Is to be In reality what we would appear to be." The community has lost three sincere friends during the past week...all three individuals who seemed to live a life We doubt that of service to others. there are many people In the area that have not been touched by the lives of one or more of these fine Individuals, and because of this, we would like to add a few observations. Lawrence Luck, still a young man, who passed away last week, has spent a lifetime In service. He enjoyed doing things for others, and was loved He. . 1 his wife, Dorothy, by many. had established a fine homestead Just east of Neola, a comfortable place for He mill be missed by their family. his family and friends. Sunday evening Mrs. Grace Labrum, who has greeted us with a warm smile and vivacious personality through the years since our coming here, passed away after an illness. A hard working Individual, Grace has created a warm spot In the hearts of most people with whom she came In contact Weve enjoyed our association with her and her family. Still another mainstay of the community passed away Monday morning of this week. Ervin War die, who has for many years been In business In this area, finally fell victim to the effects of a But even up until the long Illness. final week of his life, he wanted to be active, to help someone with their problems. to be with his wife and help here with her business In Roosevelt Erv was a friend to everyone. Weve never heard anyone speak unkindly of He and his wife Bessie were him. almost lnseperable, and he still treated her as a bride. A real fine Individual who will be missed. We dont ordinarily like to devote our column to eulogies, but when so many lives are touched by the death of three people In so short a period of time, we couldn't help but add our feelings at this time. We hope their families are consoled by the fact that their loved-on- e has accomplished much In easing the burden of their fellow man, and were loved by many. Another event which saddened us this week Is the death of the Telisak boy In Starvation reservoir. This unfortunate accident has taken the life of a fine athlete, and thrown a dampening blanket on the community. Weve known the Telisak family for more than 10 years, having been associated with Mr. Telisak at Castle Dale where he was administrative officer for the Emery County Project, before moving A fine family. to Duchesne. A family Interested In building the community, and helping to provide recreational facilities for the young people. It Is hard to realize how such an accident can occur. A strong, young athlete participating In a sport he loved, along with a group of friends. As far as we are able to determine, no one knows just what did happen, and may never know. But the accident does point up a fact that too often we overlook. Although lake swimming need not be any different than In a swimming pool, there are some precautions which might well I taken to prevent a similar occurance to that of the past weekend. Water temperatures vary, the lack of a lifeguard, and the presence of underwater hazards do present different problems than swimming In a pool. If you plan to swim In a lake, take these few simple precautions for an enjoyable outing: Know the area In which you plan to swim. Explore for obstacles first. If the group Is large, pair up so that none will lie left alone and not be missed for a period of time. Be aware of your limitations and the water temperature Is low. Try to Include experienced swimmers, possibly some who have had lifesaving experience, In your group. We have a lot of wonderful facilities now open for us In the area. They can be as safe as we make them. Let's enjoy these facilities, and at Hut same time be aware of safety measures that need to be taken. VOLME 89 NUMBER It ROOSEVELT, DUCHESNE COUNTY, UTAH .
