Show 4 Millard County Chronicle Delta, Ut.. Thurs.. Mar. 17.1949 Without Utah's smelting indus-try, Utah's mining industry would be comparitively small, but to-gether they make the state the world's leading mining and smelt-ing center. Smelting means much to Utah, as it brings outside products into the state for treatment. Mines in all parts of the West ship their ores to Utah's four smelting plants and at times foreign mines ship their products to the state for re-duction. Up to the present time operations in the district have been confined to the production of unrefined bul-lion, which is shipped outside the state for refining. Soon' Utah will have a copper refinery which will greatly add to Utah industry in the form of cop-per fabricating plants. Plans tor the refinery are now being drawn up and ground has been broken for the plant near Garfield. Completion of the refinery de-pends entirely upon the delivery of materials and equipment. At the present time a tentative date for its completion has been set tor 1950. By completing the cycle ol mining, milling smelting and ref in-ing in Utah, the state will receive full utilization of its resources, ano with the addition of fabricators, the state will receive its greatest industrial impetus. BY GILL HILTON The Sixteenth annual parents and sons banquet was held Thursday, March 10 in the school lunch room. The delicious dinner was prepared by the Home Ec. teachers, Mrs. Julia Bliss and Miss Lou Etta Sam-pson and served by their students. Sheldon Callister, Chapter president was master of ceremonies. Talks were given by Reed Bunker, vice president; Clair Acord, assistant Co. agent; Gill Hilton, representative in the public speaking contest; and Supt. A. M. Maughan. Honorary chapter farmer pins were awarded to Mr. Maughan, Principal Glen W. Seegmiller, and Merritt C. Floyd, instructor of vocational mechanics. Every year a contest is held in the chapter to select the chapter rep-resentative in the district public speaking contest. Don Greathouse, and Gill Hilton tried out this year and Gill, who talk was "Farmer Cooperative, An Opportunity or A Liability," emerged victorious.Don's talk was "New Developments In Agriculture.'The judges were Eulon Anderson, Otis Walsh, and Samuel Chandler. Elections were recently held for the coming year. Reed Bunker was elected president; Emerson Gonder and Donald May, vice presidents; Edward Skidmore, secretary; Ther-o- n Johnson, treasurer; Gill Hilton and Don Greathouse, reporters; and Jimmy Porter sentinel. Reed Jeffery, chairman of the rodent drive committee, has an-nounced plans for this drive to rodents. The chapter has been divided into two teams. Points will be awarded for each rodent brought in and the losing team will give the winning team a party. The drive will run until May 6. Each year the Greenhands spend a week on milk testing'. They are taught how to test milk with the babcock test and get actual ex-perience in doing so. Every Friday anyone that wants to can bring milk to test. A Duroc hog chain has been or-ganized with six members. A small stock trailer will be built so the members can haul their sows to and from the boar which is main-tained by the chain. The organiz-ation of this chain brings the total number of chains in the chapter to four. There are 25 in the Chester white chain, two in the Holstein dairy chain, and six in the Hamp-shire sheep chain. Improve Site Of 3Iassacre A movement is being started to make a rock wall rauond the mon-ument at the Gunnison Massacre site and to set up a permanent steel and cement marker for the detour off Highway 6 to reach the spot. The bronze plaque needs clean-ing; and a rock wall around the monument and common grave will put the spot in a permanent cond-ition to the credit of all. Those giving it thought are the American Legion, with assistance from the Jay Cees, the Lions Club, the Boy Scouts and the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. The Millard County Chronicle Published Every Thursday at Delta, Utah By CHRONICLE PUBLISHING COMPANY Owned by Frank S. Beckwith and Frank Beckwith Frank Beckwith Editor Frank S. Beckwith, Business Manager Entered as second class matter at the Postoffice at Delta, Utah, undex the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879 Chatter Box Dear Suzy, The basketball fans got a lucky break this year when the state tournament came after their last day for filing income taxes. In the past many of them had to sit in the stands figuring their taxes between halves and may of them got mixed up and listed players as dependents. The government should allow most of the fans to list at leat one team as dependents because the fans pay enough out following them around the country and making wagers to be classi fied as supporting them, Delta is either deserted at this time with most of the people at the games, and those who are left around here are huddled up close to a radio waiting for the Delta game to come on at noon. Next Monday things will settle down a little with only the drug store coaches holding forth replaying the games. The school board is still trying to figure out a way to build a new school in Delta. I think they are making a mistake having it built here. They should build it between Delta and Hinckley some place and then combine the two schools and have one real good basketball team. They could pay for the building out of the pro-ceeds from the games within a short time, provided they first built the gym and made it big enough to hold the crowds that always want to get in. A place like Nick's Nook would be ideal for it and that would be about half way between the two towns. They could also include boating 'and fishing teams in the curriculum, and by having classes like that and specializing in bask-etball, the other classwork, just as it is now, would be only in-cidental to attendin gschool. When they got a good player they could retain him in school until old age crept up on him, or until his whis-kers got too tough and gave him away. I don't see why the board of education can't see it that way, because it would solve all their problems. Getting back to the income tax and its usual March headache we have men about town who special-ize in filing out the forms for ot hers, at a small fee, and these men are swamped during March and spend many late hours fig-uring out the taxes for their clients Among these men who make a good living filling out the foms is Judge Chesley, who handles a mean pencil when it comes to dop- - ing out the taxes. He has spent many late hours filling out forms for others, and these late hours he has been keeping caught up with him the other night, much to his embarrassment. It seems the Judge had been working night after night on these forms, and getting tired and want- - some nourishment, went up to the Gem Cafe. He ordered an oyster stew and then went into the rest room to wash his hnds free from all the ink and lint on the paper the government sends out. Finish-ing washing his hands he was tir-ed, and knowing that the Gem would be quite slow with his oys-ters, the Judge sat down on the handy contrivance that is always found in a rest room. The oyster stew was finally ready and brought out, but no one could remember who ordered it and nobady seemed to want the stew. The standing practice ar-ound the Gem is that if anyone doesn't want or isn"t there when the food is brought out one of the staff there sits down and eats it. So that was done and all was for-gotten about the Judge and the oyster stew. Came one o'clock and it was time to close the joint. All the customers were gone and it was then time to clean up the- - place ready for the next morning. One of the girls went in to sweep and clean the rest room and on looking at the floor, where she would naturally look, if she was going to clean it, saw two large feet sticking out from under the door that opens into the handy contri-vance I spoke of earlier. She be-came alarmed and hurried outside to get a man to investigate. The man is unknown, but he was brave and up to his task. He entered the rest room, opened the door and stared down at the Judge, who was sound asleep, muttering to himself "7 from 9 leaves 4; take off $16 for oyster stew. . . . dependents must be proved and not just claim-ed." And other mutterings that were uninteligible to the man. The Judge was awakened and told of the hour, and he got up and left the place, forgetting his oyster stew and forgetting to re-member what he originally came for. Up to the present writing the Judge has stayed away from the Gem and says he will until Eldon upholsters the seat in the rest room, because he says he was mighty stiff and sore from sitting and sleeping in such a cramped position. Eldon doesn't want to upholster the seat, because he says people will spend too much time in the rest room and not enough time at the counter eating. And so the problem is not as yet solved. I think it is a mean trick on the part of the government to send out so many forms to fill out that the guy that fills them out is forced to catch his sleep in a rest room. The government could put a stop to this by forgetting income tax en-tirely and just asking the people to send in what money they had left over from the last year. In these kinds of times the gov-ernment would maybe go broke mighty fast, because it is rare when anyone has any money left over. Toots.
