Mr. Wood was driving the car, and his wife, Mrs. Faye Wood, had packed several boxes of provisions, her part for the picnic dinner. a mile east of the railroad in Oasis, on the road from Holden, Mr. Wood dozed, for just a second or two, and awoke with a start, as the car crashed into a pole at the side of the road. The pole, with lines carrying 2300 volts for the power company, and some telephone lines, was hit squarely, and broke at the stub. Mrs. Wood was thrown against the dashboard, and was cut under the right eye. The windshield was broken, and picnic lunch strewn the road. Mr. Wood was not' hurt, and the car slightly damaged, with a dent in the bumper and some damage to the radiator. Mrs. Wood was brought into the Delta hospital and her injured eye treated. Stitches were taken in the cut, and the eye bandaged, and she was able to return home that evening. Luckily the eyeball was not cut, nor the vision damaged. Mr. Wood, who is not in the hab-it of dozing at the wheel, stated that this one lapse taught him never to do so again. Work on Roads Progressing at Rapid Pace Oiling of two highways coming into Millard county is progressing at a good pace and will be com-pleted within a short time. The five miles of graveled high-way between Delta and Eureka is being oiled at present and at the rate they are going it should be done within a week or ten days. This will complete the oiling on this stretch of highway and finish the oil into Salt Lake City. The Leamington-Neph- i road is being oiled and the crew is out at the windmill on that road, working from the Nephi end. They will continue this on into Millard coun-ty and join the present oil there at Leamington before they quit. West of Eureka on the Tooele road a crew is widening the road there in preparation for construc-tion and oiling of this highway for a distance of about 18 miles. An additional 17 miles of oiling in Tooele county is planned but no contract has been let on that. Should it be there would be about 3 miles of gravel road between Hinckley and Salt Lake City by by way of Tooele.

Season A boon to housewives and an asset to the community, is the new cannery at Oak City, which opened Wednesday for its first day's run, with a bumper crop of apricots. The cannery is a cooperative, with most of Oak City's residents havings an interest. A temporary committee of five, Carl Anderson, Parley Roper, Ed Stewart, M. J. Roper and Milan Jacobson, have set up the organization, and Milan Jacobson is manager of the plant. The building, started a year ago, represents $8,000. built bv M. .7. Roper. After several delays, the equipment all arrived, and now in-cludes 2 retorts, each with a capa-city of 1200 cans a day, equipment to seal No. 2, 2, 3 or 10 cans, and four cold-pac- k exhaust boxes. The cannery is the first in Mill-- I ard county, and among the first :in the state, and is patterned after the one in Moroni, now in its third year of operation. Produce will be trucked in from the north and south, and there will also be a large amount of fruits and vegetables available from that grown right in Oak City, especially a large tomato and corn crop. A man is on the job to do the cook-ing and sealing. Patrons have a choice of several ways to make use of the facilities offered at the cannery. They may feel free to bring their own pro-duce and prepare it themselves, or have the organization prepare it, or have the cannery handle the whole job, baying the produce and processing it. Groups and organiza-- ' tions will be welcomed at the can-nery. These possibilities open up daz-zling vistas for home canners from n,ow on. Gone are the days when canning time was the annual night-mare. Now it may be made a fam-ily picnic. Seed Prospects kBrightest ! In Many Years Old timers are unanimous that this year's first crop alfalfa seed is the best they have ever seen. The seed set on with large burrs and plenty of them, and the plants are heavily loaded. There was not too much first crop left for seed this year, but those who did leave the first crop will all have bumper crops. The second crop is later than usual on account of the late seas-on this spring, but if the frost holds off a little longer than nor- - ' mal, the prospects are that this will also be a bumper crop. At present much of the second crop is just going into the bloom, and this must set into the burrs bet-ween the fifth and tenth of Aug-ust to give the farmers a reasona-ble chance of getting a good crop before the frost comes. There are no indications as to ' the price this year of seed, and they won't be announced until later in the season.
