More than one hundred and fifty guests called during the afternoon and evening with congratulations for Mr. and Mrs. Ekins.

Ray Will Sell $2 Hunting Badges As Benefit For Hospital Fund During Pheasant Hunt There was a good representative group of interested farmers and civic club members at the public meeting last Wednesday night, called by the West Millard Hospital Hos-pital Assn. committee, C. M. Pace, chairman. The main topic for discussion was the proposed sale of hunting badges for the pheasant season, which was agreed upon, and funds will go to the hospital building fund. Badges will be sold, at $2 per hunter, for the 7-day pheasant season in Millard, opening Nov. 11. They will be sold at various business bus-iness houses in Delta, and at road blocks. This year the badges will be limited to 3500, as pheasants are reported shorter this year. No more badges will be sold after the 3500 mark is reached. The badge will permit the wearer wear-er to hunt anywhere In West Millard Mill-ard except on those fields marked "No Trespassing" or No Hunting", to protect livestock. The individual farms will not be posted this year, as in former years, with signs allowing hunting there to badge wearers. The farmers, far-mers, almost one hundred per cent, are in accord with the badge sale, and It will be taken for granted that the badge entitles the hunter to hunt any and all fields.except where otherwise posted by the individual farmer. West Millard area will be loaded with game wardens for the pheasant phea-sant season, with local men deputized depu-tized by the state, and wearing state badges. They will have the authority to enforce the law and see that hunters abide by it. The badge sale is being oonduc-te-i In cooperation with the State Fish and Game Commission, and J. Perry Egan, director. Mr. Pace had a telephone conversation with Mr. Egan Wednesday before the meeting, and Mr. Egan expressed complete satisfaction with how the badge sale has been handled In former years, and his support of this year's saie, including sending down the game warden badges. West Miilard hunters are expected expec-ted to buy the $2 badge, as well as out of town hunters.

Graphic, if somewhat gTuesome reminders in the form of white wooden headstones are being placed pla-ced at strategic points over the state. In black letters the epitaph tells of four of the most common causes of gun accidents. The idea originated with Lee Kay, education chief and respected long tirne department workman. Many people saw the first such display of these graves and signs at the fish and game building during the recent state fair. Following much favorable comment, com-ment, the department has now built and distributed fifty sets of these markers to locations where they will be observed by thousands of deer hunters going afield for the October 22 general opening of this largest of all the state's participant par-ticipant hunts. Records show that over a twenty year period gun accidents have declined de-clined in proposition to the number of hunting licenses sold. The continuing con-tinuing goal of all concerned is to keep this trend downward. Over the years thousands of posters depicting safe gun handling hand-ling have been distributed. Safety films have been shown to civic, wildlife, school and other organizations. organ-izations. These efforts have no doubt played an important part in keeping gun accidents at a minimum. mini-mum. Records show 18 fatalities from gunshot wounds in Utah last year. Most of these did not occur in the actual hunting field. The majority resulted from "unloaded" guns or mishandling of them In cars, camps and homes. It is to be hoped that these latest gun safety reminders in the form of headstones will be observed, obser-ved, read, and remembered. If so, it is believed they will also contribute con-tribute greatly to more safe and sane hunting seasons. Closing Season Or Underground Water Slated State Eneineer Joseph M. Tracy has proclaimed the closing of wells divertine water from under- eround sources beginning with November 1, 1955, and ending on April 1, 1956, as provided by law.

DHS Rabbits Are Winners 13-7 Over Lehi Team A newly inspired Delta team beat a fighting Lehi eleven by a score of 13 to 7 in the game here last Wednesday. For once the Rabbits Rab-bits had the breaks, the luck, and mostly the talent and came thru in fine style. Lehi gained a total of 84 yards but Delta doubled it with 164 yards. Ken Sampson gained 70 yards, Jerald Finlinson 32 yards, Larry Wright 11, Eddie Cole 22, and Garth Finlinson and Gary Dutson each had a total of 8 yards to their credit. The passing was clicking with Ed Cole and Clyde Roper doing the passing for Delta. Out of 11 passes attempted, 6 were completed com-pleted and 1 was Intercepted. Lehi was able to penetrate the strong Delta defense only once when they went for their only TD in the game, early in the third quarter. Outstanding in defense play were Jay May, who was "high tackle man," Joe Brumley, Mike Warnick, Lon Jackson, and Bryan Petersen. The highlight of the game came when Jerald Finlinson plowed his way through the Lehi line and went over for the first score in the game. The conversion was good and Delta went ahead and kept the lead throughout the game. The deciding TD came when Ken Sampson ran a punt back up the field behind some brilliant blocking for another six points. The Rabbits threatened several times but gambled and lost the ball to Lehi befort they could get another TD. But, as both coaches, all the studentbody, and most of the townspeople will tell you, it was a hard fought game and the plucky little Rabbits, who don't know the meaning of the word "quit" came through with flying colors. The team, the coaches, and the studentbody appreciate the support sup-port that the townspeople have shown lately, and we hope it continues. con-tinues. The time to really get behind a team is when they're at the bottom; otherwise they will never reach the top. Next Friday afternoon the Rabbits Rab-bits take on Richfield over there. Thanks to some civic-minded organizations, or-ganizations, the game will be broadcast over KSVC. Programs will be handed out, and a loudspeaker loud-speaker system will be in operation. opera-tion. It should be a great game! Why don't you go watch your son play?

List Millard Benefits On Social Security Of the $7200 In monthly social security benefits being paid In Millard County at the end of 1954, $1900, or about 30 percent, went to mothers and children, according to Kesler T. Powell, Social Security Admlnstration district manager in Provo, Utah. Mr. Powell pointed out that pay ments to mothers and children have significance to the community commun-ity as a whole because they help families to stay together after the death of the breadwinner. In the nation as a whole, 271,536 mothers and 1,160,770 children were receiving social security Insurance In-surance payments at the end of 1954. Total payments in 1954 were $133 million to mothers and $451 million to children. Under the old-age and survivors insurance program, workers and their employers and self-employed people pay Into a fund while they are working, and when earnings stop because of the death of the worker or because he has retired, payments are made from the fund to the worker and his dependents or to his survivors. In all, 200 people in Millar! County were receiving $7200 each month in benefits under the old-age old-age and survivors insurance program pro-gram at the end of the year. This wa an increase over 1953. One reason for the increase was the passage of the September 1954 Amendments to the Social Security Secur-ity Act. These amendments increased increa-sed all benefit payments and made it possible for the first time for survivors of some workers who died after 1939 and before 1950 to qualify for payments. Beginning in September 1954 the amendments permit the "dropping out" of up to 5 years of lowest earnings in figuring the worker's average monthly wage. This has the effect of increasing the average aver-age earnings, from which the mon thly payments are figured. Other Improvements in the law made by the 1954 Amendments went into effect in 1955. and there fore are not reflected In the bene fit figures for the end of 19o4. Among these were the bringing of many more employees and self-employed self-employed people under the law and the beginning of the "disability "disabil-ity freeze," which protects future benefit rights of former workers who have become totally disabled. Mr. Powell pointed out that nine out of ten mothers and children are now protected by old-age and survivors insurance in case of the death of the family breadwinner and that In the entire country about half of the children whose fathers have died are now receiving receiv-ing benefit payments. A representative of the social security adminstration will be at the County Office Bldg., in Delta on October 26th at 9:00 a.m. Anyone Any-one desiring to contact him may do so at that time.
