This musical is based on the tragic tra-gic episodes of the handcart companies com-panies as they migrated west. The drama will, nevertheless, excite laughter and romance and this is a wonderful entertainment for the whole family. ' Tickets are $1.00 for adults and $.75 for students. Tickets can be obtained from the following people: peo-ple: Bruce Lovell, at the lumber yard; Melva Finlinson, at the Arctic Arc-tic Circle; Marion Anderson, at Lem Lovell's Service; Donna Anderson and Martha Anderson at the hospital; hospi-tal; and from the Bishop of your ward. Supt. Golden P. Wright Supt. of Schools Millard District Fillmore, Utah Dear Supt. Wright: Thank you for your reply to my editorial of November 2. We, too, felt that it warranted space as it was of vital interest to the general public. Your answer to this letter will have the same appeal, I'm sure. Re-reading your letter, I find that you take considerable space to assure me (and since the letter was published) other taxpayers, that it is not your prerogative nor desire to influence the State School Building Committee in making their survey and recommendations. It strikes me as very odd, that you found it necessary to do this, as I did not hint of such a thing. Your answer is of vital interest on that, Supt. Wright. The only criticism that I made still stands. I have not SEEN nor HEARD nor READ anything to change my stand. The recommendations recommen-dations were available to you before be-fore the November meeting and you discussed certain points of them with another party. Two months ago, I had occasion to sit ia on another discussion of the condition of DELTA JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL and that it was in the process of being condemned. When I made the statement that perhaps I should take notes on the discussion discus-sion for a story for the Chronicle, I was asked not to as "things" were not definitely settled then but would be soon and that such a story in one of the county papers might cause a great disturbance. 1 was amiss. I should have begun asking questions then, but I didn't. I dismissed the whole thing from my mind as a "RUMOR" until I saw the copy of the State School Building Committee's report and the very same recommendations were there ALL IN BLACK AND WHITE. Coincidence? I think not Your report of August 2 states that the architect's written report to the local school board states ( x "i i . I By INEZ RIDING Jy 7 Z3 iDelta SERVING Volume 52 Number 20 A.

Didn't the written report, also, state that the architect archi-tect could not gain entrance into Delta High School but that the exterior ex-terior walls were in good shape? This is alarming to me as I had asked Mr. Fred Fowler at the No- vember meeting if he had read: the architect's written report when his committee had drawn up the recommendations and he answered ' in the affirmative. HOW COULD. A PROFESSIONAL MAN WHO STATES HIS PRIDE IN HIS PROFESSIONAL PRO-FESSIONAL STANDING AND WHO FURTHER STATES THAT THE COMMITTEE HAD TAKEN THE SURVEY AND DREW UP THE RECOMMENDATIONS RE-COMMENDATIONS IN A PROFESSIONAL PROFES-SIONAL MANNER BE LAX IN THIS? Could it be be because he had read your release of August 2 rather than the architect's written writ-ten report? If you will recall at the November meeting I also asked you who was at fault in this the survey team or the architect. I received no answer then, I hope that I will now. Two times during the November meeting, I directed questions to Mr. Ken Nielson, president of the local board, and two times you said "I'd like to answer that", which you did. I hope that you will de likewise now to my questions as they are directed to you not our school board president. The one thing in your letter that makes me exceptionally happy is your statement "Certainly the Board of Education is at liberty to accept or reject anv of the recommendations recom-mendations made therein". In closing may I ask that we both keep in mind the statement1 from the recommendation "to re-j ceive and accept a product which, is short of what is demanded can-' not be a good bargain no matter t how low the cost."

Mr. Works stressed that he was not in favor of "bulldozing" the building from the site if it could be used for a junior high school.

It was expressed that the consolida tions have been poorly timed. With the singing of the Delta High School song the crowd dispersed. dis-persed. -A MRS.

She was a girl 8 years old when her family came to the United States, and settled at Escalante, Garfield County, Coun-ty, Utah.

' iJf'i Rabbits Will Host Reams si In Semi-Hnais p.m. Saturday afternoon when powerful pow-erful Cedar City, champs of the Utah southern belt, tangle with the sometimes wonderful Rabbits on the local gridiron, before what is expected to be, the largest crowd to witness a game at Delta. This is the Utah State Class B semi-final game. The other semi final is being played between East. Carbon and American Fork at 2 p.m. tomorrow. The survivors will clash for the state crown at the Utah University stadium in Salt. Lake City on November 25th. Class A finalists also lock horns there that day. Redmen's Coach Hal Norton kept his boys in fine shape by whipping a strong Alumni eleven last week. His boys are in top physical condi tion and after much rugged practice, prac-tice, skull sessions, and student rallies are reported eager to get the job done. Delta beware! Victims of Cedar City during the season have been Dixie, Beaver, Kanab, Milford, Parowan, etc. And you can toss out that first loss to Millard. This isn't the same inex perienced crew that began against Taft Watt's Golden Eagles. These are battle-toughened veterans. Leader of the Redmen is LH Don- nie Roberts, 160-lb. speed merchant who may blister the Rabbit flanks (Pace and Knight, please note). Another contender from C.C. for all-state honors is sharp-shooting QB Kent Farnsworth who throws to Bill Vorkink or John Stevenson, both rangy ends who jump high for the track crew. In the Beaver tilt Farnsworth of Cedar rang up almost 200 yards on passing alone. And the Rabbits haven't especially shone on pass defense. The Deltans will be outweighed 11 lbs. per man in the line and 10 lbs. in the backfield. The poundage is evenly distributed along the Cedar Ce-dar forward wall. They are all big. As game time gets closer it appears ap-pears more and more like Delta's all-state candidate fullback Lonnie Hales may see little action. The cast is off his badly sprained ankle but he is favoring the wounded limb considerably. To fill in, Coach Bob Horlacher has tabbed Ken Bishop, Bis-hop, who is limping himself. This was incurred in a Junior-Senior practice affair. The Juniors gave the older boys a few lessons in football. A peculiar affliction has gripped the Red and White gang since the upsetting Millard victory. It is not unknown to winning teams. It is sometimes referred to as "tight-helmetitis". "tight-helmetitis". This unfortunate malady mal-ady stems from overdoses of press clippings, back-slapping, and cute little coeds gushing, "you're the greatest, honey-bun. . . ." Let us remind our fine laddies that they escaped with their lives at Richfield. That can't be explained explain-ed away by saying Hales' absence was the factor. Maybe. But it's a fact that twenty-two people are on the field. Cedar is going to be much, much tougher than Richfield. The victory in this fray is going to be the team that has the desire, that all-important mental condition. condi-tion. So, Delta team, let's be humble, hum-ble, set them down. You know a football player can't do much on his back looking at the sky. Delta, get ready! Be tough! Hit hard! Delta's business houses are shutting shut-ting down operations at noon for this game. We can't imagine any fan in this area missing possibly the biggest game in Delta's grid history. There should be a huge turnout from Cedar City, so Deltans, show how proud we are of the Rabbits when they hit the gridiron Saturday Satur-day afternoon. Let's rise and give them a real thunderous ovation for a fine team. STARTING LINEUPS DELTA Paul Pace, 160 lbs., Jr. Gary Tolbert, 145 lbs.. Sr. Pete Doolin, 160 lbs..
