Show The Word From Boulder BY NET,,ELLA t Leland Haws returned Saturday from Washington, D.C. iwhcrc he and other officials k of GarKane Power Association Jnet with federal engineers to work out final details of the construction of the REA plant o n the Boulder Creek. Mr. Haws reports that all wrinkles were ironed out and that construction should begin on the project within the next three weeks. Mrs. Haws accompanied him to Salt Lake where she visited with her daughter while he made the trip to Washington by airplane. Three carsfull of us went to Teasdale Friday for the funeral of Mrs. Frances Moosman Coleman. Since the mountain road is not yet open, two prouns of us went bv way of Circle Cliffs and Capitol Reef. We found the road in good condition thanks to grading that has recently been done by the county road workers. It took us a little less time than was used by those who went by the Escalante Antl-monv route, even though we made several stops and drove slowly to allow those of our party who were making the trip for the first time to admire the scenery. In spite of unfavorable weather many of us joined picnickers from Escalante for an Easter outing Saturday" at Calf Creek. Spring comes a week or so earlier down there than here. The air was fairly warm, the cottonwoods were leafing out, and the kids who fell in the creek (as they always do. more or less accidentally) reported hat the water was not very cold. A majority of the Boulder people attended Stake conference at the Escalante South ward on Sunday. Everyono agreed that it was an exceptionally good conference. A highlight was the excellent Easter sermon of Elder Adam S. Bennion of the Council of the Twelve. Visitors from out of the stake included former President and Mrs. Douglas Cannon of Circleville and Wayne Stake President Voylo Munson of Loa. A number of us attended the funeral of Mrs. Rachel Shurtz on Monday at Escalante. Mrs. Neta Poulsen returned Saturday from . Clearfield where she has been taking care of her daughter Dorothy Jean (Mrs. Sherrill Alvey) who has been seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Ormond left Monday for a Salt Lake hospital where Glen will un-dergo a major operation. Johnny King and Gerald Thompson of Provo were weekend visitors at the Otto Haws home. Two items that I failed to mention last week: Ten Boulder boys received their certificate of merit at Sunday Sacrament meeting for having completed their first year's 4-H club project. The boys, each of whom succeeded in a calf feeding pro-'. "t, were Elvon Poulsen, Val ' "mi Haws. Gary Wayne Haws, ard Coombs, Lonny Coombs, Wesley Baker, Wayne Baker. Marvin Baker, Jimmy Peterson and Paul Hansen, The awards were presented by Ivan Lyman, club leader. Also at Sacrament meeting the baby son of Mr. and Mrs. LeFair Hall was blessed and given the name Randy Kay. Barbara and Max LaBrier were grieved to find a particularly vicious piece of vandalism had been perpetrated at their place when they returned to it Saturday morning. The windows of their house had been smashed with, rocks which had also broken the sashes and damaged some furnishings inside the room The LaBricrs have struggled against great odds to get their place on the Escalante Creek established, making long cold trips from Kanab all through the fall and winter to get some building done. They will appreciate any help in identifying the culprits. Efforts should be made by parents and teachers to impress thoughtless youngsters with the seriousness of such acts. Probably the best snowstorm that ever fell on any April' 22 is pouring down on. usozJay. It is very wet just what we've been asking for! ' |
