Show I - MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs.. June 4.1953 Pee Vee Leaders Get First Half Underway The Pee Wee league got their schedule under way. Tuesday, June 2, when six teams got together to-gether and played 3 o their games. The Delta 2nd ward walked all over the 3rd ward, and beat them 12 to 0, while Hinckley, too, had a successful day, and came off with a 12 to 11 win over the Delta 1st ward, in a thrilling game right up to the final inning. The other game that was played was between Deseret and Lyndyl, and the results have not been turned in yet. Oak City dropped out of this league, on account of not enough players that age, and each team that is scheduled to play them will be a bye. This year the Pee Wees will play 6 innings instead of 5 as they played last year. Each team can purchase a rule book from Merlin Christensen, if they have not already al-ready done so. The game to watch next week will be the Delta 2nd-Hinckley game, to foe played at Delta second sec-ond ward ball field, located on the Lyman Row. All manager of the ball teams listed in last weeks' Chronicle, have your game results turned in to me at the Chronicle office or by some other way. and get them In as soon as possible. . Leon Hunsaker BALLFIELD LIGHTING PROJECT The ballfield, just north of the Palomar, has been started and the poles are here and have had their first coat of paint, and just waiting wait-ing for the post holes to be dug. Anyone who can spare a few hours can came down to the field and help dig them. When you do come, get in touch with Merlin Christensen, before you start to do any digging, and he will tell you where and what has to be done. The wards are not going after this project very well. Some of the wards, when they are contacted contact-ed to come and do their share of the work, don't think much about it. If they happen to not be doing anything some night, then they will come and do the work, but this has got to ge done fast. So if your ward is contacted, come and do the work right away, and How To Measure Water By Second Foot Or Acre Fossils Found In West Millard There have been several farmers in West Millard ask, "what is the j difference between a second foot (or cubic foot of water per second) and an acre foot?" Every irrigating irriga-ting farmer should know the difference dif-ference fully, for without this fundamental fun-damental knowledge he is unable to do an efficient job of irrigating. Cubic feet per second is a measure mea-sure of water flowing in a ditch, stream or river. The time element indicates the water is in motion. It is a block of water 12 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 12 inches long, moving at the rate of 12 Indies In-dies per second. If this movement were to continue 'for 24 hours, there would be 8G.400 cubic feet of water pass a given point. Acre feet is a measure of still water, or water in ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It simply means one foot deep over one acre. There are 43,560 square feet in an acre so that one acre foot of water actually equals 43,500 cubic feet. A convenient tool that an irrigator irr-igator can use is the relationship between cubic feet per second and acre feet. Since one cubic foot per second delivers 86,400 cubic feet in 21 hours and since two acre feet equals 87, 120 cubic feet, there is only a two-tenths of one acre inch per hour. This way an irrigator can know what depth of water he is putting on his land if he measures his water and land and keeps account of the time. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Erickson are spending their vacation on a trip in the middle west. They visited their sister and husband, Mr, andMrs. Chad Fidel, at North Platte, Nebraska., and the four of them attended the dedication cere monies for the Memorial Bridge at Omaha. They telephoned their mother, Mrs. Jean Johnson at Delta, Del-ta, Sunday and said they were enjoyingitheir trip. Mrs. George Finlinson, of Oak City has been a patient at the Delat hospital since Sunday for medical care. not keep putting if off, because it will really be a wonderful thing when it is completed.

They may be seen at the Chronicle. These specimens, millions of years old, are the largest from this area we have seen, and indicate trilobites 9 inches or more in length. The fine trilo-bite, trilo-bite, found earlier by Nels Bogh measures 3 and 34 inches.- The two head pieces were found about two miles apart. The tail pieces, fossil and cap. were found about 3 feet apart. Mrs. Hegman says they turned over 1000 rocks that day to find them. Pace of Remodeling Can Suit, Size of Owner's Pocketbook ' . - - .

Several new windows were added. A major advantage of horned- remodeling is that improvements can be made step by step, with the pace of the work fitted to the owner's ability to pay for it. A home can continue to be lived in while gradual change takes place. A home on the range near Baker, Nev., is an example of how this is done. It also shows the extent to which modern building materials permit transforming an old house into a comfortable, up-to-date dwelling. When Mr. and Mrs. George Robison homesteaded their ranch 47 years ago, all materials, including in-cluding lumber, had to be freighted freight-ed in over rough mountainous roads. The house necessarily was simple and compact. Tney gradually added rooms and made interior changes. Then they found, as most people do, that interior Improvement must be matched on the exterior if the hous is to serve satisfactorily as a home. To modernize the exterior, they .selected asphalt roof shincles and .asbestos-cement siding. The colorful col-orful roof now contrasts pleasingly pleas-ingly with white sidewalls. Both materials contribute to fire safety. A fire-resistant roof performs the valuable function of warding off sparks from chimneys and outdoor out-door fires. OLD BEDROOM NEW BATH DRAWERS " j '! CLOSST ITV n S3' Z3 dl Combination bathroom and dressing room was converted from an old bathroom. Included are a built-in dressing table, drawers, closets, and shelves. A combination bath-dressing room was added later and is one of the most appreciated rooms in the remade dwelling. It was converted con-verted from an existing bedroom In addition to the usual fixture the. room boasts a dressing tab' four built-in diawerj, ar.d clothes and linen close' Roof a 'Must In Home Inspection j One of the experienced house- holder's first jobs when spring i weather comes is to check the j roof of his house to make sure it has withstood winter storms. If there are any sisns cf a leak, it's wise to ask a contractor to ; make a thorough inspection. Even j a slight leak is serious because it . usually indicates that the entire roof is on the poir.t cf wearing ' out. 1 Patching a worn roof is rarely recommended. The normal procedure pro-cedure is to reroof while the old i material is sufficiently sound to be retained as a base for new roofing. Asphalt shingles cart be nailed directly on top of most old materials for economical application. 1 yr l?yrii'n it" New Laboratory Tests 'Weathering' Of Home Materials A new $30,033 laboratory at the National Bureau cf Standards in' Washington is bein u?ed to test the durability of building materials mate-rials intended for exterior use. Ten ""weathenng" machines are used to expose a-pha!t shingles and other products to controlled cycles cf artificial sunlight, heat, and water. In add tion. the bureau bu-reau employs 3.000 outdoor test panels for study cf materials under un-der actual conditions cf use. Research results are turned over to material manufacturers. They use the information, in conjunction con-junction with their own research data, to mainta:n and improve a high standard of quality. 31akes Trips To Alaska John Alfred Adams returned to Delta last Wednesday from a trip to Anchorage, Alaska, by truck. He was moving supplies for the government from Hill Field, and was gone from home for a month. Mr. Adams says the trip of 3300 miles to Anchorage took 8Vi days and the return trip was 8 days. He spent a week- in Anchorage, where he visited Carol Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hansen, who has been teaching school, and is now teaching a summer class. He also saw Bill Niebel, Otho Bulkley's stepfather, there in construction. Mr. Adams' young sons, Anthony and Nolan, made the trip with him and enjoyed it all. They saw moose, mountain sheep, porcupines, porcu-pines, and foxes and lots of scenery. scen-ery. During the week at Anchorage Mr. Adams also says he learned to roller skate. He has his equipment ready for another trip in the near future, and this time Mrs. Adams and their son, Raymond, will make the trip with him. Dear Suzy, I have read the Livestock show d four times now and have failed o find where they gave any credit o Judy Shepherd. They patted all he buyers on the back and gave hem a nice thanks, but when it ame to Judy, who was a very mportant help to the sale, they skipped her entirely. Judy went to the sale alone and istened attentively to the pal-iver pal-iver of Jim Manning, and actu-lly actu-lly believed him when he said hat "anyone could bid on the stock". So she got right in to the 'pirit of things and went to work. Prices went up in leaps and bounds with her forceful bidding, and "here was but only one fly in 'he ointment-she stopped bidding each time on the grand champion ambs at 50 cents. Her folks heard about the deal at supper that night and asked her if she was actually bidding n the animals and she said yes, fhe auctioneer had told them anyone any-one could bid. Asked if she had any money and she said sure,, she went to the sale with 55 cents, and they were bidding 28c, 29c, etc, and so she figured she could just as well have a lamb. The reason she stopped every time at 50c was that she wanted to save a nickle for a popsicle, so that she could have a lamb and a popsicle, pop-sicle, too. She had lost interest in the lamb sale when the champions were sold, or the prices would all have been excellent for the following foll-owing lambs. It was just a case of Judy wanting the best or noth ing at all. Now you can see why the stock show people should give thanks to Judy, too. All of west Millard is on pins and needles today wondering how the Battle of the Board will turn out, and wondering if there will be any lynchings, shootings, or fist- in rod 1 1 "Who'i Hf Jolt with Jmnlciat Carolyn Callister, Dorothy Elack and Elaine Sorensen .whose trio, the Deltones, has been a popular feature during the year on various var-ious programs, were honored at an award banquet Monday night in Piovo. The girls each received a gold pin as top performers at the BYU, as their trio had taken part on more programs during the school year than any other school group. The girls are freshmen at the BYU, and in addition to Y programs, have been heard on TV and radio, and civic and social progarms. of the overpass, the right to sell chances on quilts in Delta, and the unstretched hides of W. C. Cole and Supt. A. M. Maughan. When the rest of the people heard about that meeting they got busy and held one in Delta to which 400 came anxious to erase the blight which Hinckley had cast on them. They appointed a committee to offset the work of the other committe and the were instructed to ask for all the students, both high school and elementary, that had been going to Hinckley, a direct pipeline to Delta of Hinckley water, two cases cas-es of beer, Curley Swensen's purple pur-ple polka dot pajamas, (somebody Mr. and Mrs. George Leany from Lehi spent Memorial Day in Delta and visited their sister and husband Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Mitchell. must have Deeked). Carl Theobild's icuffs over the closing of the flowing well and the Days of Hinckley high school. i tne Old West and Hincklev Twenty All anyone knows are rumors, ! Fourth of July celebrations, and and most of them are exceedingly flavored. Below are some of the choicest that I have heard. You can believe them at your own risk but I would advise against it. But here they are, and you can maybe get some sense out of them' I'm sure I can't. It seems that when the Board voted to close it the action irked Hinckley no end, and so they got busy and held a meeting to see what they could do about it. They had a high school on their hands with not very many interested in attending it. It seems that when the chips were down, Oasis, most of Deseret and Abraham deserted them and wanted to go to Delta. So the committee decided to ask for all of the students west of the railroad, (it is rumored the railroad running to Fillmore) half were also instructed to put in a bid on the old railroad station at Black Rock, which has just been closed by the Union Pacific. So with both of these committees com-mittees today you can see that it will be a most interesting time had by all, and you can also see that no matter what action the Board takes there will still be trouble with a capital "T". There are not many in these parts who are looking forward to a position on the school board, unless the per son looking for that position has lost part of his marbles. It looks like there are more headaches attached at-tached to that job than all the bromo in the world could cure. Well, we shall see what we shall see. .Toots ess MORE POWER! MORE PEP! MORE PULL!
