May 23, 1981, the families of Annie and Lafe Bradshaw met at the Beaver 1st and 2nd Ward Church for their annual Reunion. The Ronald Bradshaw family were in. charge this year. Each family were given a color to wear that day and many different ideas were presented. A trophy had been designed to present to the family with the highest percentage in attendance. Three families qualified with 100 percent in attendance. The Norman Bradshaw family, Clatk Bradshaw family and Ronald Bradshaw family were the winners. The trophy will be inscribed with their names and each year it will be awarded to those who have the highest attendance. There were 179 members in attendance. This is the largest Reunion the Annie and Lafe Bradshaw family have ever had. The Reunion started at 11 with a prayer by A.M. President Howard Bradshaw. Ronald Bradshaw announced the program which consisted of two numbers from each of the family. Those families participating on the program were LaVel, Collis, Ray, Howard, Norman, Elinore, Dr. David Miller, Lois and Ronald. A family song about the Lafe and Annie Bradshaw family was composed by the following families: Howard Bradshaw, Norman Bradshaw, LaVel Bradshaw and Ronald A prize was Bradshaw. given for the best family song but because of the beauty and talent of our families, all were considered winners and will be used each year.

FAHRLENDER ELLEN I. FaHRLENDER THE Commentary Dear Editor: I'm sure that many of the good people living in our community have chosen this area to live and raise their, families for various reasons but one that is most important is the high ideals ideals abounding in our on all levels, community school, community, church and private. 1 was, therefore, shocked and disgusted to . Freedom of the press is one' of the things that makes America worth living in. Our town paper also prides itself on on being able to publish articles by our townspeople as they are written. If they had wanted them changed, they would do so before publication. If the editor of the paper changed anything, then that person would be taking away a basic right. I , personally, do not see how an article on our television reception in bad weather is demeaning and degrading to our community. If there was anything pornographic suggested then it was only in some reader's mind, definitely not in the article - if that reader could be talking about the number of children born in Beaver because of our television reception tell me what is wrong with husbands and wives having children? and whether you care to believe it or not it does happen a few times around here. As to smutty language, I have heard worse language walking down Main Street. "My Hell" is a very common phrase among Utahan's. I'm sorry if some of our readers read "smutty inuendos" in. the article about a simple honest complaint from a woman who was just out of the hospital and just wanted to watch a little T.V. instead of going out to play tennis or such in the snow. I came here to live because of the good clean atmosphere thast I want my family to grow up in and I'm still not dissap-pointenor would I be after reading any article in a newspaper that could be damaging to my integrity, if one was ever written or published. I'm much more mature than that. I am bothered that there are such unhappy individuals in our town but not to print the letter in its entirety would be in violation of freedom of speech and press. I also know that there will always be unhappy people in every town along with happy, good, bad, sick and well, black and white. That's what makes up every town, community, state and world. Save for a few, our standards, are still what made America what it is. Karen Hammond d, read last week's article "Hattie's Hints", which degraded and demeaned not the integrity of the community as a whole but also the citizens as well. ,1 respect the right of any person to express their complaints and views. However, I do not respect dirty language and smutty inuendos which insult the readers of our community paper. As a subscriber, and supporter of our paper, I do not want this kind of filth in my home. Wouldn't it have been better if you, the editor, had asked this writer to clean up the article and then you would gladly publish it? By not taking a stand on an issue such as this pornography, we might as well say we condone it for our community. 1 don't and I believe there must be many onlv others around who are disgusted with it. The issue of television service in Beaver is not really the points I object to. However, perhaps the author is already exposed to too much T.V. viewing if this is the language and standards she is learning from it.

The recent death of Mickey Walker reminded me of one of those stories that has been buried right here in Beaver; and it has to do with of my Clyde Allgood-on- e favorite citizens. It takes us way back; and if you remember the 'roaring twenties' the 'Charleston' and 'flappers' - well, you're almost as old as I am. But you don't have to be. Three of the best known sports heroes of that era were Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, and the above mentioned Mickey Walker known as the "Toy Bulldog," one of the greatest fighters of all time. He held the world's welterweight and middleweight titles, challenged Maxie Rosenbloom and Tommy Loughran for the light heavyweight crown and fought matches with Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling both of whom later held the world's heavyweight title. Mickey and Jack Dempsey were managed by another 'colorful character of the twenties known as Jack "Doc" Kearns. - The date is July 4, 1927. Doc Kearns has his welterweight-middleweight champ in Las Vegas for a scheduled ten round bout. But at the last minute the other guy didn't show. Now you can't disappoint a large crowd that has paid money to see a world champion in action. Enter Clyde AHgood who had been doing some boxing around Vegas in the 147 pound class, which put him close to Mickey's weight. Some of the local gentry suggested his name to the Doc, and Kearns, being a bit desperate, latched on fast. They set Clyde up for a four round exhibition against the "Toy Bulldog" with the stipulation that he'd get fifty dollars for each round he could finish. Kid Allgood not only finished the four rounds but fought the champion to a draw! After the fight Mickey came over to Clyde's corner, congratulated him and told him he'd been warned to watch out for his left. Doc Kearns joined them, asked our man what his status was. When Clyde said, "I'm married and have two children and my wife doesn't like me to fight." Doc said, "I guess I have my answer." "What was the question?" asked Clyde. And Doc replied, "I manage two world champions now Dempsey and Walker - and I figured you had something I could build on." It was a supreme compliment from one of the greatest fight managers in the game. Was that a brush with fame and fortune that Clyde had on that July 4th? What heights might he have attained had he hooked up with the wily Kearns on that day? Who knows? One thing is for sure our friend was one heckuva boxer in his day. And another thing we know for sure, he had to sneak out of his house to fight Mickey Walker on that July 4th. Which just goes to show you men, never underestimate the power of a woman. -- -- j Call j 387-249- 6 Leo G. Kartell j Attorney at Law J 438 S.

When Solomon Young reached Utah, army officials refused to recieve the merchandise valued at approximately $200,000. Mr. Truman recalled. , As a result Solomon Young was left with this merchandise and was unable to return east because his funds were exhausted.
