We drove out the highway to Delta the early part of the week, wanting to see for ourselves exactly ex-actly what kind of a road the county boys put down. We'd heard it was good and we'd heard it was bad. To make a long story short, bo'ih rumors are correct. The added road material is pretty fine sort of a mixture of sand and fine gravel. It isn't too hot to drive over, in spots, but in other places, where it had been packed by the traffic, it was almost al-most as smooth as a newly-oiled .highway. To notice the difference, differ-ence, we kept driving on into Millard county. The road in our neighboring county was much rougher than the road this side of the line, and while we don't claim to know much about road building, build-ing, we believe that when a rain or two hits the road, and a little more traffic packs it down a bit more, it'll turn out to be a pretty good driving 1 surface. And it's a step near er to the ultimate objective-: a hard-surfaced road to Salt Lake via the "level route." -.- Trippers of the light fantastic fantas-tic who turn out at Arion Hall next Tuesday will be "dancing ' so others may LIVE." Entire proceeds from the dance will go toward purchasing a respirator res-pirator for the Milford Volunteer Volun-teer Fire Department. Milford's orchestra is contributing contrib-uting their services as music makers for the evening, The News tossed in the ticket printing print-ing and advertising, and the Arion owners made a huge slash in their charge for the hall, so expenses will be practically nil.

Many persons would die from drowning, who could be saved with a respirator. Often the lives of new-born babies are saved with its use. Firemen, who have been overcome by smoke, can be "brought around." It's deen used in mine disasters, electric elec-tric shock cases, and many, many other instances. Formerly high priced, these invaluable machines are now comparatively cheap, and one life saved will more than justify the cost. Firemen will solicit ticket sales this week. When they knock at your door, "Smile and say 'Sure!' " About a year ago, when they last paraded down Milford's Main Stem, Ruminator received a letter from a patriotic citizen who objected to the conduct of some of the bystanders. Today, following the Forty-Niner parade, pa-rade, we received the following: Hats Off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of ' drums, A flash of color beneath the sky, Hats Off! The Flag is passing by. "When the flag is passing on parade or review, the spectators, if walking, should halt, or if sitting, should rise and stand with their hats placed over the heart until the flag has passed. Women should salute by placing the hand over the heart." The respect shown the flag of the United States as it paraded by the spectators of Milford in the 49ers parade was remarkable. remark-able. People, sitting on the curb as the flag passed by, just sat! Men, slouched against the buildings, build-ings, just slouched! The flag passed by. One boy said quite clearly, "Let's take off our hats, men, for the flag." But not a man even touched the brim of his hat. There was one man who started to remove his hat, looked around, saw no one else performing this act of respect, and quickly replaced his hat on his head as tho he were guilty of a social error. In the future, when the flag is paraded down the streets of Milford, let's not show such careless observance of respect due Our Flag. "Hats Off! The Flag is passing pass-ing by!" |
