The following article appeared in EDITORS NOTE the last issue of the Utah Farmer; record book is kept by Renae An unusually neat Eldredge, of Roosevelt. That same quality of neatness characterizes all of Renaes clothing construction work, as witnessed by the 25 blue ribbons she has received. Twice Renae has represented Duchesne County as a delegate to the State Fair in demonstrations and in dress revue. She also has attended the Older Camp. With all these honors to her credit, Renae expresses the big goals of Club work when she says, My trips to the State Fair have convinced me, more than ever, that medals, ribbons and trips are not the real prizes. Oh, of course, they are wonderful and we want them, too. But the things that really count are the things you feel within yourself. The growth and development, the abilities and various skills you have gained, the friends you have won, the experiences you have had, and the happiness that comes from living a useful life. Congratulations to a fine young lady for achieving this wholesome philosophy. v E v 4-- 4-- H 4-- H CASUALLY OBSERVING APOLOGIES to Northern Gas & Appliance Co', for not mentioning in this column last week that they too occupy a portion of the recently remodeled Labrum building THEN THERE is the new paint job that has been done to Roosevelt Hotel building, which has improved Main Streets to Hollis G. appearance. . . , CONGRATULATIONS Roosevelt LDS Stake President, for the honor bestowed on him last Sunday Scouter Hullinger (hes a scoutmaster at the National .

Reporting on the Miss Duchesne contest, Mrs. Montgomery told the group of 22 letters sent to various civic and service organizations in the county, only eight had responded. They are asking the civic groups to sponsor an entry in the contest. A plea was made by the fair board to other groups to respond, either by entering a girl, or advise the committee that they would not respond. Heading the horse show is A. Hale Holgate, Bob Murdock, Lawrell Jensen and W. C. Foy, Chairman of the parade is Lowell Coleman, of Duchesne, who has assistants in the various communities who are lining up floats.
