I.ecause the actual number of a house and the number on a house arent in agreement. Its a tough time now to change. But it may be tougher later on. After the war, theres likely to be a tremendous amount of housing construction in Brigham City. Every house should be numbered correctly, even if the correct number already has been taken by someone on down the street. Its then up to the person incorrectly using that number to get the right one. You can call the city electric department, 102 as the city ordinance provides and get the correct number of your house. You can put up that number. You can notify the telephone company and the post office of that number, as your correct address.

Inflation comes when you finally succeed in establishing your income where it always has belonged, on the basis of true worth and productivity; and then everyone else (the profiteering scoundrels) takes advantage of the labor shortage and their countrys hour of adversity to force their incomes up to comparable levels ! Then everyone wants more of the good Something Worthwhile things in life and wants to do more of the And therewith in the name of the thing If Im going your probably prejudiced. to spend an evening, Id a lot rather spend it at something amusnig and entertaining than at something worthwhile. The Chamber of Commerce is presenting a moving picture, in color, and a lecture by Randall L. Jones, special representative of the general manager of the Union Pacific Railroad company, Thursday evening, Jpne 17. It will be something worthwhile. In spite of this, you really ought to attend. This lecture and program will be what in the moving picture business is known as a sneaker. No one seems to think it will he particularly good, but it turns out to be extremely good. I e never heard Randall Jones speak or seen his colored moving pictures of the West but heres why I think hell be good. Ive board quite a few of these special representatives of general managers or presidents or other high-up- s of big corporations, and the reason theyre hired as special representatives sent all over tiie country and presented before public gatherings is because they are good. As a group, these special representatives probably are among the most able, entertaining and interesting public speak- ers in the country today. The Military-Civilia- n relations committee of the Chamber of Commerce is so sure theyve got something there in securing Mr. Jones for a program, that theyre holding it in the high school auditorium. All officers and men of Rushnell are invited as guests of the committee and the Chamber of Commerce, and additional tickets will be available from Chamber of Commerce members, for civilians who would like to see and hear this program. You neednt be bashful about going after one of these tickets. There should be quite a bit of room in the high school auditorium. We'll have a few tickets here at the office, or if you hit up any member of the Chamber of Commerce they ought to be willing to furnish you with a ticket. Weve warned you now If you miss this bad things! Thats a mighty handsome Fathers Day window Paul Anderson has there, in the south display window of the Reminder Office Supply.
