Tigers Defeat Roosevelt Friday Night canyon-Strawber- Tabiona Tigers won top listing in the basketball league when they defeated the Roosevelt Rough Riders last Friday night to make their fourth "win in five games. A large crowd at the Roosevelt gymnasium witnessed one of the cleverest, fastest games of ball handling of the season, according to Bernice Tabiona Turnbow, sports reporter. The Tigers were forced to travel in high gear to meet the onslaught of the cagey Rough Riders. The encounter found the scores of the opponents always within a margin of three points although the Tigers were able to sustain a one or two point lead throughout the majority of the game. The tussle cast the lots for the winner of the first half of the Region Five league and the Tabiona ball players were smiled on with good fortune as they wrested the coveted position with a one point lead. The scores by quarters were The well-match- 12-1- 0; 7-- 8; 16-1- 4 and 20-1- 9. The Tiger team consisted of White, Derreld White, Myron Tom Fabrizio, Boyd Williams, Allen Giles and Wayne Van Tassel.

Emmons ward Tuesday evening, January 25, was well attended by local people. There were few from other towns due to the heavy snow. A special feature of the party was the crowning of the queen, Miss Loma Thacker, by Carl Case and a pretty floor show consisting of the "Waltz In Eour, skillfully presented by the queen and her attendants, the Misses June Rogers, Elida Crosby and Gwen Case. The dance was done to the of a girls' trio accompaniment composed of Mrs Anthon Rust, Miss Delma Thacker and Miss Doane Case, who sang "Ill See Tou Again" and Dee In My Heart, with piano music by Mrs Evan Hansen. Mr and Mrs Leroy Thacker furnished the music for the balance of the evening. Mr and Mrs Birch Bennion had charge of arrangements. MIA 9, 27-2- 8, Fort Fitz-Simmo- Actual snow measurements just over established snow course on the Uinta National Forest Indicate a serious deficiency In water prospects on the Strawberry slope but with normal conditions on the Duchesne River watershed, according to Forest Supervisor George C. Larson. Measurements of the Daniels summit snow course, consisting of 44 stations, Indicated a snow depth of 29.25 inches and a water content of 5.29 inches. Both depth and water content are far below the long time average based on a 21 year period, with the present water content being shown as only 68 percent of the long time average of 7.98 inches. On January 31 last year the average depth on this course was 49.96 inches with a water content of 11.63 inches. These measurements were made by Forest Rangers A. F. Richards and E J. Adair of Heber. In contrast to the unfavorable prospects on the Strawberry slope Foresjt Ranger Thomas of Duchesne reports favorable conditions on the Duchesne river watershed with measurements on the Indian canyon snow course showing a depth of 36.01 Inches and a water content of 5,60 inches, as compared with the long time average of 25.71 inches snow depth and water content of 5.01 Inches. Measurements on this taken course at the same time last year reflected a depth of 32.7 inches and a water content of 5.82 Inches. Mr Larson pointed out that the absence of uniformity In snowfall as shown by the measurements taken on these two established courses Is also probably true on other sections of the forest In that there Is no doubt a considerable variance throughout the various watersheds. Mr Larson further pointed out, however, that It is still early In the season and that the deficiency on the Strawberry slope may yet be overcome by later snowfall. taken Dear Doug ry $2.50 Ter Year In Advance Number 29 Duchesne Hits Three-Quaile- r Mark On Fourth War Loan; $1,000 Yet To Go Individual Quota Lags As Campaign Goes Into Third Week; Canvassers Spur Efforts To Raise $15,000 Allotment Precinct Quotas SCHOOL DISTRICT Set By County Chairman II. Hall BUYS $2,500 WAR BONDS The City of Duchesne has passed the three-quartmark on its Fourth War Loan quota, it was reported by committee chairmen Thursday evening. Purchases of bonds to date total $11,058.30, it was reported by Mrs Vivian Wilkins and Mrs Helen Hollenbeck. The quota is $15,000 for all types of bonds.. Purchases during the first two weeks of the drive were enthusiastic and sales were easy to make, canvassers said, but individual purchases have shown a decided slump the past two days. 51 ust Make Quota We are now In the third week of the campaign with $4,000 yet to go and that last $4,000 are going to Le hard to get, Mrs WU-kisaid, but there are still a number of people who have not bought that extra bond this drive and we're going to persuade them to do so in the next week, she added. The Duchesne county school, at their regular meeting Tuesday authorized the purchase of $2500 in war bonds. The purchase will be made with surplus funds that will not be needed Immediately. They will be cashed when the money is needed. Nearly the entire day was devoted to discussion of the purchase of new school busses, and the clerk was instructed to find out how many busses would be available for purchase if the district decides to replace some of their worn out vehicles. At present Duchesne county owns 24 busses (all busses are now district owned) and some of them are costing considerable money for maintenance. The board was officially notified that E. A. Call, head equipment mechanic had resigned his Two other mechanics, position. Willard Deardon and Wm. Gallyer, are maintaining the equipment, it was reported by Superintendent W. J.

Contention of the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy is that they would be unable to perform the task of conducting an election with 48 different ballots, and they have strongly urged that the election be through a federal ballot. Last week the President took a hand In the matter and In very strong and vigorous language (too vigorous in the mind3 of some people) asked Congress to pass a simple resolution providing for a The legislation federal ballot. will probably be passed in this manner: That the War and Na vy Departments will be responsible for getting the ballots to and from our servicemen and wo-- I men in every pa it of the woild, and that each state will have full jurisdiction over the qualifiea-- I tions of the voters and will do the official counting of the ballots as is now done under absentee vot-- I Ing laws.
