G Peterson of the road commission promised those gathered together together together to to- to- to gether at Vernal on November that the contract for preparing this stretch would be let in in a few v weeks Many weeks have elapsed and still it is is n not of even advertised advertised advertised ad ad- which must d contract b by y several weeks We hope the unexplained del delay will vill soon be terminated This stretch the roughest between bet Vernal Ver- Ver nal and Salt Lake City is is a constant menace to life and limb a constant cost of auto expense to those who vho must travel it and a disgrace to the st state te road system Of equal importance is the much needed employment relief the project could give to this section of the county could it be put nut under way IT WAS A H OF A YEAR 1935 was vas a h h hof of a year if you listen to the editors editor's story Nobody could possibly feel sorrier for himself than he the editor thought as he got up an in the morning morning morning morn morn- ing and pulled on a pair of stained ink-stained pants bought too long ago from a local merchant who vho could not afford afford afford af af- af- af ford to advertise in the paper For breakfast he had hada a bowl vl of cereal which seemed kind of tasteless because because because be be- cause the merchant he had bought it from couldn't see his way vay clear to advertise a little and he drank some coffee which Thich was vas pretty bitter for the same reason And so to work vork his mind busy with mixed thoughts of the unpaid bills at the shop and something something some some- thing cheerful to say in the paper to his readers Once at work vork trying to put out a good paper on a reduced force his mind was vas too occupied with the tasks at hand to dwell vell long on worries until a subscriber subscriber subscriber sub sub- scriber who had not paid up an for two VO years came canIe in into into into to kick because his name had been left out of the report report report re re- re- re port of the doings at so and sos so's printed in the last paper The editor tried to explain that it wasn't an i intentional omission but merely the result of too many things on his mind when the article was vas written written writ writ- ten but didn't succeed very well vell and so with sails hanging slack and mind upset he sallied forth forth- to hunt for more news vs to fill the space he had hoped honed someone might buy for advertising And so it went vent day after day until the editor was vas even glad to hear that so and so couldn't pay his mortgage and a legal notice of sale required by law v would be published and bring in a little rev revenue nue forthe for forthe forthe the paper Its a darned poor world thought the editor edito when the only bright spots are conne connected ted with someone else's troubles I guess Ill I'll just quit theold the theold theold old paper and see if the town to will vill miss it But he liked his old town to and thought it should have a paper so he kept plugging along until finally the New v Year rolled around Yes it was vas a h h hof of a year was vas 1935 but that was vas last year and the depression was vas still on This year i is going to be different you just wait vait and see |
