JULY Kohls Market Puts New Pavement In Front of Their Store The Kohl Market of Duchesne has repaved the sidewralk in front of their store. The new pavement is a fine piece of cement work, strongly reinforced at the street edge, so that cars and trucks bumping against it will not break it down as the old one was. It also has a number of steel reinforcements laid under the cement, an additional strength the importance of which was not realized at the time the old pavement was put down. An interesting feature in connection with the removal of the old sidewalk was the removal of an old tank from under the original paving. This tank was the first one put in by a store for selling gasoline in a commercial way in this city, Kohls market installing this tank for that purpose many years agoo. Some time ago they discontinued the sale of gas at their market, but the tank was never removed until the old broken up and taken away to make way for the new paving. When the tank was taken out it was nearly full of water, which had drained into it from the rains which had caused, water to run in the ditch and drain into the tank.

From the start of the drive it progressed much slower than those in charge of it had anticipated. With the invasion beginning just a few days before the Bond Drive it was thought that the drive would go over quickly. It seems, however, that for the citizens of Duchesne this is a rather hard time of the year to secure money. On tiie morning of July 8th the bulletin in the post office Showed about $8250.00 in bonds sold, but by late afternoon the repent was $14,699.00, which was an oversubscription of $2,199.00. A great deal of credit Is due our chairman, George C. Kohl, and the efficient organization he gathered around him. The ladles vho called on the people of Duchesne worked diligently, and their good work was shown by the splendid manner in which the campaign closed. Members of the organization are: George C. Kohl, Helen Hollenbeck, Mrs. Ed Wikms, Mrs, Orin Olsen, Mrs. Vern Rife, Mis. D. L. McDonald, Mrs. Carlos Marsing, Mrs. dairies Bai ton, Mrs. Olen Rasmussen, Mrs. Ralph Rowley, Mrs. H. A.

Mr and Mrs. Jacoby took their six year old daughter Betty Jo to Salt Lake, Saturday for a tonsilectomy. Miss Ethel Fouse accompained them. The operation was successful and they returned to Duchesne last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Vern Rife took their little daughter to the Holy Cros3 hospital in Salt Lake last Tuesday morning. The little girl had been ill for a few days, and her condition was such that she needed hospital care. Mrs. Rife remained in Salt Lake for a few days more, and Mr. Rife returned Wednesday. leave Duchesne.
