THIS WEEK'S BEEF I have found, through a little research, that the town clock it merely really isn't broken needs a little attention occasionally. At the very most the old clock only looses about 10 a day. If someone minutes were assigned to take care of it daily we would have the chimes on the right hour. I understand that this used to be a duty of the local policeman I don't see why it isn't still. I will gladly give Gerald and Vernon a rope and a sythe (so they can cut their way around and pull themselves out of any chuckholes they may fall in) if they will resume their old responsibility of keeping Beaver City well timed.

AND THE WEEDS STILL STAND ON THE DITCHBANKS A couple of weeks ago I wrote a line on how "Old fumble foot," that's me, lost all of Dorothy's clothes while moving from Milford to Beaver. Well, seems as how all of our friends and relates have tooken pity on her having to run around in her bare neckidness and are send-hclothes to replace what I lost. Now these people apparently don't realize the sort of rags she is used too, they have fixed her up with a wardrobe which is so pretty that now she is thinking of making me walk on the other side of the street so that people won't feel sorry for her having such a raggedy looking old man. She surely thanks those people for their kindness, but I wonder, how am I supposed to keep her at home. We received a real nice letter from Mrs. Williams, the superintendent at the Beaver County Hospital, in response to Dorothy's story on her stay there. As soon as we can we will print it in the paper so that all you folks can sse what wonderful people we have working for us there. Sharon is home now, yep, they got her plumbing all fixed. Thsy were right, it was the furnaco. It always makes me feel better when they find the right department on these operations, I can't quite see it when they open up your gizzard just to check and see if something's wrong. I'm always afraid that if there wasn't, there will be. Get that Bonnie Gray, sha made an offer? Where was she at two o'clock this morning? I'll tell you, in bed, that's where. Now, this other bit. So the noisy little rascal hasn't got a name, so what, she hasn't got a personality either. So far all she does is eat, sleep and holler. It wouldn't be fair to name her on that basis would it? Personally, I'd rather wait and see what name fits her. Or more likely, what name she fits. All I can think of so far is Maria, for Maria Callas of the Met. Trouble is, Pinky has the volume but not the tone. Oh well, if Bonnie wants to worry, I guess she can, as Eddy says, "Goan ahead and do it, I don't care." er Alan and Jimmy and Susan are all very happy with their new friends at school. It's easy to tell when school kids have friends. If they aren't too popular, they come right home, if only fairly popular they are about an hour late. Last night Jim and Susan got home just in time for bed. Met about the nicest little girl in the world at the hospital in Milford while Sharon was there. Her name is Lewelyn Murdock. She lives here in Beaver, and was also there for an appendix plumbing job. When we brought Sharon home on Sunday night she, Lewelyn, told me she was coming home on Monday. I'm sure she is doing very well. (She was all over the place like a monkey, so there couldn't be much doubt as to her condition). there could be anything symbolic in that the State hooch store moved right across the street from the Press office?

Anon. $3 a Year To Junction Man A Piute County logger was killed instantly on his 33rd birthday anniversary on Wednesday at about 9 a. m. when he was run over by his own truck. The victim, Sherrcl Don Cloward, Junction, was driving along the Anderson Meadow road 20 miles east of Beaver the when truck's brakes apparently failed on a steep incline, Beaver County Sheriff, Lee R. Fillmore, reported. Mr. Cloward attempted to turn the truck into a bank tq stop, but when the truck hit the barrow pit, he was thrown from the cab and run over by the drive wheels, Sheriff Fillmore said. The truck continued up the bank, fell back onto the road on its left side and skidded another 75 feet before coming to rest. The body of the victim was found about 200 feet from the truck. Harry Wiles, operator of the paw-mi- ll at Junction where Mr. Cloward worked, said Mr. Cloward left with the truck at about 8:00 a. m. and when he failed to return, a m&n was sent to look for him. The truck is registered to the estate of Vern Rappleye, 242 East, 2nd North, Richfield. BEAVER, UTAH, Truck Highway DISTRICT GOVERNOR Tax Due VISIT BEAVER Roland V. Wise, District Director, Salt Lake City District Internal Revenue Service today reminded owners of trucks and buses that the Federal highway tax is due on August 31.

In addition! to the Federal highway tax which affects truck and bus owners, revenues from t,axos on motor fuels, tires, inner tubes, rubber and o'.h:r items are being funnebd into the highway fund. Highway use taxes on trucks and buses range from $81 to $180 annually for each vehicle subject to the tax. All trucks operating on public highways are subject to the tax if they meot certain unloaded weight and axle specifications and arc registered by state law. Federal tax return form 2290 necessary for filing, contains b listing of the specified tax to be paid on trucks according to the month the vehicle was pti! into oprration. Form 2290 als describes the tax to be paid by bus owners. For buses, the tax is based ot unloaded weight of the bus, plus 150 pounds for each unit of seating! capacity. This applies primarily to operators of intercity buses. Local transit systems are exempt from the tax under certain conditions. Details and information are available at local Internal Revenue offices. Tax Forms 2290 were mailed in June to those who filed highway tax returns last year. Copies of this form, as well as a helpful booklet on the tax( Publication No. 349, can be obtained from local Revenue Offices and from state motor bureau agen- The Lions Club of Beaver will welcome Darwin Woodbury, District Governor of 23-Lions International, which includes 24 clubs in Southern Utah.

Revenue collected from the highway use tax totaled $46.8 million in 1961 and $37.7 million in 1960. Increased enforcement efforts are planned to get fuller compliance with this tax law from truckers and bus operators. in 1961, counting proceeds from all of its revenue sources, received a total of $2.8 billion. The largest contributor to this fund were motor fuel taxes, which accounted for $2.3 billion. Annual accumulations in the highway trust fund since it was created in 1957 total $11 billion.

I became so absorbed in their histories that I took the name of David B. Adams and sat him down in the middle of Greenville where he didn't belong. Too late I discovered him so he had to stay for a week and there was nothing I could do about it except to bite my nails and wait. Today I am taking him back home to Adamsville where he does belong. It was his home town. He was it's founder and the town was named for him. His people respect and honor his memory. To keep my story straight, I will take the names of David Miller, David Reese, David Griffith, David James Williams and David James Willims Jr., David Davis, and Dave Atkin and place them securely in Greenville for there is where they want to be. It is their home. In Adamsville, there were David B. Adams, David C. Adams, David D. Reeset David, James Reese, David Pearce, David R. Pearce and Dave Heslington. According to history Adamsville was settled in 1862 by David B. Adams and three other families who built houses and commenced farming. It was not long before other settlers arrived from Iron, Garfield and Sevier Counties . . . They were principally engaged in farming and stock raising. The land was rich and productive. Water was secured from the Beaver River. There was only one church in Adamsville, namely the Latter-day Saints Church. Every- body attended regularly. They had a fully officered organization. There was one school held in the Church with an Heslingtons Enjoy California Visit CSU Calls for Football Players Mr. and Mrs. Mel Heslington have just returned from a two week visit to California and Mexico. After spending some time with their children, David and Jolcne who live near they accompanied some friends who were going to Mexico, and parked their car and trailer by the ocean front This was a pleasant experience for the Hcsling-ton- s. On their return to they visited with the Jim Idols (formerly of Beaver) who served them a delicious patio supper. Some of the things they did: Mel and David went to see some big league games such as the Dodgers, the Phillies, and the Angels. They were two of the 36,000 spectators there to watch the games. Later they went on a boat ride to Catalina Island. There were 1600 making the trip, "It was a wonderful sight," says Mrs. Heslington. They visited all the places of Interest going and coming and report having had a fine vacation. Some 50 to 60 football players are expected to report for the gridiron wars at College of Southern Utah Sept. 1 and 2, according to head coach Bruce Osborne. Suits will be issued, physicals taken and other procedures will occupy the time for the first two days. First practice will take place on Monday, Sept 3 at 8:30 a.m., said May-woo- a, May-woo- d, the Think ahead of your job: then nothing can keep the job ahead from reaching out for you.

Coach Osborne indicated that workouts will be held twide daily at 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. for the first two weeks and the sports fans in the area are invited to watch the sessions. . Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Greenwood were Mrs. Greenwood's two brothers, from Tehachapl, California, Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Anderson and children and Lester Anderson, also a son, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Greenwood and two children, of Richfield. The Andersons haven't seen their sister Lillian for a long time, so it was a happy reunion. To top the happy occasion, word came that a lovely baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Greenwood, born August 3rd In the Iron County Hospital average of 40 students. They were taught reading, writing and arithmetic. It had one store and a daily mail service, Sundays excepted. A. J. Ingram was the post master. There was a blacksmith, John Evans, who took care of the farmers needs. The Community furnished its own recreation. They had parties, dances, dramatics and a good choir. There were never any civil officers nor presiding authority other than the Bishop who acted as the official father of the community. David B. Adams was the first Bishop. The early settlers lived the religious life of all piooeers. Their first homes were 'dugouts' with part of the house being under the ground and part above . . . Light was furnished by tallow candles which they made themselves. Wood for fuel was hauled from the nearby canyons. In 1914, the population was 121 persons. It was in this same year that the Delta Land and Water Company came into Ad- amsville and was desirous of buying much of the farm land for a reservoir site. Many families sold out and moved away with, the exception of two or three families, Adamsville, by the stroke of a pen, became a ghost town. Some rejoiced and some were sorrowful. Adamsville has served a very distinct part in the history of Beaver County. Many fine and worthy people were born and reared there. They were patriotic in sending their young manhood to World War Ond and Two. From the beginning, it was the great desire and determination of these stout-heartpioneers that every child in the community be taught the principals of the Gospel and to have an education. And Heaven knows, they struggled to that end. Dear, gallant little Adamsville. They have given to their Country more fine scholars than any other little community that we know of, considering the population.
