They stare at you when you goof. been a wonderful week! We realize that sounds odd It'i coming from us, after all the complaining we've been doing the past while. But it's true. Maybe our luck has changed, and things will start picking up now. Although we are still short' handed around ye old print shop, everything seemed to go right for a change. We had fairly good advertising this week, and lots of news, and, at this writing, it appears that we will have the sheet out on time. Even the big goof we made last week turned out not too badly. Maybe you notice the for hay at $10 per ton. Well, it was Just a matter of hitting the wrong key on the linotype, and not noticed on the proof. And, as you know, that's dam cheap hay. Anyway, Mrs. McKenna called this week and wanted the ad run again. She said our goof had caused them a lot of trouble, but it did bring them a lot of calls, and they sold a lot of hay (not at $10, by the way). They sold approximately 165 tons of hay from our goofed up ad! Experience Is the name men give to their follies or their sorrows. Perhaps, the highlight of the week, however, was a letter we received from Marie Benson, out Salt Lake way. Seems she had lived in the Ioka area for some 40 years before moving to the city. She has been real busy the past few weeks visiting people from the Basin. No, she hasn't been out here, but she does watch the paper, and when it is mentioned that someone from here is In the hospital In Salt Lake City, she hustles right up to visit them, or gives them a ring on the phone. A few she mentioned were Mrs. Angus, Paul Murphy, Gwen Benson, Duane Richens, Faye Yack and Presley Timothy. She says, Tm wondering who will be next? In another place in the letter (which was too long to print in its entirety) she stated, I was real interested in the top headlines of last weeks paper, about enlarging the hospital in Roosevelt That is wonderful, as I they do need more room worked there in the nursery for 6 years, and loved every minute of it." Mrs. Benson also gave us some very good suggestions on Improving our paper, which we will try to work in. We've never met Mrs. Benson, but it was a real pleasure to get her letter. ...
