Show i M rillard Count; Chronicle JDeIta, Ut., Thurs., Mar. 3,1949 Arc Surprisetl ( With Party Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lyman were surprised at their home Tuesday evening when the High Priests of Delta Second ward and their part-ner- s called with a party. About thirty guests were there, each bringing a dish for the pot-luc- k supper. After an evening at games refreshments were served, salads, cake, ice cream, punch and sand wiches. Hinder jjjjk BY HARRY MARLOWE Predictions continued to fly legislative halls on Capitol Hill this week that Gov. Lee will call a special session of the 28th Utah Legislature before the year is out. These predictions ate becoming stronger and stronger, especially from the old "Maw" faction of the legislature, with adjournment of the 60 day regular session still a week away. Sen. Lorenzo E. Elggren lt Lake) and Rep. Justin Stewart, Lake) have most insistent that a special session will be on welfare, especially since the appropriations bill provides ev-en less for public assistance than the governor recommended in his "economy" budget. The bill pro-vides $14,000,000 for welfare and the governor asked $15,060,000 both against a department request of $19,000,000. Rep. Maurice Anderson ville), majority floor leader in the House, wasn't particularly satisfied with the amount in the bill, but said if the measure was opened up for amendments and the increased, a special session would then be a certainty. As a result, in the only real de-bate in the House over the $52, 256,278 appropriations bill, a re figure to the amount rec-ommended by the governor was defeated by a count of 22-3- Af-ter that the bill was passsed by a vote of 42-1- with three Republic- - sales fund sources giving a total of $41,000 000 in unearmarked mon-ies. From these funds are appropri-ated $38,486,241 leaving a surplus of $2,513,759. At the same time a $5,000,000 emergency relief reserve fund is not touched and is left as a "cushion" against any decline in estimated re venues or increases In public makers of the bill assert. Legislattors who charge the ap-propriations total is too high, do so on grounds that estimated rev-enues are '"wishful thinking" and are far out of line i nface of re-cent cost of living decrea'ses and "leveling off" signs. Meanwhile, the repeal of the welfare lien law came in for some bitter discussion in the House, with, those supporting retention of the law pointing out that its repeal would throw welfare appropriations far out of line. With but a week to go, night ses-sions appeared likely in botth hou-ses. The Senate still has some ap-pointments by the governor to act on in executive sesssion as well as measures dealing with labor, wel-fare and liquor, all of a most con-troversial nature. Among appointments made by the governor so far are J. Welton Ward, Willard Decocrat and mem-o- f the House in 1943 and the sen-i- n 1945 and 1947, to the State Tax Commission to replace Grant Brown resigned; J. A. Theobald, Price Rep. to the PID Commission to comDlete ans - - Reps. William A Brotherson H. H. Crouch and H. Roland Tietjen - - claiming the total ap-propriation was too high. The seven Democrats against the bill - - Reps. Justin C. Stewart lt Lake) M. Phyl Poulson lt Lake) and Mrs. C. L. Jack lt Lake), J. M. Belli lt Lake), W. G. Larson John P. Barton and Sidney A. Elswood - - all claimed welfare appro-priations were "too low. " Speaking of special sessions, the governor indicated sometime ago, according to certain legislators, that he probably will call one next Sept., but not necessar-ily on welfare. Governer Lee is said to have observed that by next fall he will have a much better T h e liquidattion of its projects; Roy W. Simmons, Layson Rep., as state bank commissioner to replace J. Melvin Knapp, and Hal S. Bennett Salt Lake Rep. to tthe Business Regulations Commission to replace Oscar W. Carlson, a Salt Lake Rep. In addition to the introduction of the appropriations bill, the end of the seventh week of the session saw Senate passage - - for the 3rd time since 1943 - - of a "hores race' bil to legalize pari-mutu- el betting at limited race meets. The bill would limit meets to five days and restrict the number of meets in any one county to two per year with a period of some 30 days between meets. "Local option'" is also pro-vided by the bill. This measure passed 17-- 3 in the upper house after Sen. McShane had pointed out that it "legalizes what we are already doing. " He said if meets run in the state last year had been taxed on the basis provided by the bill it would have orought $15,000 to the state treas- - knowledge of the needs in state government and could probably make recommendations that would assure a sound economical footing for the 1949-5- 1 biennium. He appeared almost certain to veto some items in the aopropriat- - ury Voting against the bill in the Senate were Sens. Alonzo F. Hop-ki- n Day and James E. Burns Sens. Tay-lor P. Brockbank lt Lake), Hyrum Gibbons and Mar D. Gibson- - were absent. During the week, the Senate also went on record in favor of a state "car pool" cuting down the number of state-owne- d auto-mobiles to a point where efficiency in state travel might be maintain-ed. Surplus cars would be sold and and the funds used for mainten-ance purposes on cars to be kept at the state road shops in Salt Lake City. Each department would pay a rental fee for additional maintenance and purchase of new cars. This would eliminate the use of automobiles by officers and em-ployees for driving to and from work. The governor had recommended such a pool, but had also suggest-ed construction of a $86,000 gar-age on the capitol grounds to house tthe automobiles. The Sen-ate committee on highways, head-ed by Sen. J. Harold Reese River City), however, recom-mended the facilities already set. up by the road commission be us-ed. ions bill and may send the entire measure back for reductions in some items. Higher education in-stitutions, for instance, receive $10,600,000 in he ap-propriations bill against the gover-nor's recommendation of about half that amount and the Utah Water and Power Board is given $750,000 where the governor recommended nothing. Also, the bil gives $725 000 to vocational education, $225, 000 to the Central Utah Vocational School and $500000 to the Salt Lake Area Vocational School, as compar-ed to a recommendation of no ap-propriation from the governor: Sen. Orrice C. McShane suggested from the floor of the Senate that the University of Utah and Utah State Agricultural College be cut five per cent in the approximately $9,000,000 to the 2 schools, and Sen. Elias L. Day lt Lake) wanted to knock down a Utah State prison appropriation of $700,000 to 550,000. He was also in favor of granting $100,000 to publicity purposes, while Sens. L. H. Larsen and Elggren wanted about $250,000 awarded to Publicity and Industrial Develop-ment, which was wiped out in the appropriations bill. Both said they had been promised the PID would receive an appropriation after they voted to give al motor vehicle re-gistration funds, which have sup-plied PID in the past to B and C roads. In setting up the appropriations bill the joint appropriations com-mittee, headed by Sen. Fred J.

Beckwith and Frank Beckwith ' Frank Beckwith Editor Frank S. Beckwith, Business Manager i) ;l Entered as second class matter at the Postoffice at v Delta, Utah, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879 Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Robert Burns, once a poet but now a maker of cigars, once said, "The best laid plans of mice and men ofttimes go astray", or words to that effect. I never did read any of his poems, and I ne'ver could stand a cigar, even a good five- - cent one. but if he did make that statement I think Steve Williams, publisher, Editor, and so forth of the Milford News should have it painted in big type and placed in his office. Mr. Williams, basketball fan and Milford enthusiast,, put on a spurt of effort last week and got his paper all ready to run before leav-ing for the Milford-Hinckle- y game. Across the top of the front page in studhorse type was the headline, "TIGERS EAT MUSTANGS; LICK CHOPS FOR BEAVER! 1 And further down the page was the complete story of how Milford practically wiped the floor with Hinckley, went home and were filing their teeth to get at Beaver. Everything was complette but the scores. will realize that as a bar room fighter, Mr. Williams has many superiors, because it is a well-know- n fact that Steve only weighs 126 pounds with an anvil in each hand. Of course, after he puts the anvils down, and weighs in at ring-esid- e, there is no question but that his weight is much less. R. was having none of the "peace making stuff" (whoever said the Scandanavians were a peaceful peo pie) and picked up Mr. Williams, which as I have explained is no great feat, and bodily bounced him out of the place. Whereupon R. stepped back into the fray wield-ing his flashlight with a vengeance Some big guy from Milford, reputed to be a school teacher there, came up and wanted to know what was the trouble. By this time Curly, R.'s brotther and also mayor of Hinck-ley, was there to back up the play. R., being a little short jumped up on Curly's shoulders and bopped the big guy from Milford so hard his flashlight bounced 10 feet in the air. As R. caught the flash-light on the downbeat it set off a symphony that only those who stay ed late at the game will ever appr-eciate. R., the Maest ro, went about the crowd assembled playing his flashlight upon skullls in such a manner that those who had heard the Sabre Song thought the song was slow as compared to the Mae-stro- 's version. He beat a lusty and vigorous tune on indiscriminate skulls followed by Ladd, Cropper, who was carrying a tuning Then Mr. Williams, his wife and ,;; a Mr. and Mrs. Grimes, James, j! or Hames left for Hinckley to view i;; the slaughter of- the Mustangs, which they felt would be complete ij and gory. On ariving at Delta the ji foursome stopped in at the local newspaper emporium to chide the jj local publishers on having to work j that night while they were making HEY, and wondered why no one was game-goin- g from the local ' establishment. On leaving Steve picked up his bottle and went out through the front door oblivious of l the perils of the snow that had become a booby tray there, and I! like Dr. Foster, stepped in up to middle. He was soon put in the as soon as it was determined Ihishad a good clutch on the and the people left for .i Steve's partting word was what j floor would Deltta prefer to play the tie-o- ff on, after Milford had trimmo TTinVlcnr an Daavoi. Wall tork, sounding his A and trying to get the Maestro in pitch. Some blood flowed but not en-ough to make the Maestro lose his grip on his improvised baton, and the song went merrily on until R. got tired, and also he couldn't find the right note. Ladd upbraided him severely for his lack of pitch and the Maestro explained, "Ladd, I hit every skull in the joint ( I bet R. forgot where he was when he called the place a joint) and I never did find a B sharp. They were always B flat." And Ladd then took him to one side to give him a lesson on music, "Maestro." he ex-plained, "it is all a matter of tim-ing, it depends on whether the sub ject, or I suppose I should say, note, has his mouth opened or rinsed. Ynn notice that those with ! Mr. Williams was half right, they trimmed Beaver. But to get back to the slaughter ij in' Hinckley we find Milford trail ing the Mustangs by quite a lead j through out the game and when ) the final whistle blew, no one had any other idea but that the best team won. That is, I mean, no-- 1 body but those who were from Mil- - I ford. Our Mr. Grimes, James or Hames (let's cal him Shorty for tthe rest of this, as I never could remember names) let his enthus-iasm run ahead of his better judg-ment, and shortly before the end of the game we find him a recipient of a couple of resounding slaps that echoed across the hall, stop- - ped the game short as the players i thought it was the gun. Then at the close of the game Shorty play-ed an encore and got another cou- - their mouths open give off a full, true note when sounded on the head with a hard object. But those who keep their mouths closed, eith er give off a very flat and poor note, or else they never get into trouble." "So now, my good man, if you wish to carry on your project, let me be not the one to stop you, but please try and hit a true note." Whereupon the Maestro viewed a most unpl'easant sight, and lost, all interest in becoming a second Toscannini, for our pal, Steve was being towed back in the door by the Delta Mayor, one Golden Black, so that Steve could explain his point of view. But R. seeing this unexpected sight went into the fray again, solely against Mr. Wil-liams, and so he was ousted once again, thoroughly and decisively, leaving our mayor, as an emissary of good will, open mouthed and inarticulate. Those who were able got up from their places on the floor and filed solemnly out the door, and those who had not engaged in the car-nage were wondering why all the fun had stopped. They were just like little kids who, when their dad hit himself on the head with an axe, cried, "more Daddy", even though the dad was stretched out on the woodpile slowly bleeding to death. There are some who will remem-ber the score of the game, but there are hundreds who will have a story to tell their grandchildren when they sit down as a baby ten-der to put the little Kellers to sleep They will say, "Now go to sleep, little (deleted) or I will tell you about the Hinckley-Milfor- d basket-ball game in 1949 , when more heads were cracked by a flashlight, than I actually thought were ever ccracked in the first place." But it was a eood haskpthnll pie of slaps. :; Where upon Shorty became in volved with some Delta fans who were there only to see that the game went according to schedule and also to put in a few lusty yells for Hinckley. Glen Hortin, loc al keeper of the butter, go in the embroglio, and got smacked three times, twice of which were by un knowns. Mr. Hortin says that is the first time he was ever in a fight when he didn't know who hit him. He also had the lumps to show at late as 'Monday. At this point things got to mov- - ing rather rapid-lik- e and we find the strong arm of the Hinckley law as represented by R. Swensen, step ping into the breech to bring a halt to the ensuing riot. R. came armed with flash light and badge he might as weel left the badge home, but it is lucky he brought his five cell flashlight. By the time R. got there Mrs. shorty had her better half well in hand and was cuffing his ears out the front door. So, if anyone is wondering what happened to the guy who started the fight, let them rest assured that his wife gave him a good licking and sent him to bed wihout any supper. At this point our Mr. Williams stepped into the fray, not as a participant, but as a peace-make- r, trying to explain that it was all a misunder-standing. Those who know Steve game with a super colossal, mammoth and bloodting-lin- g climax. And, after all, I guess, that is why we go to basket ball games to see a fast game, and anything tthat develops that rais-es the blood pressure is just so much velvet. I think if Hinckley and Milford are going to put on shows like that they ought to play in Palomar so that more of us can see them, especially the finish and the post finish. Of course, R. says it is a little hard on flashlights and the bulbs just don't stand up as they did before the war. Well, either the bulbs are poorer or the heads are thicker. What do you think? Toots.
