According to Anthon, One out of every five boys reaches higher than First Class Scout standing. The special rewards of reaching the rank of Eagle Scout are many and well worth the work.

The percentage of those supporting the issue increased from 57 percent to 61 percent when those previously opposed were asked if they would favor the project if a grant would pay 75 percent or more of the cost rather than 50 percent. Another indication is that 43 percent of those opposed stated their main objection was the expense. Legaz stated that by com- though Smithfield, the class found their sampling of residents to be 8 percent accurate. Actual population figures show, for example that 19.7 percent of the city residents are between the ages of 30 and 39. Of the survey sampling 18.9 percent of the 233 varying degrees, the report 97-9- showed. Of those interviewed all were between the ages of 20 and 89 years of age.

Those between the 9 favored the ages of proposal by 66 percent, while of those in the 80-8-9 years of age group only 17 percent favored the project. The 4049 years age group favored the proposal by 76 percent. This result, according to class members, is probably due to the generally decreased income of those over 80 years of age. As further evidence of this the class found as the annual in residents interviewed ' fell within that age group indicating only a' small margin for error.

Memories of Sleighs With Jingling Bells And The Clarion Calls Milk, Milk! by Ralph C. Jones In Cache Valley a driving north wind loaded with snow can change our environment from various colors and shades to one glistening white. At this hour of sudden change, mankind pauses, perhaps for a moment, or maybe minutes, and contemplates. Memory brings back to me a picture of sixty years ago, here in the hamlet of Newton. At 5:00 a.m. my older brother Joseph and myself, ages 13 and 11 respectively, are already dressed in clothing suitable to face the wintry elements. With buckets, strainer, and kerosene lantern in hand we purposefully and slowly shuffle our feet through the new fallen snow on our way to the barn, a third of a block away. The gleam of a lantern light one block away and slowly moving eastward informs us that Mr. J. F. Hansen and his sons, Wilford, Joe, and Fred are going to feed and water the horses and milk the cows. The Hansen family must care for their horses, because the milk from Newton is hauled by them to Smithfield, 10 miles away. A team of horses hitched to a on which was a rack four cans wide, and long enough to carry all the cans sent from Newton was the basis of these open - air vehicles. The milk man", as he was affectionately referred to, faced the elements, dressed to meet the changing climatic conditions. Drifting snow-fille- d roadways g made an arduous task. Four head of horses were often used; one team ahead of another. On stormy days milk bob-sleig- h, milk-haulin- cans were not back until milking time in the late after noon. When blinding blizzards were blowing, the trip could not be made at all. Farmers had to place the cans on a stand built near the curb of the street. If a farmer was late getting the cans out to be picked up, the clear clarion call of Milk! Milk!" could be heard over the town. Today roads, powerful snow plows, and large refrigerated trucks, have taken the place of bob sleighs, teams of horses, jingling sleigh bells, and clarion calls of Milk! Milk! , And on Christmas Day the milk does not have to be at the factory by 7:00 a.m. My brother and I dig the drifted snow from the feed-wa- y door. The soft light of the kerosene lantern reflects back from the large eyes of six beautiful horses. They extend The children of George L. and Mary Jooes; standing, Mary and their heads toward us for a gen- - Eliza, seated, Joseph and Ralph C. hard-surfac- tie pat on the neck beneath a flowing mane. And as we call each one by name they in turn answer with soft whinnies. We give to each a small quantity of hay which they slowly and softly crunch between their grinding molars, in contented confidence of beast toward man. We enter the wider feed-wa- y ahead of the cows. Large glistening eyes and alert ears are turned toward us as each cow softly moos in appreciation of the hay we give her. The animals have no fear of man; only peace in lantern-ligh- t s. shadows and and two Part of the feed-wa- y extra mangers and stalls have clean, golden straw in them.
