Show City trucks to Join Clean-U- p Price City residents are reminded that beginning May until May 27, city trucks will be made available to collect tree trimmings and other debris placed on the curbs. Yard cleaners are urged to keep grass and shrub trimmings out of the gutters. If these are placed in disposable containers and set on the curbs the trucks will remove them during the periodic rounds of the streets. Those who go at their trees with a vengeance should remember that the branches must be cut into sizes that can be handled by manpower. This will include only trimmings from shade trees. Trimmings from entire orchards will be passed and the owner will have to find other means of disposal. Small trimmings not containerized also will be left behind. service on May 5 City trucks will begin this pick-u- p starting at Ninth North and then will move southward on subsequent days as quickly as possible. Any tree trimmings accumulated after May 27 will be the responsibility of the property owner for removal. 5 THE THE SCRIBBLER Weeks cheap The mayor of another city has proclaimed a Day in honor of the opening of a new office building. Critics say this is improper. The proclamation, they contend, is commercial and thereby cheapens all proclamations. The critics are right. They could, however, go much further. Mayoralty have proclamations cheapened themselves, commercial or otherwise, simply by proliferation. Mayors proclaim days or weeks in honor of motherhood, donuts, pickles, safety, veterans, wheat, citrus, fire prevention and funds for everything from cancer research to zoos. The result is a public Hardly a week goes by that someone doesnt call or come rushing in with a request to take a picture of the mayor signing another proclamation proclaiming this or that week. Needless to say a weekly picture of genial Mayor Murray Mathis signing another proclamation would very soon get little more than a The mayors proclamation is in the same category with that other moldy nonsense, the cheaply awarded plaque or certificate of appreciation. These usually come from g civic or groups to newspapers, radio stations, advertisers and any other group to whom the chairman is too busy or too lazy to write a personal note of thanks. They also go to veteran employees or super salesmen to whom the boss is too cheap to give a pension or wristwatch. Ours is a nation of press agents. One would think that with all the highly-toute- d talent involved in promotions, the geniuses would recognize that d proclamations and plaques are drugs in an market. weeks a year arent even enough to house Fifty-tw- o all the special weeks. All too often a week may end up being both National Dill Pickle week and Be Kind to Animals week. Sometime we hope some kind press agent will see fit to get each mayor of the land to declare a national week that Isnt Declared Anything. Then the world will be spared another proclamation that is just the same as 51 others except for the names and places. Without special week proclamations, whereas might disappear from the English language, but the loss would not be a great one. Were waiting for that Week that Isnt Declared Anything. It'll be our favorite week of the year. ; ho-hu- , OF UTAH'S CASTLE GIVEAWAYS . in Columbia. Phone .

The final vote was 329 for the ordinance and 263 against. The ordinance, passed by the city council on January 23, grants Mountain Fuel Supply Co. a franchise for the construction and operation of a gas distribution system in the city of Helper. A referendum petition was fi'ed on February 20 by citizens opposing the action making it subject to veter approval. The voter approval carried in all three precincts in the city, the narrowest margin being in Northwest Helper where the vote waS 136 for and 124 against. The final tally in East Helper was 129 for and 103 against and in West Helper it was '64 for and 36 against. Only about half of the 1252 qualified voters turned out to' cast their ballot on the issue. The favorable vote in the referendum confirms the action of the city council and opens the way for Mountain Fuel Supply to begin construction of the gas distribution system in the near fu- ture. The companys line now extends along the Price-Helphighway to a point in Carbon-vill- e approximately three miles north of Price. The extension of service to Helper now will make natural gas available to Spring Glen also as the gas company included this area in its survey of potential customers last fall. The company is expected to take advantage of the warm weather months immediately ahead to begin installing the distribution system in the communities.

Chamberlain Psychologist Most of us, probably all of us, take drugs from time to time for medical reasons. We take aspirin for a headache or a cold. Heart patients take digitalis. People with peptic ulcers take antacids. Drugs are chemicals that act on the bodys own chemistry. Sometimes, like insulin, they substitute for chemicals the body doesnt produce for itself. Frequently they help fight infections or improve functions by stepping up or slowing down the activity of glands and organs. Drugs promote and help preserve good health, when they are taken on the advice of a physician or, in the case of drugs, according to directions on son, the effect of a given amount of a given drug will vary from time to time. One category of drugs is the narcotics, or pain killers, which come from the opium poppy. This group includes such things as heroin, codeine and morphine. of them have a proper place in the the legitimate medical treatment of both physical and mental illness.

The general public is invited to this panel discussion. Both the afternoon work shop and the evening program will be given without charge, through the local mental health chapter in conjunction with the Bell Ringers Fund Raising Campaign. K But today we are concerned about drug abuse, which means taking a drug for any purpose other than treating a particular medical condition. Drug abuse can injure vital parts of the body, including the liver, kidneys, heart or brain. Abuse of certain of them also can lead to dependence. There are four categories of drugs that are most often abused. These categories are not listed in any particular order. They are separated by their characteristics. All drugs are harmful if used to excess. And the effect of any drug on any person depends on a great many factors the potency of the drug, the frequency with which its taken, the amount taken at one time, the characteristics of the user, including physical condition, inherent biological make-u- p and his mental and emotional balance at the time he takes the drug.

Prior to the seizure, Joe Santi, theatre operator, was charged in a complaint signed by Chief of Police Bob Williams accusing Mr. Santi with willfully exhibiting an obscene motion picture. The cbmplaint was prepared by County Attorney Dan Keller at the behest of Mayor Murray ' Mathis who stated he had received complaints from a number of people i sking that the film presentation be stopped. The complaint cited violation of a state statute. Mr. Santi was summoned to appear in the city court Friday which he did on his own behalf. His attorney, Phil Hansen, of Salt Lake City, was unable to be present. At that time, Mr. Santi entered a plea of not guilty to the charge and volunteered to the film if the court or county attorney requested,. it.

VALLEY Price, Carbon County, Utah, Thursday, May 1, 1969 16 Pages Volume 78 Pershing downed In flight The second of two Pershing missiles launched Tuesday from Black Mesa near Blanding was cut down in flight by White Sands Missile Range safety personnel because of a malfunction. The first missile impacted successfully at White Sands. The two missiles were launched by units of the Federal Republic of Germany Air Forces, the first at 10:55 a.m. and the second at noon. Components of the second missile fell in an uninhabited area approximately 22 miles east of the town of Bluff. There have been no reports of damage to personnel or property. The likelihood of such damage is considered remote because of the extremely low population density of the area in which the debris fell. Recovery crews are working the area in helicopters to recover all components. An official investigation has beeji initiated by the commanding general at White Sands to determine the cause of the missile malfunction. The two missiles were the 5lh and sixth rounds fired in the spring series. This series began early in April with two rounds fired by the German troops. The final two rounds in the series are scheduled to be fired next month by units of the 7th U. S. Army.

He suggested that the commission be (ncouragid to establish a truck route as one means of alleviating the traffic problems along the c.ty's Main Street. Somewhere during the exchange, apparently the motives of the de'egation were misinterpreted by Mayor Mathis who responded that the c.tv council cannot speak for all nts on this particular issiv, his interpretation of the request w is to the effect that the de'eeation was a'tempting to y halt any bypass considerare-.i- com-rle'e- tions. This was followed by a mere hrved d'seu'-sioas one of the de'egates questioned the mavers statement as to the governing body's authority in speaking for the city as a whole, adding that as elected officials they were the spokesmen for the city. After making clear the de'cea-t'on- s request was to seek a delay and not complete abandonment of the project. Councilman Mack Budge mo ed that the city coop erate in seeking completion "of the highways previously mentioned before the bypass is commenced. Tlie motion was seconded by Ce mmissioner Guido Rachiele and passed with the affirmative vote of Councilman Harold Patterick with the concurrence of Mayor Mathis. Also included in the motion was the request that the State Highway Commission be asked to extend the Jimit in which testimony could be placed into the record of a public Ik a ring on this matter held April ten-da- y 21. The delay request as well as the request for an extension of time to record testimony was sent to the state department Tuesday. In the meantime. City Recorder Ken Massey called the road commission and was assured that the time limit for entering testimony into the record would be extended for ten days. This will afford adequate time for the businessmen concerned in seeking the delay to prepare and transmit additional information to become a part of the record. |
