Both these projects have been on the county agenda ever since we have been in Milford, and no progress, so far as we have been able lo see, has been made. We'd like to see the road committees com-mittees of the civic organizations of the county get together, with the county commissioners, and lay out a program that everyone will fight for. We understood the agreed-upon agenda was 21 ahead of everything, then the Cates road and Greenville approaches. ap-proaches. That program should be adhered to. Let's finish .the projects we've started before beginning be-ginning any new ones. Has anyone noticed the slight (? ?) increase in the price of meat lately ? Well, relief is on the way. According to a local business busi-ness man, who has watched the trend for many years, June is always the roughest and toughest tough-est month on meat-eaters. It's the "in-between" period, when all the feed yards are cleaned, out of feeder stock, and just before be-fore the grass-fed stock from Texas and New Mexico hits the Los Angeles market; ". . .. , -. ( And, according to our friend, the Los Angeles market is always al-ways the first to "break" and start the ball rolling toward lower meat prices. On Tuesday of this week, the Salt Lake market hit the highest point in its history, when choice steers sold at 31Vzc a pound on hoof. Last week's Los Angeles livestock market showed the advancing ad-vancing trend that has been in evidence for several weeks. Upturns Up-turns of 50c to $1 were the rule, with feeder steers changed but little. However, thin light stackers stack-ers were 25c to 50c lower. Choice steers brought $30 to $33.75. s The News will report the Los Angeles prices each week, until "the break" arrives. Last Monday evening Milford entertainment seekers watched a "donkey ball" game at Fairgrounds Fair-grounds Park. Members of the Chamber of Commerce competed against members of the American Amer-ican Legion and both sides competed com-peted against the donkeys. There was some dissatisfaction dissatisfac-tion with the amount of entertainment enter-tainment offered when compared to the prices charged. The "deal" was made a couple of months ago by Gordon Murdock of the Chamber of Commerce and Clarence Clar-ence McWhorter of the American Legion, Neither organization had any say about the prices to be charged. All they did was furnish teams to. ride the Rocky Mountain Canaries. Probably a better show would have been put on if the donkeys had been fresh, but due to a postponed game at Beaver, the little buckers were sort of tired when they hit Milford. Mil-ford. The Beaver game was scheduled for Saturday, but due to absence of mpst of the prospective pros-pective customers who were up the creek looking for trout the lady who owned the donkeys agreed to postpone the game until Monday, playing a twilight affair over there and then rushing rush-ing the donkeys to Milford, to play here. They arrived more than 30 minutes late, pretty well worn out. The donkey owners set' the prices, and took about $85 as their end of the gate. The Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce received $26 and the Legion $26. Many outstanding attractions have been brought to Milford. and furnished excellent entertainment. enter-tainment.

The News will be published on Wednesday, so the office will be "cleared" for the printing of the daily programs. So all our contributors con-tributors are asked to please get their "copy" in early. Most of Milford's merchants will close their places of business busi-ness during the afternoons on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with some establishments opening open-ing an hour early to accommodate accommo-date early shoppers. Also, most of the merchants have arranged for large stocks of merchandise, and are offering special prices to race meet visitors. Don't fail to read the ads in the next issue of The News, then get to town early and take advantage of the bargains offered. BROOMS BROOMS. Several weeks ago the Fire Department sent out a call for old brooms, to use fighting brush fires. Only a couple showed up. If you have an old broom, no matter how "beat up" it is, liave , it at The News office or at the fire hall. The firemen need them to fight brush and grass fires. Last year, we were told of irresponsible persons stealing flowers from the graves in the cemetery. This year it gets worse. Here in civilized Milford, someone took a, stroll thru the cemetery, and stole vases and bowls holding flowers, from a grave. One of the vases was a keepsake, a valued gift, belonging belong-ing to Mrs. Freda Outzen. When we hear of such despicable despic-able vandalism, it makes us wonder won-der what kind of minds some people possess. The News, and the Milford Lions, have come in for considerable consid-erable criticism the past week, after an article published in the last issue stated that the Lions .charged Beaver interests with diverting di-verting road funds from High-1 High-1 way 21 to reroute the Puffer Lake road so a reservoir could be built. Emissaries from Beaver stoutly deny any diversion of funds, and state that the road is being and is to be rebuilt en-i tirely with private funds. It is true there was no official Lions Club charge of diversion, but individuals attending the; meeting made the statement that Hiway 21 money was being diverted, di-verted, no Lion challenged the 1 statements, and the Lions offi cially went on record as demanding de-manding a meeting with the State Highway Commission. The News has been told that a meeting of road committees of the two communities will be held in the immediate future, to "get to the bottom of the differences and iron things out." We sincerely hope all differences differ-ences will be ironed out to the satisfaction of all concerned. If it is necessary to rebuild a por-' por-' tion of the road to build the new reservoir, it is our opinion that it SHOULD be built with private capital, because only private in-v in-v , dividuals are to benefit from the construction of the dam. We also feel that it's okeh to use county equipment in the construction con-struction project, but not a dime of county money should be spent on a road for the benefit of private pri-vate persons until the Cates Road has been oiled, and the Green- HERE'S MORE ABOUT ! 1 DUNNO 1 Continued from Page One. 1 organizations had no control, resulted re-sulted in the mediocre showing Monday night.
