Show I CHATTER I With Our Readers j Last fall Indians gathering pine-. nuts over the line in Nevada prognosticated prog-nosticated a severe winter owing to heavy burrs on the nut. In the course of the sub-zero temperatures of the past week we are inclined to believe in any of the nutty signs, even to what the ground hog will say next Tuesday. A coasting lane has been established establish-ed from the top of the hill on Fifth avenue to Main street, where the kiddies may safely enjoy the winter sport. Barricades have been installed install-ed by the city to keep automobiles oil' this section. Promiscuous coasting coast-ing on any of the streets is hazardous, hazard-ous, and parents should see that their 'children go to this coasting zone when wanting to indulge in this sport. Literary ability of residents of this part of the state is rather pronounced pronounc-ed in the number of winners in the $5.00 prize contest sponsored by the Intel-mountain Product column in the News each week. Last week Carlton Culmsee, of Nada, won the prize on a fifty-word story "Why you should use intermountain made goods." The previous week Mrs. William Twitch-ell, Twitch-ell, Jr., of Beaver, won the prize, and a few weeks ago Mrs. Jeanette Koh-ler Koh-ler and Mrs. Edmund L. Smith, of Milford, each received a cash prize for their stories. Dr. J. E. Parker, meat inspector for this county, informs us that there are many people butchering and selling sell-ing meats in quarters and smaller amounts, without the formality of having it inspected. This in itself is a violation of the law, and as much of this meat is sold within the town limits of Milford a second violation is made when the parties fail to secure a peddler's license. The persistent continuation of these violations will result in some of the parties contributing contri-buting liberally to the town and county coffers. Are you dropping your loose change in the V. F. W.'s milk bottle daily ? Many are, and the vets ara highly pleased with the results of their novel plan. The money goes to the school milk fund for undernourished under-nourished children. The first week the bottles were placed in the various var-ious business houses, over $22 was collected by the vets and turned over to the school. Since then the average has been a little above $10 a week, a standard the boys hope may be maintained. main-tained. Les Clay has a -way of enticing en-ticing his customers to drop their extra ex-tra change in the bottle left in his garage that gives him the distinction of having the best filled bottle so far. Remember the kiddies when shopping in our local stores and drop a few nickles and dimes in these bottles. The Vets are doing a wonderful work. Hoboes are kept safe in Milford. Teddy Kronholm, deputy sheriff, is not only accomodating in furnishing" them lodging in the town bastile, but in order that they are safe, he carefully care-fully locks the door each night, to see that they are kept safe. This little matter not only protects the town from transients who might take a notion to prowl around in the wee small hours, but the transients are also protected. If any depredation depreda-tion occurs, no suspicion can be attached at-tached to those occupying the berths in the jail. From five to a dozen wanderers apply for lodging during these cold night, but strange as may seem, Mayor 'Hubbell reports that there are not as many transients as during more prosperous years. Those on the road now are seeking work, while the habitual hobo, who finds an excess number resorting to his avocation, avo-cation, remains in warmer climes and travels less. |
