Mrs. Mary Moosnuut Mrs. .Mary Moosman celebrated her seventy-ninth birthday last Thursday by weaving two new rag rugs. Oils Is only half her usually dally production. Formerly he wou a many as six In a day. She confesses that she has "slowed up some" In late years. Asked to estimate how many rugs she has mad? In the dozen years since she boughtfher loom, she laujhed, V "Well I kept count till It was - bettern two thousand. That was two years ago. I guess I've done at least another thousand since then." In addition to her weaving, Mrs. Moosman does all the cooking and 'housework In the confortable six-room house where she and her husband live. The weaving room Is a refurnished gralnery. "The work Is too dirty, she says, "to Utter up the house with." The Moosmans observed their sixty-third wedding anniversary on October 1. (She wove two rugs that day, also.) They haw had twelve children, nine of whom survive. They have 69 grandchildren and 54 great grandchildren, one of the latter being married; We who helped to crowd the Escalante South, ward church to Its. capacity last Sunday felt tha( we witnessed an historic actios as we saw the Garfield Stake severed-and Its two parts Joined with different halves of the Panguitch Stake. The realignment will undoubtedly elm. pllfy travel by the leaders or both stakes. It will also add to the urgency of getting the B r y c e-to-Escalante highway completed. This would be accomplished sooner if our peo- pie would unite in more Insistent demands on the state highway commission. We should somehow, convince them that our needs AreTiot forever to'be shunted to the tall end. When the people of a neighboring community Cedar City have the .nerve to ask for the expenditure ot several million dollars for a mountain road for purely recreational use, surely we should not hesitate to ask for this, east-west1 lifeline for our county. A someone remarked recently, these public Improvements do not come to us on a platler; we have to take Interest enough to work for them. |
