Show 9 bunno-, But 9 Jtzata by STEV WILLIAMS It's nice to be able to make v both cuds meet, but it's nicer if they lap over a little. Soon as we got last week's papei' in the mails and headed for Claude's for our after-edition cup of java, George Campeau (a real quick reader) bounced us about two front-page "bulls." Seems in tiie headline setting we plugged the Legion 49ers for April 12-13, but thank goodness we had it right June 12 and 13 in the story text. And the Bozarth boys appeared in Judge Koch's court, not before Judge Morris a't Beaver. What makes men and rivers crooked is following the line of least resistance. Two requests this week from our local cops and one (yep, only one) from Hizzoncr the Mayor. Mayor Ray wants us to announce that there's only one licensed female fe-male clog in Milford, and that belongs be-longs to J. E. Moore, and any other female doggies running around are illegal and he wants anyone seeing an illegal female doggie to phone him or the city recorder or one of the city cops. Marshal Wally suggests we suggest sug-gest that motorists be especially careful about children, since it's springtime and they're bike riding and kite flying and just plain running run-ning around filled with exuberance. exuber-ance. And to take some of the exuberance exuber-ance out of some of 'em, Marshal Floyd Winn has a boxing class going go-ing in his back yard, with Principal Gordon Bradshaw helping with the instruction. Floyd says some of the youngsters arc turning into pretty good boxers, and he has the lumps to prove it. Now if some organization like the Legion or Lions or Jaycees will take over sponsorship of these v young exponents of the manly art of self defense, and we can dig up a ring, etc., inter-city matches can be arranged with Minersville and Beaver and Cedar City, and maybe there'll be less letting off steam on the part of some of Milford's younger generation. We'd have a stronger name than letting off steam for the recent depredations at the Library Building, Build-ing, and we think Librarian Rae Anderson would agree. When she opened the library , Monday after the week end holiday she found the floor, her desk and many of the book shelves covered with broken glass, dirt, and rocks. And counting up, there were more than two dozen broken windows, in addition to the dozen or so that werebroken or chipped previously by BB shot. Some of the rocks were so large that it would indicate "big boys" as well as younger ones were involved. in-volved. We're sure the kids didn't stop to think that their daddy's, as well as their friends' daddys' tax money has to be used to replace the damaged dam-aged windows. And tax money spent to repair such vandal-broken windows leaves less money in the city treasury for parks and playgrounds play-grounds and other improvements. Most farmers want government at their side, not at their backs. Ezra Taft Benson. |
