Im not that old! These and a lot of other thoughts went through my mind the other day when I noticed an advertisement in a metropolitan newspaper that suggested that the 40s be recalled with purchase of certain dresses offered by a major department store. Talking about the 30s is one thing, but the 40s is something else. After all, I told myself, I was in high school during the early 40s and surely that wasnt so long ago. I was just about to convince myself that the 40s werent really so long ago when I came across further proof that I may be the victim of my own generation gap. Noticing that Fred Astaire is dancing through another film isnt so hard to take, but being told that Astaire is 68 is something else again. Speaking of movies, I can even remember when everybody went to the movies once a week. That, really dates me with the kids. They can understand watching a TV scries each week, but going to the movies that often is something else. inflation We "old timers also remember when meant that right front tire needed air and demonstration meant that the vacuum cleaner salesman was coming to the house that evening. Things do change. When we were kids the fact that a bunch of kids were parading in the street meant that the local school had finally won a football game after going a season or two without tasting victory. But time does change things and so does location. This was apparent last week with the introduction of . ... new cars. The first day new cars were shown were "big days in the midwest town where I was if nightfall came and just werent anybody admit that you hadnt been down to sec the models of among the raised. You you had to new super-dupe- r that year. One of the chief status signs of the day was being the first to drive away in the newest model. And many was the time we talked about how glad wed be if we could look over a new model and not have at least one salesman from each dealership call us for days and days to see if we didnt want one of the new models. It is tough getting people excited about anything these days, and many feel new car showing day is just another blah day . . . That is if the mortgage on the old flivver hasnt expired. If it has, they beat a steady path to the door of a dealer because, good heavens, we cant live without car payments. rlf And another worthy project for consideration this Saturday, this time for the young boys in our community, will be the raffle ticket sale by the players in the American League, WBBA.

This order came from the judge viewed the film in a private showing Friday afternoon at the Price Theater arranged by County Attorney Dan Keller and Sheriff Albert Passic. After viewing the film Judge Platis ruled that it was not obscene under the constitutional definition of that word. The film was seized by Sheriff Passic and Chief of Police Bob Williams April 29 after they had obtained an order of seizure from Judge Platis based upon an affidavit signed by Sheriff Passic who had previously seen the film in a Salt Lake City theater. Sheriff Passic affirmed that in his opinion the film was obscene.

Effective May 13, this department will be known as the Department of Social Services, and Division of Family Services. Personal property limitations have been increased from $400 to $600 for single persons and from $800 to $1200 for families, meaning that those people having the higher amounts of personal property may still qualify for welfare assistance. Another great change was the regionalization of the welfare department, which became effecon May 1.

In the letter, the city officials recommend that inasmuch as the commission is not committed to any particular route as yet that consideration be given to routing the highway along the Price River through Famum and Mounds merging with Highway 59-- in the Icelander area. This would place the highway in closer proximity to the community. The letter cites the various businesses in Wellington which probably would be forced to close if the highway were taken out of the community or a great distance away. We are asking the people of Carbon County to join with us and write to the State Road Commission, Room 603, State Office Building, Salt Lake City, the letter concluded. in , ' i i lolt and Edd R. Bailey, r Mr. Fiory 21, Wellington. reportedly had pocketed a .38 caliber automatic and gone looking for Mr. Rich. He returned shortly thereafter and, according to Mrs. Fiory, retired to the upstairs room. However, the gun was found on an end table in the downstairs bedroom behind the club indicating to investigators that the shot was inflicted there, the gun left on the table before Mr. Fiory went upstairs. The gun contained one spent cartridge. Mrs. Fiory told officers she did not hear the gun discharge and knew of the shooting only after Mr. Fiory called her telling her to come upstairs because he had shot himself.

Mr. Florys clothing and the gun, along with the spent cartridge and bullet taken from the body, have been forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The two railroads have joined forces in providing unit-trai- n movement of coal from Carbon County to the Pacific Coast for export. The concept has been tested since April 12 and the dedicatory program in June is the' result of the success in this operation.

Mr. Fiory and his wife operate the El Rey Club at Wellington in which building also are located the couples living quarters. According to Deputy McCourt, he was called to the club at 12:35 Sunday morning to investigate a shooting incident. Upon his arrival he was directed to the upstairs apartment where Mr. Fiory was lying on a bed in a pool of blood. At that time he could find no evidence of a shot and surmised that the man was suffering from some other ailment. An ambulance was called and Mr. Fiory was taken to Carbon Hospital where examination by the attending physician revealed that he had been shot.

The United States government, realizing that these drugs had become such a problem, passed the HR2 law, which went into effect February 1, 1966. (The first arrest made under this law was at Salt Lake City the day this Act went into effect.) , The Utah State Legislature passed a similar law which became effective May of 1967. In fSome respects it was a better law than the federal, particularly on possession. The federal investigators have been so convinced that the problem is such a tremendous one that all violations which were formerly misdemeanors since October 24, 1968, have now become felonies. Under present state law, the first offense for such violations is an indictable misdemeanor carrying up to one year in jail and or $1,000 fine. The second offense is classed as a felony with a three-yea- r sentence. Unlawful sale to juveniles is also a felony. - case work supervisor for the five social service workers here, and Carmen Clark, a case worker in Emery County, will move to Price to be an assistance payments worker.

Stimulants are in On the local scene, these drugs have taken a great deal of pressure from the narcotics. Although some authorities have claimed the stimulants not to be addicting, many authoritative tests have shown them to be so. The depressants or barbiturates are dangerous on withdrawal, could even cause spasms, convulsions and often death. The hard core narcotic addicts have found that by mixing them with heavy narcotics or heroin they can use only half the amount of narcotics and half barbiturates to give them more of a euphoria or kick than the equal amount straight narcotics. The problem in our area seems mostly with the young people on speed and many, particularly women stemming from obesity programs in which erf 4 ... STATE ENFORCEMENT Guy W.

They are prescribed to be taken in the morning and at noon and then at night they must take a depressant or barbiturate so they can sleep. After a certain period of time, the patient becomes more dependent upon the drugs and is more interested in obtaining the drugs than in losing weight. General abuse on speed is the obtain-in- g of the pills and then dissolving and then shooting them into the vein.
