Show The burglary last Saturday of the Hiatt Drug Store brought to mind did you ever hear of anybody burglarizing burglar-izing a newspaper? I've been closely associated with newspapers news-papers for over 30 years and have never heard or known of one to be robbed, or burglarized. burglar-ized. o- There are probably several reasons for this first, any self respecting burglar could tell by the shine on the editor's pants that there won't be any money around. Second, is the fact that burglars generally want either money or something some-thing easily turned into money. In today's society, drugs are an often burgled item, making drug stores and doctor's probably prob-ably the highest burgled businesses busi-nesses of all, gas stations get robbed more than any other. But about the only drugs to be found around a newspaper, would be the last inch the pressman or editor, threw in the corner or tucked away just before he passed out. And odds are great that the burglar will not be able to find it, because if it was easily found, the rest of the crew would have finished it off the next morn-, ing. o Now, another thing that burglars want is something that is light, watches, jewelry, money, etc. Something easily carried off, without being suspicious. sus-picious. All the newsprint a man could carry in one trip wouldn't buy his lunch, and as for printing equipment, it's not only very heavy and cumbersome, cum-bersome, but so antiquated and obsolete, you couldn't even give it to another printer. o ' So the profession does have some compensations, you don't get an ulser, worrying about being held up or burgled of course it is kind of disheartening dis-heartening to know you don't ow.n anything, anybody else would want. Reports have reached us that the Commissioners have consented to give the zoning of the Pine Creek interchange a public hearing no date has been set as yet. In July the planning commission com-mission recommended that the zoning change be granted, but in August the Commissioners shot a hole in it by voting to leave it closed to development and progress. We are happy to see them have a change of heart, and consider this proposal on a sound economic basis, and its effect on the whole county. First, it is our understanding that some eight or nine firms have bought or leased on the two interchanges at Beaver, They have, or will have have by the time any action is completed com-pleted on the rezoning, a year head start on the Pine Creek enterprise. This is enough to insure development nothing can or will change that opening of Pine Creek can only serve as a stimulus to go ahead and get their building build-ing finished in order to be the firstus with the mostus. This, we favored, to give the Beaver City main drag a better bet-ter shot at the overflow, which would not even exist without these big complexes on either end of town. o-- However, the big oil companies com-panies will not wait for ever for Pine Creek, good sites are available, across the line in Millard County, and they will be snapped up in the near future, fu-ture, and will not deprive us in Beaver County of the tax base of these developments, but take just as much tousiness from Beaver City as would the Pine Creek Development. o We favor the rezoning at . Pine Creek. If you do, watch for the dates of the public hearing and give it your support. sup-port. Consider the advantages and disadvantages, as they con-cer. con-cer. Beaver County, then give the Commissioners the bene-! fit of your dissertation. They will appreciate knowing how you feel. ( Continued on Back Page HERE'S MORE ABOUT JUST BETWEEN Seen any bugs lately We have met up with some unusual unus-ual and interesting specimens lately, that we would like to have identified. The wife found a scorpion recently while we1 were checking the damage to the Lund road, after the flash flood. Pictures in our book are not adequate to discern the particular species. Bob Price brought in a bug, he said was found in a dessert water hole shortly after the flash flood. White with pink outline, it looked from underneath, much like the Trolibites, found near Delta. Could this actually be the same bug or animal. Next, last Sunday,, an unusual fly nearly two inches long, flew into the car window. If there is a good entomologist or anyone any-one with a good book, able to identify these creatures, we would be pleased to hear from them. |
