal pooled ideas and suggestions for a uniform check cashing code in the Basin. We felt the group made excellent progress toward eliminating much of the loss from this source. But in our opinion the greatest product of the meeting, an accomplishment that bespeaks greater things for the entire Basin, was the congenial, cooperative attitude that prevailed throughout the session. We feel that right now there is a better working relationship among the three major communities of the Basin than at any time in the nine years we have resided here. We commend community leaders for this step forward. To a great extent, the credit for this accomplishment must go to the chambers of commerce. No longer do these groups find it necessary to enter a dog eat dog" negotiating attitude. Each realizes that if we are to cope with problems that are common to the entire Basin, close cooperation is necessary. We would hope this atmosphere continues. Roosevelt elementary dance May 16 Thursday, May 16, Roosevelt elementary will hold their dance festival in the Roosevelt City park beginning at 10 a.m. This year's festival will be programmed around a German theme, "Tana Fest".
