Cancer strikes one out of four, so in the next ten years, approximately 1.083 people will get cancer. Early detection will save one out of three of these people or about 361 persons. If the public would have regular examinations, one out of two could be saved or 541 people could be treated in time.

After a short social and a few private discussions among friends, a real feed, with the best steaks in the house done to perfection, were served to the group. Fire Chief Robert Lee introduced the officers of the Beaver Volunteer Department and expressed his appreciation for the help he has received from them. The balance of the evening was spent with members telling their own favorite stories. This party is the only pay these men receive for .their many donated hours of service fighting fires and trying to make Beaver a better place to live. Beaver City pays the volunteer Fire Department $20.00 per call for each fire that they go on. Originally the $20.00 was to pay for the cleaning of the .firemens' clothes after each fire but they have elected through the years to put this amount in a fund and have one good party for their "Firemans Pay." The Firemen, also through the years, have made donations to different betterment programs in Braver. Recently they donate over $200.00 to the purchase of tables and chairs for the Community Center.

By sponsoring, we mean that members of the Lions Club contacted local merchants and collected the needed money and also that the club members made the arraing-- , ments to have the broadcasts brought in. Local Merchants who contributed to this project are: The Ponderosa Cafe, D. E. Stapley, Phillips 66, Terry Motor, Mack Patterson, Beaver Branch Bank, Jack's Locker Plant, Beaver Cleaners, Beaver Variety Store, Lund Bros., Chase Murdock. The Beaver Drug, Lee's Style Shop, Beaver Home Furnishings Bradshaw Auto Parts, Anna-bell- 's Store, Sam's , Furniture and Appliance, Monarch BilBrooklawn liards, Merrill's, Creamery and The Elite Cafe. This is an excellent program in that it gives the High School students an opportunity to participate in an acual broadcasting experience and it also makes it possible for those who are unable to attend the games on y the road to enjoy a description. The merchants and theLions Club are deserving of a vote of thanks for making these broadcasts possible. play-bypla- Beaver First-Thir- d Wards Have Winners In Stake Quartet Festival The Beaver Stake Quarteti Festival was held in the Beaver Second Ward on Sunday evening, March 3rd, under the direction of Mrs. Lynnea Marshall, Minersville, Stake Music Director.

I don't want to be judged a "kicker" but I want them to wake up. We have one of the richest counties in the state. We have for our county seat the prettiest spot in Southern Utah, claiming more natural resours-es- , finer water, and the prettiest girls. In fact, we have everything to make us happy. The trouble is we are too contented, thus becoming selfish and We forget that other towns are forging ahead and keeping up with the times. Let us be progressive, pull together stop knocking and everybody boost for Beaver. I have noticed .the struggle you have had to keep your little paper afloat and the small encouragement you have received. Now it is not right. I have known of business men who have sent away for ordinary Job printing that can be done as well and as cheaply in your office as elsewhere. d. Let us support home institutions and encourage enterprise. In other words, help each other, thus helping ourselves. By working In harmony, we can make this the brightest and most prosperous little city in Utah, for nature has done everys, thing for us. Now, brother let's begin at once to work like Beavers and boost for Beaver. Lay aside all petty jealousies we should have of each other. We should all lend ' your paper our support, help encourage you In your efforts, for a good, live paper can do more toward building up a town than any thing else. Subscribe for it, read it and if we see anything in it that we don't like, say so to the Editor not to an outsider. If you know of anything that would be of interest or a benefit to the public, send it in and let us all read it Now as I intend to air my ideas on this line from time to time in your valuable paper, I will close trusting that what I have said has offeuded no one and that they will think it over. Bea-verite- Yours for Beaver, Subscriber What other people thought, printed next week. |
