In most of the near by canyons, pinion pine and scrub oak grew in abundance and the Pioneers quickly realized they made the hotest fire and gave the best light. Although many of the first lamps with them they proved useless because they could not obtain the necessary oil. Nearly all of them were forced to use what they called "bitch light," which was made by putting a rag in a dish of tallow or grease and lighting the rag. Sometimes threaded the they rag through a button or tied a of it. If pebble in there was too much fat in the container it would blaze up and cause a small fire. As soon as tallow could be obtained, candles were made by the women folks. The town tinsmith fashioned the molds in sizes which made 2, 4, 6, or 12 candles at one time. The candles were made by placing a cotton wick the length of the mold, then filling the mold with hot tallow. When cold, the candles were removed by pouring' hot water over the mold. Drip candles were t for this. complete Also the Club Championship which will probably be in conjunction with the Ladies Club Championship at the end of the season. Probably will have a "Whing Ding" steak fry following. All in all it looks like a fun sell-ou- golfing Summer outlined with lots of interesting affairs scheduled. I'm kinda inexperienced in golf but it sounds exciting and looks like a good excuse to do a little playing-a-rounSo, I'm going to check out the details and get all signed-utomorrow. Good idea for you ' OF THE 'UfcTf p Letter to the Editor Just Playin' A Round Rumor has it that a new breed of "Chiefs" have taken over management of the Men's Golf Association" and from what I overheard some of this year's plans are shocking!!! I happened to be at a meeting the other night and just gotta let you in on some of the planned activities. Several small local tournaare scheduled ments throughout the Summer and will be advertized in the news papers and at the club house. Everyone is invited to come out and have fun. Seems it doesn't matter how well you perform at this crazy game, you always go back for more. After listening to the discussion about a game they called "Mixed Doubles", I can see why. First, you better be at the Golf Course on Wednesday evenings or be aware of your spouse's where-about- s and activities. 'Cause it sounds like that little "Hamlet" in the Canyon is going to be a mighty hot and busy spot. I tomorrow plan to stga-up cause it sounds awfully exciting. Apparently this a sport involving member of both sexes is simply a legal and endorsed with a way to new partner. And whats more, a new and different partner each week. From what I learned by inquiring, this game hasn't been very popular as a spectator sport, and that I can't understand as it all takes place within the fences of the golf course and in broad daylight. I'll get on with a few rules later, but right now I suggest you get yourself signed up and finish this article later. Even tho you don't play the game of golf very well; as I see it, other skills may be more important for this affair. For your own good and education I suggest you do as the "Goose docs" and be a part of this activity. Recover from all your ailments and come out to participate or forever have that doubt. They say the rules are simple but honor is a must. Also, the game is physical but relaxing. I've got to admit at this point tho, it appears, it may be quite frustrating. Some nights you and your partner alternate "smacks", they say, and you are fully rewarded for good "smacks". Another thing peculiar to me is that you are rewarded for the leastest ralher than the mostest. From some of the stories I overheard, this game must bring out the Devil and is to some very frustrating people. I guess this is because of some of the predicaments they get themselves into. They say, there is no guarantee that you won't experience some bad lies and very uncomfortable positions. Of course this is ' just part of the game and I understand the rules do provide relief in some instances. The game is supposed to be a challenge anyway, and remember by the honor system you keep your own score. Can't see why keeping your own score and the honor system is so important when the whole thing is conducted in broad daylight and everyone can see what going on. I suggested we maybe ought to begin the matches at sunset what with the honor scoring and all, but they insist it's gotta' be played in mixed p!ay-a-roun- d to look into it too. buildings. They were uncertain and dangerous. Accidents frequently happened when a draft would go down the chimney driving the flame into the kerosene and causing an explosion. The following is the story of the first lamp posts on the Main Street of Salt Lake City Utah, as told by Mrs. Alice E. Harrison Sessions, a Utah Pioneer of 1862, who is the daughter of William Harrison and Hannah- Adams Harrison. She was born July 25, 1859, at St. Joseph, Missouri. "When Mrs. Sessions was about 7 years old, her father, who was a tinsmith, made the first lamps that were put on Main Street of Salt Lake City, Utah. These lamps were made out of bright shiny tin which was purchased from Milton Rogers who owned a tin shop on the same corner for these lamps out of mutton kerosene tallow. (Later lamps were used on the same posts.) "President Brigham Young asked the people to donate 15 cents a piece to help pay Tor cedar posts to install these lamps. All boys or be purchased, lamps were used in the pioneer homes. There was a variety of lamps, small and large, glass, china and tin. In some homes they could only afford one lamp, others had many. Lamps were favorite wedding presents. Many homes had chandeliers that were equipped with beautiful oil lamps, which were prized possessions. The lantern played a most prominent part in every home and was used as an extra light. If the pioneers did visiting after dark, the lantern was their companion along the unlighted roads. It was used in the wagons and carriages as a means of heating. Lanterns have not passed out of use. They are still an essential article for canyon, camp and mountain trips. Lanterns were oftimes suspended from the ceilings of Churches and recreational could - play-a-roun- J jj By Ilynn Bradshaw Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cal-ient- e, 0 o Mrs. Julia Edwards has been staying at Mr. and Mrs. LaVoy Maycock's at night. 0 0 0 Mr. and Mrs. Jess Edwards cooked Sunday dinner for Mr. and Mrs. LaVar Cox and family.

But, Heck; they promptly informed me the stable area was and no playing-a-rounover there. Now I understand why this game is so frustrating and haven't in a even played-a-roun' mixed best ball tournament yet. When I got home and related all this to my wife, she decided to someway get out of her commitment of singing in the chorus every Wednesday night and come along with me. In fact, we might even get the drop on you all by going up to the golf course tomorrow and just for practice. The rest of the meeting wasn't quite as interesting, but I should report on the goings-on- . May have missed a few points as my thoughts kept wandering to that coming best ball tournament and who I might be playing-a-roun- d with. Anyway, they discussed some improvements they would like to complete on the golf course this year: a loading ramp for carts, improving sand traps, seeding new areas to grass and building new Tee Boxes for the ladies, (don't know how this goes about but volunteered to help and kinda looking forward to what this might develop into.( By the way, they say they need lots of help on these projects and would appreciate you-al- l coming out on work nights. Oh, Ya; Wally is to head a committee to get rid of the stickers and weeds along fairway. Hope he gets this done before they start the Mixed Twilight League stuff. They got another Twilight League thing going too, but it's just for the men. Doesn't sound as interesting to me but they all indicate it's great fun awfully competitive between the teams as well as the individual members vieing for the top spots on the team each week. They say teams come from Minersville and Milford to compete too. The for this will be big kick-of- f 13. You can May Thursday, signup for this and pay your annual Men's dues at the club house anytime now. Ya, I almost forgot, they also discussed the annual Men's Best Ball Tournament scheduled for September. The Southern Utah Amatuer Tournament in July which is regarded as one of the most popular and rewarding tournaments in Utah. Lots of help will be needed to keep this tournament on the high plane we have experienced in the past.

Oh, well; I can it's gonna be difficult suppose everyone will into the same problems. d They say, "Just to the best of your ability and score the best you can but keep good count on your score." I don't know about you but keeping track of my score in just 2 hours of playing-a-rounshouldn't be too difficult. Especially under the conditions we will be playing-a-roun- d under. Can you realize the adversity of this situation with a group in front, a group behind, the Canyon Highway and houses all around, and all in bright daylight. Funny I haven't heard some comments town about this game; they say they have been playing it for quite awhile. At one point in the meeting I thought I had it all figured out.

One man by the name of Jensen, who was came nearly 90 years old, with his pick and shovel to help with the work. Mr, Harrison took the tools away from him and put a chair in the center of the road and told him to boss the job, which pleased the old man very much. After the sage brush was all cleared off, the posts were set in position, one on each corner of First South and Main Street, and the candle lamps were fastened on top. "All the windows of the stores were decorated for the occasion. Lamps were placed in the windows of the stores anJ lighted.
