How we regret our complaints about the frost and cold r,Lin of a few months ago. But during this heat there is one consolation for us here in Midvale. With nature furnishing cool shade, spacious green l~wns and open spaces where the wind can temper the ardor of the s~mmer sun, and the wonderful evening breeze from the ntlarly canyons, making the nights always cool, we are indeed fortunate. .

But why and how is our town different 'l Aren't all communities made up of human beings and isn't nature the same the world over? A little careful thought on this subject will convince one that we have all the necessary materials here to create- a fine community-t hat our town is not different. Priced lower than any other six on the market but one, a new line of Durant motor cars is Introduced by the western Durant factory. Built to sell under $900, delivered here, the Durant Standard 6-14 has been created to fill a very definite need in the low price six cylinder field in which, last year's sales, totaled more than 22 per cent of the entire output of the automobile industry. ''There are four models in the new line," said C. J. Rldd, local Durant dealer in discussing the announcement. "They include the large, quality 5-passenger sedan which seats six comfortably , sport roadster, coupe with rumble seat and business coupe.
