The event was marked with many interesting in-teresting and sometimes amusing anecdotes of years gone by. The following account of the occasion is by Mrs. W. R. Walker, president presi-dent of the club and the only remaining re-maining active charter member.) The above is a picture of the Jolly Stitchers annual banquet given giv-en in honor of their husbands at Woodrow Hall, March 23, 1963. Dinner Din-ner was catered by Hatch's City Cafe. The tables were attractive with their runners of blue and gold (club colors), their floral arrangements arrange-ments and their golden candles. The old pot-belKed stove at the east end of the hall had received a shining for the evening and stood proudly as if to say "I've done my duty well". The windows were festive fes-tive with balloons, in lieu of drapes, because the drapes had gi- Chronicle Helps Make 4-Color Adv. History The Millard County Chronicle is one of 500 weekly newspapers in the nation who are helping to make advertising history by a series of three full-page 4-color advertisements for Massey-Fer-guson farm equipment. The first full-page is included in this issue. is-sue. We're one of 12 Utah papers. The whole concept of HiFi Preprints Pre-prints developed in New York City where none of the newspapers newspa-pers print color of their own. In 1958 a large New York agency decided to look for a way in which color of magazine quality could be placed among black and white pages of a newspaper, historically his-torically the place where buying minded housewives could be reached. The solution lay in having the advertising printed beforehand like wall paper in continuous design de-sign and shipping this preprinted material in roll form to newspapers newspa-pers who would run it into their presses. The final product was an ordinary newspaper with one of its pages in color, color equal in quality of reproduction to any national magazine. The Massey-Ferguson Preprint represents the maximum localization locali-zation of this kind of advertising to date. Because many of the small town newspapers' press equipment cannot mechanically use rolls, these papers were supplied sup-plied with sheets. About one out of three newspapers required sheets, instead of rolls. By being able to print on the bade side of these sheets, the full-page color ad becomes an integral part of the newspapers. The usage of Preprints since 1958 has expanded from less than 300.000 impressions to over 400 million last year. Massey-Fergu-son'i use of Preprints for small newspapers has truly been a pioneering pio-neering effort and similiar usage can be expected in the future. Harold Done is the Massey-Ferguson Dealer in our area. s ven up the ghost when we went to clean them. The Walker grandchildren grand-children had put in quite a bit of "blowin' " on the balloons but they were effective. Maxine Bishop read the club litany and Frank Bishop offered the blessing. The program theme was "Let Us Remember". June Reid at the movie projector and Josie Walker as moderator recounted re-counted many early construction scenes of the canal building and the U. B. Dam, this was captioned by a poem "U. B. Dam" from an old Chronicle. Successful crop pictures pic-tures of those early and expectant years were flashed.

We have three to offer. We suggest that Delta City anney the proposed city building and post office of-fice site to Delta City Park. This location would lend itself ideally to water fountains and public rest 1 rooms. It is certainly large enough to accomodate such facilities and both are needed at the park site. Another suggestion that we offer concerns weed control. Checking with various businesses on weed control chemicals we found that products are now on the market which sterilize ground from three to five years, depending on soil conditions. One, at least, has been tested locally. This product is At-razine. At-razine. Fenatrol is a newer product and is used after weeds are up. Some of the businesses who probably prob-ably have these products or can get them are Morrison & Co., In-termountain In-termountain Farmers, Vodak Tractor Trac-tor & Service, Moody Bros., West Millard Co-op, Oasis Seed, and Harold Done. If the city would invest in-vest in these soil sterilants for Burton, Kcssler To Visit Delta Congressman Laurence Burton and Attorney General A. Pratt Kes-ler Kes-ler will be in Delta Tuesday, April 9. This stop is one of many that they will be making in a tour of Congressman Burton's sprawling district. A no-host luncheon is set for 1:30 p.m. at Hatch's City Cafe. Anyone interested in meeting with Congressman Con-gressman Burton and Attorney General Kessler is invited to attend J the luncheon and the talk meet ' afterwards. The two will leave from Delta for Fillmore. Mark Paxton is mak-, mak-, ing arrangements on the east side ' of the coanty. Otis Walch is in charge of arrangements here." oith Pacif do the same but I'll have to think up names for triplets". We showed pictures of old methods of harvesting harvest-ing beets, the old beet dump, the railroad that ran out to Sugarville, and the drain diggers. One picture shown was on the Tracy home with the judge standing by. This picture was accompanied by the following story. When Mr. Tracy acted in the filming of the old silent movie at Baker, Nevada, jokesters put a glass of whiskey on his head and shot it off. He often remarked in great glee "Whoever heard of an Irishman with a glass of whiskey on his head instead of in his belly". All the pictures brought forth many interesting and humorous comments. The pictures included the John Dalys and family, the Shipleys, the Underhills, the Web-sters, Web-sters, the Add Austin family, the maintenance of street purposes it would improve the appearance of I the city and eliminate some of the ! grass fire hazards. Third sugges tion that we offer concerns the Delta library. Figures may be a-vailable a-vailable proving that Delta could have access to a more up-to-date library through Bookmobile for less money. Golden Black is a member of the State Library Board and a talk with him on this matter could prove both interesting and enlightening. en-lightening.

Why not purchase every item possible from county businesses?

Subscriptions are $4.00 a year of which SI. 00 will go to the hospital hos-pital fund. Subscription notices will NOT be ma'led out until the drive is over. Such a drive will enable subscribers sub-scribers to renew subscriptions and boost the hospital fund at the same time. The same will hold true for new subscr'ptions. $1.00 from each new subscription will be added to the fund.

In the summer of 1916 a young lady from Nevada weighing around 225 lbs. came to work for the Walk ers. Clad in commodious black bloomers and shirt she ventured across the flume and dropped in. She became frightened and would not let go of the cross beam. Ward Robison and Harvard Abbott tried to lift her out but was unable to do so and they released her grip The black bloomers loosened in the current and came ahead of her. Winn Walker and Lawrence Abbott met her with a blanket and towed her to shore. The bloomers proceeded pro-ceeded on their merry way in the canal current. Early pictures of the Woodrow School were shown, also, with cars and the Morrison school bus stuck in the mud. The story of the old hall is one of the best. Feeling the need for a community social hall, Jeff Clark, Hi Shiere, Clyde Underhill, Mr. Op-penheimer, Op-penheimer, J. J. Clark, Herman Munster and others met at the home of George Webster which was also his store. This was originally the home and business of Bob and Minnie Jenkins and was the first post office In Woodrow. Elsie Webster Web-ster had made a pan of tarts for the meeting to be served with the liquid refreshments and J. J. sat down on them. Others turned him over, scraped the tarts off and sat him on the oven to dry. The hall was built by donations and labor and its social life was colorful and heartwarming. The Community Church held Sunday School there for several seasons. When community interest passed to a low ebb the Jolly Stitchers took over the hall. The drain lein was taken up by Layfette Morrison who deeded it to the Jolly Stitchers. The club always had a member on the hall board and has contributed contri-buted hundreds of dollars to its up keep. We've braced it, remodeled remodel-ed it, nurtured it, recoated it outside out-side and just about "RE" in every way. The club rooms and kitchen are modern and convenient, the big room remains unpainted, we gave the funds to the West Millard Hospital. Hos-pital. I think paint would have spoiled the charm of the old place. Our outdoor relief stations are in good repair, also. Pictures of the old Jolly Stitchers picnics, weiner roasts at the old grove, the banquets for our husbands, hus-bands, our Easter hat display all brought back fond memories. Our club through the years has helped with any type of charity that anyone can name. "We've had 'em and we've done 'em", sums up one old timer. The early history of the club was given by Nell (Daly) Sorensen. Nell recalled days when she rode in the back of a wagon with Leona Daly, Doris Ottley, Mae Shipley driving Jack Daly's mules traveling back and forth, far and wide to stimulate stimu-late interest in a non-sectarian social so-cial club. The first meeting was at Mrs. Pounds (where Cutler Henrie lives now). Alice B. Campbell was first president. Ladies present for the first meeting were Doris Ottley, Mrs. E. H. Clark, Mrs. M. P.
