Each year in June, the Coalville and Kamas offices seem to take on a very hectic atmosphere. Its not that we are necessarily busier, though we may be. But there is a constant nagging question that is with us. what can we do special for the issues of the Bee that comes out just before the Oakley Rodeo, Kamas Fiesta Days and the Summit County Fair? Something new that has not run before that will excite the people and let them know that the Bee is behind them and wishes to support them 100 percent". For the Oakley Rodeo, we have printed articles on the rodeos, the people and the town. We would love to find something wild and exciting, but so far, not an inkling has developed in our minds. Do we have a contributor out there somewhere who would ' like to submit something special about Oakley's July 4 Rodeo andor a special picture we could use? We don't rest easy after July 4. Right on its heels comes Kamas Fiesta Days July 24. For Fiesta Days, we work on a tabloid which includes ads from the different businesses. To do it really right, we like to add copy to this tabloid. We have featured the new South Summit Seminary building, organization of Fiesta Days, history of Kamas Valley, Lewis Feild, bronc rider, Kamas Melodrama, bullfighters, early music, Rhodes Valley Fort, special homes, past princesses, Weber Canyon, sawmills, Kamas businesses, mayors, Fiesta Day queens, High Uintas and Sage Bottom Fort. Same request goes out to everyone. Do you have something you would like to contribute to jur Fiesta Days Tabloid? Now for the biggie. In August is our Summit County Fair. You might think this would be simple with a big area to cover. NO. 525640 However, after doing several years, the mind starts to run dry. The subjects we have covered in years past are extension service, clubs in our county, history of Summit County, chambers, senior citizens, DUP, Summit County courthouse. Summit County doctors. Summit County Hospital, Summit County Bee, all the towns in Summit County, Kimball's Ranch and Parley Park, how our towns were named, Hoyts home in Hoytsville and Marion, Blackhawk War in Summit County, Echo Canyon, post offices, Rockport and Echo Reservoir and Park Citys new library. We are accepting requests for articles or articles already written, for the Summit County Fair Tabloid. Maybe this seems early, but tabloids, because of the extra work, must be ready for print three weeks before they are to come out in the Bee. If you have any suggestions or pictures we would be more than happy to hear from you. It may be something so simple, you wonder why we have not used it before or something of interest to many but known by only a few. Our request is HELP. Call either office during office hours or come see us. We are open for suggestions. JUST THOUGHTS From Bessies Collection Advice to speakers: If you don't strike oil in 20 minutes, stop boring.

It was one of the few times I would be able to sleep in without dis- turbance. Finally, one eye braved the light of day and popped open. Glancing at the clock, it decided it was worth . attempting another hour of sleep. Rolling over to my left side I nestled my head a little deeper into the beckoning pillow. Fathers Day was getting off to a wonderful start. The hour drifted into two. I was awakened by the soft sigh of the door as little hands gently brushed by it in an effort to check if dad was awake yet. Keeping my eyes partially closed, I feigned sleep. A soft nudge made it impossible to fake it any longer. Pieter was softly shaking my shoulder asking if I was awake. With the vanishing of my resolve I grabbed little Pieter and gave him a hug, a kiss, and held him up at arms length' while tickling him. Then, I sat up ready to meet the day. Before I could do anything else, Pieter disappeared only to return with the rest of the gang and a beautiful breakfast tray. Diana sat beside me on the bed and arranged my pillow prepar- - The Kids (and Dogs) of Summer are back...- - ing a site for the tray. After a tender she hug instructed Jacob to set the tray .down. What a way to start a day. As the day progressed it seemed unreal that my family could care so much for a rather well used and kiss middle-age- d man. My faults were forgotten. My appearance seemed to make little or no difference. It sure was nice to be loved and accepted for what I was. All the boys and girls sensed my every need and did all they could to make it special for me, a day not to be forgotten. When night came, the kids disappeared as if by magic. The livingroom had been transformed into an elegant and romantic scene. The waiter (Jacob) and the hostess (Antje) seated Diana and myself. Strolling minstrals (the younger kids) entered the room singing some of their favorite church songs that had to do with fathers. Then, Marie accompanied Jacob as the food was brought in the room on silver platters. It was fantastic. All of a sudden there was a weight hitting me right in the chest. It ascended and descended repeatedly. Finally I was able to force the left eyelid to lift ever so slightly. I was greeted with a shout of Happy Father's Day, Pop!" It was a viscious but friendly Sunday morning routine I have endured for quite some time. Then it struck me that my perfect Father's Day had vanished with the friendly but rude awakening that met me this fine morning especially for the dads of our specie. Oh, well, many other unbelievable dreams had vanished as easily other mornings. But, I wasn't disappointed. ' Just like in the dream, I was the recipient (or should I say victim?) of a breakfast made by good ol Pieter, all by himself. If dark brown and blades are your idea of beautiful, then, you would think this the most beautiful tray to ever be placed before man. Unfortunately the toast broke one of my front teeth. Luckly, Splotch, the family dog, saved the day by helping me do 'away with the brownish eggs and charred bacon. The rest of the day did come close to the dream, the kids didnt hit me up for this, that, and the other, as usual. It was rather restful just not doing all that was usually asked of me. So it wasnt perfect, but it will be a day 1 will look back on with fondness. Isnt that what living really U?
