B M, Mw 'Wji Mri' Joseph Benfell, 76 died Saturday afternoon as a result of injuries received at 6 a. m. on South State Street, near 33rd South in Salt Lake City, when he was struck down by an automobile driven by 2nd Lt. Vardell Holladay of the Bridgeland CCC camp According to Hollidays story, he was attempting to make a turn off from State Street, when Benfell, pushing a wheelbarrow, left the sidewalk and was squarely in front of the auto before Holladay saw him. He hit both the man and wheelbarrow squarely. He attempted to drive his car for help but a handle of the wheelbarrow had pierced the radiator and the car quit him. He was released on his own recognizance by' Deputy Sheriff R. C Jackson of Salt Lake who investigated the accident. Benfell was taken to the hospital, where he died in the afternoon from the injuries. Lt. Holladay left Duchesne Thursday, in response to a call from his attorney in Salt Lake, on matters pertaining to the accident. fjAWpdORJTe I like to turn mens thoughts away From struggle and from strife, And have them contemplate with me The happy things of life. I like to lead them down the paths Of Natures wonderland, Where beauty, cheer and peace of mind Are found on every hand. With every setting sun; It seems to me that we should find Release from daily care, And spend more time where friendly joys Are waiting everywhere. And bitterness and pain! that fill our lives With drudgery and toil Are such a foolish price to pay For all the fun they spoil! So many things i n4wU And so, I like to turn mens thoughts, As often as I may, To things that help them to forget The burdens of the day; I like to guide their weary steps Where friendliness and cheer Will drive discouragement away, And bring contentment near.

Mrs. Shanks went on to say that in the year 1928, about 75 deaths from diphtheria occurred among children in Utah and the death has rapidly declined since then, due to immunization, until last year, only two deaths occurred. Ordinarily, these medicines are rather expensive, but due to the cooperation of the State Medical rate has rapidly declined since, Board, the nurses are able to get them for actual cost, if advantage of the offer 13 taken Immediately According to Mrs. Shanks, the new diphtheria toxoid, which is given in one shot, is painless and the patient suffers no after effects and a "take means life immun- vaccination The smallpox five be should every repeated on, business Wednesday. years for safety.

Chateau At a special meeting of the City Council Wednesday evening, C. H. Seleh was appointed Mayor of Duchesne, to finish out the term in the vacancy left by the death of Paul I Allen, who died in Salt Lake City July 30th. Since that time, Councilman A. M. Murdock has been acting as mayor pro tem, while the council has vainly tried to find a substitute satisfactory to all. At a meeting two months ago, C. W. Smith, county assessor, was appointed to the position, but delayed making bis qualifications, and has now declined, on the ground that having lost In his race for reelection, he will probably make bis home elsewhere after the first of the year. Only Nominee At the meeting this week, Mr. Seleh, one of the newer of the towns residents, was the only nom inee for the position. Mr. Seleh came to Duchesne in 1928 to take over the management of the Mutual Creamery plant here. Altho he has not taken an active interest In politics of any sort, he has become known to Duchesne residents as an enthusiastic worker in whatever line of endeavor he undertakes, and much is expected of him as a sane, levelheaded leader In the citys affairs. Mr. Murdock will continue In the capacity of Mayor Pro tem, until the new mayor qualifies, which it is expected he will do at once. Ctrny Cows What is hoped will be a definite solution to the stray animal question was also decided upon by the Council in their meeting. For the past several rnonhs, it seems that when the animals were taken to the pound by the marshall, they would be out again almost before the marshall could get home, and the owners were not forced to pay any sort of fee. Arrangements have been made for a new pound, and a sliding scale of fees decided upon for the release of any Impounded animals. Beginning at 25c, the fee doubles each time the same partys animal is impounded until lt reaches $4 00. In this way, the Council feels that the penalty will not be too heavy for the one who tries to keep his animals properly corralled, but will put a heavy enough fine on the habitual offender, that he will soon find it cheaper to keep his animal home and buy feed. CCC Workers To Restore Monument A monument, said to be the In memory of George first erected Washington, now a tumble of rock on South Mountain near Boons-borMd., is being restored by the Civilian Conservation Corps, it was recently announced by Mr. Robert Fechner, director of Emergency Conservation work. The 450 citizens of the hamlet of Boonsboro, which Is located about 12 miles southeast of Hagerstowm and 75 miles from Cumberland, sponsored erection of the monument in 1827. Mr. Isaac C. Lutz, known as one of the finest rock-wal- l' builders in the land, superin-stone- s without the use of mortar. The remains of the monument tended the skilful placing of the Indicate that lt was 54 feet high. Inside are stairs leading to a terraced top. In the CCC restoration, mortar will be used but in such a manner as not to be seen. Up through the structure will (run stairs like those built In 1K27, and on top will be a small flat space on which visitors may view the countryside. The monument stands approximately 1,200 feet above Boonsboro nmidat a formation called, from its coloring, Blue Rocks. The structure and several acres surrounding it are the property of tl Slate of Maryland. An effort is being made to secure additional acreage and have it developed Into a state park with the okl monument as a nucleus. o, |
