The secret: Jack visited the tomb of Isaac Walton at South Hampton, England a few years ago and rubbed his hands over the bronze plate. Now he has to fight the fish to keep them off his hook. Dr. E.

AT HOME Natal Events of July July Fourth The month of July appears to have been of peculiar significance in the securing of freedom from oppression for certain religious and political factions, with three dates standing out prominently July 4th, 14th and 24th. July 4th, 1776, marks the date when the colonists declared their independence from the yoke of Great Britain and established an independent nation, the security of which was established thru the Revolutionary war. July Fourteenth . July 14, 1789 marks the French revolution and what literally was the beginning of freedom for the Jewish people. For years confined to ghettos thru persecution from a public which did not understand the sons of Israel, they emerged during the French revolution and took their place in the world on invitation from the victorious revolutionists. July Twenty-Fourt- h July 21th is well known tbruout Utah and other western states as Mormon or Pioneer day. It marks the discovery of a fertile valley wherein the Latter Day Saints established their homes, entered upon the cultivation of lands, and be;;.m business -- truly the clay when they left behind the persecutions of the east with a geographical barrier and entered the land where their belief was to flourish unmolested. Natal Events a a each BALLGAME, WRESTLING MATCH AND BIG DANCE ARE ON THE PROGRAM The Pioneer day celebration in Helper Monday, July 24 will be even bigger and better than was at first planned. The parade will form at the city Welcoming arch and march north on Main street promptly at 10 a.m., following the reg ular route to the city park. A bicycle race will be run from Helper to the Midway grocery at Spring Glen, with first, second and third prizes each for boys and girls entering. Six floats are planning to enter the parade, sports events, includ with fun ing a tug of war in the afternoon at the city park for all. It will be a great day. The day will start with a parade at 10 a.m., in which all organisations have been publicly invited to participate. The parade will disband at Helper city park where visiting, merry making and sports events will be held, with families enjoying a picnic luncheon at noon. AMERICAN LEGION JUNIOR BASEBALL GAME In the afternoon there will be a regulation baseball game between the Price and Helper American Legion junior baseball teams as a part of the season playoff series. WRESTLING MATCH AT LIBERTY HALL In the evening there will be a three-evewrestling match at Liberty hall, staged by Frank Hicks of Midvale, but well known to many thru years of residence in this vicinity and located in business at Scofield until 1922. The main event will be a go between Del Kunkel, a Utah boy hplding the A. A. W. U. state championship and the Intermountain middleweight championship, versus Joe Manning of Dallas, Texas, holder of the southern states championship in the welterweight division. This will be for two falls out of three in 90 minutes. The management guarantees these bouts to be on the level, and the balance of the card is contained in an advertisement on page eight. DANCE AT RAINBOW GARDENS In the evening, following the wrestling match, there will be a public dance at Rainbow Gardens, and all plans are being made to entertain one of the largest gatherings in years. Danny's Rainbow orchestra is planning an especially good arrangement of music for the occasion and a good time is assured all who attend. The entire day will be just one splendid big cejebration, commemorating the discovery of the great Salt Lake valley by the pioneers, with not too much excitement, but with ample varied entertainment planned to amuse all. nt Helper Heads State League By virtue of defeating the Royal Bakers here last Sunday in two 3 and straight games, the Helper ball team maintained its position at the top of the league for the second half of the season with a percentage of 1000 four games won and none lost. Both games were wildly played, with batters hitting the pitched balls at will, and the placarding of Jackson as pitching another two games proved a fizzle, with Jackson holding down the mound for four innings. Helper gets , another home-lo- t game next Sunday with the Hol-suBakers coming down from Salt Lake to try their luck at defeating the Miners. This game also will be a doubleheader. 13-1- 2, 15-1- .

Gets Millions ,On Birthday - iV Business Hours May Be Set by the City Council Several business men of Helper met with members of the city council Monday evening to discuss possibility of the city regulating the closing hours of business thru the city business licensing system. This method, if adopted, would call for the issuance of business licenses which would permit merchants to remain open such hours as they wished by the payment of additional fees for night and Sunday operation. It is said the system would bo legal, and it is understood will be further discussed at the next meeting of the council. Ringing of the city police bell and the ringing of bells and toot-in,of whistles in the local railroad yards when people are trying to get a nights rest also came in for a full measure of discussion.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Present County Officers Handling Funds Properly Ogden Auditing Concern in Report to State Charges Former Carbon County Board of Commissioners with Disregard of the State Budget Laws Other Irregularities Cited in Report Which Shows Rubber Stamp Was Used by the Auditors Office Sheriff Accepts Notes for Fines Many Journal readers will remember when this publication on December 15, 1932, charged the old board of county commissioners with improper handling of county funds, and was the only publication in Carbon county, or the state for that matter, to present to its readers the true facts that the commissioners were juggling funds around to suit their own convenience and with a certain disregard for the state laws. Other publications were discreetly silent on the matter. Now, seven months later, the Wayne E. Mayhew Auditing com- pany's report to the state, verifying the charges made by The Journal last year, are made public. The old board of county commissioners did mishandle certain of the county's funds.
