CONGRATULATIONS ARE AGAIN in order for those hard working men and women of Duchesne County who made the 1955 County Fair one of the most successful in the history of county fairs. . . There were a few displays that were not as plentiful as in the past, but the quality of products and displays exhibited was outstanding. THE GREATEST GROWTH in exhibits this year was in the livestock, which was very encouraging to those directing the fair. They put on a fine show, which was climaxed by a and FFA auction that was most encouraging. TO NAME INDIVIDUALS who were outstanding in their contributions of time, talents and financial aid, would be unfair to the many unsung champions who were in there helping to put the big project over. Let it suffice to say their efforts, all of them, were greatly appreciated by the fair board and the people in general of Duchesne County. Those leaders deserve to be praised to the high heavens for their fine leadership. 4-- vEv New Idiscoveries in science will continue to create a thouHersand new frontiers for those who would still adventure. bert Hoover. TWO ENCOURAGING ACTIONS TAKEN BY ROOSEVELT CITY .... THIS WEEK TWO ALMOST STARTLING announcements came from the office of Roosevelt City, when it was reported the city officials had shaved off three mills from the 1955 budget This action will cost the city almost $4,000 in revenue to operate on next year. . . However, with the trend being upward in. taxes, it is most encouraging and heartening that a small decrease is forthcoming. OFFICIALS HOPE THIS TREND might be followed by other taxing units in Duchesne County and perhaps extend beyond. There has been a lot of talk the past few weeks about the increase in tax levies in Duchesne County, especially by the school board. . . Having had a chance to study very carefully the proposed budget for the 1955-5- 6 school term, it is mighty difficult to find a place to cut . . However, if they could shave off a mill some place, and the county do the same, it would help a lot to ease the feelings of the people who are so concerned about rising costs, and thats just about all of us. THE OTHER ANNOUNCEMENT made by the City of Roosevelt, was that the council had passed an ordinance, that, if enforced, will eliminate the open irrigation ditch or canal in the city limits. . . This most certainely is a wise move, and could easily be the action that could save some youngster from drowning. . . Thats one justification for passing the ordinance, and another good one would be the elimination of unsightly ditches where new curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements are being made. THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN ROOSEVELT earnestly hope the ordinance is rigidly enforced, and all existing open canals and ditches be properly covered. . , Its a wise move and one worthy of commendation. vEv Thirty years ago I was a poor boy.
