As for as "good news" is concerned, this is certainly some of the best news of the year. Over at Hillcrest they took We think the school the trouble to total up what the scholarships amount to, and for Hillcrest alone they reach almost $27,000. This means that the seniors in the district high four Jordan schools have been awarded something over $100,000 in scholarships this year. That ought to be enough to make the undergraduates study to beat the band! Salt Lake City wants a new ty building, to cost $10 million. Heck, they haven't finished either the Hall of Justice nor the Salt Palace yet, and now these Downtown Dreamers want a new courthouse. We'd say, if Salt Lake wants to build a new city hall, it can go right ahead anytime, and spend its own money. But the county is in no mood to build a new courthouse. We just got the old one paid for, and by golly it had better last a while. spectacular one-c- ar State University-Sha- ron Abrams, Louann Day, Wendy Cause, Connie Massa, Debbie Patience, Debbie Utah term Serving 44-da- y on three charges Wil-lia- Snow Marie College Pendleton, Shelley Smith.

The question is easily answered: These candidates are not very good publicity hounds. The Sentinel has a policy of giving each candidate one announcement story at the time of filing, with a picture if he furnishes the photo. After that all space must be paid for at Riv-erto- regular rates. The Sentinel does not chase down candidates to get these stories. Most candidates, af- ter filing, Immediately pay a personal visit to the newspaper office, get acquainted, give the editor a photo and a copy of their statement, and make arrangements for paid advertising. This is routine, and a candidate who hasn't learned it is a real greenhorn In the business. It's since the census was taken, and no report yet.

According to announcements from trackside at Indianapolis, Simon's No. 44 will start from the pole position in the 11th or last row of starters.

The qualifying times were the fastest ever this year, and were bunched closer than usual, ranging from Al 170.221 down to Sammy Session's slowest 165.373. The spread of less than 5 miles an hour was a considerably faster average than last year's spread of about 10 miles an hour. All of the qualifiers were veterans of the Indianapolis classic except four rookies, one of whom was Simon, who got his basic racing experience on the dirt track at the Salt Lake Fairgrounds. Simon had been frustrated at Indianapolis by motor trouble, had to have his motor returned to the factory for rebuilding, and got It back just in time to meet the qualifying deadline last week end. ed His car is a Vollstedt Ford that has the down been zooming straightaways at more than 200 mph, with necessary slowdowns on the turns cutting down the average speed.

Salt Lake Citv. Boy floats, saved from Draper canal A Riverton toddler was saved from drowning last Thursday afternoon when he fell into a canal and floated more than a block before be- ing rescued. Cory Ray Kidd, son of Mr & Mrs Gail Kidd, 11820 South 1900 West, Riverton, was staying with his grandmother, Mrs Ray Savage, 620 East 11920 South, Draper, when he fell into the canal some 20 or 30 feet behind the Savage home, where it runs about 7 feet wide and 4 to 5 feet deep. Mrs Bruce K. Birchell,580 East 11800 South, who was hanging up clothes, heard a noise in the canal and saw the boy floating on his back, arms and legs outstretched. She called her husband, who leaped a fence and jumped into the canal. He picked the boy up in his arms and walked out of the deep water. Sheriffs deputies arrived quickly and the boy was taken to Cottonwood Hospital, where he was treated and released. In the excitement his grandmother fainted, and she too was taken to the hospi- tal. Police officers were unable to explain how the boy managed to relax and float on his back, but said this was undoubtedly what saved his life. |
