Show 'il!lll!!i:il!!illlii!lllin!ll!lllll!linillllii' Hid 9 JtecM. s By SECOND-GUESSER Thursday two gentlemen v from Cedar City, accompanied j by the County Agent and Mr. i ' Wood of Minersville, were in Milford soliciting "advertising" in a stock show program. We ' understand they suckered a few j Milford merchants into sub-A sub-A scribing for 'advertising' in the ,Ji booklet. 2 As one business man re-1 Ji marked, there is absolutely no j U benefit from an advertising Jj standpoint for the merchants j ' of Milford who subscribe to i 1 advertising in such a promotion !' the money spent is strictly a ( donation and should be so considered con-sidered by the merchant. What the merchants usually fail to look into is whether a donation to another town is ; . worthwhile legitimate or j n just money tossed down the j drain. Can anyone in Milford ; recall obtaining a contribution from Cedar City for a Milford J cause? It's an old, old racket, which still works surprisingly well i if you want to sell advertising I in a promotion of any kind, ' get a couple of hometowners to , go with ;f ju to visit the hard-hit - business men, and they'll say J1 yes more often than no. P There will be Minersville M stock shown at the Cedar City show, but so far as we can learn j there are no Milford entries. And we are also told that the annual Beaver County Stock , Show receives a $100 grant ' from the state treasury, but the Cedar City show , receives $1500. Still, Milford, Beaver, Minersville, Min-ersville, St. George and all the other Southern Utah communities communi-ties are suckered into donations under the guise of advertising advertis-ing to the Cedar City show. Elmer Davies of Garrison was " a business visitor in Milford Wednesday, and was all smiles after a nice rain in the Garrison Garri-son area. "The range is still plenty dry, tho," Elmer said, "and we're keeping our fingers crossed for a general rain over the entire range." - Mrs. George Baker didn't enjoy en-joy a trip to Beaver last Mon- day evening. Seeking a change from the usual route, she drove the "pass road" and her car became mired in mud when she ran into a rrynor flash flood. Monday evening was prob- ably the only day in the week that several cars failed to drive the pass road, and Mrs. Baker was still stranded about 2 a. m. when husband George, who had been frantically searching the shoulders of the highway to Beaver, finally drove the pass road and "rescued" his wife and 9-month-old baby. Salt Lake police, informed of the missing housewife thru .... routine channels, believed for a while Mrs. Baker might have been kidnaped by the California kidnap-killer who had been re-ilported re-ilported in every section of Utah ) except Beaver County. Mr. and Mrs. Joe K. Jillson i, 'Of Burbank, Calif., and two A children, Jo Ann and Billy, 5 spent the week-end with the J. n D. Johnstons. Mrs. Jillson, a 111 former Milford resident, is a niece o the Johnston. |
