A West Coast Indian Myth IN far off time our people killa big whale, so an Indian myth states. They then floated ed hair-sea- l buoys and towed home. it Moreover, while thus towing it they did not pray to the Mother Earth, to keep from the evil spirits, taking possession of it. So he lit on it in the night and poisoned it. The next day they cut up the meat and blubber and hung the choice parts on a strong pole, then began preparation for a big feast, shouted. As as they sang and were hungry very hungry, they they finally cooked and ate the whole whale before those who were elk hunting and picking berries could return. Then that night they all sickened and died. That is why the West Coast Indians are now so few in number. Now in our day we do not pray to Mother Earth as the people did in that long ago; but, instead, we should not fail to sing and pray to our God to keep the evil spirit away from us. it with CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all our friends who so kindly assisted us with their help and sympathy when our beloved wife and mother and sister was taken from us. We are thankful for the words of sympathy, for the Inspiring music and the beautiful flowers for all who assisted In any way. C. W.

Nc information has been given out on the defense side of the story. LOCALS SOCIETY n from Heber City, Myton, Roosevelt and Vernal were present. After calling for minutes of the previous meeting, and a vote ot welcome to the visiting Clubs Pres. Fitzwater of the Gateway Club turned the meeting over to Jess Hiatt of Heber, Pres, of the Associated Clubs. He announced the purpose of the meeting, to plan a celebration of the new mail further route, the promoting of Improvement of Highway 40, and drouth relief. Various speakers from the Clubs represented gave their opinions and brought matters of local Interest before the meeting. Jack Douglas of the Vernal Lions Club made an appeal for the use of the Uintah Basin Asphalt, on Highway 40. Large deposits of this material are located at Vernal and at other points along the route as far West as Fruitland. ASPHALT ADVOCATED It was estimated that this erial can be used at a cost mat- of little per mile or very 85 higher than the cost of oil. $5000.00 per cent of the money expended would in this way go to local labor, materially helping the unemof Sections ployment problem. road built of this material at Vernal are in perfect shape after 14 years of use, indicating that there is no comparison between the oil and asphalt roads. The Associated Clubs went on record as insisting that the Road Commission use this material wherever feasible, L. C. Montgomery of Heber folly City mentioned first the of the big dredges being moved to the Strawberry Reservoir to assist in pumping water into Utah our Valley to save crops while crops burn for lack of water. He stressed the importance of Strawberry River water users demanding their legal rights in the natural flow of the Strawberry River, Commendation of the use of local asphalt for road building was next expressed by Mr. Montgomery who brought attention to the fact that there are two parallel hard surface roads, paralleling two railroads into the Southern part of the State, while the Basin Is serviced by only one road, not hard surfaced and no railroads and yet we have a larger area of irrigable land than is found In the Southern part of the State. He mentioned, however, the bad turns and grade on the present road through the Valley and stressed the importance of improving these be- OTDER COI NTIES INVITED fore President Hiatt advocated that Summit County be invited to join the Associated Cubs, which was put in the form of a motion to include Daggett County and passed. Mr. Hiatt also advocated that the County Commissioners of the various counties be included as members of the Club as so much of the Clubs work comes within their scope. R. E. Miller of Myton asked that the Association assist in persuading the Road Commission tc eliminate the two bad turns on Highway 40 in Myton. As it was reported that the Commission has already made plans for ' taking care of these turns, no action was taken. A motion was passed that the Duchesne Cateway Club select a member to replace R. G. Porter as of the Associated Clubs. L. C. Montgomery was e appointed ns Chairman of a hard-surfacin- g. overrunning. The only other accident of the liar-lan- d trip happened Monday when the overshot Torrey Sharman Airport slightly, bringing his big seven passenger ship up against a tree.
