In addition, Uintah won eleven excellent ex-cellent ratings and five good ratings. The junior high marching band also won an excellent rating. Six-year-old Mark Seamons, blind cancer victim, won the hearts of his audience as his young fingers danced over the piano keys in a professional fashion between regular shows at the Vogue Theatre Sunday. Proceeds of the movie were donated to the 1954 Uintah County Cancer Drive by the theatre owner, Mrs. E.R. Lawrence Cooper. Utah Motor Company has been purchased pur-chased by Yvonne and Henry Millecam Jr. from owners Jack C. Turner, Frances Feltch and Tom Mayberry. A strong wind forced the baseball game at Altamont to end after the fifth inning Wednesday afternoon with Vernal Ver-nal leading 14-1. It was the second defeat for Altamont. Union won a game from Altamont and lost to the Utes, while Uintah has won both their games to become region champions. Building up of the subgrade on the $122,000 state paving project from Highway 40 at Jensen north to the Brush Creek bridge began last week, according to R.A. Slye, resident engineer.

Smith, secretary and Ken Mortensen, treasurer. 50 YEARS AGO May ,4, 1934 Harrassed water officials and farmers who are "growing grey" worrying wor-rying about the acute water situation may find some solace in a prediction made recently by J. Cecil Alter, federal weather bureau meteorologist. Mr. Alter forecasts that the next six months or year will see the beginning of a period of abnormally wet years, and he bases his prediction not on the almanac or sun spots, but on the law of averages and on past experience. This is the seventh consecutive year of below average moisture, and this situation cannot continue indefinitely, Mr. Alter emphatically asserted. He explains that the records show previous periods with several years of drought but theretofore the longest was five years' duration from 1900 to 1904 inclusive. Mr. Alter's records show that the period from 1928 to 1933, inclusive, piled pil-ed up a precipitation deficiency of nearly 17 inches, without a single year of the six having even a normal amount. This is in addition to the departure of minus 1.51 inches recorded record-ed since Jan. 1, 1934, making the present pre-sent drought period by far the longest and most severe since record keeping began in 1874. The junior and senior invitation high school day, held at the Uintah High School Friday, was very successful, considering that it is the first of its kind to be held here. Representatives were sent in from all the junior and senior high schools in the country with twelve outlying schools being represented. Events were carried through with much speed and precision, one following follow-ing the other in rapid succession. Two banners for the school winning the most points, both junior and senior high, were both won by the Vernal schools. Word has been sent to E.J. Young, Jr., from G.L. Haerr, assistant administrator ad-ministrator Utah emergency, that on account of lack of funds the school lunch projects will be discontinued in Uintah County on Friday, May 4. May activities set at First Baptist Church May has been designated Stewardship Steward-ship Fair Month at Vernal's First Baptist Bap-tist Church to let members know what are the church's financial and personal per-sonal service needs. "Usually stewardship is done in a very sterile way you talk about budgets and tithing," Pastor Herb Stoneman said, adding the church intends in-tends to show its members during May the various programs it offers, as well as proposed ones. "With all the new members we're getting we need to profile many of the things we do," he said. In the past four months 84 persons have joined First Baptist, bringing the resident membership to approximately approximate-ly 325. And it is the large influx of new members that has revealed the need to offer stewardship instruction, Stoneman noted, because the church has run out of space and the programs it presently offers must be expanded. First Baptist, located at 2100 West Highway 40, plans to begin construction construc-tion of additional educational and recreation space this year. The church's budget relics totally on voluntary giving and Stoneman said members need to be reminded of that. "Giving, if it's God's giving, is with Joy," he said, adding, "We want this to be a time of people learning to give without feeling obligated." Not only will the Stewardship Fair highlight proposed programs, but it will also show members where they tan use their talents in the church, as teachers or musicians, for example. "We'll be moving stewardship from a sort of sterile thing to an involvement involve-ment of the individual at every level from the giving of his talents and time to the giving of his financial resources," Stoneman said. Members will have the opportunity to approve and prioritize the various programs displayed in the Stewardship Fair booths which will include the proposal of hiring a music and education educa-tion minister at a church business meeting June 6. Stoneman's Sunday morning messages in May will center on stewardship and commitment issues. Sunday worship at 11 a.m. is preceded preced-ed by Sunday School for all ages at 9:45 a.m. Other May activities at first Baptist include a contemporary Christian music concert with "Spirit Unlimited" May 14, and a three-day series of meetings with special speaker Bob Jones, May 18-20. The church's drama troupe begins its area-wide presentation of "Fork in the Road" a drama written by church member Lyn Williams-May 17 with a dress rehearsal. Its first show is May 20 at the Roosevelt First Baptist Bap-tist Church, followed by a show May 2 at the Vernal First Baptist, and one June 3 at the Duchesne First Baptist. During May plans are being finalized finaliz-ed for First Baptist's Vacation Bible School, which is scheduled for June 11 24. Some 300 area children are expected ex-pected to attend the daytime activities. For additional Information on these programs, call the church at 789 1347.
