Show 1 . r s Sports Seeing With Dean By KSL Dean IpirtKuttr Imhku This should be the greatest week in the year's world of sports. The world series is on. The Olympics are getting under way in Tokyo. The colleges are still momentum in their football races and the pro ftaining clubs are taking direct aim on the championship as they roll into their regular season's second week. The American sports fan is certainly one of the most fortunate in the world. And in addition to all the spectator sports, just look at the participation sports . . . bowling, tennis, golf, etc. And at least at this writing, the weather has been good enough to enjoy just about anything you wanted. Following this writing, this writer is leaving for another week of his vacation into the sunny southlands. The warmer climes of Arizona are beckoning, and if all goes right and the 8 cylinders all perform as expected, we'll be basking at some warm poolside as you read this. Actually, this is not the season to visit Arizona, rhe best time, from past experience, to visit Arizona is in January or February when you can leave cold and slush and get into 70 to 80 degree temperatures. We're going to be interested in the Arizona-NeMexico football game in Tucson. Well also be interested to see if the crowds are still as large in the Tempe stadium as they were a few years ago when we followed BYU onto the Arizona State turf. We wonder why the Arizonans can consistently fill their stadiums to 25 and capacity, and Utahns have to work so hard to set a record of better r.;: Members of the Utah Chapter, National Defense Transportation Association were guests of looele Army Depot last Friday evening for their monthly dinner meeting.

He located first in Salt Lake City, then Huntsville receiving in 1871 the contract to carry mail from Stockton to Ophir, 32 miles daily. In Ophir he raised a family of 16. In the same history Mary Helen Parsons says he kept 12 donkeys and one mule to carry water, food and mining equipment to the men in the mountains. The Bithell boys were up at four o'clock placing the packs on the donkeys and balancing them securely before their days venture up a hill named from the bobcat or mountain lions which roamed the area. The whine and growl of the animals up on Lions Hill could be heard in the eve nings by the villagers below.
