Show Seen and Heard 'Round the Town By EDGAR A Boost For D. C. It would seem to me that all Republicans in Washington county would have at least one candidate in the Primary election on which they can unite namely, Mayor D. C. Watson, who is seeking the nomination for U. S. Congressman on the Republican ticket for the First District. . . D. C. has made a fine record as Mayor of this city. He has been active in Civic affairs and has shown ability abili-ty as an organizer and leader. He is President of the Municipal League of Utah, which includes all city officials of the entire state and is President of the Rotary club of St. George, President Presi-dent of the Library Board, County Chairman of the Infantile Paralysis Para-lysis Board and Chairman of the National Defense council. . .D. C. would make a fine Congressman Congress-man and his election would give Washington County an opportunity to have a man in Congress who knows the problems of Southern Utah. . . Present indications point to a small Primary vote so that a good vote for him in this county could easily be the deciding decid-ing factor in bis election. People Will Remember There is a candy store chain that is only able to be open a few hours a day. And yet, they are still maintaining their high standard of quality and service. They have a sign on the wall which reads: "Believe it or not . . . we still appreciate your business!". busi-ness!". . . And they have the same cordial reminder printed on a slip which they insert in their boxes of candy. . . That kind of publicity is good business. They are looking forward to the day when they will again be on a competitive basis and know that a majority of their customers are going to remember their quality product and friendly service. . . How different from the coal merchant who barked over the phone to a shivering customer, "Don't you know there is a war on?". . . They say the public's memory is short, but I can't help but believe that many of our people will remember the treatment treat-ment that they have received during the war and hold it against the business or individual who took advantage of them under war time conditions. Life of Leisure Some people never do get to "live a life of leisure" others retire when they get their wad made or reach 60 years of age but I got to that point by simply paying a "specialist" a nice sum of money. . . When the old boy told me to only work a six-hour six-hour day and quit lifting, pushing and shoving various and sundry items such as lawn mowers, garden gar-den cultivators, etc. I thought I couldn't stand it, but after putting in most of the last two weeks on my back, I am beginning to think that the six-hour day wouldn't be such a bad chore after all. . . The above is Mated so that any of you who see me sitting down directing Hazel how to push the lawn mower or garden cultivator will understand that it is all done in the interest of longer life at least for one side of the Simpson family.

Mrs. John Riding has completed 92 quilts. Of this number she has sold only four, the rest have been given to her children, grandchildren, friends, etc. She has also made 101 silk shirts. At the present time she is making a log cabin star silk quilt. This makes six of this type that she has completed. Mrs. Riding will be 72 this month. . . . With approximately 500 of the service boys from this county getting get-ting the News, (which most of them tell us they read from 'cover to cover' including the ads) the Washington county Republican Re-publican group is telling their story to a lot of future voters. ...

It has turned warm the last few days, but it has been a grand, cool spring, and the heat so far is nothing to that which we often have at this time of the year. The cool weather, however, isn't so good for the people, in the higher altitudes where the cold spring has delayed their plantings and frosted many of the crops after they were out of the ground. Fortunate is the boy who has been early trained in the fundamentals funda-mentals of order, neatness and harmony. He will not have to hunt jobs.
