Show THE WORD FROM BOULDER i BY NETHELLA GRIFFIN A surprisingly large number of readers have urged me to resume writing the column. They claim they like my commentary efforts better than the straight news happenings, Well, after a few weeks rest, I think it possible that I can mako .the necessary effort, providing, ot course, that the 1 editor still has room io: it. JJ (Editor: Welcome Horn . from All in Garfield Cju- , t I returned Fr.day au.. spending the past six wt-e 1 Garland with my sutei oiuu. wnllo her broKeii pelvic oon was mending. Witn a pair oi crutches, a doughnut-shapeu chair cushion, and an extra amount of fortitude, she is now back at her teaching job. When people ask me a 1 am living alone, 4 usually say, "Well, nut exactly.'' You see, I have a dog, a huge Collie, which for comfort is next best to a human being. No matter at what time of day or night I return he is always there to greet me with a warmth and enthusiasm that no one else, except perhaps a child, could muster. The weight of years are beginning to show on him, and I am glad U note that advancing age his brought him wisdom. He usel to take it hard when I'd leavo would try desperately to taxe suitcases away from mo when he'd see me loading them into the car; and when I returned from the first long absence, he looted and acted like what he thought he was the saddest of all creatures, an abandoned do.

Wells Itobblns of Sci pio, former president of tho Utah Cattlemen, was elected as second vice-president of the national organization. This was-lhe first time In eleven years that Utah has been represented among the national officers. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Find-ley of Kanab left their cat here and accompanied the Kings to Omaha, going byway of Circle Cliffs. They returned by tho same route, thus saving about 450 miles on the trip.

So you sec, II you contemplate a trip east In the winter time, the route through Boulder is the one to take If you want to shorten distance and avoid the higher mountains In Colorado. By the way, our people are still using the cast-end mountain road to go to Richfield. Well, there are some compensations for a dry winter. I notice a few new things in the neighborhood.
