DUCHESNE, UTAH ITS FUN TO SHOP AT HOME v 4 In compliance with several requests for this column, which appeared In the December issues of the Record during 1936, it will run in the next three issues and may prove helpful to Christmas shoppers searching for that particular gift which is always so hard to find. The newspapers tell us business has taken another slump. The Duchesne merchants apparently were not aware of that when they stocked up on Christmas merchandise for the array of gifts this year are more attractive than ever before. Two gorgeous bed spreads caught my eye today. One is a heavy jacquard-i- n dusty rose with straight edges which looks as If it would wear a lifetime, yet the color and design are so beautiful it would please the most fastidious taste. The other one is a shimmering gold and pale green with wide scallops on the edges. They are priced at $5.65 and $5.25. u Kf, I Gloves are always acceptable and may be had in kid, suede, cape skin, pig skin and the new wools in brilliant colors. Something new this year is the Something New serving oven, a round spun aluminum dish with a bell cover which has a vent in the top for steam escape. Bread, rolls, crack ers or whatever you wish to heat are put into the wire basket and the whole thing is put on top of the stove. For heating bread and rolls, the vent is closed, for crisping crackers, cerals, etc,, it is left open. It is good looking enough to be used right on the table and sells for $2.49. A collection off tiny coul oil lamps only about 6 inches high complete with shade reminded me that the last time the lights went out, I couldnt find a candle and had to go to bed in the dark. They are made of spun aluminum, tinted in pastel colors, and glass and are priced at less than 51.00. One shop in Duchesne has the Handkerchiefs most complete line of handker chiefs Ive seen, frivolious affairs of lace, and large utility linen ones for men. Buy a few for yourself while youre selecting them for your friends. Christmas, after all, is for the children, and never before have the Duchesne stores had such entrancing toys. The new tricycles and wagons are in the latest stream-line- d mode. Some of the dolls look like real babies. Most children like books and they may be had in Duchesne shops for any age. If you have something in mind you cant find in Duchesne, the merchants can order it for you, there is still plenty of time, but dont wait too long, Christmas Is only two weeks away, Miss Anna Stark, primary sup' ervisor left Thursday for her home in Spanish Fork. She has been ill and will remain at home for a few days rest. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Gerry went to Salt Lake City Thursday to attend the funeral services of Mrs. Gerry's uncle Sam S. Hillman, who died in Salt Lake City & Monday. SCHOOL BOARD DISCUSSES BOND TRADE 1938 Ford (Continued From Page One) make it practically impossible for him to continue operating his busses. A delegation from the Alta-moP. T. A., Arthur Powell and Austin Taylor met with the board seeking aid for a water system for thj Altamont high school. They were advised to assemble their data and present it an a W. P. A. project. Ask Use of Busses Roland Krebs of Myton asked the board to honor a bill from Myton for water used at the school last year. He was told that as water is being furnished free by other cities in the district with water systems, It was expected that Myton would also furnish it free. Mr. Krebs said he would report to the city officials. Mrs. Horace Allred, Mrs. Othel la Felker, Principal Alvin Teus-cheand Mr. Van Fullmer of the Roosevelt P. T. A. requested the service of school busses for bring ing parents Into Roosevelt P. T A. meetings, dances and socials The board suggested that the van ious P. T. A. organizations should make their own arrangements with the bus contractors for such services, charging a small fee of those who ride them. Sells School Site Elmer Bell, contractor of the Duchesne river bus asked for an increase in his contract price, but no action was taken by the board, The board authorized the sale of the Utahn school site to Jack Olsen in trade for 1500 feet of lum ber, in compliance with a previous arrangement. Compensation to the P. T, A organizations for serving hot lunches to Indian cli.ldren was raised 5c per lunch. This represents part of the monies paid the board by the Indian department for this service; the balance is retained by the board to pay for housing, fuel, sponsors share, etc Renting of the Tabiona Ward hall for athletics and other school was approved, at activities charge of 175.00 for the school year.

J. E. L. Carey of Fruitland asked the commissioners for aid in untangling Fruitlands drouth relief well problems. There seems to bebe some misunderstanding tween the citizens of Fruitland and the drouth relief well committee concerning the payment for machinery to operate the well, which was provided by the committee. The committee, according to Mr. Carey, now threatens to remove the machinery unless payment is forthcoming. County Attorney L. A. Hollenbeck was authorized by the commissioners to investigate the situation and work out a solution for the protection of all parties concerned. Ask Nurse Aid Dr. Lloyd Farmen and Miss Mcquillen of Salt Lake City met with the board to ask that the county budget be made to include $300.00 for county nurses salaries for 1938.

COURT COUNTY BOARD AUTHORIZES ROAD FUNDS - o' es LAST RITES HELD IN TALMAGE FOR MRS. JENSEN cars for Ford 1938 go on display today in Ford dealer showrooms throughout the United States. They are offered this year as two distinct lines, differing in appearance and price. Both are in the lowest price field. standard One is a newly-style- d Ford line, in Coupe, Tudor and Fordor body types, powered either with the 85 or the 60 horsepower V-- 8 engine.

Powered only with the engine, the 85 horsepower V-- 8 types, body includes line eight the Coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans, as well as the club coupe, convertible cabriolet, club convertible cabriolet, convertable sedan and the phaeton. The two lines of cars have the same improved V-- 8 chassis, but their styling is distinctly different. The de luxe cars are larger in appearance. The hood has been Its nearly vertical lengthened. front is caried in a V well down into the radiator grille, with the familiar V-- 8 emblem at the tip of the V.
