Department of Publicity and Industrial Publicity Youth rolls up its sleeves Observing these vacation days, the activities of young Americans, one comes to the conclusion that they have not relaxed their effort to win the war. They seem to know there is still a labor shortage, says the Christian Science Monitor. Junior, continuing his manual training work, is serving as a carpenter's helper, while Bob. w hose adeptness won high grades in the high school machine shop, is putting his skill to practical use by reconditioning cars at the corner garage. Commercial-course Charles is proving his proficiency at figures in the department store where he has been working in the bookkeeping section since his sophomore year. Home economics Harriet has, by reason of previous experience, been advanced to chefs assistant at the Centerville cafeteria. Scores of vocational agriculture students are working on farms. These high school boys and girls are thus gaining a practical " know ledge of their school subjects. At the same time, they are serving as unwitting examples for any of their elders who. assuming the war is half won. may be inclined to relax their efforts. Moreover, summer earnings may become "nest eggs" for college funds. Ceiling prices for used cars reduced Good news for motorists came from the office of price administration today on automobile regulation changes, the community sen ice member of the Park City war price and rationing board announced. In accordance with the "rollback" provisions of the used car price regulation, ceiling prices for used passenger cars were ON BLINDS!!! ' 1 . fpSSSSSSS!-" XtrrjUjK -tmmr "1 - - - "fWDKm J 1 ' V " -v ' reduced four percent. The adjustment takes place periodically to compensate for normal depreciation. Charges allowed for extra equipment on used cars, such as heaters and radios, also were reduced four percent. Used 1942 automobiles have been removed from rationing. Principal reason for rationing these cars that they were the best automobiles in the country aside from new 1942 cars in stock, and so should be restricted to essential users no longer holds true, so continued rationing is unnecessary, the member said. In the future, these cars may be sold certificate-free certificate-free to anyone. "This action will not only relieve boards and dealers of a lot of work." he said, "but it will help deserving people who didn't qualify under rationing rules to obtain autos." Recent increases in gasoline rations for "A" drivers and boat owners, and increased tire quotas for the state also mean more pleasure driving and less hiking, he added. 25 Years Ago Mail-order brides hauled by Clydes In the Fourth of July parade. Tom and Mel Flinders' Wells Fargo wagon full of "mail-order brides" was drawn by two magnificent Clydesdales (the breed originated in the Valley of Clyde. Scotland). This fine pair of draft horses (Clyde and Curly) are five-year-old brothers which the Flinders family purchased last August from Alvin Chaffin of Blackfoot, Idaho. The horses arc registered with the U.S. Clydesdale Association and have lineage with the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses.

Etch ofllaa It IndfpwiMnay ownd ind opmkd. horses, but Flinders' Clydesdale pair wear Size eight shoes and are one of the largest teams in Utah. Tome has trained the horses himself and is apologetic that he wasn't able to let Clyde and Curly really step out in their best fashion because of the downhill slope which brought about braking the team and wagon to keep proper distance between the parade participants in front and back of them. The wagon is an old beer wagon which the Flinders have restored. The wagon will be in the days of '47 parade in Salt Lake City on July 22 carrying the "royalty." Kate B. Carter and Wilbur ' Parkinson, and other '47 officials. Their 1887 U.S. Cavalry wagon will follow the Wells Fargo wagon which will be number three in the all-horse parade. On July 24, the mail-order brides will again be seen with the same ladies at Park City's parade. All are waitresses at Flinders Mountain Meadow Ranch; they are Linda Homer of Wanship. Betty Jones of Heber. and Kathy Sargent and Barbara Winters of Coalv ille. Getting back to our Fourth of July parade, the other first place winners were the senior class of Park High's "Ink.

Call the Matthews '1 David & Jane MATTHEWS David & Jane Working For You 14 Days A Week news another week, he said. On June 27. the City Council awarded a bid for $523,000 to G and R Contractors, a division of the Salt Lake-based firm of Gibbons and Reed. The work includes hauling 35.000 cubic yards of soil from the Silver Springs area, grading the soil to a six-inch depth and seeding the area. The contract specifies that 80 percent of the seed must germinate. The seed mixture will be made up of 98 percent grasses and two percent clover. The city will donate water for the project. DeHaan said the project will not look like a golf course when completed. The area will not be free of all rocks and the meadow grasses are not the type that lend themselves to putting greens, he said. However, any perceived health threat from tailings dust will be eliminated. DeHaan contends. The material used for the topsoil will be very low in heavy metal concentrations, he said. Prospector's tailings began to receive public attention in October 1983 when a study by the Utah Geological and Mineral Survey revealed the area had high levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium and inc. Subsequent testing by the Utah Department of Health found four Prospector children with elevated blood levels. The health department, however, found "no imminent health hazard." Earlier this year, a special improvement district was formed by Prospector residents and businessmen who wanted to upgrade the area to the original design. Most of the balance from the $1.3 million will be spent on benches, flower boxes, lights and a walking mall in Prospector's commercial district. The commercial area will receive topsoil along with the Prospector residential area. Parry Landscaping has subcontracted to haul the topsoil. Seeding will not begin until autumn.
