A section of sixty of these prizewinning pictures will be on exhibit at the Duchesne High School from Jan. 9 to Jan. 25th. The collection of fine prints' is s a glimpse through the' looking glass. Its what your sister or brother or the boy next doer made his camera sdy about the world around us. Its a pictorial wonderland of personal experiences and interpretations.

For pictures make a really universal kind of communication, and the most universal, form of picture making is photography. show. This is a There are fine examples of design, and many prints that show the sharp, quickly observant eye of the reporter outdistancing purely artistic merit. The picture reporter and the camera commentator are notably present with prints that have caught fleeting and revealing split seconds of life.

H. Case, postmaster. The 1955' receipts amounted to $6,897.64. In 1953, postal receipts at Duchesne were $7,204.54. Greatest loss of the four quarters in receipts was the final quarter of the year ending Dec. 31. For this period the 1955 receipts amounted to $2,003.94 compared to $2,509.52 last year, or '$495.58 less, Mr. Case reported. By quarters receipts for 1955 are: $1,734.13, first; $1,610 65, second'; $1,518.92, third; $2,003.94, fourth. Comparative amounts for 1954 are: $1,969 58, first; $1,544 20 second; $1,600,90, third; $2,509.52, fourth.
