Republicans Win AH Offices In Millard County Millard county went straight Re-publican in the election held here Tuesday, winning all o'ffices in the county and giving the state can-didates substantial majorities. The vote was extremely large with 3807 votes cast for United States senator, which was a surprise to all concerned. The totals for the candidates are official until they are canvassed by the commissioners, and all pre-cincts are in, and with most Re-publicans carrying a good major-ity of the votes there is not much chance of any changes. Roughly speaking the voting was 3 to2 in favor of the Republican candi-dates. Four west side candidates go in-to office, Archie O. Gardner as the state representative; Golden H. Black at term commission-er; LaVar Owens, as term commissioner, and Eldon A. Elia-so- n as county attorney. William Mitchell, incumbent county treas-urer, was high man of the coun-- 1 ty ticket, with Eldon A- Eliason, county attorney elect, running se-cond' high. In the state offices Wallace F. Bennett for United States senate, was high man, to-taling 2489 votes. In the race for state senate Pax-to- n won over Freer in Millard coun ty by 276 votes, .and Freer led Paxton in Beaver county by 55 votes, which places Paxton ahead of Freer by 221 votes. This is the third race between these two men and up to this election they had each won once. The county voting is as follows: For United States senate. Elbert D. Thomas (D) 1318 Wallace F. Bennett (R) 2489 For Congressman Walter K. Granger (D) 1522 Preston L. Jones (R) 2293 For Justify Supreme Court J. Allen Crockett (D) 1551 Joseph Nelson (R) 2262 For state senate C. E.

Stake Launches "Era' Campaign Deseret Stake has launched aj Era campaign in all of the 12 wards to meet their quota of sub-scriptions. The campaign this year is under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Clark stake Era di-rectors and all the ward Era di-rectors. The first ward to reach their quota was Oasis ward who com-pleted their drive two weeks ago under the direction of Howard Roundy , Era director. Hinckley ward came in second in reaching their quota under the direction of, Mr. and Mrs. Don A. Bishop, ward Era directors. The slogan is "The Era in Every Home" and this year attention is being called to five special phases of the campaign. First the over-a- ll phase of the campaign aims at inducing Church members to do "More Religious Reading", the sec-ond phase is a continuation of the effort to carry the Era to the In-dians, the third phase has to do with sending the Improvement Era to every member of the Church who goes into the Armed Services. The fourth feature of the campaipn has to do with the increased em-phasis being placed upon articles and features especially planned for vouth. A 'fifth approach in the cam -- paign is to encourage gift sub -- scriptions. While Christmas gift subscriptions are to be encouraged more intensively than ever before Era Subscriptions are to be encou-rang- e more intensively than ever before, Era subscriptions as wed-ding presents, for birthday remem-brances and other "gift" occasions are to be actively promoted. If you have not subscribed for the Era this year do so at once either by sending your money dir-ectly into Salt Lake or by con-tacting your ward Era directors or your MIA officers.

Moyle df the council of the twelve and John Longdon of the general welfare committee were the visiting brethern at Des-eret Stake quarterly Saturday ev-ening and Sunday. Speaking of the election and the duty of ie people to get out and vote , apostle Moyle said, "Christ- - ianity and democracy will thrive or perish together,. There is no reason why a person who is religi-ous and has definite religious con-victions should not likewise be in-terested in politics and have defin-ite political convictions." He further stated that the funda-mental principles of Christianity were involved in the political is-sues today. He made a plea to the people to vote for those prin-ciples and ideals of religion and for the candidates who would up-hold there principes and ideals. He forcefully denounced the sale of liquor by the drink and gambl-ing. He stated it was a fundamen-tal principle of the church that men should work "by the sweat of their brow" for what they get and be proud of their right to select their own occupation and course of action with no diction from federal agencies. He discouraged the use of subsdies and unearned income and condemned betting at horse races. He praised Deseret Stake and said it was blessed to have reat leads as President Finlinson, Pres- - ident Morris and now President Black. l the afternoon session brother Moyle encouraged the people to read the church publications - the "Era" and the "Deseret News". "The editorials in the Era are the word of God written by President George Albert Smith", he said. John Longdon of the church wel-fare committee told the people the welfare program was given to the church by the Lord, and as was predicted the program would not fail. "This program is not only suc-ceeding but it is bringing dignity and prestige to the church.", "he said. President June W. Black who conducted the morning session spoke about our missionaries in the field and asked the people to help them by living their religion and teach by their actions. "Let's make those we associate with feel that we have something", he said. President Jay Nielson conducted the afternoon session and expres-sed the group assembled was a great source of strength. "Live the teaching so that you may have a testimony", he said. President Verdell R. Bishop .told of how the youth of the church were making a better record than their parents in going to church. The average attendance o'f adults : l,. ntzo ...una tlio nttpnrlfince 1 Uin ..J o """ of youth is between 40 and 50. Eldon A. Eliason highcouncilman was a speaker in the morning ses-sion and told of the plans that were going forward in the building of the Delta Third ward and the new stake house. He told of the great need in the stake for an ade-quate building to house the 4600 membership in Deseret stake. Peo-ple were asked to pay their asses-- s me.nls and support the building pro ject. Returned missionaries Charles D. Jensen of Sugarville ward who lab-ored in Georgia and Florida and Calvin Dutson of Oak City ward who labored in the Spanish Amer-ican mission reported in the after-noon session. Ned Church, highcouncilman spoke of people being united and William Van Bishop new stake reus sion president expressed his joy (Continued on back page) Pheasant Season Plans Are All Complete for Hunt The Farm Bureau is rapidly completing all plans for the com-ing pheasant hunts to be held this Saturday afternoon and Sun-day and the following Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Farmers are bing signed up as fast as the committee can get to them, but in some cases have missed a few. These landowners are asked to get in touch with Fenton Gardner and sign up their lands, get their post-ers, and if wanter a deputy sher-iff badge, which the county com' missioners have agreed to 'furnish when neded. At the present time about 40, 000 acres are signed up. which will be open for hunting to anyone who wears a badge bought from one of the many places of sale in Delta and the outlying towns. These badges cost $2.00 each, are good for the season and all money goes to the hospital fund, with slight deductions for the cost of the badges and posters. 5,000 badges are on sale and it is hoped that they will be voluntarily1 bought so as to raise funds for this worthy project, and with as little trouble as possible to those who are de-putized, i i A recent article in a Salt Lake paper stated that Mr. Egan of the fish and game commission had not been consulted on the west Millard program. That is true. Mr. Egan was not consulted because the hos-pital committee did not want to be limited to those rules under the state plan. Under the state plan farmers must make an organiza-tion, collect no more than $1.00, and must limit the number of hnuters allowed in the area. The hospital association decided to charge $2.00 for the season, sign up all the land they could, and then not limit the number of hunters allowed in the complete area. Even though the plan is not according to the state plan, it is legal, as a property owner has the right to post his land in any way he wants, control the number of hunters on it and can give permis-sion to whom he pleases. It has not been the plan to bar hunters from west Millard area by limiting the number of permits as is being done in other places, but to try and find a workable plan to collect additional money for a hospital for west Millard. It is felt that the sportsmen will co-operate, buy the badges, and show good sportsmanship and care in entering the land signed up for them to hunt on. The badge automatically gives the pheasant hunters the right to enter land posted by the Farm Bureau which is easily ascertained as the signs are colored and state on them as being under the Farm Bureau in type below the "No Trespassing" print. Some farmers are posting "No Trespassing" signs and some are posting "No Hunting," to protect livestock in the fields, but they are a small minority as most have signed up under the Farm Bureau. These signs can be determined easily as they are black printing on a white card, all other colors of cafd are under the Farm Bur-eau plan. Farmers and the hospital com-mittee are' agreed in hoping the plan works out and without any trouble. Said one large land owner "if this plan doesn't work out sat-isfactorily to us and the psorts-me- n don't I will post my land so tough next year that no one will be allowed to hunt on it." Carnival Dance Is Friday Fun At Delta High The annual Carnival Dance, by the Art and Ag depts. of Delta high school, will be a gala event Friday night in DHS gym. The public as well as stude-nts are urged to attend. All carnival fun and games of skill will be part of the dance. There will be 17 booths around the dance floor, where patrons may try their dexterity at shooting darts, looping rings, or ringing loops, and lots more fun. Also there will be dancing to good music, with carnival hats, confetti and balloons. The funds raised at the dance will be used by the two departm-ents for equipment and supplies. Earl Steele Is Recovering From Heck Hurts Earl Steele , 15- - year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Steele, who was injured in football practice Oct. 23 at Delta high school, is now on the road to recovery at the LDS hospital. It will be a long time, however, before the recovery is complete. Earl had three vertebrae frac-tured in his neck where the skull joins. He has had two operations since he went to Salt Lake. The second was Saturday when a most delicate bit of surgery was done. The patient was on the op-erating table three hours, while the injured bones were laced with catgut into correct position. Now Earl will be in the hospital 10 days or so, and then be allow-ed to come home With his nekc in a' cast. After weeks in a c,ast, he will then spend more weeks wearing a neck brace. But consid-ering that the injury could so easily proved fatal, Earl and his family feel lucky at that. His mother is remaining in Salt Lake until he is released from the hos-pital to come home. Glen Seegmiller, DHS principal, . and Bruce Osborne, coach, visited the boy at the hospital Monday and report he is doing well. While there Mr. Osborne donated a pint of blood to replace the transfu-sion needed for Earl following the operation. Students Raise Funds Fellow students at Delta high ' school are conducting a campaign to raise 'funds to apply on the ex-penses incured by his injury. On Wednesday a drive opened, spon-sored by the Pep club, and stu-dents and faculty contributed. La-ter the school plans a movie and a school orchestra dance to raise additional funds.
