Within a year the Chieftain had a competitor called the Myton Free Press and Ivoth staged a tierce rivalry for a short period in the then busiiing, thriving, growing, and hupetul city of My ion. which was the largest city in the east Wasatch county. Interestingly enough, the Chieftain was named that as a game with a newspaper published in Vernal called the Papoose-- . In 191 still a third newspaper started in Duchesne, called the Duchesne Record. By I VI 4 the Myton newspapers had a rival in Roosevelt called the Standard. To say that these papers were rivals is to put in mildly, one 1915 edition of the Record called the publisher of the Roosevelt Standard "Mr. Editor of the socialist hot-ai- r shed" who is "now under 1 In order to prevent a shortage in the city, officials suggest that sprinkling of bwns be done only between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. They also suggest that homes with even numbers (house numbers! sprinkle on even numbered days, and house with odd numbers sprinkle on odd numbered days. It is suggested also that every effort be made to conserve water wherever possible. Duchesne City seeks fairground funding Duchesne city is seeking S43.750 from the Four Corners Commission in the form of a grant in order to repair and upgrade the fair grounds in Duchesne according to Mayor Dale Workman. Mayor Workman said the city has made the aplication but he said there is no firm date when the aplication will be approved or rejected. The grant money is available under the Title 10 federal program which provides funds for labor oriented progarns. The Uintah Basin Association of Governments helped to prepare the application.

With the springs feeding the Roosevelt Municipal water supply at their seasonal low, city officials are urging residents to use caution in the use of the water for the next few weeks. Due to the dry season last year, the springs are lower than usual for May, and will probably not begin increasing their flow until toward the end of May when the runoff from the mountain begins. late, cold spring is keeping water in the mountains, and should fill storage reservoirs os the weather warms.

One person Jeff Womack, a passenger in the car is in fair condition in a Salt Lake City hospital. DEATH--Tw- o Two youths escape crash death Two Arcadia youths narrowly escaped death in a one car accident near Mt. Emmons last week. The 1969 Olds Cutlass was traveling at high speed when it was unable to negotiate a turn in the road. The driver Larry Boyd Frcston lost control of the car and it plowed into a power pole shearing it off. then hit a telephone pole also breaking it off. . fhe first impact tore off the front of the car. After hitting the second pole the car flew through the air a distance of 7b feet before coming to rest against a barb wire fence. The Frcston bov rccicved cuts and bruises, his passenger. Jeff W. Womack was thrown from thr car and sustained a broken jaw, broken legs, ankles, arms and cuts and bruises. Officer Joe Bennett of the Utah Highway Patrol investigated the accident assisted by Clair Poulson, Spencer Redmond and Scon Cowan. Fred Goodheu and Catholic Father Michael Winter of the jeep patrol gave emergency first aid at the scene and arc credited with saving the Womack boy's life. Preston was treated and released from the Duchesne County Hospital. Womack wav transported to St. Marks Hospital in Salt Lake City for treatment and is now lisicd in fair condition. niurgagc to the bunk at Vernal." That particular dispute came about when the Roosevelt publishers cut their job printing charges to the public and offered a subscription to a daily Colorado newspaper with the purchase of the Standard subscriptions. The Free Press lasted on into 1916 and the Record moved over to Duchesne city, the county scat of the new Duchesne county about 1915. In 1922 the Duchesne Courier came into existence as sucessor to the record in Duchesne city and lasted until 1931 when a new owner renamed it the Uintah Basin Rcconl. That lasted on into the 1950's and was reviewed in 19t6and 1967. The year 1966 also saw the publication of the Duchesne Eagle out of Duchesne city. It folded in about a year. But it is advertising that pays for a new spa per and slowly each of the Myton and Duchesne city newspapers folded, leaving behind them a few debts and proud histories of journalistic endeavors. Include canned beef in charity programs The American National Cattlemen's Association has proposed a solid solut ion to the pressing world wide problem of hunger, according to JiMar Monroe of Scipio, Utah, president of the Utah Cattlemen's Association. Monroe said ANCA, the national organization representing 200,000 American cattlemen, has proposed religious and charitable organizations include canned beef in their food distribution program. ANCA has contacted all of the mai.'i food church and relief group organizations, noted Monroe. They were urged to consider the use of surplus beef in their program because beef is in large supply and is currently a nutritional bargain. "Beef ran be particularly worthwhile in times of grain shortage such as we now have. He said ANCA explained the use of protein by humans depends on the balance of amino acids in the total diet. It is necessary to have high quality protein, like that in beef, in order to supplement and most fully use the available protein in grain. The boned and lean meat in cooked beef contains 25 to 30 percent all completely useable by protein-alnius- t the human body. On the other hand, corn contains only eight percent protein, and. al best, even when the rorn is supplemented by meat, only 60 percent or less is usable, Monroe pointed out. For adults, the minimum average daily protein requirements is about 40 grams. As an example of diet balancing. Dr. Dennis White of ANCA says two ounces of canned beef and 1.2 pounds of corn would supply minimum daily needs for protein, plus 2000 calories of energy. The cost of llie beef would be 10 cents; the corn, another 6 cents, or a total of 16 rents. If corn alone was used, it would take iwo pounds, at 10 to 11 cents per day; but no amount of corn alone provides the balanced intake of amino acids needed to sustain life." Monroe continued. He said this is why ANCA has asked t tie religious and food distribution organizations to use canned beef in economically meeting world food needs. A combination of beef and other foods is feasible when nutritional economics is considered. have Several groups religious ANCA to the suggestion and responded replied they are looking into the possibility of including beef in food programs." he said. Observing it makes good sense to use food resources when they are abundant, Monroe said, "With today's low cattle prices, beef is even more of a nutritional value than ever. And canned beef would not be subject to spoilage and rodent lossi-associated with grain." s |
