Show Microfilminq Corp Pierpont Ave 141 Marginal Meandering By D. S.W. If you want to see a beautiful sight, just sashay over to Beaver e City public square and take a at the beautiful rose garden in the area immediately immediately west of the Library. Some of the look-se- most gorgeous roses you ever saw will be found there. It is a sight you won't soon forget and one that you will be proud to show visiting relatives and friends and to write 'them and others about. This beautiful spot is a project of the Beaver Women s Study club and was set up in 1956 as a Beaver Centennial Memorial Rose Garden, with contributions from all those who cared to do so in memory of some loved one. All the roses planted appear to have been wisely selected. Perhaps not until now, however, has this beautiful spot come n into its own glory and this has been accomplished almost overnight! We use the term "overnight" advisedly. It was Tuesday morning of this week when this editor-ma- n passed the spot at 6:30 and discovered two loyal members of the Study club, appropriately clad for the morning air and busily engaged in weeding activities. Likewise Wednesday morning, when those two, Mrs. S. Taylor Farnsworth and Mrs. E. S. soon were joined by Mrs. Caroline Smith. We have learned since that more members and others assisted at later periods of botfi days and on Monday, including Mrs. W. W. Farrer, Mrs. Alpha Stapley, Mrs. Oscar Larson, Mrs. Dennis White, and Mrs. Wesley full-blow- Farrer. The result: a beautiful setting of choice roses in all the radiant spendor of roses at their best! And what was this editor man doing up and out at such an hour? That's easy! He was on his way to the printshop to turn on the "juice" so that the metal would be a little earlig ready for er than would otherwise be the case, the short walk makes for a pleasant constitutional, too, and it gives us an opportunity to get over the mail earlier thanks to the with which Postmaster speed "Dick" Manzione and his staff get the mail distributed into the boxes, a job pretty well accomplished by 7 a.m.! type-settin- The members of The Press staff were the recipients a few days ago of an armful of very fine roasting ears, the appreciated kind gesture of Howard R. Lowe, Beaver High school music director, and his good 'wife, who have one of the most d luxurient and gardens in the Beaver area. We think we never have seen nicer ears of corn, with nary a worm in the lot, if your please, which is quite something! We are confident we bespeak the appreciation also of others who were remembered by the Lowes in this nice gesture toward friends who are not fortunate enough to have gardens! best-tende- Received word this week that S. Carlton, former Milford News and Beaver Press publisher now living in Orange, Calif. (225 East Rose Ave.) recently suffered a broken hip. He underwent surgery and a pin was placed in the injured hip, and after H days in the hospital he is recuperating satisfactorily. His daughter Fanny is caring for him and Mrs. Walter Carlton spent 10 days there,. All the Beaver County friends of Mr. Carlton wish him a speedy recovery, and are looking forward to again greeting him when he makes his next trip to Utah. Karl Deer Hunt Starts Saturday for Archers Utah's annual archery deer season begins Saturday, Sept. 5, with the pre season sale of permits for this hunt indicating the season will see another increase in the bow and arrow hunters afield this year as has been the case in each of the past several seasons. The Department of Fish and Game said more than 6,000 permit holders are expected to find good hunting during the season ending Sept. 20, and during which only properly licensed bow and arrow hunters are permitted to take deer. Popular hunting areas will include the Beaver and Uinta Mountains, though the entire state is open for this season. Spokesmen said success for this hunt should be above 10"c, as has been the case for several years. TO ATTEND SONAR SCHOOL Cullen R.

Located at the mouth of Minersville canyon, the success of this project culminates months of setbacks and disappointments in their attempt to find water to suffice the growing needs of the community. Over- the past years, many residents of the upper edge of town have been without water in their homes during certain hours of the day. To help remedy this situation, townspeople have been restricted in' their use of water the past few weeks even though all homes are equipped with water meters, The pump in use is a booster unit which will mix 200 gallons of well water with canyon water according to meters on each source to meet state requirements, and will boost the water over the mountain into storage tanks located southeast of town. Two other unsuccessful attempts at getting water by drilling cost $7200. the town approximately However, this has been paid with revenue from the metered water. The project now completed will cost approximately $10,000, with $400 a year to be paid to the power company to meet demand charges. The new water supply has not yet been mixed with the regular supply; but is being pumped to remove all impurities and has been proved successful in that it was in action steadily for five days and produced at a rate of 800 gallons per minute, with a draw-dow- n of only 22 feet. Town Board President Albrecht stated, "We feel this a something Minersville has needed for a long time and is a worthwhile project in that it will furnish the additional water needed for culinary purposes as well as help with the cemetery beautification project."
