Sunday School during 1936. Thursday, Jan. 3 1 , 1 957 In the first quarter Milford's Tomsik hit first from the field to put them out in front. Delta came back on a foul shot by Barben with about 1 minute of the game gone. It was Milford's game from then on that quarter with the Rabbits not hitting again for 3 minutes, when Barben hit a long shot just out from the keyhole, to put them four points behind the Tigers, 7-3. Each team exchanged baskets to end the quarter at 9-5, Milford's favor. In the second period things went An explosion Wednesday at 9:45 a. m. at the boat dock 1 miles west of Delta seriously Injured one man and completely demolished a large truck. A second man at the scene of the accident escaped with out injury. Albert R. Copp, 33, Edgerton, Wyo., received severe head Injuries, and alter treatment at Delta hos pital was rushed to the LDS hos pitrl in Salt Lake City by Nickle ambulance. His condition was considered con-sidered critical. John W. Day Jr., Midwest, Wyo., working on the .truck with Mr. Copp at the time, had his hair singed, but no other injury. The men had a contract with the Gulf Oil Co. to haul water for the oil well drilling operation 11 miles west of Delta. They had backed up to the boat dock at the reservoir this morning to fill (the 3500-gal. capacity tank on the truck. Prior to coming here two days ago they had hauled crude oil in the truck, and there was about one inch of crude oil in the bottom of the tank. Apparently the valve was frozen in this sub-zero weather, and the men started to thaw it with a torch. Mr. Copp was opening the valve, and Mr. Day had moved the torch to one side when the explosion ex-plosion occurred. The force of the explosion was felt 'for several miles around the site of the accident. Windows rattled rat-tled and walls shook In Delta, and farmers heard the boom. The truck was a tangled mass of wreckage. Both ends of the tank blew out, and one flattened the cab. Wreckage was thrown far and wide, some 150 feet out into the reservoir, and 500 feet into the field. Ken Clements, State Highway Patrol, and Eddie Mills, deputy sheriff, investigated the accident. A call for help was made from the Derral Christensen home right after the explosion, and the Delta fire department, doctor and ambulance ambu-lance rushed to the scene J I v7 9 From left to right, they are Ven-na Ven-na Walker, Linda Walker, Mia Maids, Gay Ogden, Junior Gleaner, and Gayle Johnson, Mia Maid.

Half-time j score was 17-12, also for Milford. I When the tip-off started the third period, fans saw a "red-hot" bunch of Bunnies hit from almost anywhere. any-where. Altogether they put 17 points through the net to Milford's G, to go out in front for the first time in the ball game by a 29-23 margain. But in the fourth and final period, per-iod, the Rabbits again "caught cold" and only put 2 baskets thru the hoop in the last 8 minutes. While this was going on the Tigers were steadily narrowing the margin mar-gin until they were only two points behind with less than 5 seconds 'eft on the clock. At this point the fans went wild, and as seconds were clicking away, Eddie Cole was called for hacking and .brought Memmott of Milford to the foul line to try two pitches. He put the first one in, (33-32 for Delta) and rather than try to score the other, gambled on hitting the rim and bouncing back to him. In oiifr this the ball bounced to Town and he jumped, shot, and scored, to give the Tigers their second sec-ond such victory over the Rabbits 'n two years. Final score, 34-33 for Milford.

The selection of Mark S. Johnson, Millard County commissioner for the past 20 years, as winner of the Mark Tuttle Award for 1956 can be sanctioned by most Utahns. The award carries with it the honor designation as outstanding county official in the state during the year. It is given each year by Howard and Hugh Tuttle in memory mem-ory of their father, the late Mark Tuttle, who was former state auditor audi-tor and organized the first meeting of county officials of Utah 34 years ago. Mr. Johnson deserves the best wishes of citizens throughout the state for not only this new honor but also the years of service which contributed to his being respected by county officials throughout the nation. Deseret News, Jan. 22, 1957 CHROSiiCLE TO COME OUT YEDHESDAYS Beginning with this issue the Chronicle hopes to get back on the schedule of coming out on Wednesday, Wednes-day, instead of Thursday, as we have been doing for the past six months. To keep on the earlier schedule, which we think is best for our readers and advertisers, and the staff, too, it is necessary to have our material in one day earlier. We need the earlier start to get the type set and on the press. So from now on, we are asking your cooperation in getting news articles in early. W e are asking our correspondents to have their news in cn Monday, no later, instead cf the usual Tuesday, and advertisers will have their copy in by Monday neon, also. If we don't have mechanical troubles to delay us, and our news and ads are in a day earlier, we can keep to the Wednesday schedule, which we think you will like. Of course, there are always exceptions, as today, on our first try. We are holding up press time while we get the story on the explosion V ednesday morning, morn-ing, at the boat dock at the reservoir, that seriously injured one man and wrecked a large truck.

REGION MEET The Region Wrestling meet will be held on the 8th day of February this year, and the place has not yet been decided. It was held in Cedar City last year, but with the addition of 2 more .schools to the I region it puts things a bit "hazy" , for a chance to hold the region matches in Delta. Time and place will be listed in next week's paper. The wrestling team is as much a part of the Delta High School Athletic program as any other sport and is gaining more interest every year, with the wrestlers winning the State Championship three times since the "A" and "B' 'schools were separated.
