Show Just Whistle .... Or Was It? A I used to live in a town with whistles. All day long and through the night, whistles of one kind or another went off with a piercing shrillness. However, it is said that people who work in a boiler factory eventually don't notice the noise at all; it merely becomes part of the background. And we in our town grew accustomed were to the whistles. They not only were not annoying--the- y most useful. In our town, we always knew what time it was. The whistle blowing equipment was housed in the candy factory, the coal mine, the police station, and in the engines at the many trains that cut our town in half every day. As I remember it, whistles went offat5:30inthe morning, 6 oclock and 7:30. These whistles made it possible for everyone to get up on time, get breakfast and hustle everyone off to work or to school. The 11:30 whistle meant "time to fix lunch and the noon whistle meant eat it. Quiet again until 4 when another one went off, followed by 5:30 and 6 a big help for the cook. Children came in at the 8 oclock whistle. Teenagers absolutely had to be in Saturday nights by the sound of 11:30. And at midnights noise, everything closed down on signal. (The 4 AM., I am told, also went off every morning as scheduled, but I rarely heard that one.) My favorite whistle was the one on the police station that blew only at noon. It was fun to be downtown and wait for it to go off. At precisely 12 noon, one could always sort out the strangers from the inhabitants they were the ones who dropped their cups or jumped in the air or ran into other cars when that particularly earpiercing noise went off. tri-col- Award or w, ,' near-trage- Tho summer season is fast eomlhg to a close and with it disappear many of the activities we all enjoy o much during the warm months.

He is looking forward to bis eleventh and final run of the season on September 17 west Water Highlight of all his summer boating activities was a trip on the Salmon the latter part of July which included his wife, Shirley, and two Salt Lakers, Sheldon Stromness and John Orton. The boaters were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dee Holladay of Murray, Utah, owners of the 21' pontoon boat they traveled in. When the six boaters left Salt Lake City in July they were headed for the Middle Fork of the Salmon, and after leaving the starting point at Dagger Falls they encountered all types at obstacles for the first few miles on the water which Mr. Lee described as a 'boatman's nightmare.' He said it took a great deal of know-hoalong with courage to maneuver the craft through the churning rapids and large rocks they were constantly being thrust against. Before reaching the Middle F ork of the Salmon, the party passed through a countless number of rapids such as Han-oc- k, Popcupine. Redside, Pistol Creek, Gold Mill and Scoop (a rapid they said was well named because it did exactly that ...It scooped them up and out and then put them back down again). A occurred about halfway on the trip whil attempting to pass through a particularly rough rapid. Mr. Dee Holladay was suddenly thrust from the boat into the rapids and with him went the fishing gear. After retrieving Mr. Holladay from the water they all agreed it was a hair-raisiexperience and not only that, it put a halt to any ideas they might have had about fishing. The party was successful in reaching the Middle Fork on the third day of the trip, and even though they said it was 'rather exciting at times' would go again if they had a chance. Mr. Richmond has pursued his aquatic hobby for nearly five years and said be tries to squeeze at least seven to ten trips in each season if nossible.

Mrs. C.

The panama Limited had a lovely, to elegant sound as it took off, just after dinner, on its swift way to New Orleans and promised gaiety. On its way back, it paused pick up sleepy passengers at 5:30 in the morning, and then raced on to Chicago, its whistle blasting a warning to the drowsy crossroads all along the way. Freight train bells and whistles would come through the warm, summer nights a freakish wind blowing the sound so close that one could hear the steam coming from the wheels almost see the old I.C. passenger station, hot and dreary, uncomfortably old fashioned under the harsh flourescent lights. All this may sound as though it was a noisy town. In reality, it wasnt. We heard the whistles only subconsciously, unknowingly glancing at watches and clocks to see if they were true. The one whistle that no one wanted to hear was the disaster signal at the mine. Rarealy did it go off (1 heard it only once) but when it blew its eerie blast, long drawn out and over and over, the whole town stopped and held its brath. It blew for five long minutes in 1947 when over a hundred men were trapped far below the surface of the ground, and one hundred and eleven men were hoisted to the top in canvas under sooty coal dust. slings by fellow workers, chalk-facThey worked all through the night and dreary, graying dawn to bring up the shrouded bodies, one by one, while relatives waited silently by the mine. And everyone prayed they would never hear that frightening, chilling sound again of the mine disaster whistle.
