Show R€€-ffiRRHS * • By The Editor ·-·-·-•-·-·-·- THE MIDVALE · · - ··- · - · - D -·-·-··!• We doubt if there is any com- munity of its size that can boast of as many beautiful and colorful roses, as Midvale. A tour of the city's residential sections reveals that thousands of these gorgeous bloom are in their full glory. Resi·dents of :Midvale can well be proud of their rose bushes, and Portland, Oregon, had better look out for her title of "Rose City.'' We have them beat-per capita. • Joe Ruby is erecting a finelooking business building oo. North Main, which is a great improvement to our rapidly-improving business section. The structure is or" fancy brick and cement c6n- struction, and shows the results of fine workmanship. Just what he intends to do with the building, is not known at present. • Honore Stagg reports that she has sustained a badly-sprained ankle as the result of being hit by a young bicyclist. She was returning home from the Darwin Rasmussen funeral Tuesday afternoon, when the accident occurred. X-rays had to be taken, and Miss Stagg is pretty darn sore about the way some kids travel like heilbent-f,Jr-election on their bikes downtown, with no thought for the life or limb of lowly pedestrians. • Two youthful desperados, who .allegedly robbed Jack's Lunch recently, and who later held 1,1p Mr Horace Burkinshaw, owner of the Burk Theaters, and relieved him of his wallet, have been apprehended by members of the county sheriff's force. No names were :revealed by the officers, but it is understood that these 2 , boys .started out to make their careers as criminals-but, as they are finding out--crime doesnt' pay. • Due to a misprint last week, we named, in a headline, the drivers' tests will be held July 7th. This should have been July 12th, the date given in the body of the story. So sorry, please; honorable headline get mixed up. <lN FATHER'S DAY On Father's day, This year I'd planned To be at home To clasp your hand; To tell you that I've tried to be The kind of son You'd want of me.
