Show Got a card from Fr. Valine while he was in Spain. He's due home almost any time. Local folks have petitioned petition-ed the Mayor to set a day aside as "Father Valine Day" in his honor. Mayor Young will issue a proclamation procla-mation making June 10th "Father Valine Day." He is expected to be back in Milford by that time. -0- The unique thing about the petition is that it carries signatures from a cross section sec-tion of the Milford community, commun-ity, but not one Catholic. Passers of the petition planned it this way to show the good father that in a town, predominate LDS, with congregations con-gregations from Seventh -day Advents, Methodists, Baptists, Bap-tists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Church of God, and others, they all appreciate the contribution con-tribution made to the community com-munity and Southern Utah. We're sure the parishioners of St. Bridget's in Milford, as well as the other parishes Fr. Valine serves at Bryce Canyon, Kanab, Panguitch, etc., join us in welcoming him home. -0- The CCC played an important im-portant roll in the early years of Milford, and many an old -timer looks back fondly to his years with the Corps. They'll undoubtedly look with favor on the announcement announce-ment by Rep. Howe that the YACC has been approved by the House and if signed by the President, will begin June 1, 1977. It's for Young Adults. -0- A press release from BLM offers adoption of Wild Horses. Hors-es. The environmentalists, led by Wild Horse Annie, back in 1971, pressuredCon-gress pressuredCon-gress into passing the "Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act." The Act provides as the main method of control, adoption. Only about 700 wild horses have been placed for adoption since the Act was passed and several western states, specifically Utah and Nevada, are being overrun with the generally scroungy nags. -0- One fellow who went through the procedure of adoption told us he had nearly near-ly $2000 in the nag by the time he got him corralled at home. He still didn't own the nag, couldn't sell, eat or give it away. You can't even work the nag for a profit. pro-fit. Not only that, every so often, someone comes around to make sure you're feeding and caring for it satisfactorily. sat-isfactorily. -0- What do you think was the greatest invention of all time? Old timers will probably say the wheel. Many Milford -ites will vouch for the railroad. rail-road. Youth might say nuclear nu-clear fission or the A bomb. -0- Phooey! This writer votes for the automatic ice maker. Remember when you had to run to the ice house for a block of ice, pack it home and chip off a small chunk to cool a summer drink? Or, how about fighting to remove the ice cubes from a tray if you remembered to fill it up last time? Can you remember trying to get the trays from sink to refrigerator without spilling? spill-ing? And even if you filled them before leaving for work, the kids generally forgot to do'the same, after they used them up just before you got home. And if friends stopped in for a drink during the evening, eve-ning, you could count on the trays, refilled after supper, just beginning to show a sliver sliv-er of ice around the edge. -0- Youngsters today do not appreciate their good fortune. for-tune. Their fathers and mothers moth-ers can remember the hottest hot-test days of summer, when about to be saved from sunstroke sun-stroke with a cooling ice cube to rub on their forehead, fore-head, Mom said, 'Don't use all the ice before your dad gets home." How many remember, "Stay out of the ice today, I need it all for the ladies aid society," or, "Your fa-(Continued fa-(Continued on Page 2) t HERE'S MORE ABOIIT JUST BETWEEN ther's friends are coming over tonight and he wants all the ice trays full.", -0- Yep, there's no doubt about the world's greatest invention. inven-tion. Today's automatic ice machines take the prize. They keep the ice bucket full. Few families can put a strain on it. With just the tiniest bit of planning, you can put a few bags in the freezer for big parties. Some of the fancier refrigerators re-frigerators have a place where you put your glass and it adds ice and fills with water. The wonders of modern mod-ern man! -0- But, will this generation of youngsters ever know that moment, while the ice man cut a chunk from the big 60 pound block, that we slipped in and cooled off on the sawdust saw-dust covered blocks. And do you remember how old Bill used to keep a couple of watermelon cooling? If you had a nickel he'd cut you a slice and sometimes when it was real hot, he'd just give you one, or a chunk of ice to suck on. |
