"If you build a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door. Someone, somewhere made this profound statement, but he didnt know what he was talking about. This letter from my sister is proof: Dear Mary, The other morning we were awakened by a slipping, sliding and slithering somewhere in the house. We looked around but couldnt find anything out of corn-flake- out. So there is no truth to the old maxim: If you build abetter mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door. Your sister, Elaine (dace. Would you believe, at 8,000 feet, sleeping without even a sheet for cover? That happened to us at Aspen last Thursday. One would expect to shiver under blankets at that altitude. There was NO sign stretched across Main Street: "Louise and Mac Are in Town. Therell Be a Hot Time in the 01 Town Tonight. But it was the hottest night in the areas re- cord. (Whenever we go away Hell raises. This year the hottest night in Aspen history , and three , trucks wreck at Devil's Slide and make national news. Two years ago we came home from Banff to find half the Morgan Valley burned away. Cant you folks keep the store?) had been more than 20 years since we visited Aspen and we couldnt recognize anything, even the landmarks. The town was buzzing with tourists and everywhere were amateur hippies. The real obnoxious ones, townspeople said, had been run out into the hills, of which there are several around Aspen, and these new ones are smart-alec- k kids who need a shave and a bath. We made endless inquiries about Park City and its future, compared with Aspen 20 years ago, from people in the ski and sports and tourism business. The consensus is that Park City will "get off the ground if rs will permit; the if liquor laws are relaxed, and if the slopes get some tougher. (These are NOT our impressions. They are the suggestions of Aspenltes.) My Lady Fair likes Park City betters Aspen. Most skiers elsewhere, we It home-towne- Over th County Agent's Desk J. Reed Moore Once a gain-m- ay we urge the farmers and livestock men, all citizens of Summit County to please cooperate with the Weed Committee in observing any new or usual weeds as they go about their farms, ranges, and yards, along the roads. Then report such observations to the County Agent. Once again-m- ay we urge all citizens to help control weeds. Use the right method and follow cnrefully the Instructions given. When using chemicals, be very certain that they are the proper ones to control the weeds. We keep finding new areas where Musk Thistle shows up. If tlie farmers learn to identify this weed and then work actively to control it, it could be eradicated in a short time from the County. The weed control is too big an issue for the County spray operators to do alone. All home owners, farmers, cities, civic groups, government agencies, to irrigation companles-ne- ed help and cooperate. Know your weed, know your chemical, know method of application. Use good common sense with all pesticides. All pesticides include three or four areas herbicides, having to do with plant control, insecticides having to do with the control of Insects; rodentlcldes, the control of rodents-ra-ts, mice; fungicides, control of fungus in water on plants, on animals. The State laws of Utah say any one doing commercial spraying should bo registered with the State and pass an examination. The prayers who pass this should then be issued a permit. A commercial sprayer is one who charges for his services. Ask them if they are registered with the State Department of Agriculture. They may get irate. But your asking is also your protection. learned, are afraid of the high- way into Alta. The prices in Aspen wouldnt begin to go in Park Clty-w- ere so close to Salt Lake City visitors would rebel and go to the city. On the other hand its an e n die ss-a- nd hazardous trip over two very high passes to get to Aspen from Denver, and here Salt Lake City is only 20 miles away, a fact they envy. Denver was about as hot as Salt Lake City at nlght- -a fact we couldnt believe. The Mile-Hi- gh City continues to grow -the downtown section reaching skyward. There we spent two loafing days with the perfect hosts, My Lady Fairs brother and his charming wife.

Jim and Lynn Scott, former Morgan drug folks, are happy and prospering in Rock Springs, and send love to everybody . . . R was a little disappointing to find our favorite "most beautiful" city, Heber, with the dirtiest streets and gutters we encountered on the entire trip. The gutters were cluttered with beers cans, broken bottles and debris. Incidentally, we have fun, as you know, with the spelling of the family name, McConaughy. 1 called Mrs. David McConaughy, no relation, in Denver and she put me in touch with a lady in Indianapolis, Ind., who has spent years building a family tree. This lady told her there are 22 different spellings of the name but-- get this they are all related. Some of my cousins were apparently so stupid they couldnt even spell their own name. -- Mac. Class of 1958 Holds Reunion Renewing old friendships, comparing families and reminiscing was the order of the day Saturday July 20 at the Spring Chicken Inn where the Class of 58 held their reunion. Forty-on- e class members and guests enjoyed a tour of the school complex and the dinner where several awards were given. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Boyer received the prize for coming the fartherest for the reunion from Bakersfield, Calif. This honor was shared by Mr. Charles Brown from Llnwood, Calif.; Mr. and Mrs. Val Numoz of North Highland, Calif, and Mr. and Mrs. Culp (Marilyn Rich-in- s) of Phoenix, Arlz. Paul Pace was given a road map for coming the shortest distance, from across the street. Luanna Robinson Fitzgerald was given the prize for having the most chlldren-- 5. Norris Jones received the prize for having lost the most hair, Connie Wilde Carter for having changed the most and Frances Stephens Rlchlns for having changed the least. In a game in which they attempted to match the parents and children by pictures, Kent Nichols received first prize and the "booby prize a large sucker, went to Charles Brown. Class memberscamefrom Morgan, Bountiful, Kamas, Granger, Taylorsville, Evanston, Lyman as well asHenefer, Coalville and Hoytsville for the event.

So far the only ones who have shown up were the mailman (who comes every day) a neighbor to teU me our calves are in her garden and a stray dog looking for a. hand- Back to bed and the same sound started again. While 1 was remembering everything 1 had read about haunted houses and conjuring up mu'own private ghost, Leo decided it was a bird or mouse caught in the wall between the bedroom and stairway. The next night as we were settled in bed, the noise resumed, louder than before and right under our heads. Now we could tell that it was s mouse and he was chewing his way through the baseboard. Reasoning that the mouse would eventually succeed and declaring he could not sleep with that noise under his ear all night, Leo pulled off the baseboard and with his pocket knife gave our little nocturnal rodent an assist. Now this might have solved HE problem, but it didnt do much for me. I couldnt look forward to much sleep with the prospect of that mouse roaming the house all night. He had to be caught, but how with no mousetraps and no place to buy one? "Surely a man must be smarter than a mouse, reasoned my wise husband, so he went into the kitchen. I heard cupboard doors and drawers open and close, the electric can opener running, things banging and falling. I figured this was the sound of a genius at work or Id have a might big mess to clean up in the morning! When he came back into the bedroom he had a pound coffee can with the plastic top in and the bottom cut out, the top of a soup can, a roll of freezer tape and a handful of corn flakes. "Now Just what do you intend to do with that pile of Junk? I inquired, not too kindly. By this time I was ready to forget the whole thing. "Im going to build a mousetrap. He attached the strip of tape to the soup can top and taped it ober the hole like a flap so it could be pushed out but would drop down again like a trap door. Next the cornflakes went into the coffee can and it was taped securely to the wall. Then a wait in the silent darkness. Soon we heard a scuffing on the can lid then qiiiet. We lay still hardly breath. finally we heard the ing .. crackling of corn flakes. Out of bed, on with the light and down on our hands and knees in front of the improvised mouse trap we peered into the plastic end. Sure enough, there was the hungry little fellow, caught as neatly as you please. We un taped the can, slipped a magazine over the open end and the cat ended up with an unexpected midnight snack. (Boy, thats gratitude for you. This little mouse gives them the Browning Aims Moving to Morgan The Browning Arms Company has made a significant change in its physical operations by consolidating its St. Louis, Missouri, General Office with its Administration and Research L Development facilities in Morgan. For the past 38 years, various Company business operations have been divided between the St. Louis and Morgan locations. Under the new arrangement all major business will be handled from Morgan with the Missouri facility responsible for all warehousing, distribution and service. Because of the increased volume of business created by the Companys diversification, an 80,000 square foot facility has been constructed in Arnold, Missouri, to replace the leased building in St. Louis. To accommodate the move to Morgan, the Company has Just completed a 14,150 square-fo- ot addition to the Administration OfficeResearch ADevelop-me- nt Center that was built in 1964. With this addition, Browning now has a total of 40,000 square feet of working area at the Morgan address. The chalet type building is actually located 10 miles west of Morgan and 16 miles from Ogden, in Weber Canyon. R is situated in the center of a 640-ac- re tract and houses all Administrative Offices, Research b Development functions, Sales, Advertising, Photographic Studio, Accounting, a new Data Processing Center and the many auxiliary activities associated with a business this size. The Arnold and Morgan faculties are joined by direct telephone lines that are tied in with the latest data processing equipment. Although dealer orders wiU be sent to Morgan, they can be converted into shipin ping documents printed-o- ut Arnold within minutes after their receipt at Morgan. John Val Browning, President of the Arms firm, said that the consolidation program became necessary because of the growing product lines which the Company now markets. "During the past six years, we have Increased our Sporting Arms line by four new guns and added several gun and related accessories. In addition, Browning subsidiaries are now producing the Sky Pole, famous fiberglass vaulting pole; a complete line of archery equipment, Brownlng-Sll- af lex fiberglass fishing rods and fiberglass sailboats. Recently, seven models of Sportsmans Hunting Boots were introduced and in June The Senate is currently embroiled in controversy over the Presidents nominations of Abe Fortas to the post of chief Justice and Homer Thornberry as associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The hassle over Senate confirmation will probably prevent the Congress from meeting its projected August 1 adjournment date. The President has reportedly informed the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill in no uncertain terms that he wants the Supreme Court nominations confirmed and he doesnt care if the Congress has to stay in session until the end of the year to accomplish it. The way things are shaping up here, it may take that long and even then the appointments may not be approved. The House of Representatives of course, does not pass upon presidential appointments. The framers of the Constitution the poser of "advising foo-ferr- ed and consenting upon the Senate alone. So, while I have a decided ry interest in the Fortas-Thorn-ber- have nominations-a- nd definite opinions regarding them- -I have no vote to cast in the matter. As I announced some time ago, I am opposed to the elevation of Mr. Fortas to' the chief Justiceship, and am also opposed to the Thornberry nomint tlon. In my view, the whole affair smacks of a political "deal. Given the particular facts of the case, it is difficult for even the most objective observer not to be suspicious about it. we began marketing of Sportsmens We have a full line HuntingAp-pare- l. operated a commercial mink ranch on our property since 1965 and are Just putting into operation a modern kennel for raising and training fine hunting dogs". Key personnel for Sales, Customer b Dealer Relations will be transferred to Utah but, Harmon G. Williams, Vice President - Marketing, stated the overall method of operating will not change. The consolidation is the result of extensive research aimed at better serving Browning Dealers and customers. We can operate more efficiently and economically with all related operations at a single base and this consolidation will certainly improve all phases of our varied opera- tions." "By mid August, employment at the local Browning operation will have reached 90 persons. This includes the personnel transferred from St. Louis and those hired locally. The Browning Arms Company now has some 350 employees - not including over 3,000 who manufacture our Sporting Arms products in Belgium. In addition to those located here and in Arnold, Missouri, the Company employs 135 people in two Fiberglass Manufacturing subsidiaries in California. "Traveling Sales Representatives, personnel in the Browning Canadian subsidiary at Montreal and boat factories in Costa Mesa, California, and Hayes, Virginia, complete the employment roll, Mr. Williams said. No manufacturing is done at the Morgan facility. New Arms and other products are designed here, perfected and tested, then sent to the various factories The long and short of the matter, most observers feel, is that Chief Justice Earl Warren chose this particular time to retire so that President Johnson, rather than his successor, could appoint Warrens replacement. Mr. Warren wanted to make sure, so the theory goes, that the new chief Justice would continue in the same activist tradition that has generally been followed during the Californians 15 years on the high bench. So Chief Justice Warren' resigned and, according to plan, the President named another liberal in this case. Associate Justice Fortas-- to succeed him.. Then he named Thornberry, currently serving as a federal judge on the Circuit Court level, to replace Fortas. R has been widely observed that both Fortas and Thorn- berry are long-ti- friends and confidents of the President. In fairness, however, it must be pointed out that friendship alont should not disqualify either man. Appointments to the federal bench should be made on the basis of ability, experience, temperament and philosophy, and friendship should have little to do with it. In the case of Thornberry, particularly, it appears quite evident that friendship more than any other factor dictated the nomination. In my opinion, the Supreme Court is in need of moderating Influence. A halt needs to be called to the Courts practice of "legislating, which is duty of the Congress; rather, GOLF CONTEST Saturday.

There are those who argue that the function of the Senate is strictly limited in passing upon presidential nominations, and that whomever the President wants, the Senate should approve. This may be largely so as regards appointments to the executive branch id government which the President sigjervlses. These appointees, for the most part, leave office when the President does, anyway. But appointments to the judiciary are quite another matter. Judges serve for life and can only be removed by impeachment. Historically, in this area the role of the Senate has been with that id the President. Both are responsible for the appointments. And that is as it should be. R is not possible, in my Judgement, to be too careful in making appointments to the federal bench.
