Midvale poultrymen and members of the Midvale Lions club are planning to participate in the formal opening of the new $250,000 central office of the Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association in Salt Lake next Wednesday. This celebration is said to be the biggest thing ever attempted by Utah poultrymen, and if, as is probable, floats are entered in the gigantic parade, Midvale expects to send a float that will do the city proud, according to Harry Grass and C. E. Matthews, presidents of the Midvale Poultry association and Lions club, respectively. Every poultryman in Utah and southern Idaho, whether a member Q.f the association or not, is invited and urged to attend the festival, it was announced recently by Clyde C. Edmonds, state association general manager, who said all attending would be assured a full day of education, fun and entertainment. A parade through the heart of town, an inspection of the huge plant in full operation, a short mass meeting and a dance will feature the meny-making. Not only are poultrymen urged to be present, but the public is cordially invited to join in the celebration. It is expected thousands will participate. In Full Opt!ra.tlon The plant will begin operating about one week before the celebration day, getting in full l!Wing for the visitors' inspection. It is one of the largest, best equipped and most modem all-round poultry establishments in America. The parade, opening the celebration, will form at 10:45 a. m., March 25, on North Temple street in Salt Lake. Promptly at 11 o'clock it will proceed down Main street, past the Brigham Young monument to Fifth South, where walking contingents will drop out or board cars, and then continue to the plant on Quayle avenue and West Temple. Headed by Band Headed by a large band, seven sections, interspersed by smaller bands, and colors will make up the parade. The officers and directors of the association will ride in cars behind the fkst band, followed by a section of railroad officials, with each company hauling Utah eggs being represented by at least one auto load. The central office force, and branch managers and warehouse employes will compose the next two sections, followed by cars 'from the 40 different local units in the state association. A fleet of the association's trucks, likely decorated for the occasion, will bring up the rear. The several bands distributed throughout the length of the parade will be furnished by local associations. Guides on Hand Upon arrival at the warehouse, about 1 p. m., the visitors will be divided into groups to inspect the plant, each accompanied by a guide to explain the various operations and facilities. Each party will end its tour at the association's commodious garage where refreshments will be served. Inspection tours will continue until 6 p. m. and at 7 o'clock poultrymen, visitors and officials will assemble on the third floor of the main building for a program of short talks and entertainments. Dancing will begin at 9 p. m. and continue as long as the cr owd desires. - ENmUSIASM GROWS IN 4-H CLUB WORK Under the direction of Horace W. Burgon, plans for further organization of 4-H clubs has started. A survey of seventh and eighth grade stu~ents has been made and over 100 boys and girls have expressed their enthusiasm and were anxious to undertake one or two of the many projects offered. There are 25 separate bases of the work listed. When the organization is completed all activities will originate and come !rom the individual club member whose officers will act as a unit in executing the affairs of the community organization. Mr. Burgon is endeavoring to have Sandy selected as the center of all county 4-H club activities. Arrangements have practically been completed to have all county meetings and 4-H club leader instruction classes held at Sandy, the geographical center. The leaders have expressed a desire to COD!orm to these arrangements. ~ORLDCO~TVIE~S --MIDVALE STREET IVacation Trip NEW HIGHWAY TO SIGNS ERECTED Given Readers DRAPER GETS O.K. Completion of the erection of fortythree standards bearing markers designating the streets of Midvale, together with a checkup showing 100 per cent of the houses of the citv properly numbered, was announced Wednesday noon by Watermaster A. A. Larson who was in charge of the work. This, in additidn to a resolution passed at the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday evening authorizing the repairing of all sidewalks where necessary, brings close the time when Midvale will have free city delivery of mail matter. According to Postmaster C. I. Goff a survey was taken of the sidewalks of Midvale which showed that nine miles within the city limits are paved and in good condition, which is 95 per cent of the total sidewalk mileage of the city. The work of repairing a few spots to bring the whole of the walks up to standard is expected to commence in the immediate future, after which a postal inspector will pass on the quality of the thoroughfares. Asks Plain Addresses Postmaster Goff is particularly anxious that all house numbers be in good position and in good condition at the time of the inspection. Some of them, he said, have been painted over and householders are asked to see that they are made plainly visible. Others, he said, are in rather poor condition. and these may be replaced, free of charge, by application made to the city recorder. The council members and Mayor Porter are rather proud of the new -street signs, and have made an appeal to the citizens of Midvale, espe:ially to the youngsters, to refrain from mutilating them in any manner, such as using them for targets, or making climbing poles of the pipes supporting the signs. Offenders, they say, will be prosecuted. Before the visit of the inspector of the mails it is hoped that each home ()Wiler or tenant will procure a suitable mail box and place it in proper position so that there may be no delay in commencing the delivery system. Many applications have been received at the local postoffice for application blanks by men who desire the position of mail carrier. It is expected that at least two will be employed. To Visit Reservoir It was also decided at the city council meeting that the mayor and members of the council would make a visit, together with the watermaster and engineer, to the city's reservoir east of Sandy on Thursday, for the purpose of preliminary work in connection with the enlargement of the water container. It now has a capacity of 200,000 gallons, and it is expected that it will be enlarged to .contain 700,000 gallons. Mayor Porter stated that figures are practically completed on the project and that work will be under way within two weeks. · Mrs. H. C. Aylett and Mrs. C. I. Goff attended the program given in Draper Monday evening by the Draper ward Relief society. The evening program featured the annual day exercises that were held in other wards on Tuesday afternoon. of Axident-Ax In the spring a young man's fancy often turns to thoughts of a vacation within a few months. And with the thoughts of summer come thoughts of a vacation in cool. ~hadv spots where summer is a blissful place. If one would take a vacation to Alaska, without waiting for summer to come and without the expense incidental to most vacation, that one need but get hold of a copy of the AxidentAx for March, which has just come off the press of the Midvale Journal. This is the monthly magazine of the United States Smelting Refining and Mining company and its affiliations, and is edited by Edgar M. Ledyard. Many Contributors Contributions to this magazine are made by employes of the company in various parts of the United States and Mexico, and the current volume is devoted exclusively to Alaskan conditions, customs and scenery and operations of the company in the territory. It is also profusely illustrated with photographs of that land which is so dear to the heart of the man who has traveled there. The midnight sun, Juneau, the capital city built on a steep, rugged timbered mountain; the silver frosted trees in inland Fairbanks; scenes of airplane exploration of that far off north; the fish docks t Ketchikan in southern Alaska, with the snowcapped mountains in t e background; Mt. McKinley, that rna estic hump on the back of Mother E rth which enjoys the distinction of li ing the highest peak in America; whaling parties, gold stampeders, modern mining methods and beautiful schools and residential streets, are only a few of the photographs that enthrall the holder of the magaizne. Stories Are Allu ng Stories of that froze portion of the country which cost he pioneers so much hardship and so many lives; of the Eskimos, the seals, the various industries of the locality, the history, topography and traditio of the land; the huskies that pull sle es over the frozen wastes between J>!)sts of civilization; the placer fi Ids, the old towns and the new cltie , records of explorations and the romance o:t: the old timers form a portion of the alluring reading between the vers. "Fortunate, indeed, are the employes of the United States Smelter," said one who had the opportunity of looking over the issue, "for they have at their command a vacation for the reading, and fortunate re they who have friends employed the company, for they may be ab e to borrow a copy." CARD PARTY A SUCCESS There was a gratifying attendance at the Community ' club card party given last Saturday afternoon in Firemen's hall. Over fifty persons were present. Mrs. William Waters won high score and was awarded the permanent wave donated by Mrs. Hazel Richardson. Mrs. J. W. Farmer won second place. A general spirit of sociability and enjoyment prevailed. A good paved road leading- from the south city limits of Salt Lake beyond Ninth East street would be a decided benefit to the road system of the state, in the opinion of E. E. Howe, county commissioner of the road department. And he also sees a possibility of this ~:oad being constructed in the near future. "No one needs to see me on the proposed project," Mr. Howe said during the week. The country has grown almost like a city from State street to the mouths of the canyons and bevond the narrows Utah county is rapidly growing to the mountains. This condition will be accelerated if the Deer Creek project ever goes through." The commissioner made this statement after the legi8lature had passed the secondary road system bill and the state road commission began checking over the additions now contemplated. The continuation of Ninth East street through Draper to Amercan Fork is one of those projects. This road is expected to be built in <....:>operation with the state and county ruad departments. Salt Lake county has already appropriated $52,000 and is building the Ninth East street extension to Fortyeighth South street. If the state will consider the whole project as a unit, the commissioner continued, Salt Lake county will readily agree to a fiftyfifty proposition.

W. Jordan Mutuals Reorganized Sunday l UTAH STENOGRAPHERS AWAIT SPEED CONTEST . Judge James H. Woolf of Salt Lake Explains Long Delay of United States. Firemen's hall was crowded Wednesday when the members of the city council, Mayor Porter and a host of Legionnaires, together with their ladies and a number of visitors assembled to hear Judge James H. Woolf of Salt Lake City explain the World Cout:t. The occasion was the semi-monthly meeting of the Jordan Post No. 35, American Legion. The program was arranged by members of the post living in Draper, and, with the exception of Judge Woolf, all of the participants were from Draper. Members of the Draper junior high school presented a portion of a playlet to be given next week, and songs were rendered by the "Four Firecrackers," oth ' rwise kno\vn as the "Peewee" quartet, and a ladies' trio. Gilbert Rasmussen, Beth Sorensen, Gail Fitzgerald and Dan Smith entertained with an act entitled "Ye Good Old Days" and were dressed for the parts. Howard Taylor, Jack Williams, Howard Nichols and Jack McGuire, attired in costumes of the ~ailors, sang two numbers, with Thelma Bailey acting as accompanist for both acts. Luella Christiansen, Afton Argyle and Rebecca Nelsen sang an A and B number, with Ann Fitzgerald accompanying. One Reservation Key "Were it not for the fifth reservation placed upon the statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice of the League of Nations, otherwise known as the World Court," said Judge Woolf, "the United States probably would have become a member of that body long ago. Of if the other signatory nations had unconditionally accepted that reservation the same thing might have occurred." The speaker then went into the history of the World Court, telling how, after the United States had 'nitiated a move to that end in 1899, this nation was still one of the eight nations which have not accepted the conditions of the organizr.t!Jn. He 'llso told how the court was operated and how two United States repre<;entatives had been elected judges thereto. "There are now 55 nations belong-ing to the court," he continued. ''The court was organized and the constitution thereof first adopted by the council and the assembly of the LeagUe of Nations in December of 1920. The nations now belonging feel crippled, more or less, by the action ~f the United States in refraining (Continued on last page) Vienna Bakery Has Attractive Display E . A. Gildner, proprietor of the Vienna Bakery on North Main street, demonstrated his ability as a \vindow decorator when he put a display in his store typifying the spirit of St. Patrick's day. The color of the isle of Erin is manifested in many hues and attractive arrangements. Mr. Gildner has spent the past 22 years in Midvale and bas often been the recipient of compliments on the attractiveness of his displays. He also holds prizes won for that art in other sections of the country. The baker, if we may believe in signs, is not downhearted nor depressed, for, in the midst of his window display is a sign which reads: "When the whole blamed world seems gone to pot, And business is one bum. A two-cent grin and a lifted chin Help some, my boy, help some." MIDVALE BAKING FIRM UNDERGOES CHANGE The Liberty Baking company is the name chosen by Leo Lewis and M. J. DeRyke who have formed a partnership to operate the business formerly owned by Mr. Lewis and known as the Electric Home Bakery, on Main street. The combination of the efforts of the two men is exp~cted to increase both the volume of the business and the variety of products. Mr. DeRyke comes to Midvale from Salt Lake where he operated the Liberty Bakery. One new line which the firm will produce is Sonny Boy bread, a name copyrighted and given to a Midvale product. In order to meet the expected demand for this bread a new 180-loaf oven has been installed. The partners expect to continue serving lunches as well as handling a full line of bakery goods. TENNIS TOURNAMENT All young men between the ages of 18 and 23 and who reside in the Midvale Second ward are urged to sign up for the "M" Men tennis tournament. This should be done before Monday, in the Vincent Drug company. |
