THE SALT LAKE TIMES r Dims Day BY DIANE WEILENMANN '! Among the wonderful people that I am blessed to know there are several who stand out, because they are truly charming, warm persons. One who comes to mind is a lady who has held extremely responsible positions and had great power. Another is a gentleman who is so intelligent and prominent just hearing about him could make But they you uncomfortable. are warm, sincere, kind friends they make friends rapidly and keep them forever. Watching them, I have gleaned some ideas that I want to put into my life and wondered if you would be interested in them: In order to make friends, we have to be where people are, so go places where you can meet new people, everyone is afraid, let that console, take your courage in hand and step out. When you are out, make an effort to get acquainted. Dont expect to be carried around like an African queen in an elegant satin box, high over the heads of the other people; dont wait for them to come to you. Learn peoples names. We all like our names and feel more important when someone uses it, in contrast to being called hey, you. How skillful are you at getting the other person to talk about himself? Anyone will think you are charming if you listen to them. Do you make a real point of telling people all the wonderful things you may have heard about them or their family, job, friends, etc.? Do you make a real effort to give sincere compliments? We can all smell a fake compliment, so learn to discern their concerns and compliment them. Do you fully refrain from saying or doing, even in a joke, even in a joke, anything that will make another person feel insecure or small. Do you use common courtesies which please people not interrupting, saying excuse me, I am sorry, forgive me, using good English and posture. The better we feel about our own lives and our worth, the easier it is to be kind to others. Practice being a friend and you will have them. Israeli Cultural Arts Festival Set Reapportionment Plan National PTA Selects Vetoed by Utah Oklahoma City For Convention Legislative Council Reapportionment proposals which would split counties between senatorial districts will not be heard by the Utah Legisof the lature, a Council Legislative agreed this week. The subcommittee also ruled out proposals which would add senators. The 10 member group equally divided between the Senate and House and equally divided politically, met for the first time this week to study an agreed plan under which the Legislature will reapportion itself at a spesub-committ- at-lar- ee ge cial session. Lewis H. Lloyd, Legislative Council director, outlined 30 differing plans, some of them calling for crossing county lines but after to elect senators discussion the some group elected to follow the Utah Constitu- tion and observe county lines. This leaves roughly six plans (new ones may yet be proposed) that the committee must study to find one plan to recommend to legislators for adoption. The plans could give from 23 to 30 senators (there are now 28) and from 65 to 72 representatives (there are now 69). However, the legislature .must follow the e rule so that senators and representatives each have roughly equal constituencies, with variances between districts not exceeding about 5 per cent in order to fully satisfy federal courts. Sen. Thorpe Waddingham of Delta told fellow committeemen Were obligated to make an honest effort to reapportion the legislature, but I dont want to sit here and play the numbers game at the expense of the best interests of the people in our districts. Committee members agreed with the philosophy that an attempt at reapportionment was most critical, and that built-i- n deviations between districts can be defended if the state could show the interests of the various local communities were best served by the arrangement. so-call- ed one-man- one-vot- Division Announces Art Contest Rules Recent legislation passed by the 39th Utah Legislature officially changed the name of the Division of Fish and Game to the Division of Wildlife Re- sources.
