By SECOND-GUESSER I)IIIIIIIIIIIII1!1I!II!!II!!I!II!!I!!!!!H!!I1I Last Saturday and Sunday one of the biggest, and we believe be-lieve one of the most far-reaching, celebrations Beaver County has ever participated in, was successfully carried out, and we expect soon to announce gratifying grati-fying results of the time, efforts and money the citizens of the county put forth. The Governor of Utah and the state's first lady were very favorably impressed with the hospitality of the people of this county. And in turn, the residents resi-dents of Milford, Minersville and Beaver had an opportunity to rub elbows with Governor and Mrs. Lee, and found the experience ex-perience very pleasant. At the dinner served for Mrs. Lee in the L D S Relief Society room, Mrs. Lee made a wonderful wonder-ful impression on the ladies, and gained for herself and her hard working husband a host of Mil-ford Mil-ford friends. The Lady Lions agree that she is one of the most gracious and most charming ladies they have ever been privileged privi-leged to entertain. When Governor Lee spoke at the Lions Club banquet in the Catholic church, citizens who didn't really "know" His Excellency, sort of understood why his followers have always been true, staunch supporters. Some were a little apprehensive when Vance Fisher and Dick Foerster ganged up to unceremoniously uncere-moniously whack off his necktie for not wearing a Lions Club pin, but they relaxed when the governor remarked that he could wear a bob-tailed necktie as well as other unfortunates who ran afoul of the tailtwister and Lion tamer. Governor Lee's addresses, at the banquet and the cave, were direct and sincere. He didn't dodge any issues and he gave reasonable, logical answers to questions asked. We believe he is a sincere chief executive who is doing his honest best to give the people of the state an economical, eco-nomical, businesslike administration. adminis-tration. Eddie Anderson, councilman in charge of our water system, asks us to again remind the water users that 8 p. m. is the deadline from sprinkling lawns. There's plenty of water available avail-able for normal use, Eddie said, but this business of allowing Continued on Page Five HERE'S MORE ABOUT I DUNNO Continued from Page One . lawn sprinklers to run 24 hours a day is a little too good a thing. After an hour or two. the water just runs down the gutter, costing taxpayers' money to pump it, keeping the city from completely filling the storage tanks during the normally nor-mally light night hours, and creates a hazard should we have a serious fire at night. The watering hours have not been invoked this year, but they will be if thoughtless citizens continue to run lawn sprinklers all night. Senator Arthur V. Watkins, we learn, will soon have four vacancies to fill at the U S Naval Academy at Annapolis, for the 1950 school year, and applicants will be designated on the basis of Civil Service exams to be conducted Nov. 15th. : Persons desiring an appoint- ! ment should make application i .to Senator Watkins at 348 Sen-j 'ate Office Bldg., Washington, D. C. No applications will be received after October 26th. Applicants should state their name in full, names of parents, age of applicant, schooling and i city, county and state of residence. resi-dence. The civil service examination, exam-ination, Senator Watkins pointed point-ed out, will not qualify the candidates for Annapolis those appointed by the Senator still must pass the regular academy testa. "This method of designating candidates," Senator Watkins said, "was undertaken by me to insure the selection of the best qualified candidates and to eliminate political appointments which in many instances are not in the best interest of our military mili-tary establishment." |
