' v . . 1931 Will Reward The BEAE EWER VALLEY LEABE1 LIONS AND PARTNERS DINE, DANCE AND MAKE MERRY AT BEAR RIVER THURSDAY, MARCH 5th, UTAH, TREMONTON, VOLUME 6 1931 NUMBER CITY; HUGE CROWD EN JOYS HOSPITALITY OF NEIGHBOR TOWN ' l: ., The Tremonton Lions Club were roy ally received and royally entertained at Bear River City, Wednesday night. Not only the Lions and their partners but all those who cared to participate in the big time were invited. With one or two exceptions every Lion and his partner were present with many invited guests, which made the crowd ne of the largest yet to assemble on such an occasion. On entering the hall one's eyes were immediately drawn to the very clever cartoons depicting Lions in all of their forms of life and fun with phrases written on them, the largest of which contained these words, "Now that you are here let's get acquainted. Dine, dance and be merry", and another "The Lost Chord, Sing, brother1, sing." "Let's do the Bear hug" was another, with others equally as appropriate and which added much to the spirit of the occasion. At 7:30 a delicious banquet was served, requiring three settings before the last had dined. The tables and hall were decorated in purple and gold, the Lion, colors. Before and during the banquet the Bear River City Band 'fur nished some very entertaining music After the banquet a program, con sisting of several numbers from Tremonton and Bear River City was rendered. Bishop Osey Jensen delivered an address of welcome which was eleven- anrl pnfrprtaininc to sav the least and in which many of the Lions were Lion President humorously flayed. Taylor responded briefly and proved to be quite the story teller. The balance of the program consisted of two character dances, .given by DeEsta Holmgren and Virginia Carter; a laddies chorus and a male quartette, from Bear River City and, piano solo, by Mis3 Rub.y Bergstrom from. Tremon- ton. The roar of the, Lion was hushed abruptly when one of the good ladies came from the dining room and said that after a careful check of the silverware had been taken, they found some missing. She said that the gentleman was not thin, he wasn't fat, tall, nor short, nor good looking. After gazing around the town constable was called and the Lion answering more nearly the description above was pointed out and they straightway marched to Lion R. S. Calderwood and proceeded to search him. The result was one spoon drawn forth while the crowd looked wild eyed and roared with laughter. It was even more funny when the old Lion tried to explain it away; the tail twister fined him a time. Robert H. Stewart and Scott Zimmerman dropped in on the party and were induced to say a few words relative to the "rat killin' " to be carried on in the county. Besides being a modern Pied Tiper, Mr. Zimmerman prov ed to be a real story teller when the scotch and the danish came in for some publicity. At a late hour the party broke up after spending one of the most pleasant and enjoyable evening of feasts, fun and dancing. To the good people of Bear River City, and especially the cooks, the band and the entertainers, goes the genuine appreciation of the Lions and their guests for the wonderful time they had at Bear River City.

The purpose of the visit was to try and induce the packing company to increase the capacity of their factory at Tremonton so that new territory may be added to serve the factory in crops that they can. The committee was received very kindly by the officials and while nothing definitely could be given out as to the future plans of the company the committee was not left without hope of expansion as quickly as conditions would permit. The committee was glad to be informed that there would be no cut in acreage in peas and' tomatoes this year with a very likely increased acreage of peas. Following the experiments made last year with the planting of summer peas it is also very likely that the company will accept an offer made by Mr. Holmgren to supervise a five acre experimental plot on other crops that those now being canned by the factory.

" - " Representatives of he Utah Canners Association and the State and Weber County Canning Crops association got together quickly on the price to be paid for tomatoes this year at a meeting in the office of the canning association Thursday afternoon. After reaching an agreement that tomatoes should be graded according to the United States Standard, it was announced that growers would be paid $13 a. ton for No. 1 grade, and $6 a ton for No. 2 grade. The two grades are defined as follows: U. S. No. 1 shall consist of tomatoes which are firm, ripe, well colored, well formed, free from molds and decay and from damage caused by growth cracks, worm holes, sunscald, freezing, injury mechanical of other means. U. S. No. 2 shall consist of tomatoes which do not meet the requirements of the foregoing grade, but which are ripe and fairly colored and which are free from serious damage from any Ogden. cat-face- s, cause. Last year growers were paid $11.50 a ton flat rate for tomatoes in bulk and they asked the same price this year. It is said by experts that, under the prices agreed to be paid by the canners this year, those growers who raise high class tomatoes and are careful with the picking will realize a higher price for their product than thev did before.

This was a very enjoyable bit of music. All in all the program was one of the best of its kind ever presented in the city.

Dr. Chambers has consented to cooperate with us. In fact, he will do the regular fee this work for on the following conditions: Each community, through the Farm Bureau, list owners of dairy cattle desirous of having" cows tested. On the day the veterinarian calls all animals should be in stanchions or tied up. All animals over six months old and herd bull should be included in the test. The fee for this work will be 25 cents per animal. My suggestion is that all farm bureau presidents call meetings at once, inviting all owners of dairy cattle (whether farm bureau members or not to sign up those willing to test their animals now, being sure to state that those not testing now, but wishing to test later, will be required to pay the regular fee of 50 cents per head. Mail your lists to me, and I will get in touch with the veterinarian and arrange schedules. You will be notified through the press and the farm bureau organization the day the veterinarian will be Noble Hunsaker, in your locality. D. No. 1. F. R. City, Brigham m one-ha- lf The Tremonton City Council met in its regular monthly session Monday evening at which a number of important ordinances and other matters were passed. Dr. T. B. Beatty, of the State Board of Health, was present to appear be- - , fore the council with relation to ordinance relating to the disposition of garbage. An ordinance had been prepared by . County Attorney Lewis Jones which was approved with some amendments and additions to suit certain specific cases in the city and was ordered returned to Mr. Jones for the proper phrasing before publication. An order was also given by the council to the ordinance committee to have drawn up an ordinance relating to licenses for the sale of wholesale petroleum products and also an ordinance which will have embodied in it. a clause prohibiting the installation on the curbing of any more gasoline pumps and for the removal of all that are now on the curbings within six months after the publication of the ordinance. , It was felt by the council, after lengthy discussion, that there are many reasons why this action should be taken and if those who were directly interested in this proposed or-dinance or ordinances care to present their case, If they have any, the council would be glad to hear them at their next regular meeting. It was also decided that the city would advertise, in regular manner, for the refinancing of $15,000 worth of bonds that mature the first of July and also that they are prepared to take up an additional $10,000 of the bonds that are now oustanding. After some discussion, with relation to the city's water supply, the water committee were instructed to change thev;toiletsi of a, number of .business houses?, where the lavatories are used by the public, to the canal water, as a test to see what benefit, if any, ot will mean to the supply of culinary water, which was felt was ample for all reasonable demands, evcept that the low pressure necessitated the use of ' booster pumps in two. story buildings. Concessions were asked, by Councilman Holmgren, on the water rental because it was felt by him that he was paying for something he did not get. After some discussioiuthe council sustained a previous decision on this matter by refusing any concession on the grounds that the city in no way guaranteed an amount of water or any given pressure. The matter of the delinquent list of water users was taken up. It was felt that all concessions, as to time, would be granted that was consistant but the city must insist that water must be paid in a reasonable lengh of time or the same would be cut off. A statemet from A. C. Ball, who recently completed an audit of the city books, showed that all entries, transfers, receipts and disbursements made by the treasurer and the clerk were correct and that the city's books were kept in first class shape. Brief discussion was held relative to pending legislation which affects municipalities and it was found 'that the views of the council were pretty much in line with those expressed by the majorities of the councils of the cities of the state, with relation to the gas tax apportionment of cities as also the one w ith relation to the commission having power over municipaliand ties, improvements, bond budgets, be'.vj favvaid.? to the latrer. Claims were allowed and meeting adjourned. , Iremonton Lions Attend Ogden Club Banquet Lion President S. C Taylor, Secre- tary T. A.
