Its seriousness, however, has been greatly exaggerated and much of the alarm is unwarranted. In all, there are about 30 cases in town, all of them, with possibly two exceptions, of such a mild nature that they resemble slight blood humors instead of the real disease. dis-ease. However, admitting them all to be smallpox cases, which they undoubtedly are, they are being strictly and carefully looked after, and , a most rigid quarantine enforced. Dr. Ward is giving his whole attention to the smallpox patients, and every case coming to the attention of the other physicians physi-cians is reported to him. To discuss the situation, the mayor and part of the city council met with the physicians of the town Thursday night, and while the physicians strongly recommended recom-mended vaccination to our citizens citi-zens they did not consider the situation sit-uation at all alarming, and nothing noth-ing to warrant a scare. Neither did they think it at all necessary to close the public schools or prohibit prohib-it public gatherings. They of course advised strict quarantine measures, and thought it would be advisable to notify all who are quarantined of the penalty prescribed pre-scribed by law for violating this measure. It is six months in jail, $100 fine or both, and it will be enforced. The school houses are to be fumigated every Friday night, making these buildings as safe a place for children as could be found for them. Popular eating house The Silver King Restaurant, presided over and owned by R.D. Sutton, still holds its place as the leading eating house in Park City for those who know what they want. This is due to the fact that all will get what they order at the Silver King Restaurant and cooked, furthermore, in the proper prop-er way, Mr. Sutton giving his personal per-sonal attention to this branch of the business.. Another pleasing feature of this resort is the neatness neat-ness and cleanliness of the place, and the fresh appearance of everything. Being next door to one of the largest market houses of the city, Mr. Sutton is enabled to supply each customer with a fresh cut of whatever he orders and, therefore, has no stale stock lying about to fill an order. This is why he enjoys the best trade of the town. 50 Years Ago Tragic sleigh-riding accident Last evening a sleigh-riding accident snuffed out the life of Dwight Scott, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott of this city. Dwight, with companions, was sleigh-riding on Empire Avenue. He turned on 10th Street, coming to Norfolk Avenue, where he collided col-lided with an automobile driven by George Polychronis. The young lad was taken to the Miners Hospital, but died shortly after with a possible skull fracture. Investigating officers do not place any blame on Mr. Polychronis, as he was driving slow and could in no way avoid the accident. Dwight Matheson Scott was born in this city on May 28, 1944. He was a pupil in the Marsac School, being in the third grade. Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Bobby D. and Kenneth. Funeral arrangement are pending pend-ing awaiting the arrival of his father, who has been employed in Kitchekan, Alaska, since the closing clos-ing of the Park Utah Mine here. "Death came with friendly care, the opening bud to heaven conveyed, con-veyed, and bade it blossom there." Reminder of Korea servicemen Choice of U.S. defense Bonds as Christmas gifts this season is a direct way of telling overseas servicemen ser-vicemen they are not alone or forgotten for-gotten in the struggle to establish peace on earth, holiday shoppers were reminded today by Ed. J. McPolin, Defense Bond chairman for Park City. "Colorful jackets for gift bonds are free at banks and post offices," Mr. McPolin said. "Defense Bonds make a better gift this Christmas than ever before," he declared. "Besides being' Unusually appropriate the new 'even better' bonds yield higher interest and mature earlier. "There's a wider choice of bonds and a denomination to meet every need. They're easy to buy - away from the Christmas crowds. A Defense Bond is a gift that grows and grows over the years. "This year you'll want to give the present with a future; the gift that keeps on giving." During November, bond buyers in Utah once again invested more than a million dollars in the nation's most popular securities. State totals for the month were $1,113,941 in Series E and H bonds alone, Charles L. Smith, state chairman, reported. 25 Years Ago Foster leaves Mexico under exchange plan Corky Foster, a prisoner in a Mexican jail for over a year after he was arrested for attempting to smuggle cocaine, was among the first Americans to be transferred to the states under a new prisoner exchange program. Foster, co-founder and captain of the Park City Muckers rugby team until his arrest, was one of 126 prisoners to be flown to San Diego, Calif. Friday and Saturday. The transfer, which received widespread attention from both national and local media, will bring a total of 235 Americans held in Mexican jails home by Dec. 17, while about 50 Mexicans held in U.S. jails will be sent to Mexico. At press time, close friends reported they had not been in contact with Foster directly since the exchange, but "Alamo Dave" Meuller, current coach of the rugby team, said Monday he was attempting to arrange the services of an attorney for his friend. Parole Officer David McDowell in Salt Lake told The Record Monday it was still too soon to tell where and how long Foster would be serving in a U.S. prison. Foster served 13 months of a nine-year sentence in Mexico. McDowell said Foster would serve a sentence sen-tence yet to be determined by the U.S. Parole Commission and would be sent to a federal prison chosen by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. The two agencies will interview each prisoner individu-" individu-" ally before determining their fate. Foster could remain at a San Diego prison, but he will not return to Utah, since the state has no federal prisons, McDowell said. . Foster and his wife Annie were arrested last fall attempting to cross the Guatemala-Mexico border bor-der and were charged with possession posses-sion of three pounds of cocaine. Mrs. Foster was released on $4,000 bail and returned to the U.S. The rugby team captain has reportedly lost close to 100 pounds under the brutal conditions condi-tions of a jail in Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico. 10 Years Ago Kamas man dies in PCS A accident acci-dent On Saturday, Dec. 12 at approximately approx-imately 5:30 a.m., Dean Blair was killed in an accident at the Park City Ski Area. The snow-grooming driver was found partially buried in the snow lying by the snow-grooming vehicle he had been driving. He was taken by ambulance to the Park City Family Health and Emergency Center where he was pronounced dead at 6:24 a.m. Ski area officials said at the time of the accident he was trying to dislodge his vehicle which had become high-centered.

He also helped build the Silver Putt miniature golf course and he worked on the Alpine Slide for several summers. In February 1990 he was named the PCS A employee of the month.

His son Charles and son-in-law Mark Shook are both snow-grooming drivers at the Park City Ski Area.
