Providing everything proves satisfactory, it is quite possible that Mr. Eddington age in possibly will contract acre- the valley for 1938, with a small acreage of peas, beans, corn and tomatoes, however the possibilities for corn are more encouraging than any of the other crops, inasmuch as Utah is now shipping corn into this territory. The Eddington Cannery canned corn last year, which proved very profitable, and according to Mr. Eddington they are planning on canning corn again this year. The committee who held the conference with Mr. Eddington also made an inspection of several corn fields in the vicinity of Sprlngvilie, and the corn certainly looks fine and will be ready to harvest in the near Juture.

BICYCLE STEALING CAUSES TROUBLE FOR OFFICERS 2hh, Chairman of State Road Commission Is Asked for Aid For several years past, the Nephi Kiwanls club in cooperation with other agencies, including the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah, ana delegations from West Millard County, have worked untiringly for the completion of the Nephi Leamington wad, but for some unknown reason this short-cfrom East Juab county to West Millard County has not been completed. There has been considerable money spent on each end of the road, with a small appropriation last summer on a small section of the Sevier River Bridge section. The matter of completing the road up to a passable condition was discussed at some length by Russell Hawkins at the Beaver meeting of the clubs held recently, and the road committee of the club are still working on the project. The following letter was mailed this week to W. D. Hammond, chairman of the state road commission by Frank G. Martines of the clubs' road committee. The letter sets forth the Southern Ut ah Civic Clubs' stand on the con struction of the road. ation of the association. Frank Greenhalgh was selected as manager of the local grain warehouse and plans were made for taking care of storage of the crop of wheat now being harvested. It is expected that this year's yield of wheat In Juab valley will be heavier than any within the past ten years, and the warehouse officers expect that many growers wui desire to store their grain. The local warehouse has a capacity of approximateuy one hundred thousand bushels. Storage is in sacks and each grower's wheat Is kept in an individual pile so that when he wishes to withdraw his wheat he receives the Identical wheat he deposited. ut SCOUTS TO CAMP IN WAYNE COUNTY Nephi-Leamingt- July The big date in the Scout calendar has rolled around. It is the week in camp, the thing that all other scout activities lead up to. This year the District Scout leaders decided that it would be a fine thing if the scouts were given not only the week camp experience but also a trip. All the plans have been made toward that end and the place decided upon was the Thousand Lake Mountain in Wayne This is a National Parks council camp and the boys will be well taken care of. There will be only one scout man from Nephi on the trip, but Council leaders of Provo will be there, also. Scouts planning on the trip and camp should contact Elmo Hansen Immediately, not later than July 30, and must furnish a health certificate from their doctor. Parents, this is a real opportunity for the boys. Send your to camp if it is at all possible son-sco- ut to do so. LOCAL - SOCIAL NEWS Mrs. Elja Hancock of Biackfoot, Idaho was the guest of Mrs. J.

Dear Commissioner: "I was indeed sorry that you weren't able to attend our last meeting of the Associated Civic-Clubat Beaver. We did, however, enjoy the presence of Governor Blood. "As I am serving on the road committee of the clubs and the chairman has been ill, I naturally looked after the road problems of the club during this session. During our meeting a delegation from Nephi brought up very specifically the case pertaining to the Leamington road and it appears to us from our knowledge of the situation, that their - claims evidently were very just. A banquet was held some two years ago at one of our meetings at Nephi, at which time was present Governor Blood and Preston G. Peterson. The road program was read in the banquet session at which time figures in the amount of $55,000.00 were set up for the completion of this road. Naturally the Juab people were very jubiliant In connection with Millard county over this promise. Now it appears that little has been done, and the commissioners and directors from Juab County and also East Millard county have blamed both the directors of the Civic Clubs and the road commission for their failure, to carry through this work. I am appealing to you in behalf of the club to see if something cannot be done toward correcting this situation. I also noticed in last evening's paper that there is $286,000.00 of federal funds to be applied to secondary roads in Utah. I believe in your position and with your prestige, some of these funds could be secured to be placed on this particular road. I realize very much your position and the demands that there are constantly made, but I do believe that in all fairness to us and to the people of Juab and Millard counties that some action is necessary. I would appreciate an early answer to my letter and would very much like to discuss this further with you" at any time you might suggest. Very cordially your friend s .
