The International Meet "being JF Vt:J Swalberg ii wo of Lest we forget, here is a little flashback of 49 years in this great desert valley. Mr. Albert Watts arrived at our Railway Station on October 15, 1909, with his box car of household goods, farm equipment, chickens, three cows, one horse, etc. His wife, Grace, and their three sons came on a passenger train, from their -home in Prado, California. They stayed at the Land and Water Co. office (Geo. Roundy's home) that first winter. They were permitted to use one of the upstairs up-stairs rooms to sleep in. They had two large tents close to the building build-ing to do their cooking and eating in. During their stay there, Mrs. Watts served meals to the prospective pros-pective buyers of this new land project. In the spring they moved out on their newly acquired land, far out in the Sugarville district, then known as Alfalfa, into a very small humble abode. While in this very crowded uncomfortable little house, the Ashby brothers, Lynn and Fred, came to Grace and wanted to board with her while they were building their homes out there. "No!" she didn't want the joh, but she did it anyway. When their homes were completed they were so grateful, they promised her that when she got ready to build her a home they would do it for her. Now that she is back in Delta and would appreciate a home of her own, these two brothers have long since left this veil of tears. "But, they would do it if they were here and able," she comments. The Watts family attended the 24th of July, 1911, celebration in Delta or Burtner as it was called then. While Grace was watching the sports at the bowery she noticed notic-ed a fair haired mother wrestling with a big husky baby struggling to free himself from her arms to be on the ground. Finally she said to the mother, "Why don't you put your baby down and let him play while you rest your aching back and arms?" The mother welcomed this suggestion and while the baby enjoyed his freedom and the powdery pow-dery dirt, these two ladies introduced intro-duced themselves, and thus was the beginning of the life-long friendship for Grace Watts and Henrietta Barben. The Barben's and the Watts' had dinner together that very day. The Barben's had :;vt: Mr. $3.50 a year in Advance ADULT EDUCATION CLASS Mrs. Lucille Stapley of Delta will instruct a 10-week Sewing class at the Delta High School Home Ec. room beginning Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Stapley taught 22 weeks of Sewing last year at Sutherland and 24 weeks last year at the Millard High in Fillmore.

World Congress held in Minneapolis this year will highlight world peace as one of the main themes. One of the interesting features of the Congress will be the translating trans-lating equipment which is being furnished by the International Business Bus-iness Machines Company, in the interest in-terest of International Understanding. Understand-ing. The IBM wireless translating system sys-tem is an individual lightweight receiving set equipped with earphones ear-phones and aerial, so that each listener can move about while hearing hear-ing the translation in his own language. A great opportunity for the U S. Jaycees is to show other delegates from overseas the great American way of life. One of the main outcomes of this type of meeting is for Jaycees from all over the world to discuss and solve problems they have in common, and to help create a mutual mut-ual understanding of all countries, and their way of life. Mr. Swalberg will leave Salt Lake City by plane Sunday the 16th, and remain in Minneapolis for the week of Jaycee World Congress activity. moved to the new community the preceding May. After a year or so the Watts family moved to Woodrow and these jolly, congenial lady friends became neighbors. Shortly after settling in Woodrow, a man whom Grace had never seen before, came to her home and asked ask-ed her if she would make some burial cloths for an elderly man who had just passed away, in their district. "You want me to make burial clothes? My goodness! I have never done such a thing in my whole life! Why, I just couldn't do such a thing." He replied, "Some one told me about you and said that you would be a good hand to do this job." She told him that she didn't know where any one could ' ever have Mrs. Watts gotten such an idea about her. In his dire need he said, "Mrs. Wratts, will you please at least try?" "Well, yes, I will try, if I can get Henrietta Barben to help me." So off he went and got the friend indeed. in-deed. There wasn't much of anything these two women couldn't accomplish, accomp-lish, if they set their heads, hands and hearts together. They went to the Wells Robertson's store and found a nice piece of white Indian-head Indian-head material which would make into a suitable white suit for the deceased. They went to Ethel Boyles' home ' viiiiara s widest l Six persons were injured Monday and two cars were considerably damaged in a head-on collision at 11:55 a.m., at the intersection 'of Ly.nndyl's South Main St., and U S.

Mrs. Hanson had leg lacerations and Mr. Hanson was uninjured. The accident occurred in a heavy dust storm, and visibility was very poor. Both cars were travelling at a low rate of speed. Neither driver saw the other until the impact. All were treated at Delta hospital, hos-pital, and Mrs Clark was later taken to the LDS hospital in Salt Lake City for surgery on her shoulder. Trooper Ken Clements, Utah State Highway Patrol, was first man on the scene of the accident, at 12 noon, and investigated. He had D. S. A. Banquet In the Offing hacn year about this time, in every community throughout the United States, and sixty-five foreign for-eign countries, where there are Jaycee organizations, preparations are getting underway for the Dis tinguished Service Award (D.S.A.) Banquet. Ths Banquet is to honor the most outstanding young man of the year, between the ages of 21 and 35, who has done the most good for his Community, State, and Country. Last year's local winner and one of the top three contenders in the State, was Thorpe Waddingham, our new State Senator. Mr. Waddingham will head the committee this year to pick a winner win-ner for the Distingushhed Service Award. A tentative date for the Banquet is set for the latter part of Jan. einiiiasce to do the sewing. They ripped up an old denim jacket and a pair of the dead man's trousers for patterns. pat-terns. It was late in the day, past time to feed their families their supper, when the clothing was complete, com-plete, and they were just preparing to go home when word came that the three neighbor men who had made the casket had completed their job now, would these women wo-men please go down to the Thimble Cluh Hall (later the Sugarville Ward Hall), and dress the casket. The dead just had to be buried as soon as possible in those days, so away they went to do another kindness thev couldn't refuse. They went to the store again for materials, which was just a short distance from the hall. There was only one roll of cotton batting that had to be stretched to cover the TV Mrs. Barben sides of the interior as it was a large casket. What could they use for padding for the bottom? The only thing available was some packing grass which had been used in a case of bananas. White outing flannel was used as a covering inside in-side and out. There was some pretty pret-ty lace to go around the upper inside in-side edge. The only light to work by was a coaloil lantern hanging from the ceiling on a wire. When the job was completed and everything ready for the 'burial, and a good neighbor man waiting to deliver these two ladies to their homes, Grace and Henrietta, who just left the Lynndyl elementary school, where he had given a talk and showed a film on traffic safe ty. 71st Ilirtlitl.-iy Mary Talbot, Lynndyl, celebrated her seventy-first birthday Monday, Nov 10.

Registration fee for the contest was $1.00 At the end of the Deer hunt all antlers that were brought in were measured and Jim's was the largest with a spread of 36-58 inches. The rifle was a 308 Model 70. Three-vay Rassel Speed and Ardella Riding were on the losers side in a run in with a deer. The couple had been to Fish Lake for a last fishing trip this ' year and on the return trip to Delta, Del-ta, Ardella was driving and Speed was snoozing in his corner, when a deer appeared from nowhere and ran into the front left fender on the car. The car was turned completely com-pletely around, heading in the opposite op-posite direction and skidding approximately ap-proximately 60 feet from the point of impact. The Riding's were pulling their boat and it turned over, breaking the motor and scattering fishing gear all over. While Ardella was retreiving the gear, Speed was examining ex-amining the deer (which was dressed dress-ed out slick as a whistle) and decided de-cided that Ardella was the only woman in the world who could kill and clean out a deer in one simple operation Estimated damage to the car, boat and motor, Speed's snooze, and Ardella's ego is $450. Moral of story: Thefe must be an easier way to go deer hunting! had to snatch their fun and smiles as they went along in their busy rugged lives, and even though the occasion was a solemn one, wondered wond-ered if they had made the coffin bed as comfortable as it should be? They tried to get the neighbor to take off his shoes and get in it and try it out. He emphatically refused re-fused to do so, in spite of their solemn pleadings. I imagine he had visions of getting in and having these pranksters plop down the lid for a few minutes. No sir! he just wouldn't oblige or trust them. They kept teasing him until he threatened threaten-ed to go home and leave them to walk home. Grace said to him. "You wouldn't go and leave us to walk clear to Woodrow, would you?" But from the look in his eyes, she knew they had better get their things in a hurry and get into his wagon. It was real late and never was there a blacker night they almost collided with a big load of wood on the narrow wagon road. One day Grace's husband wanted her to go to the Webster store and get him some salt to salt down the pork which he had butchered some time previous. She gladly walked the mile to the store, and the mile back. When she handed the sait to Albert, he glared at her then asked her in a not too complimentary complimen-tary tone, if she didn't know that that was only half enough salt to take care of the meat? She would have to go right back and get more or the pork would be spoilt. Grace, who was near tears at the tone of her husband, just had to drop in and seek a little comfort (Continued on back page ) A.E.W. TO END FRIDAY The week-long programs of A.E.
