Show Page A t 6 Thursday, September 1 1, 1986 Park Record Chili Mews Telegraph experimentssilver prices and plague of illnesses top the news By BETTINA MOENCII DOOLEY Record contributing writer 100 Years Ago A century ago, Thomas Edison was headed off to Florida, where he intended to conduct experiments with the earth's currents. He was sure that the results of those tests would revolutionize telegraphy, and, in fact, would soon make telegraph wires a thing of the past. Closer to home, the Salt Lake Tribune reported that the silver market was on the rise, with prices reaching 95 cents an ounce from the previous low of 91 cents. The Park Record noted that miners were, "anxious to see it go to 129.29, where it really belongs." According to one local mine operator, the recent fall in silver was due to a London syndicate, syn-dicate, "which purposely beared the market as far as they could, loaded up quietly, and are now waiting serenely, with the certainty of making mak-ing enormous fortunes," said the Record. "It is prophesied that silver will be up and past the 100 mark inside in-side 10 days. This is good news to everyone in the Park." The Record made note of the fact that a series of illnesses was plaguing plagu-ing Parkites. Fortunately, help was in sight. An ad in the Record pointed out that, "a good nurse must not From Time to Time hesitate to wait on those with diseases such as Small-pox, Cholera or Scarlet Fever." That may have sounded brave or suicidal to most readers. But, "little is to be feared when using Darby's Prophylactic Fluid freely." According to the ad, all one needed to do was put a little fluid on a plate or saucer in the sick room, and everyone in the household could feel confident that germs and illnesses would not spread. 25 Years Ago In a Letter to the Editor, T.C. Gates wrote: "The members of the Union, Citizens of Park City in general, business men and others highly resent the fact that the Labor Day parade was not held on Park City's Main Street for the first time in many years. We deeply regret this change." Other changes were deeply regretted: regret-ted: Former Park City mining superintendent Charles David Clegg died at the age of 89.

For 16 of the 47 years he lived in Park City, he was a city police officer and deputy sheriff. 10 Years Ago Merle Huseth, vice president and treasurer of the Park City Ski Corp., announced he would be leaving in two weeks to accept the position of manager of finance for the Big Sky Realty company in Montana. Before arriving in Park City in 1973, Merle had worked for a certified public accounting ac-counting firm in Los Angeles. The story in The Newspaper pictured a long-haired Merle, who predicted that "I think Park City is going to be the best ski resort in the country. It is just now touching its skiing potential." poten-tial." While he had mixed emotions about leaving the friends and town . he'd quickly grown fond of, Merle noted that "It's an opportunity I can't pass up." Merle was leaving, but new people were always arriving. Among the newest were Mary and John Demkowicz, who in August bought the Shenanigans ice cream parlor at the top of Main Street. John, a civil engineer, and Mary, a nutritionist, had just moved from Chicago, and already were making changes at Shenanigans. Ice cream still, of course, but they also were adding sub sandwiches for those brisker months when frozen objects were nicer to ski on than to eat. And, The Newspaper warned those who were growing marijuana that a thief was at large, ripping down the plants at will. The paper said the problem was reaching epidemic proportions, causing unseasonably early harvests. The article advised growers that, given the status of such activities on the law books, it was best to direct their wrath to the local cannabis thieves rather than the constables. The issue was so heady that the paper posed the question in "How About It," asking ask-ing locals to offer their views on whether marijuana should be decriminalized. "Yes!" said an enthusiastic en-thusiastic Jay Meehan, adding the . "Over the years, Ma and Pa Meehan have just about run out of bail money." Local historian and lodge owner Bea Kummer didn't find the subject quite as humorous. Decriminalize dope? "No sir," she said emphatically. "All the trouble I'v had at my place in past years has resulted from marijuana. Trying to get through to kids on marijuana is like trying to penetrate a brick wall." t Chit Cdisnit by Bea Kummer Junior flower, garden show is approaching The Womans Athenaeum will hold a Junior Flower and Garden show, Saturday, Sept. 13, at 1327 Park Avenue from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. This is for fourth and fifth grade students who received seeds for their gardens last spring from the club.

Burial was in the Heber City Cemetery . Chiropractic Outlook By Donald A. Cofer, D.C. Nervous Backache Unrelieved tension can be a major cause of spasm or inflammation of muscles in the back of the neck. Taut muscles release waste products that irritate neck and shoulder regions. Your chiropractor diagnoses that stub-bom stub-bom pain as a tension backache. , ' A thorough examination checks your posture, any neck or shoulder tight spots, and any muscle fixation in the small of your back. Chiropractic recognizes that gnarled back or shoulder muscles pull your spine out of position and put abnormal pressure on your spine. Abnormal spinal movement move-ment is often at the root of your nervous ache. Spinal manipulation relieves physical symptoms resulting from nervous tension that is binding your muscles and joints. Relieving the pinching pressure in spinal nerves eases the ache. Presented By Cofer Chiropractic . And Sports Injury Clinic 649-1017 Located on Hwy. 224 across from Park City. Golf Course |
