Now jumping from the past to the more present information infor-mation has been passed along to us that indicates that anyone any-one interested in registering for the upcoming election can do so by calling at the County Asessor's Office in Cedar City any working day. That's without the necessity of waiting for the regular registration re-gistration dates in the individual indi-vidual voting districts. The reason this was brought to our attention is that in order or-der to sign petition requesting that the matter of location of the Iron County Court House you must be an officially registered re-gistered voter within the coun. ty.

There's a story here, that brought the fact to my attention. atten-tion.

The letter was passed on to the Postofflce and out of curiosity curi-osity Frank Petty, Postmaster, sent the asking price of $1 for the letter. It arrived the other day and it would appear that he really got a bargain. The letter, as indicated, was (postmarked out of Cedar City on May 18, 1929 with a cancelled five cent Air Mail stamp which shows a single engine plane making a turn around a pylon. Also staimiped on the front of the letter is a commemorative stamp with the Great White Throne of ZIon National Park in the background and the Wording, Cedar City Airport - Opening May 18, In the upper right hand of the stamp and across the bottom the wording word-ing "Cedar City.
