Show The Word from Boulder BY IRENE KING By next week I think Ne-thella will be back to write "The Word", so today I am going to tell you some of the substance of dreams. To me Garfield County is the most beautiful county any where. We have a bigger variety of scenery than any other county; each town is unique in its setting. . Consider each town: Panguitch with its wide open spaces and dark rolling hills; Tropic with Bryce towering on ane side and the Blues and Pink point on the other; Can-nonville at the foot of high red ledges; Henrieville agr ainst sculptured creamy grey; Escalante, a background of white sandstone, blue mountain on one side and the long beckoning points of the 50 mile mountain along the desert sweep the other horizon; when you top the rocks and see Boulder at the foot of a big blue mountain surrounded by white ledges did you ever think "How Green is my Valley?" Here are the dreams: For years I have thought the most interesting thing in Panguitch was the variety of picket fences as you came in from the north. I am not alono in this, many visitors mention I he fences. I would like to see everyone have a picket fence, all kinds and styles, but ALL painted white, a fitting out-l'ne for wide beautiful streets. Don't you think it would really be something if everyone in Tropic had pink flowers pink petunias along the high way, pink roses over fences pink every where. For Cannonville I would want everyone to have a green roof and white fences. Henrieville could top all our towns if every house, fence and building was painted white with various shades o grey for every roof. Fn Escalante I'd have white ra 1 fences around every block except in front of each house where they could express their individuality. In Boulder I'd like groves of apple and spruce trees. Could you imagine apple blossom time come spring? Of course all the apples would be red, so how about harvest time too. End of dreams. Last Monday as the school bus came home they passed a, "tramp" along Calf Creek. Tuesday he arrived in Boulder where he went up the Boulder creek and spent the day. Wednesday morning he came to my place and asked for some supplies and breakfast. He said his name was Olsen and he had come from Montana, a prospector. We gave him food and he left, headed for Circle Cliffs. There has been a lot of travel back and forth to the Cliffs, but we can't find anyone who has seen him. His tracks disappear near" Deer Creek. Each day since he left the weather has been colder. We don't know whether he was picked up by someone, or is lost. Silver Spur mines are getting ready for active mining again. A uranium mill is part of their plans for this year. Wednesday LaRena Hall, Golda Haws, Veda Behunln, Dorthy Lyman, Renon Peterson, Clea Baker, and Neta Poulsen went to Escalante and surprised Flora Baker with a birthday party. Thursday Nina Moosman and I visited in Escalante In the evening the Boulder Ladies Club met at the home of Clea Baker. Max Wilson, my nephew, went to Salt Lake to visit his mother and to attend the basketball tournament in Provo over the weekend. On Friday Clyde and I made a circle of the Cliffs to look at cattle, visited the fence building crew and lunched at a mine. Neal Jepsen came back with us. That evening Mr. and Mrs. Lafay Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Robinson, Dell and Sharon LeFevre, Farlan B?-hunln, Donald Moosman, and Jerry Coleman attended the Stake Ross- Prom at Tropic. Also that evening Fred and Fern Johnson and family of Salt Lake came to visit the Parley Colemar . and to butcher iome pigs. They left for home Sunday. Saturday Mac LeFevre received word his sister Mrs. Clara Schlatter had died In Salt Lake City. The LeFevre family left Sunday to attend her funeral. Also Saturday Larry Coombs came home for the weekend from Cedar City. Sunday the main concern i of everyone was the weather, which was a blaster. |
