Dear Ruminator: We'd like to know what can be done about these high school pep rallys held on the high school grounds. Do we neighbors neigh-bors that live near by have to continue putting up with black smoke from old rubber tires that the students collect and burn in their bonfires? It doesn't only fill our homes with black smoke, but the odor is vile. While we're talking about t something vile, the profanity used by the students is so bad that the children have to be called in from their play, and remain in the house so that they can't hear it. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bradshaw are still wondering how they could be so cruel as to throw a pet cat, alive, into the bonfire. When the pet was found the next morning, it was so horribly burned it had to be put to death. If the students are to have pep rallys they should be supervised by the parents or- teachers. A NEIGHBOR. , The last sentence of your let ter, Neighbor, Is the solution to the problem the residents near the school have, on pre-game nights. We don't believe you'd want to deny the students the privilege of pep rallys. Those little "extra" activities are a major part of their school life. .. oirildrcc: aiii thoughtless- older children as well as younger young-er ones. Knowing Mr. Nelson, the principal, and other teachers as we do, we're sure that if the matter is called to their attention atten-tion they"ll instruct the students to hold their rallys in the vacant school ground northeast of the elementary school and also see that some member of the faculty is present to keep the children's exuberance from getting "out of bounds." We'd like to pass out a few more bouquets to the city dads for finally getting some improve- ments made in the city streets. It's been a tough job trying to get oil and gravel and equip- m ment, but they finally made it, with the assistanse of the state. Looks like we've started on the Progress Road, and let's give them all the help we can, and a V goodly share of justly-earned praise. Myron Persons tells us he can use quite a few more "spud pickers" pick-ers" on the Potato Marketing Co. fields south of town. We haven't contacted the other potato growers, grow-ers, but we heard of one 16-year-, old on the Potato Marketing Co. fields that made a handsome $1'6 in one day, picking spuds. That's better than printer's wages. And we pass on, to Postmaster Postmast-er Rue Nielsen, a "gripe" we've ' heard a good many times, be cause there's no lights in the post office at night. With these "combination" boxes, a person has to burn his fingers lighting matches while he twirls the dial, or wait till the next day to get his mail. Our good friend, Mr. Altman, tells us he's heard there may be partisan politics in the coming city election. Meaning Democratic Demo-cratic and Republican tickets. To date, Milford's elections have been strictly nonpaxtisan. And Mr. Altman would like it known that he believes any man elected to office should wrrt Jhe people who elected him, impartially im-partially and without regard to party lines or party bosses. To which we add a fervent "Amen!" We've always heard that a two-party nation, like the U. S., is a good thing. When one party is in power, the strength fr of the other party makes 'em "toe the mark." But how much better it would be if MEN were elected instead of parties. I Dear Mr. Williams: Received The News on Satur-Continued Satur-Continued on Back Page HERE'S MORE ABOUT RUINATOR Continued from Page One , bring much traffic, known in the National Park Service Ser-vice as our "travel year," as of Sept. 30. We have had 7,500 ''visitor days," with 5000 persons per-sons actually going thru the cave. We had thought that with the roads under construction, our traffic might fall off, but this is an increase of 30 per cent over last year. It might interest you to know that last Saturday we had a visit from a group of about 50 high school students from the Beaver High school. They arrived in two school buses, headed up byj t I We have finished up what is the principal, Mr. Walter Kcr-I Kcr-I sick. With organised educa-I educa-I tional groups of this kind, if ar- rangemenls are made in ad- j vance, we pass the student ! without charge. During the summer we have had visits from many Boy and Girl Scout groups, and also organized or-ganized groups from many institutions insti-tutions including the State Agricultural Agri-cultural College at Logan and the B.

It looks like about 20 miles of Number Six will also be done, approximately six miles in Nevada and 14 in Utah, from this west end. The roads in the vicinity vi-cinity of the Monument are being be-ing done now and all graveling will be complete this fall, with hopes of finishing the oiling next summer. About 10 miles of new oiled road has been opened to the public, on the road to Ely. So all in all, the roads are making mak-ing some progress, but I wouio certainly like to see the road from Milford to the Nevada line finished, as I know it would |
