Show The Fourth Was Fun! 9 jbitHM, But Self THE ONLY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD THAT CARES d By 8TEV1 WILLIAMS We got a couple of stories mixed up last week and had students and four adults as members of the NeighborIt was 12 hood Youth Corps. Boy Scouts and four adults on the expedition to Big Cedar Cove, and the Youth Corps has 30 students of the county employed in training. 12 tree-choppi- for Milford's Kids and . The Fourth was Fun Adults alike. The largest turnout for a Fourth Celebration in many years cheered and applauded as Gary Winkel's modern version of the former Legion Comic Band led the floats and marchers and riders down Main Street, and when they arrived at Legion Park the young musicians, whom Mr. Winkel has been directing for only a few weeks, presented a very creditable and very enjoyable band concert. j Then the Legion concessionaires were swamped by the youngsters and hungry adults, and a total of $50 in change was handed out to race and game winners, tossed into the air for a coin scramble, and later the remaining coins were tossed into the swimming pool to add more fun and excitement for the kids. The Little Leaguers put on a show later in the aftbang-uernoon. Teen agers ganged up at St. Bridget's Recreation Hall at 9 o'clock for a record hop, and "surfed" and "watusied"' and "jerked" and performed all the other gyrations of the modern teen dances until the record (under player was silenced protest) at 11:30. Darrell Cox, comparative newcomer to Milford who is employed as an electronics technician by the Union Pacific, received the "participation prize" of a complete fishing outfit. Father Valine donated the hall for the dance. The record-hop dance was so popular the Legion has agreed to sponsor similar teen dances twice a month during the summer, at a nominal admission fee, and Father Valine has agreed to make the hall available on nights it is not needed for adult functions at a "nominal" fee. All in all, observers say the Fourth on the Fifth in Milford was a successful celebration, an orderly celebration, and a Big Day for the Kids . . and a big thanks to the Legion for their sponsorship. p Milford's Boys Staters "did all right" at the 1065 Boys State sessions at Logan. Besides earning the commendation of Boys State officials for their conduct and during the classes and lectures, each of the five was elected to or nominated for at least one office. And for the second consecutive year a Milford Stater received one of the 35 special scholarships awarded by Utah State University. Steve Miller received the scholarship; and was elected a special police officer for Jensen City. Blaine Roberts was elected sheriff, and was the Yardley City nominee for Governor of Boys State. Mike Symond was elected county delegate from Jensen City .and was nominated for Senator to Boys Nation. Keith Gillins was nominated City Councilman for Stewart City. Gary Tomsik was nominated for county commissioner, nominated for attorney general, and was elected City Councilman. The recognition our five boys consistently receive, competing with more than 600 other Boys Staters, is a credit to our community, our school, and to Milford Post No. 16, The American Legion . We've seen a lot of slogans and other identifications on but the most striking was on a guy that admitted to being 7 ft tall, and undoubtedly was a star on some basketball squad. The inscription: "Coon . . . Breakfast of Champions." 'JOYRIDING' THE MAIL Mr. Gronousky and jis Postal Planners aren't getting very popular with Southern Utah businessmen who are getting fed up with the delay In mall and parcel post caused by "Joyriding" the mail on trucks up and down the state. We've complained before about letters and packages being mailed in Cedar City, which formerly came by railway mail to Milford and were delivered at 8 a. m. the next day, now being sent by truck through Beaver north 250 miles to Provo; then back from Provo to Beaver on a different track, then over to Milford on a third track. June 30 two packages were mailed at the same time by the same company in Los Angeles. One waa delivered In Milford on Friday, July 2. The other waa delivered on Tuesday, July 6. One came to Milford directly by railway mail, as It should have. The other went through Milford to Salt Lake by rail; from Salt Lake to Provo by truck; from Provo to Beaver on another truck; then from Beaver (finally) to Milford on still another truck. And they bitch about the Post Office deficit We'll go alone with Rep. Burton In his effort to have a Congressional Committee make a Invescomplete and thorough of the of operation tigation Office Department. the Post to We don't need . . . speed up mall delivery sense. comen Just Hyrum L.

Honey bees occasionally nesting inside the walls of homes or other buildings may also cause consternation. Dr. George Knowlton, Utah State University extension en tomologist, advises. When you locate the nests of wasps, hornets or yellow Jackets, thoroughly spray them in the evening when the insects are all in their nests. Use sprays conchlor-danDDT or 2 taining 5 lindane or diel-drior 0.5 Do not use dieldrin, lindane or chlordane for spraying large areas inside rooms. "Destroy honey bees nesting in walls of your buildings by injecting a liberal amount of DDT, lindane or chlordane dust or spray through the entrance Do this in the evening hole. after all the bees have returned to their nests After the bees have completely disappeared, securely close the entrance to the nest. If at all possible remove and destroy the honey from such bee nests because of possible insecticide residue in it and to prevent the bees from a colony in the old location, as they will if ever they can find an entrance to reach the old bee nest: This week 68 pounds of cancelled stamps were shipped to a wholesale dealer in the midwest, it was reported by Mrs. Claude Myers, originator of the Stamps for the Hospital project, and the Milford Valley Memorial Hospital will receive $27 .20 in return. Mrs. Myers pointed out that about 50 pounds of stamps almost half of those collected, had to be discarded because they were trimmed too close. Persons saving stamps for the hospital should leave at least inch margin on all sides when clipping them from the envelope. Safest method, Mrs. Myers said, is the one used by Utah Power & Light Co. at their Milford and Richfield offices. The letters are opened at the left end, and the entire envelope deposited in the pickup boxes. Envelopes or stmaps may be left at the Beaver County News office or at the hospital. Mrs. LaPrele Lewis is chairman of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary committee which trims the stamps before shipment to the wholesaler.

The Scouts-werRodney Nichols. Kent Gillins, Jay Walker, Larry Barnes. Allan Schow. Billy Schow, Jeff Edwards, Lamar Jones, Robert Jimenez, Garth Bonn, Brent McCulley and Scott Barnes. Accompanying them were Rev. Jim Sloan, Joe Tribole, Ross Patterson, Wayne Hardy, and A. B. Merryweath-er- , president of the Milford Wildlife Portective Association. The adults supervised the activity and furnished and prepared hot dogs and pop for the boys when they were through cutting. The tree removal project was explained to the Scouts and the purpose of the removal so that more desirable plant life can flourish for the use of livestock and deer. In the original removal using Fish and Game Department policy of leaving the uprooted trees for game protection many of the small trees of the juniper and pinion varieties escape the dozers and soon grow larger when removed from the competition of the larger trees. If these are not removed they will quickly get larger and revert the project to its original status. Many of these small trees are already large enough to require several strokes of the axe to remove. An area approximately a quarter of a mile wide and a half mile long was covered by the Scouts. More trips are planned for this summer and any who is interested Is welcome to participate, whether they are affiliated with the Scouts e tn or not. The Milford Wildlifers also plan a bitter brush seed gathering trip for August. This seed is very valuable to the varl ous land management agencies in their browse rehabilitation programs.
