The pace provided by walking provides the most natural and therefore the clearest perspective of our world around us. When we have the chance, let's take leave of our homes and go for a walk. Instead of driving, how about walking to the grocer or the church, once in a while? Maybe we could walk during our lunch hour instead of raiding the buffet. ) It's easy to make walking an everyday activity. It's also a smart way to a peaceful and healthy life. enjoyed by our children recently. These people have dote an excellent job in providing a' fine selection of books and organizing the book fairs. We wish to thank also all those PTA members who have helped at both schools with the Book Fairs. From Roosevelt: Shauns Hancock, Mrs. Fredricks, Judy Cowan, Sue Trujillo, Sharon Moore, Ariinda Hicldns, Marilyn Stienmetz and Lisa Henderson. Sarah Snow was the chairman at' East Elementary and we wish to thank her and all those who assisted her. also would like to' recognize the Handy Helpers Club. This group of young people have been very helpful to us this entire year. They have helped with our traffic count and our Founders Day Fire Safety Contest and are now preparing to present information on fire safety at our annual Health Fair.

Empathize with plight of accused Dear Editor and Friends: The letter you recently printed from Lynn and LeOra Hackford has prompted me. to write in response. I would like them to know, that we certainly do empathize with your eons plight We are very curious. Why has there been no bail set for this young man? After all, we wouldn't want the city police to get bored. I would also like to respond to an article in the January 9 issue of the Uintah Basin STANDARD about Duchesne County Attorney, Dennis Draney, prosecuting sex cases.

Or chasing a monkey through the African trees, im- know the meaning of- sleepless nights and I dare you to really put yourself in the shoes of the wifomother of the accused men mentioned in that article. Yes, the custody problem was a difficult one and Im glad the kids are doing so well in their foster home, but its too bad you werent around before they were taken out of their home. I have had the opportunity to get to know and establish a dose with the family relationship mentioned in the article. I have known them to be a loving family with high principles to live by. They may not all be active members of a church as you are Mr. Draney, but after seeing how you operate, thats not saying much. What Id like to know is: who do you think you are that you can prescribe castration, as t the only cure, to a man even been tried or convicted. And to you, Blaine Pectol, it's real funny how statements made in the course of a friendly conversation can be in a legal hearing, to come out having an entirely different then was meaning originally intended.

While walking will condition muscles and lungs, its smooth rythmatic flow is gentle on the human body. In fact, a : the walker lands with only one-fift- h pressure of a runner or aerobic dancer. A nice aspect about walking is the convenience. We can walk almost ' everyday and incorporate it into any lifestyle. Finding a place to walk is just . walking. . Walking is suited to . everyone regardless of age, lifestyle or physical condition. The. human body is made for it. Nothing could be easier. .. One of our greatest thinkers, Henry David Thoreau, was a great enthusiast of walking, and even authored an essay called "Walking." Therein, Thoreau mentioned the many wholesome benifites that walking could provide to his fellow neighbors, if only they wouldn't stay in their shops all the forenoon, but afternoon too, with crossed legs, as if legs were made to sit upon and not to stand or walk upon. "I cannot preserve my health and spirits," wrote Thoreau, "unless 1 spend four hours a day, qt least sauntering through the woods and over the. hillls and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements." Not only is walking our easiest form of transportaion, it provides many latent UKE MYMAMA WANTED BUT, NO, I AMP TO advantages. One of course is the mental clarity that walking can provide, and the V. :v; other is physical fitness. Walking has become noted as an ex- cel lent source of exercises.

There has been a thorough investigation and the prosecution has a strong case. No one has ever bothered to get the other side of the story through this very thorough investigation. What happens, Mr. Draney, if it all turns out to be a very, carefully thought-ou- t scheme by someone .whos out to get this family? What will you do then? Let it elide?
