' ' I I l ;"r" - - ( ' ' I I . j I i j i ', '(.. e k i.. ; ' ' ... ... .. - & I ai.:1 i Here is a picture that must be around 40 years old, more or less, for the subject is in the same fix, either pushing or past 40. And this picture is a rare treat, as the child shown here was a young man when he first came to Delta, Feb. 1932. If it weren't for this likeness we would have no idea how he looked as a young fellow. He come of a family of 11 child-ren, born and raised in another part of Utah. For some time after his arrival in these parts, said young man was a farm hand, pit-ching in with others of the family to keep the ranch running. Then he got married, and about the time his son started second grade, he moved into Delta. That was in 1942, and he has been a Deltan since. He is not a farmer any more, except at heart. He is a veteran of World War II, with service overseas. He now has a family of four children .He is a well-know- n employee of a large local firm. Surely you have guessed now who this is. Goodlooking little chap, wasn't he? And all dressed up too, from head to foot.- Especially fetching are that jaunty checkered cap and those perky little sandals. A mite scared of the camera, he is clut-ching something to give him Probably bribed with a cookie. This picture was originally tak-en as an entry in a best - looking baby contest held in the lad 's home town. Sad to relate, he did not win the contest. He was 18 months old at the time.

Signs New 10- - Year Contract with Telluride Power A new contract with the Telluride Power Company was sign ed Wednesday by Ephraim City of-ficials after the same had been considered and approved by the city council in special meetings. The contract replaces a previous contract signed in the fall of 1944 by a former administration and through which Ephraim has been purchasing Telluride Power for more than five years. Use of power has increased so rapidly that transformers at the substat-ion are being taxed to the limit during peak load periods and also the old contract is proving too ex-pensive for this peak power. Under the new rate it is expected the city will save some $20,000 in power purchases from Telluride within 10 years. FACTS ON CASE NOT AVAILABLE Rumors are rife concerning an incident alleged to have happened Tuesday night, when a man was set upon, by men or a man, bopp-ed on the head, peeled of coat and shirt, and left minus a wallet. This report is necessarily vague as the law enforcement officers are busy investigating that case and have not time to make ais a report. So, watch for next week's issue for further developments. W. O. Cluff of Richfield and ad-vertising manager for the Tellu-ride Power company suffered a stroke about three weeks ago and is still in a serious condition. His condition is such that only mem-bers of the family are allowed to visit with him. LeRoy Skidmore and Eugene Holman, students at the BAC, are among the students from the mus-ic department who go on tour on Feb. 6 in southern Utah and Ne-vada, giving programs at various schools. |
