Allred of the Hinckley high school spent Friday and Saturday in Salt Lake City where he attended the state super-intendents and principals confer-ence held at the State Capitol, March 24, 25 and 26. At the first session held on Fri-day morning the main topic for discussion was the playing of an "All-Sta- r" basketball game. The majority of the members present felt that this type of game is out of order and that the schools would not sponsor this activity. The keynote of the second ses-sion was "Life Adjustment Educa-tion for Secondary School Youth. Following this discussion, the principals met in five different groups, with each one going to the discussion he preferred. The 20 federal tax which is paid by all high schools on any of their gate receipts at student activities was discussed by the group and an attempt is being made as a result of the discussion to do away with this law. A reso-lution will be formed by represen-tative members and sent to the federal government in an attempt to accomplish this. The poor grade of lyceum numbers which are brought to the schools by the lyceum bureaus was discussed. The group favored either doing away with lyceum numbers entirely or insist upon a better quality of performance. Still another problem to receive consideration was the general ed-ucation development tests. These tests now operate to enable stu-dents who have not graduated from high school to enter college if they are able to pass this test. There were a few technicalities to be ironed out concerning the meth-od or administration. Saturday a general business meeting was held from 10 to 12 and reports were given by the var-ious committees and officers for the ensuing year elected. Avard Rigby, of Vernal, a form-er resident of Hinckley, was elect-ed president of the secondary principals association for next year. Hinckley Matron, Aged 83.

I '7 ' I : V' V , ' T- - I - ..-J- in ff ff 1 Here is a little trio to puzzle over this week, with practically no clues to go on, not even if the f I baby is little sister or little bro- - I ther. You will just have to dig I down into some west Millard coun- - X I ty family records and figure out I I who these three children could be. OC I Now big brother may puzzle you 1(07 I y a while, as he isn't around here I any more, except on visits. He I j moved away some years ago. But I middle brother and baby are right I m our midst. Baby is a pretty lit- - I tie creature. And ho wdo you like I middle brother, posing like a pou- - I ter Pigeon, isn't he? He wears his I coat like that to this day, open I while he throws his chest out. I ' iJhis picture was taken about I 1905, another of John Matson's I Photographs, as many of these old I timers have been. They tell that I Mr. Matson travelled through here I jpt years, with his horse-draw- n out I taking pictures. They say that I j every family has a picture of one I ot more of their children seated I on that little fringed stool he car-- I j "ed with him. Of course that is I w,not much nelP in figuring out I mch child of which family has 1 lt seat in this picture. I ut at any rate, you know it is s?9 I Tone in west Millard. And it 2? I ul(ln't have been Delta, for there I ! as "o Delta when this picture I w taken in 1905- And these enild I ere all born in the town this I re was taken in . They grew SSw!i I m, lnat town, and went to lhhT the. How they acted and W k 9 I to I they learned you will have JSJJJ nd out from some of their old schoolmates. Their report cards were always good, or so they telli their children nowadays. You will guess faster by con-centrating on middle brother, for he looks just the same nowadays, although a grandfather by this time. Give him a hat and an inch of cigar, and you can see him every day in Delta . He and baby grew up to be reg-ular " old night hawks - No early to bed and early to rise business for them. Not this winter .anyhow, when snow was falling. Middle brother got to staying out nights, all night, all the time. And we say middle brother, we don t mean middle of the picture, we mean middle by years. One night that middle brother stayed out all night, and nearly starved to death, no lunch along, no coffee. He was stuck in a car, waiting for a bulldozer to clear a way to a cafe. And what made him so mad about that deal was that his companion in the car a man who was hungry, too, didn 't remember until they rolled back to town that the whole time he had canned coffee, hamburgers, beans and soup in the car And it was all that new-fangl- can-ned food, that heats itself like magic when you open the can. Baby had better luck. When baby snowbound it was in a cos!y got where there was food sheep camp and plenty of company. Have you guessed now? There 's an answer somewhere in this paper Did you recognize Rom Shields Who's Who ? in last week's Raise Funds For Cancer Society During April West Millard division of the Cancer Society will join the national fund campaign in the month of April according to Mrs. Biah Sjostrom, captain. The society sponsors a program of education and service to cancer patients, which saves lives. The funds that are raised across the nation each April are used by the American Cancer Society to help control can-cer, mainly by research. Four points in the Society's pro-gram are 1. Cancer research. 2. Improvement and expansion of fac-ilities for diagnosis and treatment. 3. Advancement of the knowledge of professiona lgroups. 4. Educat-- ; ion of the public on the nature of cancer and ways to control it. Among those who get cancer in a given year, 25 get treatment in time and recover; 25 delay treatment too long, and die need-lessly; 50 die because research has not as yet discovered enough about the cause and cure of cer to save their lives. Cancer is a public enemy, second only to heart disease. Notable ad-- i vances have been made in the dia-- , gnosis and treatment of cancer in recent years. Since 1945 the ACS has allocated about 6 million dol-- s lars to research. West Millard's quota in the fund campaign for the American Cancer Society, opening April 1, is $500, same as in 1948. .
