Precipi-tat Precipi-tat on measured .04 of an inch on the 1st; .02 on the 2nd; trace on the 3rd; .15 on the 5th and .08 on the 6th. All in all it adds up to a lot of cold, stormy weather. Red Cross Drive Proves Successful Norma Weddingham, Chairman of the West Millard Chapter of the American Red Cross reports that $724.00 was donated in the recent drive. This compares very ' favorably favor-ably to last year's $683.00. Betty Kelly, West Millard Fund Chairman, on behalf of all the workers wor-kers expresses thanks to all who contributed. Individual contributions contribu-tions were lower in a lot of cases but more overall participation helped to bring about the successful success-ful drive, Mrs. Kelly said. The large contribution indicates to the workers that area residents have become more aware of the essential es-sential services performed by The American Red Cross and especially in this area. Ass.sting in the successful drive as area chairmen were Wanda Nielson, Leamington; Phyllis Nelson, Nel-son, Lynndyl; Sarah Finlinson, Oak City; Lilac Holman, South Tract; Sutherland, Lenore Bunker; Sugar-ville, Sugar-ville, Faye Clark; Abraham, Nayon Young; Oasis, Norma Skeem; Des-eret, Des-eret, Edna Christensen; Hinckley, Dorothy Damron; Delta Third Ward Area, Gloria Hare; Delta Second Se-cond Ward Area, Margaret Mur-dock; Mur-dock; Delta First Ward Area, Katharine Kath-arine Black.

C.S. office will take to the field to check performance in connection with the feed grain, wheat and oilier programs administered by the A.S.C.S. committee, according to Gene A. Walker, Chairman of Millard County A.S.C.S Committee. Each producer who has a wheat allotment will receive a post card which can be filled out and returned re-turned to the A.S.C.S. office, setting set-ting forth the plan.ing of wheat on the farm. Those producers who will participate in the feed grain program pro-gram will be contacted and measurements mea-surements made on the diverted acres applicable to the program. Mr. Walker also reported that a pre-measuremen.t service is offered whereby a farmer might, have his acreage measured prior to the regular reg-ular performance check. In this case, the farmer would need to, pay the cost of the measurement which would usually run from $4 to $10 per farm, depending on the size of the farm and the acres to be determined. Most acreage, however, how-ever, will not be measured if it is intended that they exceed the allotment al-lotment or the feed grain- bases. Mr. Walker pointed out that the field supervisors or reporters making mak-ing the check will be community committeemen where possible and especially men who are familiar with the farming area. He pointed out that the cooperation of the operator op-erator of the farm is important in making the check and that it would be greatly appreciated. -By INEZ RIDING In the article on the March meeting meet-ing of the Board of Education the estimated cost of the new Delta Jr.-Sr. High school facility is given. Other expenses, such as architect's fees, equipment, eta are listed, although al-though not the costs. It seems odd to us that this same aricle did not point out that this investment would be one of longe-v'ty. longe-v'ty. This proposed plant will provide pro-vide education facilities for secondary second-ary students of west Millard for the next half century, barring a large population growth, of course. It is understandable that Supt. Wright, in preparing this article, chooses not to editorialize, as he pointed out to us in a telephone conversation. But, to include this would not be editorializing, as far as we're concerned. This would not be editorializing any more than to include, '.The architects fees of 8 per cent, equipment costs, and the costs of developing the site, will be in addition to this figure". We think our school board members mem-bers have looked into the future and using all facts available to them have arrived at the tight de-c de-c sion to take care of the secondary second-ary school needs of the district first. We are of the opinion that many f Sip i rr 'SERVING Volume 54 Number 41 f -4 WELLS P. STARLFV Wells P. Starley Is Candidate for 4-yr. Commissioner Wells P. Starley, Democratic candidate can-didate for 4-year County Commissioner, Commis-sioner, is a native of Fillmore. He was born there Dec. 17, 1898, to John J. and Eliza P. Starley, the fifth of six sons. He received his elementary education edu-cation in the Fillmore schools and is a graduate of Millard High. He volunteered for service in the Student Stu-dent Army Training Corps during World War One and was discharg ed in Dec, 1918. He married Olive Oritchley June 25, 1919 in Fillmore and all their married life has been spent there. Mr. Starley successfully operated the Critchley farm for 13 years. In 1933, Wells received the appointment ap-pointment of Fillmore Postmaster and served in that position until his recent retirement. As Postmaster, Wells was active in the National Association of Postmasters Post-masters on a state level and served as President of that group for .two years. He, also, served on various committees and as program chairman. chair-man. In 1926, he was elected to the 4-year 4-year term of Fillmore City Councilman Council-man and was elected as Mayor of Fillmore in 1929. He served one term in that office. He has been active in civic and church affairs all of his life. Of his candidacy Mr. Starley says, "Having had a great interest in public service all my life, and having made many friends in this service, many of whom urged me to announce my candidacy for this post, I now feel that because of my more relaxed schedules and my experience in public responsibilities responsibili-ties and its demands, I should like to continue to serve our area as County Commissioner. My experience experi-ence has been in keeping with the necessity of frugality in the handling hand-ling of budgeted funds and taxes as well as the need for unison and harmony in the administration of these funds and their effects. This I hope will happen, regardless of I the winner." east Millard citizens simply do NOT care whether we get a new building build-ing or not. We are recalling that we received an anonymous letter mailed from Fillmore in which even the dates of the publication of the bond notices in the two county papers were being questioned. We believe that if the board had not proposed to move the district offices of-fices to the Delta area efforts STILL would have been made to halt or stall for several years the erecting of the new facility. While the litigation is going on, our students are STILL going to school under crowded conditions; Still losing hours of school time going to and from the Palomar for P.E.; STILL us' ng Seminary rooms for classrooms. Jr. Hi students are STILL pressed for space, STILL holding classes in the high school auditorium, STILL lack proper lunch room facilities. How much longer are these conditions con-ditions going to be tolerated? Our patience is threadbare. I was delighted to hear and later read President Johnson's statement regarding today's youth and comparing com-paring them favorably with youth of his own day. It seems to me he has set a wonderful example that all our leaders ON ANY LEVEL, would do well to follow.

Black urges all taxpayers to use their Zip Code numbers on tax returns. Automatic equipment is now being installed to process Zip Code mail and the number will hasten the process. The Post Office Dept.'s ZIP Code and its acceptance by the public s providing an efficient means of moving today s heavy volumes of mail and is cutting the costs of handling such mail. George S. Hotchkiss, regional customer relations officer from the Post . Office's Regional office recently re-cently met with a group of 16 postmasters post-masters in the Provo area and will be meeting with other postmasters throughout the state and in Colorado, Colo-rado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona to discuss the Zip Code sys lem and the responsibility of the postmaster to "sell" the program in his community. The ZIP Code campaign is aimed presently at large volume mailers such as businesses and in situa tions such as colleges. 87 of the 'business firms in the nation have already agreed to go along with the program and 1500 firms are completely converted to the program pro-gram now. Such conversion means that these firms are using automatic auto-matic data processing equipment to sort and zip code address their mail before it is delivered to the post office. Such activity cuts the amount of handling at the home post office level and moves mail faster to its proper destination. First class mail sent by the average av-erage person who uses Zip Code does not move any faster without the code since most post offices do not yet have the automatic e-quipment. e-quipment. Jn the very near future all mail will be handled toy such equipment and moved faster. T.Y. Station Hears Completion The new one hundred watt units have arr.ved and have been installed, in-stalled, Bill Bishop, Station Manager, Man-ager, reports. The uni;s were toeing installed last Friday and Saturday which accounted ac-counted for some temporary interruption inter-ruption of service last weekend. The units are operating very good and much improvement should be noted especially in the out-lying ereas. Channel four still has to have the receiving antenna moved to a new location and this should be done this week, weather permiting. At present, the picture still has a fair amount of snow due to the weak incoming s'gnal. The interruption last Sunday and again Monday morning were caused by power failure in Oak City due to the storm. Channel two should remain the best picture with channel five and seven close 'behind. Four will be improved but will not be quite as good as the others. This is determined deter-mined by the amount of incoming signal picked up at the site. - Contrary to some 'belief, these units and present antenna will pass color pictures very well and no changes should be necessary to re ceive an excellent color picture providing of course, that teleview ers have a color T.V. set.

Recenlly, I accompanied a bus load of students on the DHS Traveling Tra-veling Assembly. Miss Julie Bogh, Bus Driver and myself - were the only adults. The young people were well behaved and presented a fa r picture of DHS, I'm sure, at all three schools where the assembly was presented. Do you like Ordinances? I mean, do you like to read an ordinance book and wonder why a certain one isn't enforced or for that matter mat-ter why it was ever adopted? Here are two that makes you wonder. One is from the county ordinances and one is from Delta City ordinances. Delta City Ordinance IS, (Public Offenses) section 25: Expectoration and Spitting in Public Prohibited. "It shall be unlawful for any person per-son to expectorate or spit or throw cigar stumps, cigarette stumps or quids of tobacco on the floor of any j street railway car or other public uuiivcjaiice or puDiic ouiiuing or upon any paved sidewalk or paved crosswalk within the City."

ALFALFA SEED CHAFF OR OTHER FORAGE CROPS TBEATET WITH CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON IN SECTICIDES. WHY? 1. Chlorinated Hydro carbons, such as: Aldrin, Dieldrin, Hep-tachlor, Hep-tachlor, Chlordane, Endrin, Lindane, Toxaphene, and DDT have persistent long-lasting residual effects on forage feed 2. The Chlorinated Hydrocarbons tend to accumulate in the body fat and milk of animals , that eat feeds treated with these chemical compounds The U. S. Food and Drug Ad 3. ministration has established minimum tolerances for chem ical compounds in or on food products and has developed techniques to detect extremely extreme-ly small traces of residue. To comply with the regulations of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration Admin-istration we deem it necessary to exclude the chlorinated hydrocarbon hydrocar-bon chemicals from forage crop use and caution farmers to follow application ap-plication instructions of other chem icals carefully.
