All of this gravel would then have to be scraped and hauled off which took days to accomplish. Mr. Oscarson said that Deer Creek Reservoir had made a big difference to this area. He said that the North Union and Big Bench canls have first rights of the Provo River. During his tenure as water master, Bob has believed that if you are decent with people, they will be decent with you. For this reason, he believes, there has been few water problems in the town since he has served as water master. A native of Pleasant Grove, Bob was born and raised in the house he lives in now. Originally there were 25 acres which grew fruit trees and berries. He said that frost is a severe problem where he lives, just at the base of the bench on 200 South. He added that in the 1950's they were froze out more often than not. His father farmed the land, too, and Bob trucked fruit to Arizona during the depression and they were able to survive quite well doing that. He now has six acres of fruit trees which he cares for in addition to his work as water master. People traveling 200 South also realize he has an enormous garden in front of his home. Now 70 years old, Bob was 50 years of age when he finally had to go to work to make ends meet when the frosts began taking each year's crop of fruit. He worked at Mountain States Steel and also with the state road depart-ment. He had to quit work when a steel beam fell and took the back part of his foot off. Bob has been a member of the Pleasant Grove City Council and also served as a tax assessor. He used to go hunting but now enjoys doing temple work in his spare time. Active in the Pleasant Grove Ninth Ward, Bob is a High Priest and he and his wife are the ward welfare coor-dinators for the cannery. He enjoyed helping his son, Bob, work with antiques. Bob is married to the former Betty Burningham of Orem. They had nine children in 12 and. one-ha- lf years, which kept Betty really busy. They have 33 grandchildren. Betty works part-tim- e at Utah Valley Hospital in the lab. Her hobby is oil painting. ) ' 7 ft ftt , , --v f : ) 1 ' 1 V ?

He tins year expects normal runoff despite heavy snows. PGBSlub Marcella Walker has given them back to us. My aunt did the same thing. Everytime I'm to see her in Oregon she gives me her junk. It is nice junk, too, and I treasure it. Some of it is pictures of me when I was little that my parents sent to her as I grew up. Old wedding invitations, high school and college graduation an-nouncements, trinkets, etc., all are passed on. What it all boils down to is that people (some people) cannot bear to discard things so they give them to someone else, like me, who cannot bear to discard things either. The giver is consoled thinking they will not be destroyed within their sight and the givee is consoled by thinking that they can give the stuff to one of their children who likes to keep things at some future date. It is kind of fun to read these old newspapers, though. In an issue of The Daily Drovers Telegram of Kansas City, Mo., for Monday, June 7, 1915 there are some valuable items. Such as: A simple dislodge a fishbone or anythi! throat is to fasten a button J a string: swallow the button the string. No difficulty frl this simple method and it will remove the obstruction withal certainty. Or this: For indigestion drij) of hot water one-ha- lf how meals. A little Worcestershire rubbed on the gums of ana will stop the pain almos mediately. For a sprain beat salt into th, of one egg until it is of the consi of an ordinary mustard p spread on a cloth and apply part affected. When you get something in y( take a hair from your head t loop of it, raise the eyelid and; the loop. Wink the eye severa and then pull out the haii troublesome object will cling ti come out, too. My mother has done it again ! She began cleaning out her junk. Every time she does this it puts me in a quandry because she gives me the nicest junk and I cherish it and don't know exactly where to put it. Her "junk" happens to be some of her old baby dresses, some of my grandmother's school papers from 1902, some newspapers from the early 1900's, a watch she used when she taught school in the early '30's, and postcards from the early part of this century. You need to save and preserve these things and I'm not too good at it. Now if it was Bliss Brimley there would be no problem, she can and has saved and preserved all types of old things. I'm scared to touch them for fear they will be destroyed. Every once in a while Mama cleans out. She does it in spurts and I fear I am like her alot. I don't like to get rid of things all at once. It needs to be spread out over a period of time so your psyche can adjust to the loss. It is like trying to get rid of my husbands old clothes. He will dig them out of the rag bag unless I cut off the buttons and take out the zippers. I go to some people's houses, like Beth Peterson's for instance, and you feel that they have no junk. There is none in sight. Our's is always in sight. My great-uncl- e was a collector. You could scarcely get into his room because of the floor to ceiling stacks of newspapers, old seed catalogs (he was a nurseryman) and old magazines. All the room was filled with only a bed and a small walkway to the bed between the collections. My mom gives me back all the trinkets I gave her as a child. My brothers and I used to go to Kress's and Woolworths and buy her mother's day and birthday presents. We would get all kinds of knick-knack- s for 25 cents or 50 cents. They accumulated quickly and like all mothers, she displayed them proudly. But now she The Funny JSone Dad grumbled under his breath, "that's funny." He went around the entire car, telling mom to pump the brake when he was ready, and shaking his head each time. Mom, looking off into space was only slightly concerned with dad's quizzical comments coming out from under the car. You see, my mother was in the midst of having seven children, and was, to say the least, preoccupied. As the mother of five, I now think I un- - derjtand this story. To continue ... My dad final around and looking at mo started to laugh. All this time was pumping the gas pedal hard to work on the brakes kind of help! They both laughed, all tl mom blushing. This story is one of malf communication. Not thelacki the sense of humor that my had in laughing at themsel with each other. By MARY COONS I had a friend say something to me a long time ago that has played on my mind many times. She said that constitutional amendments and burning bras aside, that men and " women need to learn to talk together. At first, after she said it, I thought, "My husband and I talk each other's ears off." Then, I thought about the many cartoons in newspapers arid magazines that involve the theme' of men and women talking to each other. But do we really hear each other, I wonder? When we're dating and thinking of marriage with someone, do we tell them that we have never made a bed in our life, and that gourmet cooking is macaroni and cheese. Ho-H- o, we sure don't! We bop along through the courtship having our sweety over to a homemade dinner that mother ac-tually made. Oh, we don't tell our intended that. We don't actually lie, we just, 'skirt,' the issue when he looks at us and asks if the meal is homemade, and we say, shyly, 'yes.' My favorite communication story s. between the sexes was the one. my mom and dad told. Dad loved to tell it, and mom loved to conveniently leave the room when he did. Dad asked mom to help him one day as he bled the brakes on our 1957 Chevy station wagon. He needed her to pump the brakes while he laid underneath the car and bled them (whatever that means) . He started with the left front brake. He called to mom, "pump the brake." Mom proceeded to push the pedal down vigorously. Architect Appointed The Alpine School District board of education has approved the ap-pointment of Eric Sandstrom and Associates to begin plans for an elementary school in Northeast Orem. Board members postponed ap-pointment of an architectual firm to start on a junior higlvschool for the Orem area, feeling more study of qualifications was needed. ' At the last board meeting, ten ar-chitectural firms made presen-tations, Dr. Max B. Welcker, superintendent said. Since that time, board members have reviewed qualifications of the firms and their work. Supt. Welcker recommended Eric Sandstrom and Associates for the elementary school and Fowler, Ferguson, Kingston and Ruben for the new junior high school. Dr. Richard Heaps, a member of the board questioned using the Fowler firm, and said he felt Dana, Larson, Roubal and Associates would do " an excellent job." Board members made the decision to postpone the appointment until their next meeting. "It is anticipated that plans for an elementary school could be ready by " late summer and a bid held at that time, - with construction to begin immediately following the bid opening so that the building would be ready for use at the beginning of the school year in the fall of 1983," Dr. Welcker expalined. He said a junior high school plan will take at least nine months to prepare and be approved. "This would allow a bid date opening in the month of January or February of 1983. It will take approximately two years to construct the building," he said. Local Artist to Display Work in One-Ma- n Show Carefully the cowboy guides his horse around the stacked spools of barbed wire on the ground. His face reflects a mixture of suspicion and disdain. It's "The End of the Open Range," just one of the works by noted western artist Grant Speed that will be part of a special one-ma- n exhibit at Brigham Young University April Speed's blend of artistry and history, his combination of the spirit of a scene and authenticity, are ap-parent in each of the more than two dozen sculptures he will be showing. Among them: "There Never was a Horse that Couldn't Be Rode," "First Feel of the Hackamore," "Fightin' His Way Out of an Ambush" and "The Lawman." His sculptures will be displayed on the third level of the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, which is sponsoring the show. It will be open to the public at no charge from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays (9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays) and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. His work has been shown by exhibitors and galleries in several U.S. cities, in Mexico and in Europe. As western art has grown in popularity in recent years, Speed's prominence has grown with it. "We can sell out an edition of his work before it's even cast," says Candy Bedner of the Texas Art Gallery in Dallas. "I have as many customers in New York City who buy his work as I do here in Dallas." Speed's work is known for its detail and authenticity, as well as for the "feel" it projects. It has to have all those ingredients, he explains, because "I'm really trying to satisfy three different groups": cowboys, art critics and historians. The authenticity comes from research as well as from his own knowledge and love of his subject. The walls of his Lindon studio are lined with books about the West and its history, and with antique saddles, gunbelts, pistols and rifles, and In-dian costumes. His own works and the works of other western artists are displayed throughout this home. While he admires some movie makers and stars (one of his current, commissions is a project involving John Wayne), Speed says Hollywood rarely gets that authentic "feel" when focusing on the Old West. "The cowboy life is really much more interesting than anything you see on the screen. It would take three lifetimes to learn all the technical knowledge involved," he says. His challenge is to avoid becoming "so technical that it takes away from the artistic." Does he pull it off? Consider the sculpture "Following the Bell Mare." A ridder on a mule urges three pack mules forward along a narrow trail as a mare wearing a bell, in the lead, turns to see why the reluctant animals are not following her tinkling signaL one can see the taut muscles in her neck, the clapper of the bell and - almost - the fire in her eyes.
