Show Had a run-in with Supt. Bliss last Thursday, said he couldn't remember telling me that there was no chance for either Beaver Beav-er or Milford to get a Round Robin Tournament. That was .no less than we expected ex-pected since he has a tendency ten-dency to forget some of the statements he makes. Here is another we expect he will forget, for-get, though he made this statement state-ment last Thursday in front of five other witnesses at the Milford Mil-ford elementary school. He said, "We already have a tournament scheduled for Beaver three years from today." That would make It February 22, 1976. Do you want to bet he forgets about that statement also? He of course provided no evidence of this and no one else we have contacted has ever heard of it. o The fact is of course that this is little excuse for the school district building a gym with more seats than there are people in the town. If Beaver City wants a 2200 seat gym, to support their motel and gas station business during the slack season, then let those who will benefit from this the most, foot the bill. We still maintain that the district should scale both gyms down to 1200 seating capacity and if the individual communities communi-ties want more, let them pick up the tab for the difference. And until they blow the whistle whis-tle on the first tournament game, we will continue to maintain main-tain that Beaver County has no chance at hosting a Regional tournament such as that being conducted in Cedar City this week. o Speaking of the Region 8 Round Robin, Tiger fans will be out in force Thursday, Friday Fri-day and Saturday to support their Tigers. Give them the boost that will take them all the way. o Boy, what a week for pictures. pic-tures. Started Thursday with the boxing at the elementary school, "Charlie Brown" that night, all of which were destroyed de-stroyed when the film got put in the hypo before the developer. develop-er. Those things do happen. We were able to return for the boxing pictures, but Charlie Brown was lost forever. Friday was little league basketball, bas-ketball, and Milford at Enterprise. Enter-prise. Saturday the North Las Vegas Bucks invaded Milford and the Little Tigers finished them off. Sunday we got a picture of a rare sight, Milford's Main Street being washed. Then Monday, Mon-day, we got a shot or two of the Oldtimer wheels looking over Bob Price's museum and rock shop. That's when we went back for the boxing again, thanks to Profs Albrecht and Limb.) Then Monday night the big Retirement and Visitation party, banquet and dance at the elementary school again. It's been a full weekf but we finally had to take a couple of days (and nights) off to get the News out and use all of those pictures. o But its not all over yet. The Round Robin will keep us hopping hop-ping the rest of the week, along with Centennial meetings, Golf Assn. Meetings and many others. oth-ers. It may not look it at times, but Milford is moving, and trying try-ing to cover the events when they happen keeps the old editor ed-itor hoppin'. o But the worse part is knowing know-ing that there just isn't enough time or money to do the job like it ought to be done. All those pictures called for extra pages, and there is just not enough advertising to warrant them. But how do you decide just which of those young boxers box-ers should get his mug in the paper we couldn't, so we printed them all. And how do you determine which story to cut, which story you don't write, hew to omit the editorial that needs to be written today. We couldn't, so we printed it all. |
