I certainly hope so7 A good friend recently said there is only one thing worse than not voting and that's voting uninformed. uninform-ed. I agree. The meeting begins at 8:00 p.m. Be there, okay?? Main Street Delta Main Street is getting a better-dressed look these days, thanks to Ruth and Prosser Ashby and their remodeling of the Crest Theatre. The theatre has been renamed, re-named, you know. It is now the Sahara. Ruth took me on a tour last week and when completed It will be beautiful. Delta has had many new additions to its Main Sstreet within recent years. All are welcome. More On Voting "The less you vote, the greater the danger of dictatorship," is taken tak-en from the Editor's Corner of the Sept. issue of The American Legion magazine. Quite a thought and one we should all take to heart. History, Hist-ory, since Athens, repeats this lesson les-son over and over. Five Cubans recently said in Miami Mi-ami "It is all our fault. (Castro) We never cared about politics and whom to vote for until it was too late. We were too interested in our own affairs to bother about understanding under-standing politics." There is so much that could be said on lack of voting. I've said much before. I certainly hope that every- qualified person in Millard i. registered and votes in the Nov. 8 election. Education Snooks and Evan are conducting a very successful hunting school. I'm going to have a hunter yet. Those two are tops in teaching and Bob really enjoys the field trips. 'ers Complete '66 Pro jes clubs within Delta is the First Year Electricity Club whose leader was Tom Rynearson. There were nine enrolled in the club. Officers of the club were Richard Waddingham, pres.; Greg Rynearson, vice pres.; Douglas Rynearson sec. - tres. The club members studied the 4-H book "Exploring Electricity with Sparky" which helped to direct the members in all their projects. Unit 1: On the theory of electric current: Experiments were given by Eobby Bunker and Tommy Bladen to help the members understand how electric energy reacts when applied. As a club, the members were taken through the new Delta High School to see how electric current cur-rent works on a large scale. Unit 2 and 3, Cells and Batteries: The meaning of magnetism was learned more fully in study of these units. Each member made a compass com-pass and magnetized it himself. Projects to enter into the 4-H fair were made at the home of the leader, Tom Rynearson. These projects pro-jects involved batteries and wiring, the series flasher using three batteries bat-teries and a contact strip wired to a lamp socket lit up a 4'j-volt lite. This was mounted to a piece of wood with strips of tin. The Quiz Board was quite a lot of work but was enjoyed by all when completed. When a wire was touched to a question on the board and members touched what was thought to be the right answer, a light would flash if correct. The Quiz Board worked without having to change anything, much to the delight of the members and their leader. The Delta 4-H members would like to thank the many leaders for their guidance and patience shown this year.

Will Convert Systems Free of Charge Utran, Inc. will pay all enpense of converting any church to natural gas. Utran will also pay the cost of the actual enversion of any resid ential oil burner to natural gas. This announcement was made by Mr. L. Frank Hale, President of Utran at a meeting of Utran repre sentatives in Richfield Saturday. Utran, Inc. is the firm which is working to bring natural gas to Southern Utah. Utran representatives representat-ives have been in the area for the past month obtaining franchises from all incorporated towns. Mr. Hale stated, "The franchise in each tewn is important evidence at our hearing for certification before the Utah Public Service Commission. In building this natural gas line we will have to pass by the communities communi-ties which are not franehised and we will not be able to serve them until they are franehised and an other hearing is set by the Public Service Commission of Utah. A hearing is expensive and time con suming. It is possible that a town rot franehised now could conceiva bly wait two years for gas while the line to surrounding franehised tewns is built and in use." Utran representatives are also obtaining gas usage contracts from all major firms and industries. The fuel usage figures from these contracts con-tracts will be used by Utran's eco nomic analysts, Foster & Associates of Washington, D.C., to compute the rates for the Southern Utah area. These rates must be approved by the Utah Public Service Commission, Com-mission, which assures a reasonable cost to the consumer. A survey of home-owners is being made by delivering a post-paid return re-turn card to the residents. These cards will be used as evidence at the hearing before the Utah Pub lic Service Commission. The cards have a place for signature. They are not valid unless signed. Any resident who has misplaced the card delivered to them should write to Utran at P.O.
