Show •By The Editor •FLASH! Walt Anderson, general chairman of Harvest Days, ~id today that the big event will be held here on August 19, 20 and 21. • Mrs. Horace Jenkins, local 1\-linute Women chairman, issues the following instructions concerning the salvage drive: "Everyone should save their tin cans. Remove labels and each end of the can; then flatten them. Take your flattened cans to your grocery store. Save all your waste fats and turn them in to your butcher regularly, at least <Once a month. Save all your old silk and nylon hosiery, also rags. Wash them and have them ready for pickup. Boy Scouts of the Midvale First and Second ward troops will gather the hosiery and rags." This seems to settle once and for all the question of what to do with your salvage material. • Midvale's most eligible bachelor has now joined the ranks of the benedicts. Our old friend, Milt Rigby, erstwhile local dentist and now First Lieut. M. T. Rigby, of the U. S. army, pulled a fast one on his friends here when he came over frljm Lowry Field in Colorado and was wed on June 4 to Miss S. Jeanne Nicholes of Salt Lake City. The newlyweds left immediately for Lowry field, and we read about it in last Sunday's society section. Here's hoping you all the luck and happiness in the world, Milt. Dear Mr. Barrows: For the past year and half, the Sentinel has been following me over the eastern part of the nation giving me all the hometown news and happenings as well as keeping me informed of so many of my old friends from Midvale and the surrounding towns. Your weekly publication has been a real morale builder and I look forward to it's coming each week, as it is one of the best friends a fellow away from home can have. Thanking you for your help and the weekly, I remain Sincerely yours, J. Lowell Young Midvale, Utah Dear Editor: Do you believe in giving praise where it is due? So do I, and I am therefore writing you to express my appreciation of at least one really good feature of The Sentinel. I refer to the page of interesting pictures connected with the war effort. They are in my estimation really high class as compared to the socalled comic strips. I may be just plain dumb, or perhaps even super dumb, or it may even be the lack of a sense of humor, but I think a more suitable name would be the "Sillies." If they had a moral to them or at least a trace of humor it would be pardonable to use them, but when you get such ridiculous stuff as "Superman" and the like, it makes ~ne wonder whether the creator of them should not be in the nut house. Here's hoping you never get so destitute for worthwhile material that you have to come down to silly strips. E. 0. Ottley A Publication Devoted to the Welfare and Progress of the Jordan Valley MIDVALE, Salt Lake County, UTAH Volume 10-Number 25 "Old· Timers," War Veteran Speak at Kiwanis Meeting Pioneer experiences and a tale of moderon sea warfare were intermingled Monday night when three of this community's oldest residents, and a sailor direct from the south Pacific war theater were guests of the Midvale Kiwanis club at their regular weekly meeting. George T. Sharp, Thomas Forman, and Eric Oleen, pioneer citizens of Midvale, spoke of the early days in this community. Mr. Sharp, the oldest native son of Midvale, who was born here 77 years ago, said, "This is the best country in the world; if there is a more favored spot than the Salt Lake valley, I would like to see it." He recited a list of 35 of the first settlers in th' Midvale area. Mr. Forman, who has resided in this vicinity for 70 years, spoke of th~ building of the LDS tabernacle, started in 1865, when his father-in-law, Henry Grow, was chief architect of the structure. In contrast to the pioneer theme, Judd Peterson, quartermaster second class, United States navy, and son of Mayor and Mrs. L. E. Peterson of Sandy, gave a thrilling account of recent sea engagements in the Pacific. A veteran of eight battles against the Japanese, Quartermaster Peterson said that American marksmanship is far superior to the Japs', and is taking a terrific toll of enemy ships and planes. He described air power as the deadliest weapon today, and during the evenin~ answered all questions, not involving military secrets, that were asked by the clubmen. . The speakers were introduced by C. E. Matthews, chairman of the program committee. Lt.-Col. Kelvin H. Hunter of Fort Houston, Texas, and Brig. Crane of Payson, former members of the Midvale Kiwanis club, were present at the meeting, at which Howard Barrows, president, pre: sided. Soil Conservation District To Level Local Fann Land Parley P. Smith, chairman of the board of supervisors of the West Salt Lake County Soil Conservation District, announced today that the district had just completed a cooperative agreement with C. T. Arnoldus covering a complete leveling program for the Arnoldus farm. The district is endeavoring to encourage farmers to level their farms and adjust their irrigation systems in order to conserve water and increase crop production. The Arnoldus farm was in a very rundown condition; past irrigation practices had eroded the top soil, producing gullies which were present over the entire farm. The district loaned Mr. Arnoldus heavy power equipment to terrace and grade his farm in such a manner that he is now able to completely control his water application, thereby decreasing his labor costs and the amount of water necessary to completely irrig:lte his farm. Mr. Arnoldus says he has been trying for several years to get his land in condition in order to control his irrigation water so he would not have j:o work himself to death and at the same time have his farm washed away. Under his new setup, his irrigation problems are greatly simplified. Five terraces, 40 feet wide and 400 feet long, are constructed on a one per cent grade so that irrigating problems are reduced to a minimum. Mr. Arnoldus intends to plant these terraces to wvar crops while the remainder of his farm will be planted to an orchard, placed on the contour, and pasture. Mr. Smith also stated an agreement had been entered into with Elmer and John Wood to demonstrate the value of strip cropping and stubble mulching on dry farm lands. The Wood brothers have a 225-acre piece of dry farm land on which they are trying thes e practices. One-half of the field will be handled in the usual manner while the other half will be stubble-mulched. This practice leaves most of the stubble on or near the surface to serve as a protection against winds and rain. Very favorable results have been obtained from this practice in the Tremonton section where farmers have been using it for several years. Farmers interested and needing assistance on this type of work are urged to get in touch with one of the members of the board of supervisors in ·the West Salt Lake County Soil Conservation District, Mr. Smith said. t~Production for Victory" to Keynote 1943 Utah Fair News From The RATION FRONT The ninth annual convention of the Associated garden clubs will be held at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City, Sunday, June 20, and several members of the Mid-Flora garden club of Midvale, and the West Jordan Beautification club will be -in attendance.
