Show Ruminatiri & Roundabout j In which Ruminator proposes to dream a lot, think as little as necessary, scatter a few bouquets bou-quets while their objectives are ' " still above the sod to enjoy them, and fire a hot-shot now and then while said Ruminat or can enjoy seeing the sparks fly. Written on one of the letterheads letter-heads put out by the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah, The News is in receipt of the following follow-ing letter bearing on our criticism of the poorly edited advertising pamphlet put out by the association, associa-tion, Ray Carr, office secretary of the association, having been the special objective of our hot-shot. The letter is properly signed but, not having the gentleman's consent con-sent to publication, his name is not being used. "The Milford News, Milford, Utah. Gentlemen: "Just a line to hand you a bouquet bou-quet for the "fall out" you took at the Exalted Secretary of the Civic Clubs under date of June 27. Am wondering if it would be asking too much of you to mail the first page of that issue to His High-ness, High-ness, the Lord Secretary of our Club, that he might get a glance at the slant his humble subjects and peons hold in their minds of him. It would take a lot more than is in the first column of your paper to jar his CRUST of EGO and SARCASM and this would merely cause him to feel that he is getting a bit of ATTENTION. "Seriously, down deep in my inner in-ner combines, I feel that Frank Martines does not know the utter contempt the membership holds " " for the Monarchial Sec. His. Highness High-ness is doing, or rather is undoing, undo-ing, the good work the Club is and has been doing for ius. What is your judgment of the idea of mailing a copy of that page to both Frank and to His Lordship? Frank Martines is a lifelong close friend of mine and I hope he may see the wise course of ridding himself of this barnacle!" bar-nacle!" W. H. Child, big Salt Lake mining min-ing man and stock broker, who is vitally interested in the Frisco - mining district, was a Milford ; visitor Saturday and in the course of a brief conversation, expressed himself in no uncertain terms as favoring a shorter route of reaching reach-ing Milford from upstate than going around by way of Beaver. A Delta-Milford highway is what he is most interested in seeing constructed but making a good road of the Cove Fort-Milford cutoff would suit him very well until the other road could be built Pifthermwe, Mr. Child !a bo strong for this shorter upstate up-state connection that he is also al-so strong against anyone who is not favorable to such a project pro-ject with a $1200 annual gas and oil account, among others, that should "talk turkey" to some of our local people who are lukewarm to a north-and-south highway. Incidentally, ye News editor a couple of weeks ago had a brilliant bril-liant thought and suggested to Walter James, Black Rock mayor, bishop and chief of police, that he arrange a big free Jjarbecue to be given at that place in the near future. A3 guests specially invited in-vited to the feast would be people interested in this new north-and-south highway from as far north as Ogden and as far south as Caliente or farther the cost of the barbecue to be defrayed by Milford and Delta people. Interest in this route is increasing increas-ing every day and more and more people are coming to realize the very real need of the fastest possible motor route between two great travel objectives Salt Lake and Los Angeles. All that is needed in crystalizing this sentiment senti-ment is something like this suggested sug-gested barbecue and the affair could be made one of huge proportions pro-portions if worked out thoroughly and properly publicized. What about it Black Rock, Milford and Delta people? These towns would be "made" if there could be secured se-cured far this valley the long, Straight and level road that could be built at such a moderate mod-erate cost compared with the cuting. filling, grading and widening operations that are going to be necessary before highway 91 becomes really safe and satisfactory for the fast trafic which Ls increasing every year. Let's have the viewpoint of some of you people on this matter. (Continued on last pace) Ruminatin j (Continued from first page.) An idea of the desirability of The Milford News as an advertising advertis-ing medium may be gained by the fact that $1.71 was paid out lot air express charges alone on each of two ads for the Schenley Pro-duets Pro-duets company of New York and Frankfort, Kentucky, which appear ap-pear in this number of The News! Delivered to us only 3t" hours out of New York was the record set by W. E. Martin, local Railway Express agent, the package having hav-ing come by rail from Salt Lake to Milford. We have heard of girls, with chappy knees but, what of our handsome scholarship campaign manager with his sun-burned shins! "Church" delights in explaining ex-plaining all about it! Down in our mental notebook goes a most interesting conversation conversa-tion Wednesday morning with Mrs. Harold C. Sauter, now of Salt Lake but a resident of South 1 Milford for some four years. Since leaving here two years and a half ago she and her husband have had a wide variety of experiences, including in-cluding dropping into Omaha just as the bank holiday was declared and they with only 50c in change and an empty gas tank; later a term of teaching school in the Ozarks at London Smoke, Missouri, Mis-souri, where she had 38 pupils enrolled en-rolled and was lucky if 20 attended; at-tended; with their car one of only three in the community; and good old mountain moonshine in pro-i pro-i cess of manufacture in every hidden hid-den glen. But those same people boast long and loud of their uncontami- nated Anglo-Saxon blood! And Mrs. Sauter returns to hei ' native Utah with a happy outlook i on life, a ready and witty tongue , and very real ability as a charm-i charm-i ing reconteur. I o |
