Show ., vicrolilm jll Corp- - 4 Ave. pitrpont : PRESS TIME Bj Q rg You have no doubt heard the expression that something is rotten in Denmark, or perhaps that something is putrid in Peru. Those are both very apt expressions and convey a definate meaning. Something seems indeed to be somewhat less than fresh, in fact it is very close to putrid and it isn't in Denmark or Peru, but rather can be found right here in the US of A. For several years those of us who would take the time to listen have been told that it is the policy of the Federal Government to help certain parts of this country which suffer from cronic economic depression. We have heard that all sorts of goodies were in store for us if we would do various things and some of 'us have even gone so far as to try to do some of those things and put thdse communities into line for the promised goodies. To date the best explanation of the programs I've heard was given by a local man who, when told of a new plan to take up much time and effort with no visible means of betterment for the community said, "It loolfs to me as though the plan is to wear the people who will work to death and finally kill the growth of communities such as $3.00 a Year Single Copy lOe in Beaver County Otker $4.M THURSDAY, AUGUST BEAVER, UTAH, Wrnnrl War ,to Host Make Conference A -" ' I ' V V ' " sV r J r : ... te one-ma- ee SflT C0UJTY FRJ t s 1 of Ralph Pearson and Bob Nowers, Association welcome offer County Cattelmen,s an m Cattlemen from all parts of the state of Utah are expected in Beaver this Friday and Saturday for the summer convention of the Utah Cattlemons jjfj, l Sf it1- jt - - Starting at 7 a.m., there will a chuck wagon breakfast at Milford which will be followed from 9:30 until noon by a tour of the farming area on the Association.

First is the US Supreme Court decision that Counties such as Beaver County should have no representation in the bodies of the state. Knowing how fair and generous the people of the more populous northern part of the state are, I see no real need for fear that we will receive less attention or that needed but projects will be somehow I'd just feel a little better if there were someone sitting in the House of in Salt Lake who was there to represent Beaver CounI guess I'm just nervous. ty Then, some time ago, there was considerable talk of how the Federal government, from whence comes all things good, was entering the educational field and how they were fixing things so that the wealthiest county in the nation was to get lots of money toward education of their kids while counties like Beaver County wouldn't get as much as the time of day. There was some little stink raised at the time and we were finally told that the law had been rewritten so we had nothing to worry about. Not too long ago I received a news release from Senator Moss telling me that Beaver County School District would receive some $11,000 under Title I of the Federal Aid to Education Law and then last night I was told by our local Superintendent of Schools that we would get what old Mother Hubbard found in her cupboard, namely nothing. I don't object to not getting any of the goodies under that law so much except that our neighboring county to the north is slated to receive between $65,- and $100 thousand and they are taxing themselves some 10 mills less than we are for the support of education. One other thing that I find a little bit disturbing is that all eight of the school districts of the state who are listed as not entitled to money under Title I of the law are listed by the Commerce Department as economically depressed areas. Seems a little peculiar" shall we say? Then, last Saturday, I received word that Representative James Roosevelt and his House on Labor, General had voted to kill the minimum wage exemption for newspapers of under 4,000 circulation and that the full House Labor Committee is expected to vote on $1.75 an hour minimum wage bill this week. Now I feel sure that Mr. Roosevelt and the other members of his House on Labor know as well as I do that many of the newspapers of which he is legislating against are losing money at the present time and can only operate by making up part of their losses as newspapers by using the profit from their general printing work. It also seems obvious that those gentlemen are well aware that the net result of their proposed law will be the closing of a great many small weekly newspapers which n can't be operated as a shop and can't pay $1.79 for inexperienced help and are too far out in the boon docks to be able to hire experienced help on a part time, when needed basis. It makes me wonder if the real aim of the law as proposed by Mr. Roosevelt and his isn't to get rid of a lot of noisy trouble makers who have failed to see the light and bow three times toward Washington when the "Great 8ociety' is mentioned. Do you 12, 1965 The Beaver Stake Conference will be held this Saturday and Sunday in the new Second Ward Church building. Construction was started on the new addition about two years ago and has continued since that time. The building is still not quite completed with the main part of the work to be finished being in the base- ment. The new addition will offer seating for close to 1200 people with air conditioning and a new sound system which will enable the speakers to be heard throughout the chapel and the recreation hall. Many people have contributed both money and labor in bringing the project to its present state of completion. The Bishopric of the Second Ward has asked especially that a vote of thanks be extended to the people of the other wards and those from Minersville and Mil-for- d who have come to the job to help with the work. They are going to continue with the work as rapidly as possible and hope to have the dedication of the new building in the very near future. Elder John Longden, an Assistant to the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints (Mormon), Salt Lake City, Ut., will preside at a quarterly conference of the Beaver Stake Saturday and Sunday, August 14 and 15, in Beaver. Also attending will be John E. Carr, a member of the Priesthood Genealogical Committee, and Lorna C. Alder of the Sunday School General Board. General sessions of the conference will be held Sunday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. They will be conducted by Stake President Wallace D. Yardley, Beaver Visitors are welcome. Elder Longden was manager of an electrical supply company, and a Red Cross and Community Chest official when he was appointed to his church position in 1951. A native of England, he served the church as a missionary and regional leader. Elder Carr served as presi- suppose I've made somebody mad at one time or another? Or is the desire to eliminate the voice of the small communities in the wonderful things to come. I only wonder this way because I know damned good and well that Mr. Roasevelt and the other members of Congress on including his labor are fully aware that no law they can pass is going to make it possible for a business that is losing money to increase its wage rates, especially when they have specifically written the laws of the SBA etc so that those newspapers are not able to borrow money to modernize. The funny part of the whole matter is that I'd lots rather pay a man $3 an hour 'than I would $1.75, but a .minimum wage law of $1.75 Is apt to shut this buslneas down wonder If Jimmy can understand that? dent of the New England Mission for three years.

The mothers range in age from 29 to 38 and take turns visiting each other's homes every morning (with their youngsters) to .practice singing. It was Mrs. Jelesnik, however who "discovered" themquite by accident, literally. Enroute from Las Vegas, Mrs. Jelesnik had car trouble a minor accident involving a broken wheel she was "rescued" by Rex Carter who owns a service station in Beaver. The Carter accomoarranged overnight dations for Mrs. Jelesnik and, in return for the kindness, Mrs. Jelesnik auditioned Mr. Carter's wife's quartet. On his wife's Mr. Jelesnik recommendation, put the group on his Talent Showcase, and they were among those receiving top honors.

THE COOKING CLOVERS On Monday, July 19, our Club had a luncheon for our mothers. President Diane Stevens took charge. Lanette gave the prayer. We said our pledge, then our leader, Mrs. Carol Smith, told our mothers the things we have learned to make.
