Show EDITOR PARO)VAN TIMES NOSES AROUND CEDAR. The editor of tho Parowan Times spent a couple of days in Cedar re. contly, and ns a result the following items with others were given a very prominent position in the last issuo of that paper, under a Ccdnr City heading: head-ing: Alex IL Rollo, editor of the Times, wns seen about the town Friday and Saturday of last week, "and his many friends were pleased to see him looking look-ing so well. Come often Alex." Thomas Thorley is again thinking seriously of converting the basement of hiB show house into a dancing hall. Hope he docs, "because his building is much more safe for such purposes than any other in the town." Tho College authorities are putting up the bars against the "vulgar dancing danc-ing thnt lias been prevailing lately. It is now up to tho 'Ward Hall committee' com-mittee' to follow Buit after which we will again have legitimate and clean dances." (Superinduced by the fact that one of tho managers of the Ward Hall is a brother of the editor of The Record.) Miss Janet Rollo spent a couple of days in Parowan taking violin lessons from Prof. Leon L. Eckles. Miss Rollo is one of Prof. Eckles ndvanccd students und is getting quite proficient profic-ient on the violin. A seisuro of fiquor was made by Sheriff Corry Friday night by 'which he secured five cases of whisky. Two men of Cedar, one a married man, and tho other a young unmarried fellow, are accused of having brought the stuff from Milford. If tho Indies would but take hold of the mnttcr and work at it as enthusiastically enthus-iastically as they do at other things tho selling of liquor would come to a sudden stop in our town. Why not "have the men turn over this particular particu-lar part of their work to the ladies," and let's sco what they can do. (The men seem to be making very fair progress in tho matter. Why head them off and turn it over to the women? Can it be getting too strenuous stren-uous in certain quarters? Now if other towns of tho county would follow fol-low Cedar's example, and back up what we are doing here, both in tho matter of bootlegging and "vulgar dancing, as well, what a lot more good could be accomplished!) From reports "there has been a systematic business of bootlegging going on in Cedar for several mooths. 'The Sheriff now has his oyo upon somo fellows and they are being watched closely.' It appears that cheap liquor, costing not over ninety cents per bottle, has been brought to town and sold for $2.00 per bottle, a profit that is tempting to the bootleggers." (Cedar has certainly degenerated since the great uplifting influenco of tho editor of tho Times was withdrawn. with-drawn. It is nodoubt the only town in tho state where any bootlegging, illicit selling of liquor or drinking is indulged in. At least one would gain this impression from reading the Times. Wo will not harrow up tho past, but people acquainted with tho facts will recall tho splendid work of tho present editor of the Times in keeping his friends from falling into the clutches of the law. Notico tho cunning warning contained in one of tho above paragraphs, "The Shorlff now has his eye, etc.) "At last Cedar will havo what has been needed for some years-a swimming swim-ming pool." It will bo located in the gymnasium room of the Ward Hall and will bo an ideal pool for swimming swim-ming purposes, "rather small, but will do for tho present," and can be enlarged en-larged at any time. Tho boiler room for heating the water will bo located just west of tho building a few feet. (Cedar must certainly be n dirty town to huve delayed putting in a swimming pool for so long a time, but still we may yet bo ahead of somo of tho other towns of this locality. A pool only 20x50 feet is not very large, to bo sure, but it is considerably better bet-ter than none nt all, we think.) Thoro were n few basket ball fans from Cedar who returned from Beaver Saturday rather crestfallen because tho B. A. C. lads were defeated by tho Murdock boys. -They had felt that tho B. A. C. team was invincible, and wcro somewhat chagrinncd to lear that there arc othors that can play basket ball. (Wo have not learned of any tha.t are in a vory serious way over tjje outcome of the game, howovor. Thoy seem to bo fairly contented and happy.) hap-py.) March 15th is the time sot by the city council officials for everyone to clean up. They must not only clean their ynrds, corrals,- pens, etc., but must also have their homes in shipshape. ship-shape. "Tho officials who will mako an inspection had better bo careful in entering 'some homes in Cedar and telling the good wives how to clean up the house, else they may find them-solves them-solves going homo with a black eyo." And, to bo candid, tho majority of tho housewives in Cedar know moro in a minute about the proper sanitation of the home than do thoso who will probably prob-ably make tho inspection on March 15." (A knocker at heart can novcr refrain re-frain from knocking, whether it is his affair or not.) |
