And it may become a listful picture to see the KPs treading their wratchful and wary way to a silent hour not spent in the kitchen police work. The deed is done! The excuse prevails! The story as told by the iconoclasts who by the way are known to all as Messrs. Curly Hill and Bob Turner is to the effect, that in the intares't'3 of sanitary science, they had decided to explore the front of the little Brown House through the medium of an abundant shot of creosote and a match. It appears, however, that Curley, the latrine sentinel, who by the way is a fond student of chemistry, informed Bob that gasoline was a close and fervent friend of creosote. Bob thoroughly convinced, produced the ga,5, and arm in arm this violent pair of experimenters hied themselves the bridge. Curley shot his creosote down into the basement, Bob followed with the gas, then the former struck the torch of Lucifer. Followed a terrific crash. The kitchen trembled, swayed, then thoughtfully settled back upon its foundation. A fleeting second and two missiles hurtled with a dull thud against the cooks quarters. The culinary staff with great concern rushed outside to view, with alarm two bodies. Eager hands reached forward, but doubly eager hands withdrew and clasped noses all too eager to be. clasped.

Adv. had previously made arrangements. -- When Mr. Miles Judd, Dramatic Art instructor at the Uintah high school, first introduced the group the boys were intensely interested and felt that something worthwhile was about to take place. Mr. Judd very capably acted as Master of Ceremonies and announc ed the following program: Piano solo, Medeley of popular pieces, Miss Marie Singleton, instructor of ladies physical education and business at tho U. H. S. Following Miss Singleton, Iowa Hacking played My Old Kentucky Home as a Saw solo. Within the Law, leading, Miss Helen Tenney. At this point Mr. Judd gave a very humorous reading about an old farmer going to a basketball game, which brought forth bursts of laughter and applause from the audience. Miss Singleton next gave a tap dance, followed with a tenor Banjo solo by Mr. Judd. Mr. Judd stated after he got thru playing that it was the first time he had been so f righened since he was a little boy when a bear chased him up a tree down in St. George. Miss Helen Tenney next favored with a tap dance and the concluding number was a vocal solo, On The Trail Of The Y," by Mr. Judd. Miss Gwena Eaton did all the accompanying on the piano. Following the program the entertainers were seated to a light lunch in the mess hall under the dilection of Mess Steward, Aaron Williams. Later the group was shown about the camp by Capt. Cannon, 1st Lt. Chas. K. Soesbe, Dr. Alton H. Saxer and Mr. Morris. The visitors, upon departure, expressed themselves as very much impressed with the camp and indicated that they would like to return and visit again. We fellows of the camp desire to express our appreciation of the splendid talent that was portrayed and cordially Invite them to return and perform for us again, c Q c We Wonder How we look when were asleep . , why Hefty kept wanting to . stand up during the Vernal Program while the girl in black did her step dance . . . why Ralph Schoenhals wouldnt play the piano when asked . . . why Evan Work-maa- n was all smiles and blushes after the program . . . who that certain person was asleep and snoring . . . why Mr. Morris asked Lt.

No. 19G8 iiiii iiiiiihiii Bridgeland, Utah In the BR the project is large and concentrated to one area, while the DG is concerned with 193 projects. These projects include the building of many small dams for collecting and storing of flood waters. These waters will be held for stock watering purposes and they are located out In the hills in most any and every direction. Added to this work is the construction of many miles of road. These roads lead out Into tho Bad Lands grazing areas. Many small springs and water holes will be developed. These being fenced, piped and properly troughed for stock watering purposes. The enrollees of the Vernal camp are boys from Ohio and Kentucky. Mr. Morris further reports that the boys seem anxious for an educational program and especially do they want a camp paper. It is his intentions to have a paper every other week. He says he is happy in the fact that he found fino foremen and technical staff officers who are full of the cooperation spirit that is so much in evidence in the Bridgeland camp. He spent his nights in organization wo;k and his days visiting with boys out on the various projects. c C c Senior Foreman Leaves Tailing is such sweet sorrow." It is with much regret that we say goodbye to our Senior Foreman, J. Evan Osborne, who left last Thursday. "Ossy hay served as Senior Foreman of this camp s.nce Nov. 16, 1935, and very capably performed his duties. Before coming to this camp he was with the Woody Crass camp. From there he was transferred about and was for a time a clerk Ln the transportation department On August 3, he was attached to this company as clerk at the Spike camp SCS-- 3 at Price, under Capt. Winters and Capt. Miller. On Oct. 30 he came to this camp and served as assistant clerk until the time he took over the duties of Senior Foreman. Ossy was highly esteemed by the boys of this camp and we regret to see him leave. As perhaps you all know he was married a short time ago to a very charming young lady of Salt Lake City. We wish him much success and happiness.

It is hoped that the game will be played on the Roosevelt floor and that the date will be on a Friday night when a dance is being given. game is played thusly: The officer in uniform must be at a table and with a blond opposite him. The blond is supposed to lose a bunch of keys and the Lt is then supposed to go on all fours under the table in an attempt to recover said keys. To make the game a success he Is supposed to keep both eyes shut while taking in the scenery under the table. Another game is called, Ticking Kenny, which was introduced Into camp by a brunette during the dance Saturday evening. No one knows just how It goes but tha Lt. is well aware of what goes. He has (sent to Fort Douglas for a complete set of new Insig-na- s. We suggest if the Lt contemplates playing this game very often that he stock up on inslgnas.

Congress, as this is written, is beginning to remember that profound truth and to realize that the public remembers It, too. Therein lies a headache not only for Congress but for all other officers of government, whether national, state or local, who have spent the people's money at such amazing speed during recent years. The trouble Is that ln proportion to public expenditures, there are fewer earnings for the to levy on than there were, lets say, a decade ago. Recently - published figures have brought this fact dramatically to the taxpayers attention. They show, for example, that whereas ln 1929, taxes took of the national Income (which means the earnings of all the people), by 1932, they took and by 1935 more than one-eigh- th one-sixt- h, one-fift- h. Or put lt another wayl In 1928, the average American labored one day out of every eight to pay the costs of national, state and local government; ln 1932 he labored one day out of every six for the same purpose, and ln 1935, one day (and a few hours oven out of every five. Yet even that didn't meet the whole cost. If government last year had paid all Its bills in cash, nearly of all the money earned by the American people would have been required to balance the account. Instead, government bor- one-thi- rd rowed, which means that tlie bill must be paid out of future earnings of the workers or their ohlldren still in the sweat of the man who labors. Today the politicians are searching feverishly for a method of producing taxes without the Inevitable sweat. They find it a difficult job. Perhaps they are approaching it at the WTong end. If they want to make things easier for the people, who ultimately pay the bills, why not turn their thoughts to the problem of spending fewer billions, rather than to the question of how to collect more? |
