Finally however on Sept. 7, 1872 General H. A. Morrow Commandant at Fort Douglas effected a treaty with the chiefs at Mt. Pleasant. Some of the chiefs were Tabiona, Angizebl, White Hare., With General Morrow was Apostle Orson Hyde, Bishops Wm. S. Seely, Amasa Tucker, Fredrick Olsen, Col. Reddick N.

I had intended to use my allotted space to speak not of the olden times. To use a teen age expression, I had intended to write concerning "gutter gazing", that new and delightful custom of today or rather, shall I say, tonight. (Please don't debase the custom of saying "gudder gazing", Speak the word trippingly on the tongue, or the lift, the lilt of the word "gutter is lost). For years I had yearned to watch from the curb the passing townsfolk as they idled for and the other Main Street, along years of to west on of the old Ford the half nose my family pointed main there to park it the livelong evening while bigger, better cars guttergazed. I had never known the true and proper name for such entertainment. One day I learned it, and over a heaping dish of strawberries and cream, flanked by home made bread, I launched said name in the direction of the other half of my family, who, by the way was behind those heaping strawberries, not I. The very charm of those words, guttergaze, worked a magic and now we join the crowds on main street. If you do not already belong to the Gay and Gladsome Guild cf Guttergazers take out an immediate membership, draw your car along the curb and spend a delightful evening: learn to frnow your bridge cronies, minus their cards, make a date with your hair dresser: speak to your banker about an extension on that loan; chat for the first time in months with the neighbor next door; change your appointment with your dentist; make arrangements for an aerial photograph in your back garden(Reed flies, you know): buy a Saturday Evening Post and drink a bottle of pop; learn for sure whether filet mignon is round steak in and tails or a new Hollywood glamour-girl- ; t finish the afghan by the light of the neons; watch a better (Snooks) Charles and tired Lesrevich fight than Ezzard last week: on put patch up that misunderstanding with whomever and whatever in short, guttergaze and live one of our towns quaintest customs. Because of guttergazing merchants are making their window displays more attractive; from restaurants no longer comes the smell of the lowly onions; now tantalizing, nosetickling mouth watering aromas invite the gazers to come and eat. No longer do we need to cope with slick, hard cones that slip with the greatest of ease to the sidewalk; now super cones are soft and pycicles intrique. You see, it really pays to advertize when Main Street from State to 1st west is a solid bank of gazers.

That just skittered in through the kitchen window and out the front door reminds me that fall is peeking at us round the corner of the house. The calendar tells me September is just next week a way. The subdued light on the trees brings back a memory of the first September I spent in Mt. Pleasant. That was a long time ago, so long indeed that I now have a life membership in the Mt. Pleasant Old Times" Club and in a very few years I shall be elegible to be sixth of the Order of Native Sons. here, crunching a carrot and planning just Sitting when to make my pickled beets ( one of Mt. Pleasants noblest institutions), I recall it was high noon as I stepped off the Sanpete Swift and became a part of what was to become my town. Triumphantly clutching in one hand my sheep skin tied with the crimson ribbon of the University of Utah oh, yes, I am a Utah man, sir and lugging an oversized valise in the other, I made my first climb aip the steep ascent of main street. Like Columbus, I trudged on, and on, and on; then, Excelsior! I dropped limp but victorious into Fanny Miles's best chair. My alma mater had educated me; my victorious ascent had tested and proved that I could take whatever late might give me. I came to stay a year; I remained to live a life time. And how little I knew on that far off day of joy awaiting me through the years. Hot and cindery as I was, I liked the town that first day; I love" it now. I love every old ewe that in the spring time despoils my flower beds, no matter how I may revile the pesky thieves. I love the signature of our town written by every side walk rag weed however much they give me ( kachoo kachoo- - pardon me) hayfever. I have a fondness true and sincere for the lush pig weed that reaches out with greedy spines to caress and bring to ruin my nylons. Of course, like dozens of others, I know we should not tolerate them (the weeds, not the nylons) and with dozens of others, "year after year, I ask the question, "Why doesn't "The City" do something about it?" I love the sprawling empty lots and the old gray barns staggering to their knees under the body blows of the passing years. Deploring them, knowing that they should not exist in a progressive community like mine and yours, yet I love these very imperfections. Other In si ip!
