A. countywide road project in Duchesne county this week, making a total of 120 employed. The men are working on three different sections of road at present: graveling on the Hancock Cove and Arcadia roads and constructing a new grade and new alignment on the Lake Fork river road from Altamont to Boneta. The latter work is progressing slowly because of frost in the ground. Much unrest and discontent has been evidenced during the past few weeks because many of the men, duly registered on W. P. A., who have been employed during the past summer, are now out of work. This is due, it was explained to the lack of projects in the county. The weed control project was completed last November and with the exception of the county road project, the school lunch project, which employs only a few men, and the Roosevelt city streets and sidewalk projects, there is now no other work to take care of the unemployed. It is difficult, it was stated, because of the financial condition of the towns and county, to raise the sponsors share on any new projects, although several are being contemplated. nnounced that he had learned that hocolate contained as much stim-ilaas coffee, the drinking of vhich is generally considered as ontrary to the Word of Wisdom.

DUCHESNE QUINT LOSES TO ALTAMONT HIGH What looked like a sure victory for Duchesne hoopsters turned into defeat in the second half of the game when Altamont walked off with a score of 27 against the local boys 20 here last Friday. Duchesne definitely outplayed the visitors in the first half with five-man a strong defense strategy. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 9 in favor of Duchesne. In the second quarter the visitors gained four points, but could not stand up to the local boys, who with a. succession of beautiful shots brought their score to 17, However, the tide turned at the half, when the Altamont boys were able to work around the defense partly with the aid of their tall center. The third quarter stood at in favor of Altamont and the 8 Duchesne boys were unable to rally sufficiently to regain the lead. The Pep clubs of both schools kept the spirit of the teams and spectators alike at top pitch with their cheering and maneuvering. The Altamont girls were uniformed in red and white and the Duchesne girls in blue and white. Between halves the local girls thrilled the crowd with a floor demonstration, D with forming an A and three-yea- r old "Chubby" Meyrick and Principal Bartons little son acting as mascots.

The agreement, first offered to the commissioners as a means of clearing title to the Knight properties following a meeting of the Knight interest and the then county attorney L. A. Hollenbeck has been under consideration successively by the 1938 and 1939 county commissions since that time, and has been widely discussed by the commissioners and other interested parties in the county since that time. Opposition Shown Opposition developed against giving the Knight people the 160 acres of land when the county alt ready had title to the entire holdings, some 7000 acres on an auditors tax deed. Mr. Hollenbeck, however, contended that the quit claim deed from Knights, obviating the necessity of court action to clear the title to the ground, was well worth the value of the 160 acres to the county, and after several hearings on the matter, succeeded in obtaining the approval by the newly installed county commissioners of the agreement. The agreement as signed was rewritten to comply with some suggestions made by county attorney, George Stewart, which did not materially affect its contents. Principal stipulations are that (Continued On Page 8) DUCHESNE COUNTY REPORTS NO DISEASES Duchesne was one of ten counties out of twrenty-nin- e in the state reporting "no disease" for the week ending January 27, according to the weekly communicable disease report released today by the Utah State Board of Health. In other counties, increases were reported in the number of new cases of mumps, whooping cough, measles, chickenpox and influenza. During the corresponding week last year, whooping cough, scarlet fever, mumps, measles and chickenpox were the most important diseases, according to number. Decreases wrere noted this week in the number of new cases of pneumonia and scarlet fever, and there was reported only one new case of tuberculosis, compared with two cases in the preceding week. This is the time of year, accordState ing to Dr, J. L. Jones, Health Commissioner, when communicable diseases are most likely to spread, and since their early symptoms are usually so similar to the common cold, often they are not treated with the degree of concern they reserve. Dr. Jones suggests, therefore, that, especially during this season, all common colds be treated with extreme care, and that the family physician be called early in cases which do not respond readily to home care. ITS IN THE AIR YES SUII i Many of Duchesnes are developing a "Southern" accent. This is not due to our Alabama climate. but rather because they are rehearsing for the Junior Chamber of Commerce minstrel show which will be presented to celebrate Washington's birthday, February 22. Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Goodrich are directing the show assisted by a committee which includes Reed Cowan, Hermit Poulson and Daryl Smith to do the dirty worlc which we suppose will inclu it burnt cork, etc. |
