PTA To Have More Money Raising Projects Later On Despite the bad weather the recent PTA rummage sale was declared a success by Mrs. Wayne Thomas, president. The gr up netted about $200 and this money will be used to buy clothing and other items for needy children in the area. An other rummage sale is plan ned for April with some of the proceeds to aid the Canyon Scholarship drive which is un derway. Mrs. Eldon Hutchin son is chairman of the drive this year. She said that cannisters were now being placed in various business establishments this week and if the response was great enough it is hoped that a house to house drive will not be necessary. She added, however, that it was toe early to make a definite statement in that regard. A baked food sale at the Hilltop Market on Friday and Saturday, February 14-15 from In this “weather to weather” February—it is really not safe to write about climatic condi tions, as it changes before the ink gets dry. But at least to day (Friday)—it seems almost pleasant. Hear so many peo ple saying, “If we ever get a good warm rain again I’ll not complain about it.” But hum an nature being what it is we probably will. Trying to look at it from an optimistic viewpoint being “snowbound” was rather nice. Everyone seemed just a little friendlier as they gave some one a push as their car was stuck, or if some one needed a ride to town, to the doctors office or an errand done, there was always some cne willing to give a helping hand. Here in front of The Enter prise office Don and George had “helping hands” a number of times. People driving up to the office, bank or postoffice many times got stuck—so out they would go to give a heave- ho. I noticed one woman had five men pushing to try and get her car out of a snow drift—and they were smiling all the while—probably it gave their male ego a lift too—as they were thinking, Oh, well, women drivers: But as everyone knows, ser iously speaking, there is noth ing like trouble to bring out the best in people. But isn’t it wonderful when people real- ly NOTICE each other, look directly at them and smile and talk? Maybe it takes something drastic—if only the weather to get folks INVOLVED and con cerned again. With something besides themselves, that is. Well here at the newspaper office—guess we don’t have to worry about longevity. Was reading an article the other day that prominent people (no offense, boss) live longer than the average person, despite the strains of fighting their way to the top. According to a recent study famous scientists rank first in longevity, followed by clergy men, educators and military men. Executives, judges and lawyers are fartherest down the list—old age wise. The shortest life-spans are those of writers, editors and correspon- dents. I do know in the newspaper business there are many oc- Darlene Ruby Hosts Bid or Bunch Club casions when it is very easy to make the old blood boil if that has anything to do with ‘‘snort living”. In this work, like any other, the public doesn’t always real ize how easy it is to make a mistake—one word transposed ca t put an entirely different meaning to a news story. 1 don’t have the figures at hand but when working with type it is amazing how many hun dreds of ways there are of mak ing an error. To say nothing of the original copy. But it is like any other skill, whether one sews, knits, is a banker, engineer or whatever—it might be easy to do your own job— and to think how the other guy could be so “stupid.” All the errors we make at The Enterprise office aren’t stupid ones, although we have our share—they just look that way! Seems like so many news headlines now have a political trend—and here is one on the lighter side. An old carpenter, who had been a Democrat all of his life, was told the sad news by his doctor; a chronic illness had really taken its toll and he was given not more than six months to live. As soon as he it-ft the doctor’s office he hur ried to the voting registrar’s office and changed his registra tion to Republican. Asked why, after a lifetime as a Democrat, he had changed he replied: “well, seein’ as how somebody’s gotta go, I figure it might as well be one of them”.
