Show ( I Press Time By Georga The process of incorporating the Beaver County Industrial Development Company has hit a momentary snag and has not been completed as of this time (Tuesday afternoon) We expect, however that it will soon be corrected and that we will be able to proceed with the plans for County Development in the next few days. In response to a request by the Beaver Manufacturing Co., the City has agreed to renovate the old Opera House and make what repairs are necessary so it can be used as a warehouse. The roof is to be repaired and a new ceiling put up as well as closing in the windows and repairing the floor. The City has sufficient money to purchase the needed materials but the labor is to be done by volunteers. Now, if anyone has any question about what does a volunteer look like, I suggest you put on some old clothes and trot over to the old Opera house equipped with a shov hammer or a square-mout- h el. Then, after . doing anything you can find that looks like ought to be done you can go back home and take a good long look in the mirror and right' there you will find a volunteer. Back in the early part of the 1940s when I had a job working for uncle Whiskers, they had a song which had for lyrics, something about "The Hard Way." It went on to tell about how there might be any number of ways to do a job but in that branch of the service the only way that was right and acceptable was the hard way. That is about the best discription I can think of to describe these jobs which are to be done on a voluntary basis. The trouble is, what can a city such as ours do on any other basis? It would surely be nice to have money running out of both ears and never worry about hew much something is to cost but rather only whether it is good enough or not. Perhaps there will come a day when we will be in that position and will no longer have to ask folks to come and lend a hand after have their own chores done thyworse 'or yet, put off doing your own chores and help with a civic project first. Of course, Im not making any bets on it but if we are to have a better town with more opportunity for our kids, then we had best just keep right on doing it the hard way so we are sure it will be done. The National Guard has made a change in their schedule and have agreed to have a field day at the Opera House oh Saturday which should make a real hole in the job. If you have an hour or six any time though, come on over and lend a hand. While we're on the subject of doing things the "Hard Way", the Lions Club has nearly completed the golf course and hope to have it in shape ready for play on all nine holes by the first of April. There is very little work remaining to be done on the club house and only some final finishing up on the rest of the course. They are asking for work days each Saturday afternoon from now until the course opens to finish the job. Although there has been an area of missunderstanding and some hard feelings connected with that project, still Beaver is the only town in Southern Utah with a golf course and it hasn't even cost pennies compared to what it is going to be worth to this community. It may well be that some people would rather not have these improvements but would Just as soon go on as in the Past-The trouble with that is that the bigger cities are unable to take care of the youngsters as they used to do. Anymore, if you want to see real poverty and heartache, the best place to look is in the heart of the big towns. By building up our own area to take care of our own growth we are only meeting our own responsibilities.. The old Opera House is one of the few remaining landmarks of pioneer Beaver. There will be some very small alterations needed to make it suitable for its new role as a warehouse. After it has served it's new role it will be available for another industry which is looking for a new home. It appears to me that this repair program is on-of the best things I have seen happen in my short time here in Beaver. I hope that you agree and will come and help so that the Job can be completed in record tlme and we will not only have a new facility employing additional people here but we will save this old ! s City Council Names Philo Boyter as New City Manager At the close of the regular first of the month meeting of the Beaver City Council, Mayor Easton vread four applications for the position of City Manager. After .discussing the merits of the various applicants it was decided that they would hold a special meeting at 1 p.m. on "Uncle Copy 10c $3.00 a Year in Beaver County, Other, KS $4.00 School Plans Special Class for 10th Graders Tuesday and ask Philo Boyter if he would take the job. Mr. Boyter accepted at that time. lie' Many other things were discussed at the meeting including the proposed seating facility at the swimming pool. The BPW has agreed to furnish the material for the job if the city will supply the labor. The Council agreed to do this so we can expect to have a spectator section at the swimming pool this summer. It was reported b-- te""" r that licenses sold for 79 male dogs and one female. This seems a slightly impossible ratio but that is what the recorder reported. He also said that under the ordinance, it is a misdameanor to fail to license or to a dog.

In Runaway Accident And Parents Other interested persons are invited Purposeful, productive work has been the primary factor which has contributed to Amer ica's economic might. This was the case in the days of the pioneers. It is a truism today. Ie will probably always be so. Job selection for young people at present is a very complicated and complex problem. In the days of the pioneers, it was relatively simple as most jobs were tied closely to the soil. While educational programs have made great progress in some areas, many of our procedures in aiding young people (and parents) to make wise vocational choices are still closely associated with those of the horse and buggy days. Positive student attitudes toward occupational goals appears to be a significant factor in improving scholarship and lessening absenteeism in our high school. Changing occupational goals by high school students is not serious. Aimless wandering without giving the problem thoughtful consideration is serious. It is costly in terms of human erosion frustration, deIt spair, and discouragement! is costly dollarwise! All secondary students are required to take certain courses, yet many of their courses are tlectives. They should make wise use of the specialized Elective courses available to them especially during their last two j ears. This suggestion has been by Dr. recently emphasized James B. Conant and others. As an aid to students and parents in their discussions on job selection and training, we here at the Beaver High School are beginning once again an information program for all the 10th graders and their parents which will be taught by Mr. Lee Lasater (Counselor at Beaver High School). The program d consists of eight stories entitled "You and your Job." The primary purpose for presenting these discussions is to acquaint your students and you with some of the many, present-da- y problems confronting young people in job selection and training. The job range underconsideration is the entire spectrum of occupational classifications from unskilled to highly skilled. Goals: 1. More realistic planning on the part of tenth graders with respect to their life's work and elective classes in high school. 2. More realistic selection of specialized courses in the 11th and 12th grades will make a practical contribution to the development of skills, abilities and understandings in terms of work preparation or college en-try. Around the Halls Of Beaver High The main interest last week was the Round Robin played in Dixie. Beaver played and seemed to have luck against them from the beginning. In the final score Dixie led by 21 points over the Beavers. Kanab and Milford played with Kanab coming out on top. In the playoff between Dixie and Kanab, Dixie won by a margin. They will go to the Class B tournament in 3rd place from Region 10. In the playoff between Hurricane and Millard the Hurricane team won by 1 point. Hurricane will go to the tournament in first place with Millard in the second place spot. High scorer for Beaver was Hal Murdock with 37 points. Roger Cox and Donald Wilden were also high scoTers. We would like to congratulate our team and thank them for the fine job they have done. We also want to thank our fine cheerleaders: Susan Gillins, Kathy Watson and Vicky Griffiths; and our songleaders, Marilyn Whit and Marge Ann Brad-haWe want to thank our Jr. Varsity cheerleaders: Mclinda Gale, Marcia Edwards and Susie Black for the fine job they have done.

Kevin's sister, Iris Osborne, and children were visiting with the family and Kevin was catching the horse to give the children a ride. He slipped the rope that was around the horses neck around his wrist. Just as he was lifting one of the children up for a ride the dog bit the horse causing it to run. He was dragged all around the yard, through ditches and finally through a pile of poles where the half-incrope caught and broke. The family rushed him to the Milford Hospital where his injuries were listed as a fractured wrist, head lacerations entire body skinned, bruised and cut. The family feels most grateful that his injuries were not more severe considering the dis tance he was dragged. Jaum WithMarr BRICK MAKERS OF BEAVER It would be time now to begin building the kiln. The adobes row on were stacked edge-wisrow, higher and higher, spaced so that narrow are running lengthwise and across. On the ground level three arches or tunnels were built. They were about 8 or 9 brick high and ran through the entire length of the kiln. Here is where the firing took place. Plenty of good pine and cedar wood had been hauled from the mountains before hand and was piled and ready for use. It usually took about 50 cords of wood to burn 100,000 brick. Coal was not in use in Beaver at that time. Many of the younger generation had no idea of what coal looked like unless by chance they visited the village blacksmith. He was the only man who Beaver Stake Relief burned it.
