Show 9 2 But 9 Jieaia By STEVE WILLIAMS Dan Valentine had a medical checkup the other day, and when the doc was wondering how Dan slept, the overweight columnist admitted he did all right nights, but between 2 and 5 in the afternoons all he did was twist and turn in those uncomfortable un-comfortable chairs the Trib furnishes. Some folks wonder why Dan left Detroit to work in Salt Lake. When he left the Motor Capital a cub reported applied for the vacancy, but the City Ed told him "Valentine didn't leave no vacancy." . ' Page Jimmy Durante! Everyone wants to "get in the act" fighting boosters for TV. The new Cedar City group says they'll "fight boosters" if Beaver Ccunty doesn't support! their one-channel telecasting. ' Always before, the "private enterprise" TV boys have, hollered hol-lered that they were here first and boosters were wrecking their business, and now we have a new slant. The boosters are here and "private enterprise" says we have to get out of the way so they can operate for profit. Use of boosters is the only way communities not fortunate enough to be located in range of the big city stations can enjoy en-joy TV, and we think everyone who can should have that privilege privi-lege and on ALL channels, not just the channels that pri-vate-enterprise-for-profit finds it profitable to offer. We believe that any "private enterprise" should be privileged to operate their business, but we don't believe that the wares they offer should be crammed down our throats on a take-it-or-have-nothing basis. If they can make their offer attractive, okeh; but if we don't want to buy it, leave us alone. Besides,, what are we supposed sup-posed to do for thei next year, while we are waiting for pri-vate-enterprise-for-profit to get around to serving us? Linotypes in country shops make a guy remember the Model T days the durned outfits out-fits wouldn't run right unless they had a few pounds of baling wire holding 'em together. And Linotypes in country shops are usually pretty old, and when some part breaks it's always one that isn't to be found anywhere in the shop. , And it's a long ways from the' supply house. A part broke on our old Model 19 this week, and after a midnight trip to Beaver to get a part from our Linotype over there, and finding it wasn't the same on a Model 5 as on a Model 19, we finally improvised a temporary patch-up job with two rubber bands! , It's still holding, and we expect ex-pect to be only 12 or 14 hours late getting The News in the mail. And maybe next week we can catch up on the news we're forced to leave out this week. Roland Fowles owes Clyde Turner and Herb Coon a pair lof mallards. The men were up early Thursday morning to . enjoy a duck hunt, when they saw flames shooting up from the back of the Fowles home, turned in the alarm and stayed to help extinguish the fire. Howard Lund, sighting the blaze as he was leaving for work about 5:15 a. m., and also turned in an alarm and roused the family. Cause of the fire was not determined. de-termined. Mr. Fowles estimated estimat-ed the damage at "less than $100." Milford Councilman Wes Bolton Bol-ton advises that he has obtained from the fire warden. Sheriff Lee R- Fillmore, a "blanket" burning permit for the City of Milford, and persons wisning to burn trash or leaves may do so if they first obtain a permit from the city marshal.
