Poem by Helen Parsons

Don’t steal this book my honest lad,
For fifte cents it cost my dad,
And when you die the Lord will say,
Who stold that book away,
And you will say, I do not no,
And he will cast you down below,

By Helen Parsons, she wrote this poem in one of her grammar books while going to the Newton Elementary School bewteen 1876-1880
Helens family was one of the early families in Newton.

Love Your Library” During National Library Week

What has more cardholders than VISA, more outlets than McDonald’s and
moves more items daily than FED EX? Your local library! Let’s face
it reading is HOT!
Libraries are a real bargain - every dollar invested in Utah’s
libraries generates economic returns and provides numerous resources for
Utah residents including access to the Internet for many citizens who do
not own computers.

NEWTON DAUGHTERS OF THE UTAH PIONEERS

The Newton Daughters of the Utah Pioneers thank you for the support given to our can collecting. We have purchased a 4 Volume set of History books for the Newton Library, with part of the money. They are called "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude". The books are now in the Library. There are 3575 pages of Histories and pictures of Pioneer Women in these books. Sometime when you are in the Library (or make a special trip) look at these books, they might contain some of your own family histories. We hope they will be used and of value to our Newton town members. We would appreciate your continued support of our can collecting. Please know that if you would like to join the DUP, we would love to have you with us. Thanks again. Jens Peter Benson Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers
