Show 9 jbuuta, But 9 Jr-ZGAfr 0 wvl By STEVE WILLIAMS Byron Pullem brought us in a clipping from an Arkansas hews paper showing they have trouble trou-ble with drouths down there too and lose a few ducks themselves, them-selves, as we do up here with botulism. " Federal Game Warden John W. Perkins estimated that about 10,000 ducks have died in Arkansas because of eating dry soybeans, dehydrated by a pro-" pro-" longed winter drouth, then the beans swell when the duck drinks water, and the craw filled with soybeans swells and bursts the duck's neck., Dick Foerster and Selma.Kirk deserve an extra measure of credit for their participation in the successful E S A Sorority March of Dimes Minstrel. j,ust year, costumes and gag material cost the local group $125. This year Mrs. Kirk arranged ar-ranged for making of costumes "'V and Mr. Foerster wrote the show and most of the gags, saving sav-ing an extra $125 for the March of Dimes fund. Milford News posies to both these public spirited citizens. See where a Chicago judge demands "speedy justice" for teen agers in crime. He should visit Southern Utah. Here, when a teen ager is arrested ar-rested tor a law violation, he is released to his parents and the juvenile judge notified. His usual answer is that he'll "be up sometime within the next month." We understand he allocates al-locates one day each month for handling juvenile cases in each of the several Southern Utah counties he serves, and that's it! And when he does visit Beaver Beav-er County, he doesn't hold court in Milford. The Milford officers and parents have to meet him in Beaver. We think juvenile cases are more important, actually, than adult cases. Speedy hearings in juvenile cases, with prompt and sufficiently severe penal-ties, penal-ties, will materially cut down the number of major crimes later in life. The Other day Butch Hutch-ings Hutch-ings dropped in to ask if I'd heard about the new teacher at Milford High. Since our 16 year olds pal around together a lot, I'd heard! Seems the students aren't permitted to talk in the . new teacher's class; they can't throw papers on the floor, or stand up and walk around, and when he gives them an assignment, they: . either get it completed on time or do about three times as much additional work. What a cruel, cruel world for those students! ! But we agree with Mr. Hutch-ings Hutch-ings and we think most parents par-ents agree that expecting students stu-dents to pay attention to their instructor, maintain order, and complete their assignments is what teachers must do if the students are to get any benefit from their classroom hours. And so far as enforcing discipline disci-pline is concerned, we say if it becomes necessary to enforce discipline, then more power and more parental support for the teacher who will go ahead and use a little force. The new teacher is Harry M. Nutt, of Fordyce, Ark. He is a veteran of four years U S Army service, has been teaching for two years before coming here, and is teaching geometry, physics, algebra and eighth grade mathematics. Welcome to Milford, Mr. Nutt. Tuesday afternoon we accompanied accom-panied State Patrolman Gordon Farnsworth, Sheriff Lee R. Fillmore Fill-more and City Marshal. Wally Fotheringham on a search of the road to Delta, looking for possible clues to the disappears ance of the Heaps b'oy trom Cedar City. The Delta road was the only one that had not been previously checked by posses. Watching those officers work and listening to the radios of three central stations and half a dozen patrol cars, all coordinating coordi-nating at intercepting law violators, vio-lators, was an education in modern law enforcement meth ods. ' ' ' -"'''' "-v . ' Those officers stopped and checked, from each end, every culvert or bridge we crossed, every gravel pit that was near the road, every side road, even many clumps of sagebrush and (Continued on Back Page) Here's More About I DUNNO Continued Irom Page One rabbit grass, and driving at only 10 to 20 miles an hour so they could watch the side of the road for car tracks turning off, footprints, foot-prints, or signs that something I had been dragged into the 'sagely 'sage-ly brush. And they always kept an alert eye out for concentrations concentra-tions of crows or vultures. That Farnsworth guy can look at a car track and tell whether it was made by one of the lighter cars, the middle-weights middle-weights or the heavies;' whether wheth-er by a pickup truck or larger truck; which direction the car was traveling, and whether the the front wheels were properly balanced and whether they toed in or out. It took more than four hours to drive from Milford to the Deseret crossing, but we can swear that the road in' between was very well searched. |
