Weather 3II a si Rrings Rain While Florida or sunny California may be having cold snaps, ice, snow and zero weather, locally we are basking in warm rains. Chamber of Commerce kind-ly take note.

The article says; "If you want a demonstration of a CCA man thoroughly engross-ed In doing a conscientious job for the taxpayer, take a look at Ray Steele, Airways Maintenance Technician at Delta, Utah. The City of Delta wouldn't hes-itate either in endorsing him as being one of their most public spirited citizens. Ray has done a bang-u- p job as the AMT in the Delta sector. As proof of the pudding, we were privileged to observe personally the condition of much of his equip-ment. With his branch chief mak-ing an obrervation, Ray, in his typical wisecracking manner, uttered such expressions as "My name will be mud if this generator doesn't crank up. Whew! Runs like a top; I'll live a year longer now." At every spot visited it was the same nt in good condition, building clean with every evidence that all was under control. Comparivily, Ray is no old-tim-to CCA, either. He pitched in with us in January of 1945 as a general' mechanic and transferred to an airways mechanician to Winslow, Ariz., in Sept., 1945. He moved into his present spot in October of 1946. His achievements in the electro-mechanical field are somewhat glamorized when we turn back the clock. Back in 1931, he sustained a broken back and spent a year and a half in bed. The chances of re-covery where he could perform arduous duties were dim. He sur-prised everyone. Today he is wound tight and geared high. As proof of this, he is extremely active in the Delta community life. He is second of the Delta Lions, drama director of the young folks, Noble Grand of the Odd Fellows, and a teacher in the Sen-ior Aaronic priesthood. If you would like to have a busy day on your schedule, then we would invite you to follow Ray Steele around as he whistles through one day's activities." Howard Brings Recovers After Fall of 30 Feet Howard Billings, a patient at Tooele county hospital at Tooele, being treated for injuries received in a fall Thursday, Dec. 4, is now on the road to recovery.

Delta Firemen Help Quench Fillmore Fire Fire at Fillmore early Monday left ruin In its wake when it de-molished the Farmers Equipment company and damaged the adjoin-ing Awalon theatre to the south, and Fillmore Hotel, to the north. Total damage was estimated at $100,000. LaVoy Kimball owner of the equipment estimated damage to his pliant, including new arid used tractors and a new truck, at $90,000. About $5,000 damages each to the adjoining buildings was estimated, due largely from water and heat on the masonry. The fire was discovered shortly before 7 a.m., and gained head-way rapidly. Flames and smoke were billowing through the rooj and it was reported that the suc-- t tion was so intense that no one "was able to enter the building for fear of being drawn into the blaze. I A barrel of oil in the building burst and added to the flames. Ammunition in stock was exploded and for a time it was thought the inferno would spread through the whole block. Delta Called The Delta Volunteer Fire Dept. was called to help light the fire, and within 40 minute arrived on the scene, with a crew of nine men, headed by Fire Chief, Reed Wood. Nephl was called also, but their equipment was turned back at Sciplo, as within an hour the fire was under control. The Delta department gave con-siderable help, according to F. A." Bennett, Fillmore fire chief. Hund-reds of townspeople were also on hand to help. Cause of the fire has not been ! determined yet, but is being invest igated. When the roof of the burn-- . ing building caved in, that helped to smother the flames. Fortunately for Fillmore there was no wind that early morning. If there had been a breeze the flames may have done much more damage. LWS Leader To ITcast Sunday On December 21, the Sunday preceding Christmas, President Stephen L.

Find Out What Worries You TWO YEARS AGO Roy H. Jackson, Beaumont, Texas, found himself with a severe case of indigestion, which continued without relief for a period of six or eight months. He consulted one doctor who could find nothing wrong, then he went to another who, after extensive tests, said he was on the verge of ulcers, adding that this condition was caused by worry and lack of relaxation. The only thing that would clear up this condition would be to relax more and stop worrying. Roy immediately cut down on his working hours and figured out just what he was worrying about; was it his financial condition? True enough he owed money but his payments were arranged so that he could meet them without strain, and he was living within his means, so he really had no financial worries. CARNEGIE Was it fear of losing his job, and what would happen if he did? He prided himself on being able to hold down his job, and even if he should lose it he felt sure that he could get another one. Anyway, very few people have ever starved to death because they could not find some kind of work, so that particular worry and fear was out. Was he in love with some one else and afraid of being found out? Certainly not for he knew that he had the most wonderful wife in the world and his home life was as happy as he could wish. After this self analysis he found that he really had nothing to worry about, so he stopped worrying. Immediately a great load had been taken off his chest, and since that time he has felt won-derful. His suggestion to any of you readers who may be worrying is: If you are worrying, find out what your worries are and a way tr stop them; you will be healthier and happier.
