Wright, Superintendent $130,000.00 SlOllJlOQ y SERVING Volume 49 Number Hew Mail Plan Speeds Service To Utah Points The new Metropolitan Mail Movement Move-ment Plan that went into effect 'Monday, June 8, is designed by the Postoffice Department to give improved im-proved service and quicker delivery on mail throughout Utah. Under the new plan mail posted anywhere in a Utah postoffice before be-fore 5 p.m. will be delivered any where in Utah the following morning morn-ing Postmaster June Black at Delta Del-ta said. This is accomplished by an overnight over-night exchange between postoffices in as large an area as possible, by express star routes. This huge plan, when placed in eJfect, superceded 25 existing star routes, replaced by 41 new routes with many branch routes. This new schedule replaces the star route service formerly in effect ef-fect from Delta to Kanosh. Mail for out-of-state is received and dispatched via the railroad, as usual. The remote areas in Utah will especially note the improved service. ser-vice. With Salt Lake City as the hub or center, and express star routes set up from there to sectional sec-tional center of Provo, Ogden, and other offices such as Richfield, Price, and Brigham City, the whole state gets overnight mail service. The new schedule affected the Chronicle in that we were unable to get many of our out-ow-town paprs in the mail by the deadline of 5 p.m. Wednesday for delivery Thursday. That applied to near neighbors, such as Oak City, Lynn-dyl, Lynn-dyl, Leamington and Fillmore. However, we think the new mail plan is a good one, and while we adjust to the new schedule involved in-volved we ask the forbearance of readers and advertisers.

Though no one remembers a year free of the pests, ' this year the mosquito crop seems larger and hungrier than in years. No one can go in the yards and to go in the fields is an ordeal, when the farmers far-mers covered with mosquitoes at once, all bent on a bite. And horses and cattle get no rest from the pests. Farmers report that the area where the thickest swarms seem to abound and spread is west of Abraham, where Abraham, Sutherland Suther-land and Sugarville drains empty. Other spots where they are intense are in the drains near Hinckley and Deseret. Crank case oils can be obtained, and have been used by the farmers. But other areas they have not reached still send out great swarms of mosquitoes. The farm families are extremely anxious to have a program set up, n M in Vlinds of Loca orses yew; mm be all they will be allowed to go into. Any horse that is in the halter hal-ter class can also compete in the pleasure horse class, and the western west-ern working horse class, allowing that no horse can receive more than two top awards.

Trophies will be awarded to the winners in each class, in addition the grand champion of the show will be selected. Prize money was set at $3.00 for blue ribbons, $2.00 for red and $1.00 for white.

According to the open letter In last weeks' Chronicle, by Bill Bishop, Bish-op, the Kiwanis Club has started on a project to create a Mosquito Abatement District for West Millard of which he is chairman. And he has spent much time in working on the program, stated that "we hope to have this done 'for next year". The farmers need relief right now and would like to have some spraying spray-ing done by airplane, for which they understand the Millard County Commissioners have $500.00. If a time could be set soon, when all concerned could get together for airplane spraying and crank case oil applications, a great deal of good could be accomplished. Apparently no committee is yet organized, but a large-sized group would be glad to attend a public meeting and make plans for immediate im-mediate work in this area.

Since walking is a bit slow for this younger generation and senng their father's tractor near, they decided that was the solution. The older of the pair had at times assisted about the feed yard driving the tractor (a John Deere) a number of times and had also observed very closely how his father fath-er started the monster, so knew all the gadgets to push and pull. The boys both settled themselves in the seat with not much room to spare, turned the key, pulled the lever, pressed the button and the John gave a groan, but took to motion and off they went. Since they were just going to hunt no gun was needed. The driv er, with his eye on the road took the putt putt cautiously out of the yard, over the canal, bridge and headed down through the field. About this time their mother, thinking It was time to check on Junior Rodeo Was Listed, Days of Old The annual amateur Jr. Rodeo at Deseret rodeo grounds Thursday night, sponsored by West Millard Riding Club, was a grand and glorious glor-ious event.

The bridegroom had to hide out for a while until the girl's family got tired of searching for them. This was the beginning of the honeymoon. hon-eymoon. Of course, these tactics didn't foster togetherness . . . and may have started the continuing battle betw een a husband and his mother-in-law.

With all the speed she could muster, dashing trough the field, she could not overtake the two adventurers. Her calls were drowned drown-ed by the noise of the motor and our two pilots were not anxious to hear or be disturbed. In their anxiety looking for the long eared invader, they failed to notice where they should have turned and a five foot embankment and a fence put an end to their journey. When their mother reached the scene she found the two very scared scar-ed youngsters hanging on for dear life. The younger to the older, and t"he older to the steering wheel. A few more inches and the tractor would have overturned. As the three trudged their way back home they decided their guardian angel had not deserted them in this hour.
