Railroad Crossing In Price Probably Worst To Be Found In State Survey Of College tr.a a!t3 ' HIllJK NUMBER 14 Price still bears the distinction, nd that in all its variations, of having what is probably the poorest railroad crossing in the state Utah, that at the point where Carbon avenue passes over the Denver & Rio Grande railroad tracks. That is probably the roughest crossing to be found anywhere on any railroad system, one which has existed for many months and which calls for action at an early date. The community should not be hesitant in its demand that the Carbon crossing be Placed In condition for motor travel on a modern basis at least, snd that at an early date.

Leading: Singers To Appear In Opera Slated Countys Contest With Seniors In Close Race Price received added prestige as the states leading convention city Saturday when men of the fez took possession of this community during the annual spring ceremonial of El Kalah temple of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The conclave was wholeheartedly acclaimed by hundreds of visiting Shriners as one of the most success- in temples history, Combining the spirit of hospitality for which this city is famous with the Shrine proclivities for the atmosphere of festivity pervading Price was more pronounced than it had ever been before. The gaiety that enveloped the town was not confined to the Shriners alone, for every Carbon county resident who came in contact with the nobles captured the jollity and liveliness that was apparent as soon as the special train, bringing Shriners from Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo and other cities, reached Price. Several thousand people lined Main street to witness the spectacular parade featuring a drill by the polished Shrine patrol and a concert by the famous temple band. The impressiveness of the street performance was not lessened by the sheer fun and nonsense in which the merry Shriners indulged. The rollicking, capricious antics by the clowns who formed a sizeable portion of the delegation furnished a continual round of entertainment for the spectators, as well as some anxious moments for those who found bombs exploding underfoot, those who were unceremoniously yanked from the crowd and rushed into a dance, and others who were the objects of the practical jokes played by that blithesome band of 3 Days Next Week Entertainment of outstanding quality awaits music lovers of Carbon and Emery counties next week when or ivities.
