There Will be another free shoot for ladies. There may be shooting at live birds Friday, but there will not be next year. Last Friday was a good turkey shoot, except bad for the lodge exchequer. Thirty- - 'five turkeys were lugged home by good shots. Too many sharpshooters were out, and not enough dubs. Mrs. Blaine Robinson won the ladies' shoot. A larger attednance is expected this Friday than last, when vario-us other events thinned the . crowd. Do Hot Park On School Grounds For Safety Sake ; There are signs at the Delta school grounds, saying "Cars Keep Out, 8 a. m. to 4 p. m." But up to date they are not being heeded , and they should be. The s!,ins were placed there as a safety measure, to prevent ac-cidents. They are approved by State Highway Patrolman Sher -- wood, Merritt Floyd, in charge of school buses, and the schools. Every school day there are 900 children circulating on the school grounds when school opens in the mornings and is out in the after-noon, 500 in the high school and 400 in the elementary school. Six school buses roll in to unload child reri before school and again in the afternoon to pick them up. At the same time cars pull onto the grounds, south of the high sch-ool and west of the grade school, bring children. The drivers, mostly mothers it is reported, disregard the signs. It is solely to avoid accidents that the signs were put up, and the school earnestly asks the pub-lic to cooperate. Cars may be par-ked at the sidewalks, but not on the school grounds between 8 a.m. and 4 p. m. New Plione Directories The Millard County Tel. &Vel. Co. will be sending out new tele-phone directories to their subscrib-ers beginning the first of next week. The old directories are to be destroyed as soon as the new one comes. The directories are twelve pages this time, printed on a very tough cardboard to stand a lot of hand-ling and abuse. They contain all the listings of the company to last Thursday. The directory was compiled by Rulon Callister, Delta manager, and printed at the Chronicle. Hospital Funds Are lipped By Sale of Badges Sale of special badges 'for the pheasant hunt have raised the hospital funds by $3,000 in a rough check Monday, With more badges to be sold this weekend for the second hunt. The badges are good for the season so that those who now have one "don't have to buy another. The badges were distributed well over the entire west Millard area so that they could be bought with a, minimum of effort. A road sta-tion was set up in the eaet end of town Saturday morning and they sold almost $1500 worth at $2.00 each. Badges may be bought for this weekend at the same places as before, which is about any place you go. Out of town hunters bought them willingly and were pleased with the large area in which they had to hunt. They found plenty of birds the opening day and most everyone had their limit. Those who didn't blamed themselves for missing so many. Posting, other than by the Farm Bureau, was the lowest in many years, which gave the hunters hundreds of acres up-on which to hunt. Ninety-nin- e per cent of the hunters were pleased with the plan, the cause it was for and the results o'f! the hunt. There was opposition locally to the plan in some places, but in most cases it went over well. There have been no unsportman-lik- e incidents reported to us this year as there were last year when so many cases were brought to our attention of, in most cases, plain hoodlum actions. Only one person was shot this year, as com-pared to a busy day at the Delta hospital last year, with the whole-sale shooting of hunters. So, the hunting actions of the sportsmen were far better than last year. It may be the smaller number of hunters, and it may be that the hunters appreciated the fact that so much land was given over to their pleasure at hunting time. The season opens again Satur-day at noon and closes again next Sunday night. There is some ac-tion in the northern part of the state to close the season, but it is not expected that this will be done. Use your old badge next week-end, or if you don't have one, go buy one.

" . - i" ' This picture is almost 50 years old; as the baby shown is a local fesident now 50 years old. The bro-thers were not local residents at 'he time, in fact, about 12 years later before they first saw wt Millard. These nice-looki- boys were m in northern Utah, well, at 'east north of here.They first came here as boys in 1912, and for , several years they shuttled back a"d forth between here and their birthplace . Then they acquired 'arms here. And that took all their time. The older brother, with the big w tie, died several years ago. Tlle baby brother, who will be 51 Vears old in December, is still far ming here. And he is a quiet man, as his baby picture indicates. He loves sports, especially bas-ketball. AnN he likes hunting, and no doubt was out after the wily pheasants last week, and will go again this week. He is the father of 'five children and now has two grandchildren. He has been in his ward bishopric and also served m as an officer, the Sunday School. And one thing he does love to Although he is a do is carpenter. farmer, he is never happier than when engaged with wood, saw hammers and nails. With the least would forget the bit of urging he farm and devote all of his time to being a carpenter.

Earl Steele Returns Home Earl Steele was brought home Monday night from the LDS hos-pital with a cast on his neck. He was injured in a football practice Oct. 23 at Delta high school, and had three vertebrae fractured at the base of the skull. He has had two operations since to repair the 'injury. His father, Doyle Steele, and sister Mrs. Elma Frazier, made the trip home with him. Earl is making a good recovery, and was released from the hos-pital a few days earlier than at first expected. He will wear the cast for some time yet, and ex-pects to return to school next week. FUNDS RAISED To help pay the expense of his hospitalization and surgery, stud-ents and faculty at Delta high school have contributed funds in a drive sponsored by the Pep Club. They also made a canvass in Delta of business houses and individuals. The response was generous from all, and the school wishes to thank them all for their aid. The funds, combined with a sum from the Utah high schools act-ivities association and $150 held by the school since the Phil Raw-lins- on 'football accident two years ago, total roundly about enough to pay the expenses involved. Post 117 Asks For Old Toys For Christmas Post 117, American Legion, will again this year give Santa Claus a helping hand by making old toys like new.
