Show 4 Ruminatin M Roundabout jf In which Ruminator proposes to dream a lot, think as little as necessary, scatter a few bou- , quets while their objectives are still above the sod to enjoy them, and fire a hot-shot now and then while said Ruminator Ruminat-or can enjoy seeing the sparks fly. The Junior class of the Milford high school has been working like tvojans but clever and intelligent trojans "to make their Junior Prom one of the most successful in the history of the school. And, knowing the initiative and resourcefulness re-sourcefulness of several of the members of the class through pleasant business and other contacts, con-tacts, The News predicts a complete com-plete social ond financial success! Elsewhere in this number of The News is a partial report of some of the activities undertaken by the Band and Orchestra Mothers club in their efforts to raise funds with which further to equip the Milford school band. Their work has been nothing short of wonderful wonder-ful and the results speak fully for that work. One feature which is deserving of special notice, however, how-ever, as showing the way in which the movement has been received by the people at large, is the voluntary volun-tary cash contributions, amounting amount-ing to ?27.35. Items of $1.00 or more included within that amount are as follows: Veterans of Foreign For-eign Wars Auxiliary, $3.00; U. P. Old Timers Auxiliary $6.10; Mrs. Otto Steenbock, $5.00; S. O. Rus-sey, Rus-sey, $1.00; Trainmen Ladies Auxiliary, Aux-iliary, $1.00; Lions Club (out of proceeds from Civics Clubs dance) "V $10.00; miscellaneous (amounts less than $1.00), $2.25. ' It is our opinion that the day of the C C C is going to be a long one that the plan, modified and adapted as time goes on, is going to be a permanent fixture. But, because of present limitations with which appear not to reward commensurate pay the outstanding work of some of the men, we fear that the Desert range C C C camp is going to be out one A-l clerk and The News a cracker-jack reporter re-porter of camp doings. Marv Smith, camp reporter for The News since last fall, when company ' 1964 went west, has been granted leave for a visit with his parents in New York state and that's all very fine but We're extremely fearful that the leave will become permanent and the C C C will be out said A-l clerk and Th News a friend and reporter who has the faculty of turning some of the niftiest phrases to come to our attention in years. Marv Smith is a naturally clever writer if there ever was one. But why not 7 ..We have learned since Marv's departure, depar-ture, that a Ph. D. following the name of his mother is quite lin place something of which she and Marv may well be proud. A Texas editor refuses to publish pub-lish obituary notices of people who, while living, failed to subscribe sub-scribe for his paper, and gives this pointed reason: "People who do not take their homo paper are dead anyway and their passing away has no news value". (He might have included "borrowers of the neighbor's pa. or" in the same category.) Those who did not attend the illustrated il-lustrated fire prevention talk given at the high school Wednesday evening eve-ning by Chief Piercey of the Salt Lake lire department, lost out on something really good. The fire laddies were there in full force and listened with keen attention but there was not much of a demonstration dem-onstration of the three-way cooperation coop-eration which really does exist in Milford between the volunteer fire department, the town and the business busi-ness men. Only three members of the Lions club were present and only one " of them was a Main street business busi-ness man! Not so hot! Maybe it'U take a goid (?) fire to wake up some of our business men to other means of fire prevention preven-tion than the buying of dance tickets and pats on the back for the fire laddies. Those evidences of support are very fine but the whole-hearted work of these fellows merits - equally whole-hearted interest in fire prevention. The praise of Chief Piercy for the local fire department, their efficiency ef-ficiency and interest and the co-(Continued co-(Continued on iast page.) Ruminatin (Continued from first page.) operation they have had, loud and unqualified as it was, was not empty flattery, he assured us. And if anyone were prompted to doubt the honesty of his praise, they should have been "in" on the conversation con-versation we heard when F. B. Gunderson, the man who sent him out here, called him up from Salt Lake relative to further meeting appointments. The good captain was equally vociferant to Gunderson Gunder-son in his praise of the local department. de-partment. This man Gunderson must be a very fine fellow and mighty capable too from what we know of him and the way he handles a multiplicity of details connected with the vocational activities of the state department of public instruction. in-struction. (It is he and his department depart-ment we may thank for the miners' and prospectors' school recently conducted in Milford by H. G. Walter). We should suggest, though, that Mr. Gunderson get a lineup of the papers located in the towns to which these various activities are being taken and furnish the editors edi-tors with some information relative rela-tive to the objectives sought and the ability of the parties being sent out. Such information, in the case of worthy activities, would be fully publicized by the editors in the various towns, we are confident. con-fident. And such able men as Chief Piercey would not be dropped in, much as a bomb (but a beneficial one) out of a clear sky. It's not quite fair to the man sent out or to the people to be benefited. I If you saw the picture, 'The Pursuit of Happiness," last week, perhaps you will get a bit of a kick out of seeing (in your imagination imag-ination as it is in ours) Father Coughlin and Huey Long doing a modern "bundling" act with blustery but keen-witted General Johnson chaperoning the loving pair! And, speaking of Hooey and calling to mind his "share-the-wealth" program, we don't feel to get very much excited over the idea. We never were fortunate except in love and, in the division di-vision of Henry Ford's wealth, it would just be our luck to get for our share one of lienry's big copper or iron mines instead of one of those shiny new V-8 sedans lined up in Bill Nichols' garage! |
