The afternoon children's sports will be carried out by Nolan Curtis and Wilford Durrant, also, with prizes for the winners. A canoe race is in the planning stage, and will probably come before the children's part of the program if enough contestants can be interested. There will be a ball game from 4 to 6 p.m., with the next item on the program the fireworks at 10. Fire Depasrtmcnt Success "Under the Western Skies" was a financial success and a great evening's entertainment. entertain-ment. Mrs. Charlotte Seely i was chairman of the Talent Show, and oilier features, and reports that several hundred dollars were taken in to apply on the new modular ambu-la ambu-la nee. The Fire Hall was beautifully beautiful-ly decorated, even to stars hanging from the ceiling over the stage, which was resplendent resplen-dent with a color scheme of yellow, green and white and smelled wonderful with sagebrush sage-brush and cedars. Local organizations sold food, with the Legion Auxiliary in charge of sandwiches, Senior Citizens having pie and punch, Posse Pals offering salads from an iced salad bar, Sorority offering snow cones, candy and popcorn balls, and Woman's Club sponsoring one of their popular bake sales. Door prizes added to the fun, and the evening was kept moving along by Mrs. Allene Spadafora and Mrs. Louise Sherrill in clown costumes selling balloons and clowning in great style. The afghan, donated by Mrs. Ruth Neilson, was won by Millie Bowman. The program was short but entertaining, with a dancing horse, big heads and a fashion show furnishing the main items. An unscheduled event all but stole the evening. A group of square dancers from Boulder, Boul-der, Colo., en route to the Bicentennial Final Square Dance convention at Anaheim, Calif., found themselves marooned mar-ooned overnight here when their bus broke down. Somehow, Some-how, the firemen learned about this, and invited them to participate in the fun evening. Two sets and the caller, all in costume, showed up and added a finale to the evening lh.it was most appreciated bv local people. Mrs. Secly staled that she and Bob had a lot of fun gelling ready for this event, even to gathering sage and cedars in the middle of the night for the stage, when the day ran out on them, but without the help and cooperation coopera-tion of the entire community, they could not have brought it all off so successfully. Takes Mother Home Joel Martone drove his mother back to her home in Colorado Springs this weekend, week-end, returning Sunday evening even-ing on the bus. Mrs. Wilma Kelly has been visiting Joel and Jolene for a couple of weeks, running their business here while they made a weekend trip into Salt Lake City. Thank You Mrs. Stella Curtis wishes to thank all her friends for their kindnesses during her recent illness and stay in the Price Hospital. She greatly appreciated appre-ciated the many calls, cards, letters, flowers and prayers that helped her through a serious operation and illness. She is now home, and asks her friends to stop in and let her thank them personally. Goes Fishing Mr. and Mrs. John Folsom took their camp trailer and spent a week on the Fremont, fishing and resting. This was the first major outing they had enjoyed for a year or two, and they returned home greatly refreshed. The Wildcat Society The Wildcat Gorge Boozing and Wilderness Society is enjoying an outing to their base of operations in the west. This elite group was organized about seven years ago when six men from the Sacadoac Oil Company came out to geologize geolo-gize the holdings of the company near the Flint Trail south of Robbers Roost. An oil well W.ls SIll'M ,!!'l(lcd on the leases, lull has not been brought into production. When they returned to Connecticut, Bill Hart, president presi-dent of the oil company, and Fd Kirby, who was the geologist on the trip, and other stockholders organized the Wildcat Gorge Boozing and Wilderness Society. Completely Complet-ely captivated by the Butch Cassidy legend (you remember remem-ber that is about the time the movie, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" came out) they leaned somewhat to that format. They have always kept their dues funds in a bank in Moab, since there was not at either Hanksville or Robbers Rob-bers Roost these funds, however, how-ever, have never risen above the two-figure level. The attorney for the company, com-pany, who had not been on the trip west, watched them at their luncheon club meetings, and wanted in on the fun. They reluctantly agreed that there was nothing in their non-existent by-laws that precluded adding members, but they would have to take him in on a strictly trial basis. About the second meeting, the attorney made a simple remark, and six forks were poised in mid-air while six pairs of eyes levelled on him accusingly. He protested his innocence of any wrong-doing, but they informed him that he had made a statement which showed that he lacked the proper humility. After apologizing, apolo-gizing, they agreed to let him contninue in his trial membership member-ship if he would polish their shoes to show his humble state. He agreed to do so, and the next meeting they all brought their field boots for him to polish. The only Westerner who has attained any standing in the association is Jesse Ekker in Hanksville, who is an honorary member. Making the check on the property this summer are Bill Hart, Ed Kirby, Dr. Richard Tiedemann and Fred Stevenson. Steven-son. They drove to the property on Monday and back on Tuesday, stopping off in " Hanksville to visit the Ekkers. New Book Ed Kirby, Sharon, Conn., has a new book coming out on his research and investigations into the Butch Cassidy-Sun-dance Kid activities in New York City. Filter Press at Palmer Lake, Colo., will bring out the small volume, which will also contain some research on the background and childhood child-hood of the Sundance Kid. New Housing Planned Jim Siders, sales representative represen-tative for Boise Cascade homes is in town looking into the possibility of setting up a housing project for people who will work at the coal-fired electric plant in the very south end of Emery County. Mr. Siders states that Green River has great possibilities because of the water and sewer plants already in operation. opera-tion. Brother Visits While Mrs. Letitia Thompson Thomp-son was in Cedar City at Girls State, her brother, Howard F. Goldsmith and his wife from College Station, Texas, spent a day or two here. They had been to a Mullins reunion in Durango, and afterward, the Goldsmiths and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Olson, Long Island, N.Y. and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Mullins of Omaha, Nebraska came on over to visit with Sinclair and Letitia. Sinclair and Marshall took them on a river trip, and the group also enjoyed sightseeing and rock-hounding rock-hounding in this area. On her way home from Girls State, Letitia stopped off to visit Lula Betenson, and found that she had bumped her leg which she injured last December, Decem-ber, and was having trouble with it again. |
