English will be in supply and stationed at Tooele Army Depot. He enlisted in West Valley City through Sgt. Gregory Nagel, the Army Reserve recruiter for our area. Although you have not seen Sgt.

Television is here to stay. Menace?? Only if we allow it to become such.

Our world is shrinking through technology, but our minds are continually enlarging at the unlimited possibilities of television. The fruits of high technology can and should be enjoyed. But they must be controlled and prudently utilized. Then you can become master, not a servant, of your television set. Come help celebrate!!
