Show Bid 9 Jfeaid Last week we published an "edict" from the Lions Club and the City Council, stating that all horse owners must remove re-move their animals from the stables at the race track by June 1. Mayor Eugene Mayer and some city councilmen have advised ad-vised The News that the city council has taken no such action. ac-tion. "We want to get along with everyone," Mayor Mayer said, "and we want the stables at the track to have the fullest possible use. As far as the city council is concerned, the horse owners must live up to their agreement to vacate the stables at least a week before the race meet." Our sheriff, Mel Tait, learned about "welder's eye" the hard way. About the most painful thing in the world is the after-effect of getting a flash from a welder's weld-er's arc, when it hits directly into the eye. Mel was walking his horse at the track and watched a welder putting some steel together. Result: Several days with a patch over his eye, and some painful, sleepless sleep-less nights. Wonder why it hurts worse at night, than in the daytime? With all the hoopla about the yippie 'teens, it's really comforting to run into one we can admire. Young Jay Holloway, a relative rela-tive newcomer to Milford (his dad is employed by Shield Development) De-velopment) stopped in the office of-fice Monday afternoon and announced an-nounced he "wanted to put an ad in the paper." We asked what kind of an ad, and Jay said "I found a $10 bill and I want to find out who lost it." Jay was twirling the $10 bill around his finger, and probably prob-ably wondering how many malts it would buy, but he wanted to advertise that he'd found it, and return it to the nerson who lost it. Anyone who lost a $10 bill late Sunday or early Monday, stop by The News office, and if he or she was in the vicinity of where Jay found it, we'll send 'em on over to him. And congratulations, Jay . . . you're starting right. Keep on being honest. The "Sunday Closing Petitions'' Peti-tions'' have reached Beaver County. This is the petition to place the controversial (asinine) Sunday Sun-day Closing law passed by the "budget session" of the legislature, legis-lature, on the November ballot, bal-lot, and let the people of Utah, instead of a few dominated lawmakers, decide what they want for our state. In Milford, there's a petition peti-tion in the hardware department depart-ment of Jefferson Mercantile; in Minersville at the Town Clerk's office, and in Beaver at the office of the county clerk. If you are a registered voter and feel that the people as a whole instead of a few should have the say-so, sign the peti-tion peti-tion and in November you'll have the opportunity to vote Yes or No on Sunday Closing. "What does the Red Cross ever do?" The Red Cross does many things, routinely, in Milford and elsewhere in the nation and around the world. It's so routine we don't notice no-tice it, unless it's something the Red Cross routinely does for us or someone close to us. And their reaction at Lubbock, Lub-bock, Texas, after the recent tornado, was routine to them but one of those routine activities activ-ities that was appreciated by the victims of the disaster. Within hours the Red Cross had on the spot and operating, 11 specially equipped "disaster vans," and three relief shelters. What does the Red Cross ever do? We don't realize how much they do. |
