Show THE ONLY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD THAT CARES A DAMN ABOUT MILFORD, UTAH ! 1 9 SbitMHO, 5L But 9 Jfeatd Single Copy 10c; $4.0 By STEVE WILLIAMS : Wonder why for two in a row Milford area girls who migh; compete for the title of County Dairy Princess receive only two days notice. Last year, and again this year, The News is advised by our county organization that nominations must be in by June 26 two days after our paper goes in the mails. They did "relax" the Beaver County rules this year, though Last year we were advised that candidates must "be daughters of dairy farmers,'' which came t'amned close to eliminating This anyone from Milford. year they've gone back to previous rules, requiring the candidates to be between 18 and 25, single, and "must have a knowledge of dairying and dairy foods." A note from Afton Kesler asks us to point out that in 1963 Margaret Ann Whittaker of Milford was the winner, and Afton says she "certainly hopes we can have some contestants from Milford this year." Finals of the contest will be at the Beaver Community Center at 2:30 p. m. Tuesday, June 29. Girls Interseted in competing, or individuals or who wish to organizations nominate a girl, may contact Afton Kesler or Beth Morgan by June 26. Sportsmen will be pretty unhappy if recommendations of the forest men at the regional Fish and Game hearings at Panguitch are carried out by the Board of Big Game Control. Recommendation was for 500 special (antlerless) permits for the North Beaver district, according to Bert Merryweather, president of the Milford Wildlife Protective Association. The North Beaver herd is the herd that winters in the Minerals east of Milford, and local sportsmen know how that herd has been decimated in recent years. If we keep on killing more and more doe each year, with the herd all but wiped out already, there just ain't gonna be NO shooting in the Minerals within a few years. We agree with an either-sehunt, but we feel the herds of Beaver County have been pretty well thinned out now, and urge no more special antlerless permits for a few x again, and The News again offers free to Lagoon each time someine pays their subscription. Be sure to ask for the tickets good for $3 worth of free rides at Lagoon whenever you renew your subscription 'or pay for a new one). Summer-tim- e fun-ticke- ts . . THANKS . . .

MOSS SAYS UTAH HAS AMPLE SILVER YOUTH STRANDED e There Is silver mineral deposits In at least one Utah mining district where developers have not explalted the potential. That is Senator Moss' latest answer to the proponents of no minting coins containing silver. Commenting on an article in the June issue of the American Mining Congress Journal, Senator Moss said that Geological Survey scientists have discovered silver bearing ores which assay to 200 ounces of silver per ton in the Fisk Mine of the Ophir District in Utah. The high silver content Is found in black calcite, a common mineral previously considered worthless and hense ignored. Senator Moss quoted earth scientists from the Geological Survey who said that: "In laboratory studies it was determined that the black color of the calcite is due to dispersed grains of manganese oxide . . . and by dissolving the calcite In several common acids, the manganese oxide was found to contain the silver." Senator Moss said deposits assayed in Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona have been found to contain up to 1500 ounces of silver per ton of ore. "This is certainly one more substantiating argument in favor of leaving silver in our Moss said. coins," Senator "There is silver in the West that hasn't yet been touched. I continue to oppose those who want to take all silver out of our coins, and refuse to support minting of more silver dollars. "The Federal Government's Office of Mineral Exploration helps finance silver exploration. This is a program that will prove effective in opening up large new silver supplies for this country. "Aggressive pursuit of our silver deposits will be the key to supplying our needs for coinage and industrial uses." high-grad- In ON LEDGE IN RANCH CANYON A Salt Lake youth spent an uncomfortable two hours last Sunday stranded on a granite ledge in Ranch Canyon, but was fortunate enough to escape without injury.
