Show Midvale, Utah, Thursday, May 22, 1930 . Vol. 6. No.4 . • COOPERATIVE VS. COMMENCEMENT CORPORATION IS AT·JORDAN HIGH MEETING TOPIC SET FOR FRIDAY • 0 The Gas Stream 1 • ,.. MIDVALE WINS FIELD DAY MEET Midvale was host Thursday to more than 1500 school children of the Jordan district who attended the annual field day of the district, held on the Midvale Junior high school campus. It has been the custom in past years to hold field day at the Jordan · high school. This year, however, considerable work Is being done on the high school campus, making It impossible to use the lawns and athletic · flld for any events, and the event was held in Midvale. The day's program began at 9:30 ,. a. m. with the assembling of the various schools at the Junior high school. At 10 o'clock the different school bands formed in line and paraded to the business section of the city, marching to the end of the pavement on North Main street, thence counter marching to the intersection of Main and Center street, where the combined bands of more than 250 played two selections, "First Parade Mareh" and "The Doubler," under the direction of Emery G. Epperson, supervisor of music at the Jordan high school. ln the line of march was the Jordan high' school band, with red and gray sweaters and caps, the Draper Junior high band, with blue and white caps and blue ties; West Jordan Junior high band, with very showy uniforms of white caps and trousP.rs and red shoulder capes; Union and Riverton Junior high bands with caps and sashes of the school colors, and last in the line was the Midvale Junior high band, composed of very small boys and girls, none of whom have reached their teens. Following the concert of the combined bands, the order of march was resumed and the march continued to the Junior high school. At 12 o'clock the bands again assembled at the First ward chapel, where they played one or two numbers and were addressed by members of the board of education. At 12:30 the junior track events • were begun. Midvale made ~gh score with a total of 105 pomts; Dra~r was second with 93 points, and Sandy third with 92 points. 0MANY GRADUATE 1 ~-~~~~~~~~~ JUST LIKE A~A~~LIH J3ROOK, 1HEY COME AND <bO-- J. R. Rawlins Urges U:1:o·1 of Graduating Class Will Hear Rev. Local Poultrymen. Dr. J. H. Baird. The choice of . incorporat~on or fo~in~ a cooperative m~rketmg organ1zat1on was the mam business taken up at the meeting of the Midvale Poultry association held Tuesday night in the Midvale Junior high school. A large audience was in attendance and considerable interest was shown in the many points that were discussed. Harry Grass presided at the meeting. After the body had about reached an agreement to incorporate, J. R. Rawlins, of Draper, took the floor and explained the advantages <?f a cooperative. Mr. Rawlins was formerly a director of the state association, and is recognized as one of the leadlng poultrymen of the state. "In forming a cooperative," said Mr. Rawlins, "you will get the benefits of corporate privileges without many of the handicaps. fYtohu mt aty, under the present laws o e s a e, form the cooperative without being forced to issue any capital stock, nor pay for any, inasmuch as the organ!zation \vill not be of a. speculative nature. The profits d enve d f rom sa1es made through a cooperative are enjoyed by the individual members, according to their individual sales, and a cooperative does not endeavor to pay dividends. Ellmlnate Bad Features "A cooperative may conduct its business affairs, deal with the transportation cornpanies and other firms, without risking the individual assets ofthe members, just as a corporation can. In addition, the cost of in corporating and the paying of corporate taxes is eliminated." After some discussion of the question it was decided that a committee should investigate the cooperative form of organizing and report back its findings at the next meeting, when definite action would be taken. President Harry Grass gave a report of a series of visits made by three members of the association to plants in American ForkM, Rivertond, Salt Lake City, Logan, organ an Payson. The American Fork plant, he explained, was erected at a cost of $12:000 and handles 2200 cases of eggs per week. It is capable of holdIng 710 tons of feed and has a capacIty of 5000 cases of eggs weekly. The handling charge at this plant is 84 cents per case, and the pay roll contains the names of thirty-eight employes. They maintain three motor trucks and fifty per cent of the eggs handled are picked up from the (Continued on another page) Weekly-Price 5 Cents dress to the graduates.

Hart urged the members of that body, as well as all of the citizens of Midvale ,to stand back of the boys in the local baseball league, sponsored by the American Legion. "The Legion," said Mr. Hart, "has appropriated $100,000 this year to carry on activities among the boys' baseball teams. The winning team of the state will go to Denver, all expenses paid, to play in the divisional series. They will not just be handed tickets and told to go, but will be provided with lower berth accommodations and given an allowance for meals enroute. "The winners of the divisional games will meet other divisional champs and the national winners will be provided with transportation, expenses and tickets to the next World's series games. "It is not only to make good baseball players that this event is being conducted," Mr. Hart explained, "but it will make better Americans of them, and if we can do our bit toward bringing up better citizens, we are doing a lot." Midvale Junior Band Broadcasts at KSL The Midvale Junior band, new uniforms and all, went to the broadcasting station KSL in Salt Lake last Saturday, and, under the leadership of Mr. C. W.

All the members of the band are under 12 years of age, and none of them had any musical training until the last term of school commenced, when Mr. Barton took them in charge. It is now Midvale's boast that this is the best junior band in the district, and Mr. Barton has predicted, if the boys are kept together during the summer months for practice, that he will have the best boys• band in the West.

Boys• Glee Club (State Contest Winners 1930): FRO~ SCHOOLS OF A complete alteration in the Midvale branch of the Safeway Stores has taken place during the past week and, while occupying no more floor space, can, under the new arrangement, carry a larger stock of merchandise than was heretofore possible, and can distribute it to customers to better advantage, according to Z. Brown, manager of the institution. One of the attractive features of the new arrangement is an entirely new counter, show case and refrigerator plant for the meat division which, said Mr. Brown, is operated as a union market. A large electrical icing plant has been installed which maintains a constant temperature of from 34 to 36 degrees, operated automatically. Thus, the fresh meats hanging in the roomy compartment are constantly kept fresh and wholesome. Separate compartments, accessible from the outside, are utilized for butter, cheeses, etc. The lighting syGtem in the building has also undergone a change. New drops with attractive shades to diffuse the light, add greatly to the appearance of the place and a thorough renovation, including a rt'-varnishing of the counters, lends an atmosphere of a new store. "It is our purpose," said Mr. Brown, "to employ local men and boys for our organization, and offer them a chance to forge ahead in the b~siness of providing the people with food products at the best possible price and under the most mode::n methods. We have a considerable inv~-;tment here ,and it is our duty, as well as our· pleasure, to aid wherever we. can in lending assistance to any activity that will further the pro"p"rity of Midvale. We want the confidence of the local public, and are pu•ting forward our best efforts to acquire and maintain it." LIBRARY BOARD APPEALS IN DELINOUENT OOK RETURN An appeal has been sent out by the local library board, through Mrs. R. A. Pallanch, chairman, to all parents of children who have books due at the library, and to all others who have books that should be returned, to cooperate v.ith th~ library and get the books baclr to the shelves as soon as possible. The librarv hr~ hP.en tern· _porarily closed to put it ' "?.:::: in shape for vacation months. "Probably the hardest problem of the librarian,'' says Mrs. Pallanch, "is getting delinquent books returned. Cards are sent repeatedly, but many of the books remain in circulation. A person applying for the privileges. of the library promi.,es to comply W1th all the rules; on, of the most important of which is the prompt return of books. "If children fail to return the Moks on time, parents are usually responsible for the delay. Children should be taught to handle library books in a businesslike manner and to keep their promises of prompt returns, and we ask all patrons of the library to go through the books now in their homes and see if any should be in the library for the use of others. "If the people will cooperate with us we will adjust the fines, and endeavor to have the library open in good shape as quickly as possible." The Journal wishes to thank Coach A. A. Horne for his assistance in obtaining the results of the field events held in Midvale the past two weeks. Every available seat in the auditorium of the Midvale Junior high school was occupied at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening when the first number of the program prepared for the graduation exercises was begun. Sixtyseven students were presented by E. E. Greenwood, principal of the school, as having completed the prescribed studies. Many a laugh was had when the class prophecy was read by Louise Knowles. Many a memory was resurrected when the class history was recalled by Anna Jensen. Many an expression of appreciation was voiced when musical numbers were presented, and many a serious thought was indulged in when Judge George S. Baliff impressed upon the graduates their responsibilities in going from the school where they had received so much of their education. Following is the program: Music by school band, under the direction of C. W. Barton; invocation, President Heber J ..
