' FIGURES RELEASED of charges against relief clients accused of failing to accept work offered them while allowing the public welfare department to care for their dependents, the offense of wilful failure to provide was the most frequent recorded. Fourteen such complaints were issued, although seven of them were later dismissed. The charge for which the second largest number of complaints were issued was violation of the Utah state liquor control act. Thirteen of these complaints were filed. ' Traffic violations figured frequently in court procedure, a summary of complaints filed for that type of offense being as follows: Reckless driving, 11; driving while under the influence of liquor, 8; failing to stop after an accident, 2.

Action Qf the business organization board of directors was prompted, according to those favoring it, by a de4 sire for improved government consequent better citizenship. Chambers of Commerce in other Utah cities are to be requested to join in a move to secure volunteer funds to conduct such an investigation, each to be asked to secure subscriptions in proportion to the population of the community they serve. Members of the county commission, William A. Engle and Orvel Peterson, and Mayor J. Bracken Lee, a chamber director, were among those in attendance at the meeting for the purpose of advocating attendance of a large Price delegation at a meeting at Loa, Wayne county, held on Wednesday for the purpose of endeavoring to secure improvement of the highway between that point and Emery. This would open up to greater travel in the direction of Carbon county as a shopping center a considerable trade area, a move highly favored by the people of Wayne county. Senator Silas E. Tanner of Wayne county has taken a leading part in championing the proposed highway improvement. Members of the state road commission were to be in attendance at the Loa meeting. The organization voted favorable action supporting a pedestrian underpass under the D. & R. G. tracks on Carbon avenue. NUMBER 27 DANGER OF A NEW Here are shown the members of the new superintendency of the Price L. D. S. ward Sunday school. They are as follows:.. Upper left, Ace L. Boulter, superintendent; upper right. Dr. Bliss L. Finlayson, first counselor; lower, Eddie Isaacson, second counselor. Their positions are responsible ones, for the Sunday school of the Price ward is one ef the largest units within the entire L. D. S. church. Number Of Vehicles ' In County Increases Automobile dealers of Carbon county apparently have been enjoying an excellent volume of business. At least, this is the conclusion which may be gained from the fact that the number of motor vehicles assessed in the county increased by approximately 400 over the previous year. The county collected taxes on 3828 vehicles this year as compared with 3432 in 1936, according to a report issued this week by County Clerk B. This represents an inH. Young. crease of about 11.5 per cent. J. B. Jewkes, district agricultural inspector, reported this week that the outbreak of sugar beet web worms in the Price district has been virtually cleared up, but he issued a warning that additional trouble may be caused by the pest in August when the third generation hatches. Most of the worms which have infested gardens and beet fields during the past two weeks have died, although many of them have crawled into the ground, where they will go into dormant state for a couple of weeks. They will then emerge as moths, and the worms then hatched by this insect next month will again prove a threat to crops, Mr. Jewkes explained. According to information issued by the Utah pest control commission, it is usually the third generation that causes the greatest damage to sugar beets, although Mr. Jewkes reported that this has not been the case in Carbon county in the past. He urges all growers to be prepared for another outbreak next month and to take immediate steps to kill the worms. Fall plowing of beet land and fall discing of alfalfa are good practices in control, Mr. Jewkes said. He also recommends that all weeds on which worms feed be destroyed.

A committee consisting of Arthur S. Horsley, J. Bracken Lee and A. E. Gibson was appointed to draft letters to proper state authorities concerning the proposal. It was pointed out at the business organization session Tuesday that such an investigation had been authorized by the legislators and the governor empowered to carry out that desire by appointment of a committee of representative citizens, also that such a committee had been named. However, no appropriation was made' to carry on the investigation and as a consequence the only publicly reported aftermath was publication of a photograph of the group in a Salt Lake City daily newspaper, a picture taken at probably the only session ever held by the committee- E 8, 1937 Willingness To Help Raise Funds To Finish Investigation Of Political Bureaus Expressed By Commerce Body 2:30 p. m. on Tuesday, and will STREETS OILED IN PARK SECTOR BY PRICE CITY JULY Probe Of State Departments so assisting. com-lete- d.

No serious damage was done at either place, the lightning merely causing the electric wiring to burn. The alarms were answered by the Price fire department within the space of a few minutes, shortly after 5:00 p .m. Lightning struck the municipal back of East Main power street about 5:30 p. m., burning out a transformer and depriving Price residents of electric current. The entire city was plunged into darkness for a time, and portions of the community were without lights for several hours due to the fact that the remaining transformers could not carry the power load. sub-stati- on Business establishments were re- quested to darken their Neon signs during the time the city electric department was attempting to restore power service to normal. Candles, long unused, were pressed into service in homes and business houses. Electrically operated clocks failed to function, confusing those persons who depend on that type of timepiece. Rain, starting late Tuesday afternoon drenched the city thoroughly, freshening lawns and gardens and bringing cooling relief from the sultry warmth that earlier had caused discomfort. The downpour was accompanied by loud peals of thunder and frequent flashes of lightning. Motorists, whose independent car lighting systems were not affected by the storm, somewhat enjoyed the period of darkness. For once they were not required to observe the traffic lights at the Carbon avenue and First West intersections on Main street. To Furnish Pickers A requisition for the employment of 100 berry pickers for duty in Utah county was received by the Price office of the national reemployment service this week from the Provo office. According to Manager Walter D. Daugherty, district N. R. S. manager, the pickers are desired immediately, and all those interested in accepting the positions are asked to contact the local reemployment office on South Carbon avenue. PROSPERITY PLAN TO INSTALL GRATUITIES A board of directors meeting of the United Prosperity Plan Incorporated, was held in Price on July 1, when members voted that a concession be arranged to build a gratuity for the club. This will probably be sponsored on July 24. At present there are 125 members of the organization, and five are on the gratuity roll. A meeting routine is also being scheduled for speakers to discuss the plan in surrounding, communities. R-ic-e TYPICAL PIONEER DAY CELEBRATION TO BE HELD HERE Homecoming Of Former Church Officials, Pioneers Anticipated Plans are fast taking shape for Prices Pioneer day celebration on July 24. One highlight of the ob-- p servance will be the probable fete, arranged to extend over Sunday, July 25, when former church officials and pioneers will be honored guests at meetings held in the tabernacle. VV. E. Stoker of Salt Lake City, former bishop of the L. D. S. church here, will be guest speaker at a Fio- neer program to be held in the city park Saturday morning. Other fea- -j tured renditions will be musical se- home-comi- ng lections. The sunrise on Saturday will be greeted with a band serenade in place of the usual explosive salutes. Typical selections will be played. In the populace may view a parade, which is expected to be appropriately attractive with floats bearing significant themes. Numerous organizations in this county and Emery have expressed their intentions of entering into this phase of the celebration. Youngsters wishing to adorn wagons and bicycles for the event are cordially invited to do so. Following the parade, the park program is to be held. At noon those desiring to eat luncheon on the lawn will have that opportunity. The early afternoon will be devoted to sports. One of the most impressive of the days events will be a pioneer pageant to be presented in a dell at Pioneer Evergreen park in north Price. Trees and shrubs before the shaggy hill will afford a striking background for the scenes, completing the days program. mid-morni- ng SUPREME DICTATOR GREETED BY MOOSE Lodge Initiates Class Of Nine Candidates In Honor Of Visiting Official Supreme Dictator William Anderson of the Loyal Order of Moose paid an official visitation to Helper lodge No. 1659 Tuesday evening. This event was an important one In the annals of the Carbon county organization, inasmuch as it marked the first time that the leading official of the Moose order has visited the Helper unit. Mr. Anderson, whose headquarters are in Indianapolis, addressed the lodge, explaining the work and accomplishments of the Moose and discussing the principles, aims and objectives of the order. A class of nine candidates was Tuesday evening in honor of the visiting official. Mr. Anderson was a visitor in Price Tuesday on business connected with the organization of a new lodge here. He came to Carbon county from Grand Junction, and from Helper he went to Salt Lake City Tuesday evening. ini-at- ed Plans Take Shape For Annual Price Swimming School Record Registration For Course Predicted By Supervisor Of Municipal Pool Plans for the annual observance of Swim week to be held at the municipal pool in August are progressing and it is expected the attendance will be the largest in the history of the event, Associate Supervisor Clark Wright announced this week. The increased interest shown in aquatic sports this year is regarded as an indication that a record number will enroll for the life saving and swimming instruction to be offered free to both adults and children. Those successful in passing the required tests will receive Red Cross emblems and certificates as in past years. The date for Swim week will be announced in the near future, along with the program of events and the requirements for passing the tests arranged by the American Red Cross. Plans were recently launched to arrange free transportation for children in mining communities who wish to take advantage of the instruction to be offered during the week. This will be a factor in increasing the |
