Wq(Bq Swindlers AinrAt MagnaGarfield Demos Name COPPER People With Old Fraud Delegates To Convention BY , "Spanish Prisoner" Racket Revived; Latest Variation Offers Share in Mythical $385,000 Once more the old Spanish Swindle has emerged from the moth balls with the swindler apa sucker parently working from bst that includes many Magna and Garfield names, states Postmasters Roland Young and Theresa Taylor. Recently two professional men notified Post Office officials that come-o- n they were the recipients of letters. If these are answered, the swindlers then go into action. Post Office Inspectors advise recipients of these letters to notify them immediately. Under no circumstances should the person getting one of the letters fall for the elaborate promise of a share in a 385,000 fortune. The letters follow the usual patexplaining tern, the prisoner that he is in Mexico City and needs only a few thousand dollars to pay a fine and get back from the customs his trunk containing $385,000. Will the letters recipient send along a few thousand dollars and - in return accept a big share of the $385,000 If he does, its the last he will ever see of his money, postal officials say. Cooking School Set In Magna For March 19 We count our blessings on our fingers and our mistakes on an adding machine. You dont have to be a chiseler to carve out your own career, says Clarence Naylor, one of my favorite people. And, speaking of Clarence, 1 dont know of anyone I would rather call seeking information. He is always courteous, obliging and stimulating to talk to. Another of our favorite people, Mr. A. C. Ensign, stopped In the office last week, while visiting in Magna, and in his usual humorous way, asked Howard if he had heard about the homely bachelor who sent his photo to a Lonely Hearts Club and got it back with a note: Were not that lonely! Anyway, thank you, Mr. Gus, for your fine compliments on our paper. We hope that some day we might number just half as many friends as you have. Saw Mrs. Ensign Friday in Salt Lake, and as usual, she looked very charming. She spent a few moments chatting with Daisy Wilkin and myself, and again I marveled at her sweetness and niceness. 1 TO HIM HE'LL LOVE IT1 Every man needs socks but etch man has a strong preference!

One of my pet hobbies is seeking and talking about homes and their furnishings especially new ones -- - so enjoyed talking with Sarah Bowen last Wednesday evening. I asked her if plans were complete on their contemplated new rambler home which will be built at 8560 West on 3100 South. They recently purchased 2 barracks from Kearns, moved them down, to use as garage lumber. Sarah said she was becoming quite discouraged about construction prices bricklayers, alone, want $18.00 a day and $36.00 on Saturdays. Gosh, Sarah, it might be advisable for Homer to practice bricklaying in his spare time. And, then ;me feel we shouldnt pay sc.. .j1 teachers higher wages! We drove out Sunday to see how construction was coming on the beautiful new $160,000 Granger wardhouse and North Jordan stakehouse, located at 40th West and 39th South. I dont believe Ive ever seen a more interesting structure. It is modernly designed and has very unusual architectural features.

Being Lined Up For People t ar Doctors, Others Escape Lethal Gas Two doctors, Dr. Milton A. Newman of the Garfield Smelter and Dr. Owen Reese of the Kennecott Magna Plant, escaped monoxide poisoning Friday as did Dr. Newman's wife, Nurse Marjorie McDermaid and Delwin Richards, first-ai- d man at the Smelter. The near tragic incident occurred at the Newman residence, 129 Washington Avenue, in Garfield, when Mrs. Newman, an expectant mother, fainted. Dr. Newman, believing that her unconscious condition was caused from pregnancy, called Dr. Reese, who found Dr Newman out when he arrived in Garfield. Upon beginning to feel giddy after being in the house a few moments, Dr. Reese ordered all occupants of the house outside, gave treatrrrn: to Mrs. Newman, and then had her removed to Salt Lake and immediately gave oxygen to Dr. Newman. It was later ascertained there was enough escaping fumes from a heating system to prove lethal. Mrs. Newman has now returned home, fully recovered. Dr. Newman is also well again. in Mi Plans are underway for a reunion of the Magna Ward Relief Society members at a dinner Tuesday, 12 noon. All past presidents of the organization will be guests of honor. A cost of 60c a plate has been made to help defray the expenses. An entertainment will be given following the dinner. This will commemorate the founding of the Relief Society organization. The Pleasant Green Water Com- pany informed a group of local representatives Monday they were willing to sell the local water system, excluding Main Street property, for $200,000.00. f ; ' V r a This announcement resulted from a meeting attended by representatives of the Improvement Distriet-fWater in Magna, head-by P. W. Seay, and the Water Company trio, Dr. Henry Raile, president of P. G. Water, Delbert Draper, attorney and H. C. Jones manager. The meeting was held at the Administration Building Kennecott Copper Corporation in Arthur, with Mr. E. W. Engelmann, general superintendent of Kennecott, arranging the gathering. Three Proposals Offered , The local committee offered three proposals to the Pleasant ' Green delegation, to include: FIRST That the P. G. sell outright to the Magna group. SECOND That the Magna group install a competing system in direct competition with the Pleasant Green Water Company. THIRD That the Pleasant Green Water Company present plans and methods of financing,in-cludin- g water rates and a system that will adequately serve Magna. . The Water Company demandl ed $200,000 for their system, but refused to give Mr. Seay any detailed valuation for either the system, pumping, water rights or property, maintaining their price was $200,000. The second alternative awaits meeting and action of the Magna groups board of trustees. A meeting is set for this Friday evening, 8:00 p. m. for the gathering. The third alternative, that of the Pleasant Green Water improving the system, discloses that the P. G. Water has not present-e- d plans for improvements to the local system, in spite of a letter from Mr. Draper to Mr. Seay, dated October, 1947, to the effect that Mr. Seay would be advised as soon as plans were available from the water concern. Promises Outlined The Pleasant Green timdfpro-mis- e that, IF, Magna would go before the Public Service Commission requesting a rate increase from their present $1.25 per month to $2.50 a month, then they would improve the system. They did not have a plan showing what improvements would be made in return for the doubling the rates, but promised that plans would be submitted to Magna reor 1- - i W 'i ! 5 t - -- sidents. Mr. Seay stated that it was not within his power to commit th community to an increase in water rates to the P. G. Company. Thi3 permission must come from the M Vi ! f f I r ) i' ? rj f 1 people. The committee wishes to thank Mr. Engelmann for his kindness in arranging the meeting. CARS BADLY DAMAGED IN k h i u fV ) IIEADON CRASH Miraculously escaping any injuries, Roy Dean Kemp, 29, Magna was given a ticket for reckless driving when the vehicle he was driving Monday crashed headon into 6 vehicle operated by Stanley Olsen, 37, of 63 West Sixteenth Avenue.
