' But it was an involuntary unveiling. According to Shay, a freak whirlwind dipped across from over the B & J Club, picked up the safety wall in front of the building, and laid it neatly and gently in the street. It's unbelievable, Shay says, that there wasn't a child or a car on the street at the time.

The kids are back from their annual encampment, and all seem to have enjoyed it immensely. Hope the report of the various activities arrives from County Agent Esplin's office in time for publication this week, but the guy has had a lot to do and it takes time to compile those reports, so we may not have them until next week. Jupiter Pluvius was pretty considerate this year, satisfying his ego with a mild rain Monday before the camps were all set up, but he let 'em know he was still capable of spoiling picnics and outings when he wanted to, by soaking the youngsters on the way down from Kents Lake after their three-daaffair was all over. We understand there was considerable vandalism Monday night, with watermelons busted in the middle of camps, food stolen from lockers, and at least two more serious thefts one young girl was robbed of $2.50 and another of $3. Three chaperones of girls reported the vandals boys from Beaver and Minersville according to the ladies, were "drinking beer, one of them was so drunk when he fell against our tent I thought he was going to knock it completely down before he got back on his feet," and after they were finally evicted from the camp they sat in cars blowing the horns until 3 a. m.

Only meager details are available in Milford of an accident to a Boy Scout, near Carp, Nev., when a Union Pacific streamliner train passed over him, severing an arm and "almost completely skinning him." The accident occurred early Tuesday morning, as the Scout Special was en route to the Jamboree in Southern California. Reports reaching Milford indicate that the youth was seen lying on the track by the streamliner reW as they passed a second scout special on a siding. The Irain passed over the boy before it could be halted. He was rushed to the Las Vegas hospital, where early Thursday he was reported as "improving."

(Congressman Stringfellow is correct in the statement that nearly all of the mail we have received from his office has been sent airmail, at no cost to the taxpayer. And we like his idea of an allowance for postage for congressmen, senators, and government bureaus and agencies. At least there would be a top limit on the amount of free ma'l they could send, and we are sure there'd, be a lot less reprints of speeches no one in our area is interested in by public figures we never heard of. And maybe the army and navy publicity bureaus would cut down on blanket mailings of items of interest only to small areas. That alone would be a whale of a saving.) Dear Mr. Williams: Senator Bennett was interested in your "Second Guesser" column of June 25, pertaining to the congressional franking privilege. He appreciated the fact that you didn't use this column to launch any militant campaign against the franking privilege, but only to question certain aspects of it as a matter of public information and public service and he appreciated your constructive approach. This matter is studied frequently in Washington and 1 would like to give you a couple of figures Just by way of comparison, to show you the money that can be spent in franking and in penalty mail which are not the same things. At the end of June, 1952, the total amount of expenses connected with frank mail was $1,702,502. The amount of money expended on penalty mail, which includes that sent out by the Army and other government agencies ouside of Congress, amounted to' some $43,380,618. These figures show you, I believe, that Congressmen are rather careful how they use the on, Back Page) frank-(Continu- |
