(UP) This is a story of heroism in the suburbs and after you get into it you'll know why no names are used. It involves a woman. She has five children a one of them flushed a toy building block down the toilet. The father of these children was out of town. The woman couldn't get a plumber because it was Sunday.

So she turned off the waler and somehow removed the toilet. The block wouldn't budge despite her She thought maybe water pressure would free it. But she had turned off the water. She dammed the toilet out-, let with a towel, turned the water on and moved the toilet to Ihe backyard. She had just started the job of freeing the trapped block with Ihe garden hose when another of the children yelled, i it's gelling pretty wet in here." The lawtl had not held and a ture Old Faithful was spouting in the bathroom.

The woman turned off the water again. She put Ihc toilet in a little red wagon and wheeled it across the street lo the home of a neighbor, where she asked for and was granted permission to use the hose and some 'water. Pressure did not free the block but the sight of a woman hauling a toilet in a little red wagon across the street trailed by five children brought out many inter- esfed neighbors. These neighbor offcfcd suggestions, but all fc short. Finally the husband came He knew where there was a har ware store open.

He put the toile in the car and took it to the hard ware store. The hardware father himself, freed the block sawing It In half. The toilet was brought horn and reinstalled. An hour later thtrt was anolhc block In it. lly's growth over the last dccada i the field of chemical Industry just beginning.

The governor expressed his at Ihe news of the metallurgical research.j section, be- ng moved He called a "splendid blrth'day gift to Ida- and to Pocatcllo 75th birthday of the founding of- the cily." He said that it is hard In estimate the benefits that can pome 'rom having the research In the state. "Your city Is probably growing 'aster Ilian most of lie concluded. "I am told that since 1954 no less than 35 new businesses lave been established in your city. 'n those three years you have built two new schools, six new buildings at Idaho State College, a new courthouse and city a new Branch post office and nearly 20 churches." He closed his address by slating hat "the heallhy ferment of discontent" will lead the city to a bright future.

"Southeast Idaho has all the potential for a great Indus- rial empire. The driving, ambit ion. of your community to be its capital is destined for certain success." A committee, of JayCees served Ihe food to the crowd. It was set up on a long table and served buffet style. The city recreation department ran races and games for the chil- drcn and Jubilee committee gave the muney for the awards.

The brand-new train was driven by Donald Ho well of Omaha, who has way west from lo parade. Parade Chairman John Sponbau- er, aslride a palomino, organized four solid blocks of floah.
