You all proved it by putting on the Melon Day festival while I lay flat on my back in bed and tried not to lose a very sore leg, bruised when I fell on my steps. And from what I hear, Melon Days went off in great style. I am more than grateful to Louise Shcrrill, Richard Ryan, Ben .-, White, the Jeep Posse, all ;' Jhose who entered floats, and ; everyone who helped make it a success.

UTAH COMMUNITY PROGRESS The judges of Utah Community Com-munity Progress were met on Monday afternoon at the airport by the High School Band. The band mothers couldn't think of a better way of demonstrating that the past couple of years have seen new uniforms purchased for that organization. The judges, Mrs. Marie Arnot, Coordinator of Community Com-munity Development Program of the University of Nebraska; Dale Carpenter, Director of Utah Division of Industrial Development; and John Cra-gun. Cra-gun. Business Administration Department of Utah State University. Bobby V. Walker, of Utah Department of Transportation, Trans-portation, and director of Division of Aeronautics piloted the plane. The judges were met by a committee of Green River, called together by Mrs. Shirley Ramsay. The firemen were visited at the firehouse, and the new ambulance examined, but none of the firemen were able to make the tour of various accomplishments. Other welcoming delegates and their organizations were: Mrs. Edna Anderegg, Woman's Wo-man's Club; Mrs. Pearl Baker, Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. Louise Sherrill, cemetery project; pro-ject; Mrs. Clydene Womack, Band Mothers; Mrs. Max Anderson and Mrs. Harold Wright,. Sorority; Mayor Rey Lloyd Hatt and Councilman Ben Behnke. There were a number of accomplishments to discuss. In the past two years, the town has bought band uniforms, a new modular ambulance, set up a Travel Center, filmed a promotional movie, built a fine library, together with collecting collect-ing a pictorial history of the area, put irrigation water to the cemetery, built rest rooms at the City Park, finished the Medical Clinic, planted 1,500 trees, as well as carried out a number of smaller projects. We all worked like crazy all the time, but when we came to evaluate the accomplishments, we were amazed at what had been done. If we get a prize, fine-if not. we surely have made this a better town to live in. and working together like we are learning to do, no telling how far we can go.

POSSE PALS On the 19th of September the Green River Posse Pals served food, registered and counted bike riders at the Green River Sheriffs Posse Motocross Race. A lot of work is required by both Men and women of the Posse to put on the motocross races. The races bring people to Green River which helps the businesses and also helps provide the funds to keep the Sheriffs posse operating. The Posse Pals handmade quilt was drawn for at the Moto Cross and was won by Mr. James Banasky of the Helper State Bank. The next two weeks will be busy ones for all Posse members. We will be working towards an Oct. 10 Desert Race, "The San Rafael Mail Run." It will also be work for the bike riders who race. It is a one hundred mile endurance race across the San Rafael desert with a good part of it cross-country and the rest following as nearly as possible the old Pony Express Trail and freight wagon road. All of the area is beautiful in case any of the riders are going slow enough to enjoy the scenery.
