NUMBER 42 UTAH THURSDAY 84066 Red Hat days; Doe Days, refreshment Something a little different is being planned by the merchant's committee of of Chamber Area Roosevelt the Commerce this week, in connection with the annual deer hunt. They plan to have "Red Hat" days Thursday and Friday of this week, to provide last minute supplies and equipment for the hunters at bargain prices. Then on Saturday, it will be Doe Days", with the red carpet being rolled out for the ladies of the area who have been left at home while the men are in the Deadline set on funds for housing Residents of Roosevelt, who feel they might qualify for the financial assistance e which has been allocated to for substandard homes, particularly families, are asked to submit applications within the next two weeks. A final decision on distribution of the funds received by the city for this purpose will be made at that time. The city received a grant of $3,612, and it is to be used for rehabilitation of d single-familhouses. The amount for which any family can apply is dependant upon the number of members in the famOy, and the amount of income the family receives. The grant money can be used for major repairs on a home, for minor repairs such a new hot water heater, new as bathroom fixtures, new furnace or space heater, or it may help replace a roof. The funds cannot be used to purchase g personal property, such as ranges or refrigerators. Some installed appliances may be considered, depending on the circumstances. The Roosevelt Housing Authority will act on the applications and distribute the monies. Further information, or application forms can be obtained from the Roosevelt city offices. There will be special sales throughout most of the stores of the community, with inviting prices for the fairer shoppers. Although actual hunting sales began last weekend, the Red Hat Days specials will continue through this Friday evening. Arrangements have been made with KVEL Radio to set up a location at the Chamber office in Roosevelt from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Friday in order to key in on the hunter activities of the area. As an added feature, the Chamber is planning a Hunters Refreshment Stop next to the chamber office for all day Thursday (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and all day Friday (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) Hunters going through, as well as local hunters in town for supplies, are invited to stop by for coffee or hot chocolate and donuts. And Doe Days is another new addition. Things should be alot quieter in town Saturday, so it will be a good time for the ladies to do some leisurely shopping. Are you registered? So you are 18.

Did you hear about the fellow who grinds lenses, who moved to an island off Alaska? There he is known as an optical Aleutian. old n We learned this week that in the Bantam league football program in Duchesne, the decision has been made to leave the Dolphins and Roadrunners tied for first place. We reported last week that a run-of- f game would probably be needed. Anyway, it seems that the coaches have decided that both teams are champions, and it wouldn't really prove anything to have them meet one more have time. They played nearly ball this year, matched very closely, and both have a 4 win and 2 loss record. And as the coaches said, the most important thing is that the boys have had a chance to participate in the sport of football, and have learned a little about the game. One of the things you always worry about when these little guys take the field is the possibility of injury. Generally the games are just alot of grunting and groaning, a bruise here and there, and some sore muscles. Occasionally a boy gets hurt, like this year Todd Wilkerson received a broken arm in a game. It was unfortunate, but can happen. But even then most parents feel that the experience their boys get is worth the minute risk of any serious injury. We feel the little league programs are important in our communities, and compliment these people who spend their time and effort in working with these young even-steve- n people. I J LI 1 M As a couple left a party the wife was overheard asking her husband, "Did anyone ever tell you how fascinating, how romantic, how handsome you are?" Pleased, the husband answered, "No Dedication ceremonies planned for Roosevelt East Elementary school United States Senator, Wallace F. Bennett, will be guest speaker at the dedication program of the new Roosevelt East Elementary school, Wednesday October 23. Gordon Harmston, State director of National Resources will be a guest speaker for a program on the afternoon of the 23rd at 2 p.m. for students and teachers of the new facilities. At that :me he will also present a State flag to principal Dallas Murray, and the studentbody president American Legion Basin Post will present the colors and lead the pledge. During the evening program beginning at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium, Senator Bennett will present Mrs. Clarence Jones Auxiliary president, Unit 64 with a United States flag which was dear, I don't believe anyone ever did." Then the wife curtly replied, "Then where did you get the idea you are?" nn jn It seems that we have the same old us with again. As painters problem marked the lanes on the highway through town a couple of months ago, and again this week, they allowed for a west turn lane at the red light on the north end of Main street in Roosevelt, where the highway turns east. This was done last year also, until there was enough pressure applied to get it changed. Apparently this must be done again. The problem arises from the fact that the highway traffic turning the corner cannot safely negotiate the turn onto Main street with the west turn traffic, waiting for the light to change, jutting out into the intersection. The problem was solved last year by having only one land available for either a left turn or straight through. Since the road straight through is a dead end, there is little or no traffic going that way, and hence the need for only one land. This has been explained a number of times to traffic planners, and highway patrolmen have also called attention to the problem. But somewhere along the line the painters still insist on adding the unneeded turn lane, forcing long rigs nearly onto the sidewalk to negotiate the turn. Until the situation is corrected, we suggest that motorists ignore the left turn lane, approaching the semiphore on the straight through lane whether or not you plan to go on or turn. This gives the highway traffic another 12 feet or so in which to make the turn. In the meantime, lets do some checking and see if we can't gel that lane closed again. over the United States capital.
