Here at the Herald we have the opportunity to observe the performance of some 400 youngsters who serve as our newspaper carriers. On the whole, they do a commendable job and the paper gets through rain or shine and usually on tame, Since we take considerable pride in these young people mostly boys but some girls also it was especially heartwarming to us the other day when a group of Herald patrons honored their paperboy Scott Nielsen, son of Mr, and Mrs. Bennett Nielsen of Orem. Twelve or 15 of the folks on his route donated money and bought him a new 10-speed bike. Unselfishly they kept their names secret. An anonymous spokesman mentioned Scott’s dependability, his friendship, his punctuality in seeing that the customers get their paper on time. The Herald joins in expressing appreciation to Scott – and to the many other Central Utah youngsters (mostly between 10 and 15 years of age) who also carry out their work with dedication and efficiency, usually under the guidance of parents who really care. To be sure, some carriers aren’t always as diligent, and when they’re not, we receive calls from you, the patrons, which helps us put our finger on problems, as they develop, in our getting some 27,000 papers delivered each day. A few things we would recommend: Get acquainted with your carrier boy or girl. leam their names, addresses, and phone numbers – and call them first when your paper is late or doesn’t arrive. Pay your bills promptly, Your carrier is a “little businessman,” and earnings depend on your response as it does upon his or her service. Finally, we don’t expect all customers to honor their carriers with a new bike – as Scott Nielsen’s patrons did – but if the carrier who delivers your paper is doing a good job, let him or her know your appreciation. A little encouragement along the way can be a great motivator – and a way of establishing a friendship that can provide the right basis and atmosphere for a mutually – pleasant relationship.

Cardwell, United States Commissioner of Social Security, explaining the problems facin the Social Security system. “Wlien you have an evil system like that, there will be deaths, and they are part and parcel of the system. I don’t think anybody sat down and made a decision that he should be beaten to death.” -Andrew Young, U.S. representative to the United Nations, commenting on the death of South African dissident Stephen Blko.
