From Time to Time by BETTINA MOENCII DOOLEY Record contributing writer 100 Years Ago "The Indian question has now resolved itself into the simple interrogation: inter-rogation: Will Geronimo and his gang of cutthroats be drawn and quartered, or simply hanged?" asked ask-ed the Park Record a century ago. Indians were not the only threat. An outbreak of yellow fever across the country prompted the newspaper to acknowledge that "there is considerable sickness in the Park new, and the physicians and nurses are quite busy." The Record mentioned another "disease" in town: "A gang of tramps infest the Park. Look out for them." The paper turned its attention to natural disasters, and noted that since the great earthquake that shook and almost ruined Charleston, "Humanity is overcome with awe." One theory about the cause of quakes centered around electricity. That seemed plausible, said the Record, since most quakes seemed to occur on the seacoast, where electrical elec-trical forces had more play. Other scientists said the rum biers began because of the generation of all-powerful all-powerful gases in the earth's boiling-hot boiling-hot core; When the gas sought escape through the earth's crust, earthquakes were caused. The Record noted that within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, no quake had occurred in the interior or mountainous part of the country. But a writer from the Scientific Press warned that there were lines of weakness, large fissures, and slips of earth's crust in the Sierra Nevada and Wasatch ranges. "The cliffs of the Wasatch mountains are of such formation, and some day Salt Lake may be destroyed," said the author. The Record pointed out that Park City should be safe during such an event, given its high perch above Salt Lake. But even the possibility of such a dreaded occurence didn't dull the editor's sharp tongue. If a quake happens, he said: "We will be selfish enough to hope that sufficient of the Mormon polygamists, priesthood and tyrannical ring will be swallowed swallow-ed up in order to make Utah a better member of Uncle Sam's body." 25 Years Ago Mayor Bill Sullivan announced that a bond election would be held with the November general election, in hopes of raising funds to make road repairs.

"Twenty years ago a severe skiing accident left me with recurring back pain and stiffness. "Some days my back bothered me so severely I found it hard to get out of bed in the morning. "I finally went to Dr. Cofer hoping for relief- and found it! "He diagnosed a spinal problem and after three months of treatment and a special exercise program my back pain was gone. "I feel better than I have in years and my biggest regret is than I didn't go to the Cofer Chiropractic Clinic sooner. "If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain or any other similar discomfort, I highly recommend Cofer care. It changed my life." - m Cofer Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic 649-1017 - Located on Hwy. 224 accross from Park City Golf Course and Park Avenue, plus new curb, gutter and sidewalks. The mayor noted that it was an opportunity op-portunity that may never present itself again, since the roads were part of the state highway system, and the state goverenment had agreed to put $130,000 toward the $175,000 project. That left just $45,000 to be raised throguh bond issue. The mayor urged the Parkites to vote "yes!" The Record asked Parkites to pitch in with their very essence that " week.

She was in need of 23 donors of O-negative blood, and the paper put out a plea for help. Also that week, Charles Steen was named executive vice presidnet and a director of New Park Mining Co., one of the area's silver-lead-zinc-gold producer. In mining circles, Steen was best known for forsaking the oil industry and job security to prospect for uranium.

The senior citizens had a home, thanks to the donation by the Union Pacific Railroad of the old Keetley depot building. The building was transported to Woodside Avenue for $5,500, and placed on a piece of city land behind the fire station that leased leas-ed to seniors for $1 a year. Said President Violet Terry of the new Park City Senior Citizens Center, "it will be a meeting place we can call our own." Tragedy was averted at the Claim-jumper Claim-jumper restaurant when a woman fell unconscious after choking on a bit of her dinner. Thanks to the quick reactions of Gary Avise and Leigh Terry, the woman was Heimliched and resuscitated.

Q ' CMtf Cflaati by Bea Kummer Saddened by the loss of Josephine Claypool It has been many years since Reuben and Josephine were our neighbors on Empire Avenue during dur-ing the 1930's. Josephine was my 4-H leader with Florence Martin Cossey as her assistant, many good times were spent as a member of the Dor-cus Dor-cus Club learning to sew along with Joan and Ruby Wheelwright, Lorrae and Lorraine Sweatfield. Having seen the Claypools very few times over the years, never the less was saddened by the news of her death. Josephine was 74 when she died after a short illness in the Napa hospital. She was a native of Amarillo, Texas and had lived in Vallejo from 1940 to 1968 when they moved to Napa. Vacation time seems to bring old timers home, one of these was Stella Price Tschacher of Pocatello, Idaho. Stella has been visiting at the home of Ralph and Nettie Garbett, and on Saturday Emma Lemmon and I had a nice visit with her when she stopped stop-ped at Emma's and was on her way home. It was great to visit with an old friend, and reminisce about old times she is always so much fun. Friday September 26 was Martin Knutsens 83rd birthday which was celebrated at the home of Elden and Marcine Price. Dinner was enjoyed by six couples and our younger brother Sherman. It was a real enjoyable en-joyable evening for my brothers and sisters to be with our parents for this very special time, Mom and Dad have a fantastic garden where they grow thirteen kinds of vegetables and eleven kinds of fruit, and each of us enjoy the harvest of the garden. I am truly thankful for the closeness and love we have with one another. Beverly and Earl had just returned from spending two weeks in Hawaii and Bev was dressed in a very pretty blue and white mumu, and their stories of the things they saw brought out the memories of those who had been in Hawaii during dur-ing the war. It was fun to hear them talk of things they had seen then and now all in all it was a good time for all of us to be together.
