J')) 7 V Volume 39 Number 37 Delta, Utah, Thursday, March 10, 1949 $3.50 a Year in Advance five More Towns Are Over Top On ARC Campaign Five more west Millard com-munities have gone over the top in the American Red Cross fund campaign, according to reports this week to Ben Robison, chairman. In the second week of the drive, public support of the drive has been generous, and Mr. Robison says that from all indications, west Millard will more than fill the quota of $1072.50. Lynndyl contributed 225 of their quota, under the leadership of Mrs. Huddleston. That is a remarkable showing, as Lynndyl has had a number of families move away during the year, and is not in boom times. Leamington, with Louise Lovell chairman, Sutherland, Toneta n, chairman, Deseret, Rae Jen-sen, chairman, and Delta north section, Helen Baker, Chairman, have made their reports, and have quotas.

SNOW BRINGS OPERA The night program was outstand-ing. Snow College, making their first trin to Delta presented the pro gram. They asked Wednesday if they should bring their school opera Victor Herbert's Red Mill, their only request being for a full house. That was readilv granted, and more than fullfilled. More than 500 filled the auditorium, on extra chairs brought in. Find standing, whie the cast of 75 Snow Players rollicked through their performance. The Red Mill is always a favorite gay and tuneful, and the Snow col-lege cast were excellent in their parts, with great applause going to the two comedians. The show was directed by Harry A. Dean, 'Joseph W. Crane and Donna Hogge. Travelling so far the troupe coud not bring their specially designed scenery, but the skill of their per-formance covered up that lack. They brought their own orchestra, and attractive costumes for the Hoi land setting. After the show, the entire group were guests of the high school at a supper served in the lunch room. Final event of the big day was the old time dancing to old time music in the gym. Hinckley Robs Milford Quint OfState Berth Hinckley Mustangs emerged vic-torious Tuesday night, with a score of 35-3- over Milford Tigers, in a close-foug- game in Delta"s Hall. The first quarter was very much of a defensive duel, with the Tigers holding the Mustangs to lone foul pitch, to end the first quarter with a score of 8-- 1 for Milford. It was Lee Davis, the Mustang Center, who broke the ice, at the start of the second quarter, with a much-neede- d field goal. This seemed to spark a volley that netted 4 points within 20 seconds, with Peterson tallying the other 2points. The half found the Mus-tangs trailing a determined Tiger pack 13-1- The third quarter was a little more even, with both teams scor-ing 10 points each, to end the quarter 23-2- favor of Tigers. The fourth quarter is one that will be remembered for a long time to come. During the first part of 'the fourth quarter, T. Myers was retired on fouls, although the loss didn't seem to slow the at-tack much. With only a handful of min-utes remaining, Dale Love tied the score 29-2- and then the crowd went wild. With about 3 minutes remaining, Warren- Peterson was also retired on fouls, but regardless to this loss the Mustangs went a step farther in their upstate journey by subduing Milford 35-3- C. Turner, Milford, set the pace of the game with a total of 10 points. Eldon Cahoon, Dale Love and Kent Myers each tanked 9 points. Peterson got 7, Carter 7, and McDonald 5. It was during the fourth quar-ter that Hinckley again tied the score at 29-2- Milford shot the next basket and held the lead for only a short time, with the Mustangs again tying it at 31-3- Then they paced ahead for a lead, and barely held their lead to the end of the game. Milfords final drive was a free throw and a field goal, making the score 35-- 34 for the Mustangs. In the last seconds of the game ' it was Lee Davis's tips to Dale Love, who scored two field goals consecutively, and Jeff Carter's foul pitch which put the Mustangs ahead of the Tigers' and won this hard-foug- game. by Bob Carling Rabbits Meet Red Devils Thursday Night Springville Red Devils, piloted by Coach Paul Wilson, will invade Delta Thursday night, for a basket-ba- l tilt with the Delta Rabbits.

Fire At Farm Takes Home And Ail the Contents The fire siren at 1 a. m. Tuesday brought the Delta volunteer fire dept. to the Fenton Gardner farm, 2Mi miles southwest of Delta, where the house was afire. But the fire had such a head start that when the firemen arrived the structure was enveloped in flames. It was surmised that the fire was caused by an oil heater, as that was the only thing alight in the house. It may have be-come overheated, or may have blown up. No one was in the house at the time, but every article of household furnishings and clothing with in was burned up. The house was Mr. Gardner's, and the furni-ture was Van Warnick's, tenant farmer. Van Warnick planned to move his wife and two children, one a month-ol- d baby, into the house early Tuesday. Their household fur-nishing were already moved in ,and Van had lit the oil heater Monday forenoon, to warm the house for their arrival. Both Van and Mr. Gardner were on the scene soon after the alarm was sent in, but nothing could be saved. No insurance was car-ried. They and the firemen were there two hours or more, to see that the sparks did not set fire to the hay stacks near, or the chaff pile. A blizzard came on near the end of their vigil and helped put out all the sparks. OTS WHO? ? i j ' . ,. , t f ! i ' i ! i .. i . , 'i . i - ,' ';' l , i ! ii mm .,; j ,,Wnat Pretty children!" you will say when you ponder over this Puzzler.

That was June Black, Delta Psnaster and bishop of Delta 2nd ara, and his sister, Mrs. Golda jwis, now living in Salt Lake City. Z- Was born at Ibapah, and the nuians really were interested in arrival, and really did think be nice t0 name him Iba" pah ov.u1 do you think o holding vnn arswer for a week? Would aw have the answer hidden ay somewhere in the same issue ' Puzzle over it for a week. So opinion has been about 50-5- a a shade more in favor of the "swer m the same week. This wil have the answer eles-eas- v wher . ln this PaPer as !t is so a u. i guess no one would take think fr itTnen tel1 us what you Diii get back t0 these two young iniif ' LiUle brother started out out hMlth black hair' tnen turned two as an onion. then sprouted cur'y topknot hairs, one more than Buttercup. Arid when his pic-ture was taken, he had golden curls to his shoulder. That can be proved, for hidden away, as this pic ture was for many years, are the curls. The happy boy wore them un-til he was about four years old. Then the father, at the end of his tether, got the child a crew hair-cut, and sent him home, hair in hand, to his indignant mother. Little sister was a different pro-position, No curls to arouse cries of admiration, she just had to struggle along with straight old hair, a few bangs,t and a little match-siz- e braid with a ribbon on lit. Someone should have told her, to cheer her up for her picture, that even then wizards were work-ing on a boon to womankind, the permanent wave. When she hears jher picture was in this department, she will say "Honestly?" Here are a few more clues - - al-though not born here, the children have lived here long enough to be well-know- n Deltans. They both are good listeners, especially if it is a name band. As quiz kids they would be knockouts on whose band is playing where. They are each married, and parents. Do you know them?

Many times during the last two years his dead eye has won games for Delta. Elwood Dutson This boy from Leamington has consistently play-ed a fast game. He is among the most amiable chaps in the high school. Scott Sheriff A tall, consistent good player Scott has continually played a high grade, clean game. He may walk off with a place on the mythical state teams. Junior Dalton This flashy Jun-ior player won his lead spot last year while a Sophomore. He has since proved himself one of the most valuable players in the dist- - rict. The other players on the main team are: Lynn Prestwich, Dick Clark.

RFC Authorized Now To Make Disaster Loans Utahns suffering heavy losses due to the unprecedented snow storms andor resulting flood conditions are eligible for emergency loans through the Salt Lake City Loan Agency of the Reconstruction Fi-nance corporation. G. L. Leaver, agency manager advised that RFC's board of direc-tors have declared Utah a disaster area and have authorized him to accept applications for disaster loans from people suffering from catastrophes brought on by the heavy snow storms-an- attending floods. With respect to agricultural loans either for crop production or re-stocking purposes, Mr. Leaver em-phasized that applicants must first make every effort to obtain neces-sary funds through their local bank and other lending institutions, in-cluding the Department of Agri-culture before applying to RFC for a loan, since it is not intended that the corporation make loans when such financing can be ob-tained through normal channels.
