Duchesne Isnt So Hot Mrs. Nina Burger writes from Greenriver, Utah, to correct a statement made in last weeks Record, (taken from a report by the Tribune) that Delta and Milford were the hottest points in Utah a week ago Wednesday. she says, didn't Greenriver, get its report in. It was 112 Wednesday and 110 Thursday. Our Duchesne temperature record equalled the thirty-yea- r this week with a 98. However toward the middle of the week, it dropped and recorded only 92 for Tuesday and Wednesday with the hottest night only 58 degrees. Mrs. Burger, we Invite you hack to Duchesne to cool off. Room 180 C. of the lower campus. Children are expected to attend be. tween 9 and 12 a. m. or 1 and 3 p. m. of that day. This clinic i3 an outgrowth of speech work done by Dr. Morley and his assistants in connection with the Crippled Childrens Division of the State Board of Health. Dr. Morley believes this service should be given to all children with speech defects regardless of the cause of deformity. Thus, all children with any speech defect are invited by Dr. Morley to attend the clinic. Individual attention will be given each child present, together with advice for his future care. A speech defect may be a great burden to its victim. The longer such a defect is let go the more difficult it will be to cure in most cases. If you know of any child with a speech defect in Utah, Tooele, Duchesne or Uintah Wasatch, counties you may do that child a great service by notifying his parents of this clinic and by assisting in bringing the child to the clinic Deputy Commissioner Makes Plea For Care of Wild Life (By J. P. Madsen) Deputy Game Commissioner The present drouth is equally as drastic as in 1934. All species of life including wild life is effected. Deer have been forced from their natural haunts down to lower levels along the streams to the city limits. Sage chickens have congregated along the canal systems; beaver are being forced from the lower dry stream beds into our irrigation systems and pheasants, due to the splendid hatching and brooding conditions, have become so numerous that in some places they are a menace. The responsibility of furnishing feed and shelter for these and many other species of wild life, is up to the farmer, who is proving himself to be the genuine sportsman, he has always been. Everywhere I find a sentiment among them to live and let live. They appreciate the value of wild game and are willing to protect it. And as you may expect, it arouses their anger when some cheap guy, posing as a sportsman, comes into their fields molesting the game. Just recently I have had complaints from a few farmers that deer have been pursued in their fields, with rifles, not only endangering the lives of their cattle, but their famhigh-power- ed ilies. Pheasants have been shot from the highway; beaver dams cut and the fish poached, and other violations of the game laws by those who are so small as to take ad. vantage of the present serious con- dition. May I say this to the smart guy. Sooner or later you will be apprehended and when you come before the court you can rest assured that I shall do all in my power to see to it that the Judge does not spare the rod.

GELEBRATION HELD SATURDAY Many Attend Services For Victim Of Accident Team-Wago- n Last rites for John T. Rowley, Mtn. Home pioneer were held in the Mtn. Home ward hall Saturday afternoon at 1 p. m. A large crowd of relatives and friends which filled the hall and flowed over into the yard about the entrance was present to hear several speakers pay their respects to the 68 year old pioneer and father. Mr. Rowley met death July 11th in a team and wagon accident on the Nick Killian hill near his home. He died shortly after being dragged several feet by the team and wagon, receiving compound skull fractures and severe head and face lacerations. All Family Present The body was brought from Duchesne where it was prepared for burial Saturday morning, and lay in state in the Rowley home until the time of the service. All of Mr. immediate family were present, along with a host of friends to join in the procession to the hall. A brother, Hugh Row-le- y offered words of prayer before the procession left the home. At the hall services, conducted by O. J. Anderson, were opened with a song, followed by prayer by Hugh Rowley. Another song, I'll go where you want me to go, was by the Mtn. Home quartet composed of Mrs. Lillis Wilkins, Mrs. Dolly Lyons, Mrs. Nona Miles and Mrs. Veora Farnsworth. No Bones Broken He was picked up immediately and carried to the office of School Clerk C. C. Mickelson, who went for Dr. F. L. Murray who was out on another case. Since the Doctors office was not open, the childs mother, who arrived on the scene a few minutes after, asked that he be taken to the first aid station, where skin abraisions were treated. Soon afterward Dr. Mur. ray arrived, and examined the child thoroughly, finding only shock and cerebral concussion which apparently was not serious, as the result. Thursday evening the child was reported in good condition, with a possible slight injury to the hips which were too sore and swollen however, for the extent of injury to be determined, though there is definitely no evidence of any broken bones. Roosevelt Man Acquitted Of Driving Charge A Jury composed of four men, Wm. H. Fitzwater, Chris Cluff, Titus Jones and Ray Knox acquitted Axel Birch of Roosevelt of a charge of reckless driving In Justice of the Peace George H. court here last Saturday.

Those that are working do not think their jobs very desirable. These are the two outstanding facts of the youth unemployment problem in America, according to Dr. Frank K. Shuttleworth, professor of educational and vocational guidance at the college of the city of New York, a guest instructor at the University of Utah sum. mer school. Of every 100 young men between the ages of 16 and 24 In United States, 23 are still in school, 47 are working, and 30 are looking for jobs and cant find them, according to Dr. Shuttleworth. Of 100 women in that age group, 23 are in school, 30 are married end keeping house, 28 are working, and 19 are on the labor market. The speaker took his figures from a re. rearch group of the American Youth Commission. Though industrial revival would greatly alleviate unemployment, the solution to the problem of de. slrable jobs is one of psychology, Dr. Shuttleworth told a summer school audience. American vocational ambitions are set too high. In the past imigrants did the hard cheap labor. Each generation wants a better job than Dad had, and we have been able to climb the vocational ladder because the imigrants were ready to stand on the lower rungs, Shuttleworth exNow American peothe plained. ple must face the fact that we must do the dirty work in the future, the monotonous unskilled hard day labor. We and our chil. dren cant continue to climb the vocational ladder. Other ways of coping with the unemployment of youth are vocational guidance, and keeping children in school over a longer period of years by establishing junior colleges and raising the age for compulsory attendance.

Oman left today to take a pair of ancient elk horns to the L. D. S. museum. These antlers belonged to an elk killed on the first white mans trek from Mt. Pleasant to Castle Dale in 1875. Mr. Oman's father, Aaron Oman tn company with flve other white men and two Indians drove a herd of cattle to Castle Dale, building a road as they went. Historical diaries record that on the trip which took nine days, 1 elk, 2 deer, 1 bear and 1 mount in sheep were killed. The Indians were in the party to help scout the best rout and to make peace with hostile Indians. The horns were brought to Duchesne from Castle Dale, where Mr. Oman and his family spent last week end. |
