SioScn Car Is Found Stripped Aweek ago Saturday Don T. Bishop bought a new car, a Chevro let two-ton- e club coupe. It was stolen from his the next day, Sun-day evening. The car was found Saturday, stripped of about every-thing that was removable. It all came about this way. Mr. Bishop bought the car in Salt Lake and then drove to Orem, where he and Mrs. Bishop visited their son, Clayton. Sunday evening they at-tended conference in Orem, and when they came out their car had vanished from where it was park-ed. The car was found in Holladnv canyon a week later, with tires, lights, radiator, batteries all gone. Also missing was Mr. Bishop's ov-ercoat, and a few other items. The trunk was packed with fixtures, Mr. Bishop was bringing back for the new home he is building in Delta. It was not learned whether they had been taken out or not. Mr. Bishop had left the car with windows up and locked, and 70 miles registered on the speedomet-er. When the car was found 177 miles were recorded, so whoever took it had driven 107 miles. The car was fully covered with insurance and is now being check-ed carefully, so that Mr. Bishop will receive his car back as good as new, or a new one will replace it. Visit lantaOaus Will Arrive in Delta Saturday, Dec. 10 All children in west Millard will be glad to learn that jolly old Santa Claus will be in Delta on Saturday, Dec. 10. He will only make a short visit at that time, but he wants to see all his little friends, give them candy aid oranges, and assure them that he will be back with a load of gifts on Christmas eve. Arrives By Plane Santa is going to fly into the Delta airport Saturday, shortly af-ter 1 p.m. Then he will taxi his plane right into town, coming down the main highway from the airport. At 1:30 p.m. sharp he will be here and children may meet him on the intersection between Telluride Power company and the Baker Pharmacy. Mayor Golden' H. Black and the Delta City councilmen are mak-ing plans and arrangements for Santa's visit. And they will assist him in distributing the candy and treats he brings, so that every child will get some. Free Show Follows When Canta goes on his way to visit other children there will be a free show in the Crest Theatre for all the local boys and girls. It is especially planned for their en- - tertainment and wil be all come-dies, animated cartoons and comic shorts. Christmas Lights Go On In expectation of Christmas time and Santa's visit Saturday the large Christmas tree has been placed on the corner near the Telluride office. Delta Lions furn-ished the tree, which was put in place by a crew from the Tellu-ride Power company. The huge tree is strung with col-ored lights and colored lights will mark the fours sides of the inter-section. Also every street in Delta is being lit with streamers of col-ored lights. Following the visit from Santa Claus the Christmas lights will go on every night until after the Christmas holidays. Beifinart Re-Ope- ns Friday, Dec. 9 With Open louse When the Delmart opens that big, new glass door Friday morn-ing at 10, an entirely new interior will greet the patrons. And Fri-day is open house at the Delmart, for the Grand Opening that cele-brates the completion of three months of remodeling. Every lady who calls in the store that day will receive an orchid, to mark the event. Starting at the front door, the entire store has been renovated and remodeled, using the newest ideas for attractive appearance. New walls, floors, lighting and cabinets have been installed. NEW VIEW OF ALL NEW The front entrance is all glass, including the door and spacious show windows. A clear view thru the store and more lighting is ob-tained fromthe new vitrolite and aluminum front, the first of the type to be used in Delta. The new neon sign is above. The entrance is recessed, with a show window to the west of the door, and the other large window running on a slight angle to the east. Inside all the woodwork is in a silver oak finish, facing the cab-inets and show cases. More floor space has been gained by closing out the grocery department, where the men's furnishing department is enlarged, and utilizing the rear store room, where appliances and toys are now displayed. USE LOCAL SKILL Rice, Stix, Inc., St. Louis, Mo., were the architects and designers for the store's now appearance. They usually send out their own man for the cabinet wotk and fix-tures, but In this case local man, was considered more than compet-ent for the job. So J. LaMont Works, Delta contractor and build-er, had charge of that department. The glass in the new front and inside was furnished by Bennett Paint and Glass Co., Salt Lake City, and was worked out by Jun-ior aGrdner, fromer Deltans, now in the company employ. Frank Bishop and Lee Mc Allister laid out the new front. Local artisans were used throughout the remodel- -' ing job, as listed in the Delmart page of appreciation. The Delmart is successor to one of the first stores established in Delta. The R. J. Law opened his first Delta store in 1908. His bus-iness grew and he moved to his second and larger store. More years and more growth, and he moved to a third and larger store, which he built on the present loc-ation of the Delmart. Five years ago the present management bou-ght his interests and renamed the store. Growth of the business re-quired this recent expansion. Clayton Stapley, manager of the Delmart, and store personnel, will welcome all comers Friday and through the days to come. The Grand Opening ushers in a full through Dec. 17, of special enter-tainment for store patrons.

Former Deltan Is Honored By National Body An article in the Salt Lake Trib-une Wednesday tells that Mrs. Susie Sanford Cook has received national recognition for her work as county home demonstration a- - gent. There was only one flaw in the news story from our point of view, and that was that failed to add that Mrs. Cook was a former Deltan. She is now liing at Evan-sto- Wyoming. Mrs. Cook received the distingu-ished, service award in Chicago Nov. 30, at the special recognition dinner of the National Home De-monstration Agents Assn. Federal Director of Extension M. L. Wilson made the award. She was one of the 48 home dem onsration agents from 31 states and Puerto Rico, and one of five western division agents so honored She was selected by a state re-cognition committee for the bal-ance and variety of her program, quality of work, and increase in club membership. To qualify, she had completed 10 years of work in the field. She' is the second Wyoming home denmonstration to be so honored and has served as president of the Wyo-ming home demonstration agents for two years. t Mrs. Cook is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B Sanford, early sett-lers at Sutherland After complet-ing her college course, she headed the Home Economics department at Delta high school for 6 years, from 1928 to 1934. Later she join-ed the agricultural extension ser-vice and was at Logan as Utah clothing specialist. Then she went to Evanston as Uinta county home demonstration agent. She was mar ried there to Clarence Cook, and for several years retired from the extension service. Two years ago she was asked to return and re-sume her former post.
