I am all shook up. A little while ago, Donald Swapp, chairman of the board of supervisors of Kane County Soil Conservation district, was sitting here, discussing the supervisor election to be held Nov. 5, when the most scream I have ever heard shattered the silence. Now, a few years ago, when- I toured Europe, I traveled from the of Normandy to hedge-rowLeipzig, Germany with a winter vacation in the Battle of the Bulge, and the noises I heard were like a whisper in church compared to this scream. Donald and I rushed to the door to see who was being skinned alive. Qut In the hall we saw Doctor Aiken, a battlesearred veteran of two wars and a man used to this kind of goings-on- , looking pale and shaken. About this time, we realized that the screams were coming from the back room of Doctor Fulstows t ofice. It seems that Ruth had somehow managed to get herself connected to the City Water and Southern Utah Power Company and was getting quite a charge out of it. Ruth says, 'taint funny; and I guess taint, but I wish I had a recording of that scream. I believe I could sell it to the makers of horror movies or to and T V shows for half a million dollars. When we got back to the business at hand, we wrote a letter to the State Soil Conservation committee, telling them that Cornell Chamberlain of Glerv dale, Rolland Lamb of Order-ville- , Birt Gardner of Mt. Carmel, and Donald Swapp, Charles .W h ip p e , and Mark of Kanab have Swapp been nominated to run for the expired terms of Donald Swapp, Mark Swapp, and Lamond Heaton. The election will be held the some day as the regular election, and the polling places will be: the SCS office in Kanab, the post office in Mt. Carmel, the Chamberlain store in Orderville, the Glendale Merc, store in Glendale, and the Alton Merc, store blood-curdlin- g - s Lund-quis- r 1 In Alton.
