We were completely out of regular size newsprint and were all set to print a smaller-size paper when Thursday morning U P Charley called and told us he had a small shipment waiting for us. So we're able to print our regular-size paper, although it is ' limited' to four pages this week. A long time ago, when we used to always have our paper in the mail Thursday noon of each week, we had "deadlines" and lived up to them, refusing to accept for publication that week any material that came in after the deadline. In a small shop with a limited crew, that's the only way a paper can be published on time. So starting next week, our deadlines will again be in effect. All church and society news must be in our office by Tuesday Tues-day evening. Ad deadline also is Tuesday at 6 p. m. Personals and correspendence from neighboring communities must be in by Wednesday noon Thursday at 9 a. m. is the final deadline for spot or live news. Any material reaching us after these deadlines will be held over and published the fol-lcwing fol-lcwing week. We want to publish pub-lish all the news that's of interest in-terest to our readers, and we also want to mail the paper on time each week. We'll appreciate appre-ciate your cooperation. Milford has a new cop on the night beat. Wallace Fothering-ham, Fothering-ham, ' born and raised" in Milford Mil-ford but" living in California for the past few years, is the new officer of the law who will keep order and offer assistance to those needing it after dark. Scotty Haycock, Occidental Life representative for this area, looked around for a crying cry-ing towel this week after he lost his visible hunting license. The genial insurance salesman had license no. B21490 and would appreciate having the finder return re-turn the license to the Milford Hotel or The News office. Incidentally, we agree with Scotty and lots of other sportsmen sports-men that the new tag is about as big a bunch of nonsense as we've ever seen. Many, many hunters removed the cloth tag from their deer and used it over again; many attached the entire tag and had to buy again a bird hunting license; many presented the license to buy pheasant permits per-mits when they had no bird . stamp on it; and there were scores of other instances of confusion. con-fusion. We're sure a more simple 1 licensing method could be ar-j ar-j ranged. We note the State Road com- mission is fabricating the new j "Entering City" signs, visible at ' night, etc. We don't know what 1 they're costing, but the replacement replace-ment thru damage by vandals costs more than $40,000 per year. We'd rather have tourists ask someone what town they're going go-ing thru, and see that $40,000 . plus original cost spent on new roads. But maybe the signs are more - important than good roads. j Utah residents paid $72.48 1 each in state taxes, last year compared to a national average , of $59.59 per capita. And the average income for Utahns was . $1271, compared to a $1434 av- erage nationally. That breaks down to a $4.16 expenditure for every $100 over the nation, for state taxes, com-.' com-.' Pared to Utahns' $5.70 per $100. |
