No serious injury, couple of cracked ribs and couple of cuts, but next time we want to see our Nevada friends we'll put the paper to bed first, so we won't have to rush back. Dunno what happed to Uncle Sam's mail last week, but all the local pictures in this issue should have been in last week's . . . only had to go to Richfield and back, and should have been here early last Thursday a. m., but we finally received them Wednesday of this week. The sum total of what Uncle Sam extracts from the taxpayers is SOME total! Well, SWELL!!! After our note last week, saying there's a few elder citizens citi-zens at the Beaver County Hospital who'd enjoy their reclining re-clining years a little more if they had small radios, 2 were donated to the hospital, one by Bill Wunderlich and another by Al Lorentz. Jackie says she's tickled pink with the response . . . they'd really appreciate one or two more. Several months ago Jerry Memmott made the hospital a present of a console radio with record changer, which is greatly great-ly appreciated and receiving much use. After studying thousands of road accidents, Scotland Yard says they've spotted the reason for most of 'em . . . Stupidity! Horton wants a windshield scraper. Not just any windshield scraper ... he wants a GOOD one, like the ones he handed out three years ago; He wants to reorder the same style, but can't find the r listing in any of the Beaver County News samples, so if anyone still has one of the windshield scrapers he gave away about three years ago, he'd appreciate borrowing it back long enough to use for a sample for reordering. One of the biggest causes of world trouble today is that stupid people are sure about things, and intelligent people are full of doubts. A stop light on a potato truck, bright sheet metal on a potato shed, and vapor from warm air all combined to send the Milford Volunteer Fire Department De-partment on a false-alarm trip last Saturday night.

And the fire laddies say they'd rather be called and make a false run, if it seems they're needed, than have any unnecessary fire loss in the Milford area. Dear Steve: We are taking this opportunity opportun-ity of calling to your attention several significant dates of 1962. First of all, April 25, 1962, will be . the Sesquicentennial of Public Land Management in the United States.
