Welch is said to have entered the Fossatt grocery on North Main at a late hour Monday night, arousing the two Fossatt boys. They proceeded to aim a couple of guns at the alleged burglar and marched him down town where he was turned over to City Marshal C. A. Knobbs. A search revealed money, checks and other valuable material upon his person which the following morning was traced to the White Eagle service station, which was robbed the night before. Welch, who is a floater, probably will be tried on a second degree burglary charge.

This will enable the faculty and students to use these two rooms as an auditorium when occasion arises. This Business of Birthdays The editor over the end of the week clocked off another of those annual events known as birthdays calling to mind the fact that it had been a whole year since his last natal celebration and, by the same token, he was a year older. A funny thing these birth anniversaries. Here we are, complaining because we have had so many birthdays in the past and in the same breath devoutly hoping we will enjoy at least twice as many in the future. Birthdays they mark the passing of infancy and the approach of old age. They call to mind that past years have been wasted and bring forth a resolution to work just a little harder in the future.

If one considers the age of As was predicted last week, Helper's Pioneer day celebration Monday was one of the biggest and best public celebrations ever staged in the county, with thousands gathered at the city park during the day to enjoy the address by Bishop Byron Carter and participate in the sports events. The parade got under way at 10 o'clock, headed by Joe Lamone as marshal of the day, the National Colors, and followed by the Helper junior high school band under the direction of A. B. Caseman. Closely following was a series of floats entered by the youths section, womens auxiliaries, and mine locals of the National Miners union. First prize in the floats was awarded to the youths section; second place was awarded to the Kenilworth local; third place was accorded the Mutual local, while honorable mention was given to a small coal car entered by a number of miners children. 5000 In Parade The parade was one of the longest ever seen in this community and, including the marchers and those riding in automobiles, is estimated to have been comprised of close to 5000 people. A thousand or more joined this number at the city park to hear the address of welcome by Councilman M. O. Porter, representing the city of Helper and speaking on behalf of Mayor F. R. Porter who was unable to be present. Bishop Carter Speaks The main address of the day was rendered by Bishop Byron Carter of the Helper ward, who spoke on the colonization of Utah by Brigham Young and his followers and the hardships endured by the pioneers.

"This is a war for existence and a right to live as we are deserving, and we must override and ignore the lackeys, tools and hirelings oj the various agencies who will appear and seek to defeat our attempts at recovery. We should organize ourselves into a group of honest nation-lovin- g citizens to see that none of that propadan-d- a detrimental to our government is permitted to exist that our recovery may go forward unhampered. "Anyone who cannot honestly subscribe to this program is undesirable, for the recovery act has nothing to do with politics, religion or denomination. Send me your name to indicate you wish to support our government in this laudable effort toward recovery; in the very near future a meeting will be held and officers elected to head our local 'Loyalty to Our Nation' committee."

More County Road Work Planned At the meeting of the board of county commissioners in Price Friday evening of last week it was learned that an additional $10,000 for road work in Carbon county now is available. H. S. Kerr, chief engineer of the highway department, is to inspect the various projects this week and pass upon their merits. The first cars of Utah rock asphalt this week were unloaded in Spring canyon with which the highway between Spring Canyon and Standardville will be surfaced, according to County Commissioner C. R.

( PRICE FIVE CENTS As we go to press we learn that the city council last evening in regular session repealed Section 24S of the City of Helper revised ordinances prohibiting the sale of beverages containing more than of one per rent alcohol. Helper thus becomes the first town in the state to antcipate the action of the voters when they vote on At the same repeal of the dry amendment to the state constitution. time City Attorney Thorit Hatch was instructed to draw up an ordinance providing a license fee for all business establishments selling drinks containing as much as of one per rent alcohol. one-ha- lf one-ha- lf Durini the past week local concerns dealing in soft drinks and refreshments have been receiving from the treasury department of the internal revenue service form letters in which they are offered a special stamp which will allow them to sell 3.2 per cent beer without federal prosecution. The letter, which is signed by Ira N. Hinckley, collector, at Salt Lake City, states in part: "Upon receipt of the accompanying form and the remittance in the amount of $20 you will be issued a special stamp to sell 3.2 beer, without interference so far as the United States government is concerned." In so many words does the treasury department express its opinion and regard for Utah's state prohibition law forbidding the sale of beer and, strangely enough, it also expresses the opinion of thousands of others thruout the state. SHOULD REPEAL CITY ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCE We believe the members of the city council at this time could do no better than to repeal Helper city's ordinance restricting the sale of beer, and add another step to the lengthy stairway which must be built thru which to approach state repeal. The matter was brought up before the city council some little time ago but was sidestepped because it was believed such action would not show a proper respect for the state laws. The attitude of the United States government in offery ing to sell beer licenses to Utah dealers should leave the such it furnish with moral and the clear to city council courage as may be needed to repeal our unenforcible and unpopular city ordinance. pauh-vva- How Federal Reserve Bank Analyzes Business Status In the Twelfth District Following is an analysis of business and market conditions in the twelfth federal reserve district, as furnished by the Federal Reserve bank of San Francisco. It shows business as increase, while enjoying a seasonal or livestock below and conditions normal. somewhat are crop of district twelfth measures Seasonally adjusted industry and trade increased further during June, and in a number of cases widened their margin over corresponding levels in 1932. The number of industrial workers employed increased more than seasonally. Payrolls also increased, and by a proportionwork ately larger amount, indicating a reduction in part-timas well as in unemployment. Wholesale quotations for commodities important in this district shared in the continued advance in prices during June and the first half of July. Condition of crops and livestock did not change appreciably during June, remaining somewhat less favorable than a year earlier. Production estimates as of July 1 indicate that output of many of the district's crops will be larger this year than last, but since a number of the more important crops showed decreases it is probable that in the aggregate harvests will be somewhat smaller this year. Market prospects continued to improve as prices for many local products advanced further. Preliminary figures show a greater than seasonal increase in consumption of electric power in the district during June. California petroleum output was about the same in June as in May, but increased somewhat in the first three w eeks of July. Another marked rise in lumber production was recorded during June, accompanied by the largest volume of new orders in more than two years and a reduction in inventories at mills. Value of building and engineering contracts awarded in June approximated the average for earlier months in 1933. Activity at flour mills and at meat packing establishments fell off somewhat from relatively high levels. Department store sales declined by about the seasonal amount during June, but wholesale trade continued to increase. Inventories of both department stores and wholesalers expanded considerably during the month. Automobile registrations increased sharply, as they had during May and April. Intercoastal traffic continued to increase, approaching the levels of two years ago. Reserve bank credit extended to the twelfth district declined in the last few days of June, when most discounts for member banks were liquidated, and changed little during the first three weeks of July. The funds which made possible this deruction in borrowings came from local disbursements by the United States treasury in excess of collections. Demands for currency over the July 4 holiday were met by withdrawals from member bank reserve balances. There was little change in net demand deposits during this period, altho time deposits decreased somewhat and large amounts of government withdrawn. better-than-season- e |
