Show Microfilming Ccrp 141 Pierpcnt Ave Press Time City Council Holds By George Special Meeting on The Race Meet reminded me I have been living in Braver for just a year now. Looking back, we find that we have made a lo of friends (we hope not too many enemies) and we have certainly been abl; to learn a lot. Take the Race Meet and the 24th of July Parade as examples In the past, I always knew that it was a lot of work to put together the floats and riders etc., for such a parade, but I never gave much thought as to how it was done or who did the work. This year I was privileged to know many of the people who did the work and can better appreciate the hours of free time as well as the cost of materials which they gave in order to add to the Pioneer Day celebration. I certainly wish that we had the equipment so that we could have a picture of each of the entries as they certainly do deserve any praise that they receive. I had always believed that a race meet such as the one we had here on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday should; be a profit making proposition, but now I see that it is really a case of a whole lot of work which is donated by various organizations, mainly the Lions Club and the BPW, who do the work hoping to bring other people into our town and show them a good time while they are herei I have no estimate of the hours they gave in preparing for this meet but it must run into the thousands. All told, with the hours given in making floats, etc., for the parade and the preparation and management of the race meet it is hard to see where anyone in town failed to take part in this celebration. Yet, we have one small instance of someone who wasn't happy and showed it. On Saturday night, or early Sunday morning, somebody took a four wheel drive outfit and pushed over the power pole in front of Kenyon Grove and smashed the gate. Now, what is really hard to understand is "WHY", Mr. and Mrs. Ward don't make any money out of the dances. In fact, after they pay for the orchestra, they often wind up cleaning up and doing the rest of the work as a donation which they have been glad to make hoping to help add to the festivities. Why in heck would any misguided house-ap- e want to destroy the property and further discourage them from having the dances again next year? I sure don't krfow myself, but I'm sure glad that that type of idiot is in the minority and outnumbered by the people who want Beaver to be a good town both now and in the future. Water Problems that Dorothy and The Beaver City Council held meeting on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. to discuss and try to find moans to combat the growing problem created by a shortage of water in the culinary system. Because of the shortage of irrigation water, many residents are having to water their lawns and gardens from the culinary system. This has caused the pressure in the city lines to fall to the point where many parts of town are almost without any water. In the past, engineering surveys have been conducted which have led to the following recommendations: Residents are requested not to use the culinary water for irrigation purposes between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. This includes any uses such as the watering of lawns and gardens. As this will allow for the use of this water during the cooler hours of the morning and evening, it should stop much of the loss through evaporation. Also, residents are asked to use a sprinkler on their watering hoses. This will help to maintain pressure in the system which is rapidly lost when hoses are left open to run without any restriction. A special request is made that everyone shut off the water when the fire siren blows. This could be very important and could mean the difference between a minor fire and a serious loss. a fipocial It was mentioned that, one way to get more water in the irrigation ditches would be to combine the water in two ditches each have and user use the water half as long and have twice as much water. This would have to be arranged for by the users of the water and then the city would have the Water Master make the necessary adjustments. If the users on two adjacent ditches would care to try this arangement, they should arrive at an agreement and make their wishes known at the city office.

Bernett, Director of Extension Services, and Ronald Neilsen, chairman of the State DHIA council, will present this award to Tony during the annual Da'ry Field Day at USU. Tony became supervisor of the Beaver Association in 1955 and has served continually since that time. The number of cows on test in the association has grown from 240 to 380 and has been as high as 500 during this time. Tony has been very helpful to members of the association in improving their herds. The average butterfat and milk production per cow in the association has increased continuously and is now 467 pounds of butterfat and 13,139 pounds of milk. This puts Beaver County third in the State in butterfat and second in milk production. They wiU travel to Logan to receive this award. He will be accompanied by his wife Pauline.

Majorettes and standard - bear- ers Held July 27th parade was very fine and there were many fine entries. Everyone agrees that a special vote of thanks should be extended to Nell Smith and her Cub Scout Band for it's voluntary participation, not only on the 24th, but also in the parade on the 4th of July. This Cub Scout Troop has really been "prepared" to add to parades that special something which every parade needs. Nell has worked with these boys for quite some time to get them ready. She not only had to work to get the music for them; she also has had to cheer the disillusioned, who just knew they weren't good enough, and to the give encouragement members who "just got tired". The band members are the Den No. 3 Cub Scouts wih Alan Cartwright as Den Chief. Other members are: Roger and Jeff Smith, Scott Hollingshead, Robert Ritchie, Bruce Lee, Ross Swindlehurst, Lynn Carter, Von Gillins and Craig Murdock. The Drum Majorettes are Patti Smith and Lanette Swindlehurst. Flag Bearers are Carolyn and Sandra Hollingshead and Mary Anra Esplin. A Great Big WELL DONE and THANKS to each one of you! !

State Dept. of Agriculture Reduces Bounties Upon the recommendation of the State Predatory Animal Committee, the Board of Agriculture reduced the bounty on coyotes from $4.00 to $2.00; and bounty on bobcats from $4.00 to $1.00, to become effective on aU animals killed after August 1, The reduction is caused by loss in revenue from taxes on sheep due to the decrease In sheep numbers, and a decrease in the amount of finance contributed by the Fish and Game Department. It Is their opinion that bobcats skinned will bring a good price In the next year, and coyote pelts would probably be worth Irom $5.00 to $7.00 each, which would encourage trappers to catch as many as possible.

Reporter Linda Griffith 4-- The College of Southern Utah, of learning, stands today as a glorious monument to its founding fathers, the people of Cedar City, devoted instructors, faithful students and all the people of Southern Utah who have been grateful and given generously. According to history, it is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the United States, havng been in existence for the past 66 years. Its great growth in academic offerings is amazing to one who remembers a humbler way of an earlier day. To gaze upon her array of magnificent buildings, the spacious and beautiful grounds, the many barns, sheds, gardens, fts thousands of acres of land, alloted to and expeimental plots and other extensive land holdings, one recognizes it as one of the best equipped schools in the West. In 1936, the Board of Trustees authorized the addition of upper division courses in agriculture. In 1939, all high school classes were discontinued; since that time, CSU has enrolled only students of collegiate standing. In 1949, the Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of Education with Elementary classes leading to, B.S. degree in that department. In 1949, the Air Force set up a two-yeReserve Officer Training Corps on the campus, which, in 1951, was enlarged to include one year of upper division work. In 1950, Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Thoriey, of Cedar City, presented the College a very fine buildwas an expression ing. This of appreciation for the influence the College had had on the lives of their five children, all of whom had graduated from this institution. There was one stipulation, that it become the home of the music department. In 1953, by action of the Board of Trustees, the name, ' College of Southern Utah", was officially given to the school which since 1913 had had no official title. The faculty too has kept pace with it's physical growth. Brilliant men have served as its Princilals or Directors and each has given some feature of finest quality which left a lasting influence on the nature and development of this popular school The College Alumni, many of whom hold important positions in Government, in the professions, in scientific research, in education and in business and industry, number into the thousands of men and women, scattered over almost the whole world. The over-a- ll picture of the College today is a brilliant one with promise for a still greater tomorrow. I will leave the cool green lawns the tall pines the schrubs and flowers while I take you with me to it's stirring and dramatic beginning. As I take a last look at the "Old Main', draped with ivy, steeped In the memory f golden years, and glowing with the pride and love light of a brave people, I come to realize ' How Beautiful Upon The Mountain Are Their Feet," every brick, stone and piece of timber is hallowed by thes touch of their sturdy hands. Every gentle breeze In the deep wooded canyons come down to whisper their names. Continued next week. a great institution AFB, 1963.
