Show w The Complete Bad Figuring? The Moscow radio announced that five million Russians filed past Joseph Stalin's bier in 72 hours. That means, accord ini to the calculations of one of our fine friends at Erast & Ernst (our auditors), that the mourners; two d feet abreast, three and apart, ran past the bier at 22 miles an hour. Twenty two miles an hour is 9.3 seconds a hundred yards, which is the world's record for the dash heretofore recorded only by Americas Mel Patton.

LOCAL RESIDENTS one-thir- 100-ya- rd Mem-mott- A Suggestion? Several calls have been received at the Copper Printing Company office relative to the existence of potential refrigerator death traps two of them back of a Magna business firm. These calls were in turn given to the local sheriffs office, who asked for "public cooperation in protecting children against accidental death by suffocation." All residents are urged by the deputies to "examine your property fur the existence of old ice boxes or discarded refrigerators in which small children might hide." The doors of all such "death traps should be removed as insurance against danger. The alertness to the potential suffocation chambers was induced by a recent scries of mishaps causing the deaths of 11 children in other states.

He told about a California community where a new idea is being promoted to give all a longer weekend. Stores close at noon on Saturdays and remain closed until Monday noon. Stores would remain open Monday evenings for the convenience of customers who work and cannot shop in the daytime. In other words, stores would be open four full Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, two evenings and one half day cm Monday.

Activity Firmly believing the completion will be affected on schedule in November, the $5 million phosphate processing plant of West' era Phosphate, Inc. at Garfield is percent complete, according to John Paul Jones, vice president and general manager of the facil75 ity. All of the structural steel work is in place on main buildings of the plant with the exception of the big storage warehouse, which is immediately right of the corrugated steel office and machine shops.

A member of the Copper Printing Company happened to be at work that morning and Mrs. John H. And reason of 3972 South 9150 West, excitedly called and asked if it was a mild earthquake at 8:37 a. m. It was later ascertained that the seismograph operated by the University of Utah, recorded three quakes within an hour. They report the first tremor lasted about two minutes. The second, of duration, was recorded at 9 a. m. and the third, also about two minutes, at 9:36 a. m. All of the quakes were light They were recorded at five millimeters on the seismograph scale. A recording of 20 millimeters would indicate a quake that caused considerable damage. One local resident reported to representatives of the Copper Printing, "I had the sensation of being almost pushed forward while I was eating my breakfast, and thought at first it was a large truck going by or some heavy blasting. However, when the second came, followed by a third tremor, I became scared." Finn Day Big Success Here Throngs, Estimated At Over 400, Attend Magna Event Huckleberry By Emil Feulner Last week's Garden Column treated the economic aspects oj our large Western phosphate deposits. This time we shall concern ourselves in the main with phosphate as a plant food. There are 3 main plant food elements, nitrogren, phosphorous and potassium. There are also many minor elements or trace elements that are absolutely essential such as iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, etc. It is the lack of iron availability in our highly alkaline soils that cause us so much trouble in the irrigated west. Lark of iron turns our plants yellow. This yellowing we term chlorosis. Phosphate is an essential element in all functions of plant growth. Symptoms of phosphorous deficiency are not easily recogniz- ed. No doubt the same cause which causes iron deficiences in our soils also ties up much of our phosphate. While iron starts to become unavailable even before the neutral point or a PH of 7 is reached, phosphate starts to lock up a little above neutral and at a PH of 9 very little is available for plant We must now remember that many of our gardens are close to a PH of 9 and beyond. The Municipal Rose Garden of Salt Lake City is deteriorating fast It his a PH of 8.8 which means a tie-u- p of iron and a partial tie-u- p of phosphate.
