He spent most of his life farming and was also the Heber city marshal for several sev-eral years. . He married Kathrine Murdock in 1885 and they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary July $4, 1935. They are the parents par-ents of nine chilren, 14 grandchildren grand-children and 17 great-grand children. His wife died in 1945 at the age of 80 years. "Uncle Dave" and "Aunt Kate," as they are affectionately known, adopted their grand daughter Mrs. Rodella Hicken Hunter, now of Salt Lake City, when she was small child and they also helped help-ed raise four nieces and nephews when they were orphaned while young. The last few years he has spent his winters in California with two of his daughters. He travels by plane. Mr. Hicken says, "In the early days I drove the oxen to plow the ground in my .bare feet, I have ridden on trains and busses, but when I fly through the air it is a grand sight to lock down on the beautiful cities and valleys. "I have been on the ocean and enjoyed all the wonderful transformations trans-formations that have taken place in 87 years." Mr. Hicken holds the office of high priest in the LDS church and flowers and bis happiest mo-first mo-first mission was to the southern states in 1901 and a short term mission when he was . sixty-five to the central states mission. Every summer he raises a garden and takes care of his lawn and flowers an dhis happiest moments mo-ments are spent visiting his friends, and loved ones. permits issued In all of last year by $433,588. v Topping the July permits was the authorization of the construction construc-tion of the new elementary school located on Fourth North between Seventh and Eighth West which is now under construction at a cost of $383,000. A breakdown of the July figures fig-ures shows that residential permits per-mits exceeded commercial both in the number of permits issued and the amount of money to be 'expended 'ex-pended in construction. Eleven residential permits were granted totaling $61,100 while the four commercial permits added up to the sum of $28,000. The new businesses include a structure being built by Homer McEwan located near the telephone tele-phone building anticipated to cost $8,500; and addition to the tele phone building costing $7,000: an addition being built by Dorman Willett for a beauty shop at $500 and a new structure under con struction by Rohbock and Sons at $12,000. The six permits granted in the garages, barns and coops classification clas-sification total $6,000. Comparisons show that last months total figure was' nearly twelve times greater than the total to-tal amount issued for the month of July last year and better than three greater than the total amount issued in June of this year. At the seventh month mark in 1947 the city had authorized $452,560 worth of new buildings. Mr. Wickman said that although supplies of building materials are still veryhort he expects the total to-tal for tne year to reach the two million dollar mark.

PRISCILLA'S POP By AL VERMEER Jisr thnkf 7io weeks to . j, . kaf, smm nd fshf Why, tt ) a 1 r Old Pavilion To Be Sold By Spanish Fork SPANISH FORK The city council after much deliberation has decided to put the old city pavilion up for sale to the highest high-est bidder it was announced after the council meeting held this week. Results of a recent survey by members of the city fire department depart-ment indicate that the historical old structure is becoming a fire hazard, and any further use of it would endanger the lives of persons involved. Some of the conditions brought to light by this investigation were a badly overloaded electrical wiring system sys-tem and accumulations of dust and old. paper decorations in the rafters. Since the survey also revealed that the furnace is worn out and the entire roof would have to be replaced before further use of the building could be made, the council voted to place the structure struc-ture up for bids from now until August 25th. The purchaser must agree to either remove or tear down the building, it was stip ulated. In the interests of public safety. the council authorized the send ing of a letter to the state engineer engi-neer requesting the survey of the 4th North-11th East intersection for the placing of a stop sign or a speed limit control sign. This letter is to further request an investigation of the entire city pertaining to traffic safety measures. meas-ures. The council also announced that the central reason behind the increase in the mill tax levy for this year is the increased outlay out-lay for equipment and facilities in the electrical department. A multiplied demand for power and a raised number of users has required re-quired the installation of new transformers and Ridded equipment. equip-ment. This steadily rising demand for power and lighting has so multiplied the financial needs of the electrical department that profits in that area which were formerly shared with other city depart emnstare tandthelons-eva departments are now sufficient to maintain the electric department depart-ment only. The added burden placed upon all other divisions through this condition has made the levy increase necessary. Heber Paints Up Parking Stalls HEBER In an attempt, to make and keep Heber clean, parking park-ing stalls and pedestrian lanes have been repainted along the city's main street. Other improvements which are helping to give the city its "New Look" include the oiling of all streets running east and west, and trash cans donated by the 20-30 club are now in appearance about the town. A spokeless steering wheel, in contact with the steering column near its front instead of at its center, is one of the unique new invention. Absence of spokes permits a better view of instruments instru-ments on the dashboard.

About Indians To the Lions Mitchell M. Carter, former ad ministrative assistant to Sen. A V. Watklns, chairman of the sen ate Indian affairs subcommittee, stressed a plan to save the Indian in an address before members of the Provo Lions club Thursday nignt. - "We must save the Indian from hit captors in the Indian bureau and help him to become a worth' while citizen," declared Mr. Cart er, and he added that "although there is at present legislation such as the Watkins bill which would provide for administrators on reservations instead of "bur eaucratically" governing Indians from Washington, the story thus far of the American Indian has been a story of. a minority people well on its way to assimilation into in-to the population until a govern ment bureau 45 years ago was given an opportunity to 'hasten the process.' " "Segregation of the Indian is in a large measure responsible for both foolishly sentimental attitudes atti-tudes and prejudices against the race, Carter made clear. "The bureau of Indian affairs! in my estimation is a perfect ex ample of what a government bureau bur-eau might do to you and to me if given authority," he said. He then pointed out that laws governing Indians are different in most states, and, in many cases, he is amendable to state laws and is responsible to the federal courts only for major crimes. O. Blaine Larson was acting chairman of the meeting and Mr. and Mrs. Leland F. Priday played two musical selections for violin and piano.
