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.

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-

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”.
