Show 1 i. ! 1 bfcii ' By Earl Roe 676-2376 The signs say that summer has finajly come to our area. Road crews are repairing the highways and I can be on Panguitch Lake after af-ter sundown without donning winter win-ter clothing. I am certain that everyone ev-eryone knows that our beautiful state is 100 years old next year. Garfield County's Centennial Committee, chaired by Wallace Lee, is preparing for this big event. Many activities are being planned for the future, but for now be on the lookout for T-shirts, calendars, and the dunking pond at the county fair next month. The terminal at Bryce Canyon Airport will be ready for occupancy next week, however, the grand opening is still a month or two away, but be ready for a real bang-up affair.

Kenny and Heather Allen of Panguitch are the proud parents of a baby girl, Sierra Dawn, born June 26, 1995 at the Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City.

I believe we all felt honored when we learned that our fail -y had been selected to be the sits of the only Burma-Shave type signs in the whole state. Now we find that 'all that glitters is not gold'. One of our federal bureaucracies insist that our city pay $100 to plac? each one of these signs on private property prop-erty bordering the highway right-of-way plus a yearly maintanance fee. What a bummer! It looks to me like some changes in government are sorely needed. For you old-timers who remember remem-ber the fun of reading the Burma-Shave Burma-Shave signs as you traveled the highways, the some sent to us by Reminisce Magazine reads: "We played marbles and climbed in trees: A now kids can't play without batteries." batter-ies." -Reminisce. I remember reading read-ing these signs all the way to Salt Lake City, but the only one I remember re-member was just beyond the Point Of The Mountain. It read: The bend was sharp, the car was whizzin; the fault was hers, the funeral fu-neral hisin. Burma Shave. Perhaps some of you can remember some of these and send them to me. I am sure that many of our readers would like to hear them again. Evidently, our big GHSPHS reunion was not organized as well as we were told and will not be the big event this year, but there are many class reunions being held so there will be many old friends to visit and share memories.

Anyone who wishes will be given an opportunity to be part of the program, so come join our annual homecoming fun. |
