Replied the Carson City mayor, when we have our celebrations now, we have a special part of the parade for the Indians, and its usually the most colorful part. They have added to, and improved, such celebrations, and increased the attraction to tourists and 'visitors. The mayor reported that of 500 Indians at the school at Stewart, just two and one-halmiles from Carson City, 150 were Navajos. These could not be understood as easily as Indians from the other nations, at first, he said, but after they were graduated from the school a lot of them had gone on to Carson City high school, had played on football and basketball teams, and become good students, well he accepted. We like them, declared. As for discipline and the police problem, the Indians had brought no additional police problem to the community. Nobody left town when the Indian school was brought here, the Nevada mayor reported. Everybody js happy about having the school here. It has become a welcome part of our community. The Lions club has invited the Indians in to put on special programs at their club meetings, and others have called upon them in various capacities. They are taking their place in the community, and everyone feels quite good about their being here. Mann asked, If you had it to do over again, would you welcome the Indian school to your town, or would you want to avoid it? Most emphatically we would welcome it, the mayor replied. We are very proud of the Indian school, and consider it a great asset to the community, in every way in which we are affected. The Carson City mayor said that if Brigham City wished to send a delegation to Carson City to check up on the Indian school and its effect on the community, he would welcome them and personally would takq them through the school and do whatever he could to give them a true picture of what it meant to the community. i our long corver .alien, I couldnt find a thing I could trip him up on, there wasnt a way In which I could state a question that would make him say anything bad about the Indian school," Mann said.

Mason Unless the 1919 March of Dimes is the most successful in our history, raising far more funds than ever before, there is gae danger pither that the National Foundations vital research program or its patient-carprogram one or the other will have to be curtailed, that's the warning issued in the December issue of the National Foundation News by President Basil O'Connor. Box Elder county will be asked to give and give again when the drive starts the 14th of this month. Ray Reese, of Brigham City, is, the county chairman of the drive and every individuals cooperation with liberal gifts is greatly needed. Everyone in the county will be asked to give in a number of ways. Dont overlook the dime boxes which will be placed in the stores of Brigham City soon. People living in the smaller communities of the with county will be contacted donation cards sent through the mail. Anyone wishing to make a special donation may do so by sending it to March of Dimes in care of Ray Rees, Post office Box 492, Brigham City. Where does your money go and what does it do? First of all the money collected is split into three channels. Part goes to the National Foundation to be used in research and also is held in a central fund to be allocated to strickened areas. Another portion Is sent to the state central committee. This money is used to shift around for dif fcrnt portions of the state that need assistance. For instance this year Ogden received assistance from both the national and state funds during their The epidemic of poliomyelitis. remainder Is held in the counties for use in assisting families who have children afflicted with the disease. Your money is put to a worthwhile purpose and this year your contribution is needed more than ever. Where the disease will strike is anybodys guess. It might be your house. The National Foundation is a means of cooperating in order to speed up the re search of the disease or find a You can do your preventative. part by contributing as much as you can to this years March , A change in postmasters for the Brigham City post office was indicated in a story, under Washington dateline, in Tuesday's issue of the Salt Lake Tribune. The story, by the Tribunes Washington bureau, stated than seven Utah postmasters, originally nominated by President Hairy S. Truman during the last session of congress, and who failed of confirmation, are expected to be sent back to the senate, with every prospect that they will be speedily committed. Included in the list was C. Henry Nielsen as postmaster of the Brigham City post office. Others were Riley W. Goodfel-low- , Bountiful; Ted R. Mower, Claude M. Glazier, Fairview; Andrew' W. Swenson, Kanab; Kanosh; John T. Adams, Tooele, and Edward W. Vendcll, Ogden. All failed to be confirmed following appointment by the president last year when the Republican senate refused, confirmation of hundreds of Truman appointments, in the expectation that the Republicans would sweep the November elections. By withholding their agreement until after the first of the year, the senate obviously intended that Republican appointments would be submitted in place of these Democratic appointments. Ward Sworn In, The town, and its electric power system, have grown to be just too big to continue the old custom of throwing the master switch end turning oif all lights at midnight, on New Year's eve. Some of the citizens of Brigham City have called inquiring why ihe lights were not tlashed out for a few seconds at the turning of the year," Mayor Lorenzo J. Bolt related this week. The heating of hundreds of homes, cooking and refrigeration, eic depend upon electric energy. The electric power delivered to our city is controlled by several automatic switches. Pulling the master off all switch and cutting power from the city would involve too great a risk in relying on all automatic switches to lunctoa properly, in going back into operation. Should any of these automatic devices fail to operate, the city would be without power until such devices could be reached and made to function properly. "Our city electrician advises against taking such unnecessary risk," ihe mayor said. Sorry.
