cooperation tion which will be colorful and add drama to the scene the celebration will willbe willbe willbe be heralded by the slogan PEACE PROSPERITY and PROGRESS I We shall expect to see among the cavalcades ca some representatives es of the wonderful State of Utah and perhaps same of those will be from Park City How about your our sending a load of silver bullion bars accompanied by some min min- miners miners miners ers with their picks shovels sho etc I suppose they look quite different from those I remember from the days when I was part of the Juvenile population I cf the Park In those days the miners were terrify terrify- terrifYIngly terrifyingly tall aid aj d some wore black bInd terrifY mus 1 mus- mus mustaches mustaches and wide brimmed felt hats Their shirts were of red flannel And I think they wore slickers sUckers of yellowish oil oil- oiled j ed cd silk or something like that 1 They were quite heroic looking those I 1 former Park City miners when they were sober but when they were full of spirits they were howling and often dangerous I with their guns knives fists or other I Implements Do you remember the one who lived in a cabin up the canyon I with his poor tired wife and six or more children As I recall It their house had only a dirt floor and sometimes In rainy weather It was a mud floor When full of alcohol this particular man was very willful and took the law Into his own hands Repeatedly he had been warned not to catch fish by blowing blow- blow blowIng Ing them up with dynamite as they swam about in the nearby mountain streams But he paid no attention to the law And the sheriffs rather dreaded trying to take him into custody while the Judges would rather do something else than win his disfavor or by giving him hima a n sentence Matters slid sUd along and fin fin- finally finally ally the lawbreaker convicted and sen sen- sentenced sentenced sentenced himself For the blast set for the fish blew off his own right arm Of course he recovered reco and of course his work as a miner could not be continued But Dut what was to be done to feed the little wife and the six hungry children The long suffering and forgiving solons of the Park had a bright Idea They appointed the self punished one- one armed red shirred miner to the office of cf city marshal And he was the tho sternest strictest foxiest sheriff sherif Park City ever had bad Ill I'll venture to say As I remember the circumstances he was given a false arm by hy popular sub sub- And Instead of a carved hand band handIn bandIn In a kid glove as usually provided In those days for matured maimed d men ho he was given a B heavy y iron hook with a a. patent I clasp Perhaps the hook could be unscrewed un un- unscrewed unscrewed screwed from the wooden arm when the man was off duty and he wore a n gloved hand on festive e occasions but when n I saw him he always had the hook While he ho was marshal Justice was Jus jus- Justice just justice t tice and not leniency The hook book would be clasped around the arm of or a drunken man and there was no getting away Together they would walk down the street to the Jail or up the street as the case might be And If the drunken ono felt like staging a sit-down sit strike he lie was dragged along at a swift pace his captor being so tall and so strong and so determined that the law should be obeyed I There may have been one prisoner In those days who did not feel the hook And that might have been one who was popularly known as Fanny Full 0 O Rye an unfortunate lady from the east who suffered from periodical alcoholism But Dut ButI I think I shall leave that history till another time perhaps It would be more appropriate here to tell of my experience with a load of silver er bullion bars How- How However However ever er there Isn't time for that now If I were to write any more now I would like to put In a plea for the American Mercantile Marine which from our vantage point In San Francisco Bay we Judge to be In a very sad situation for some time and apparently from now on too Just why should the United States of America once heralded as a first class maritime country lose her exalted position position position tion among the countries of the known world in this respect Our shipping score is falling off rather rapidly so statis statis- statistics statistics statistics tics indicate perhaps because our gov gov- government government government officials haven't the required perspicacity to understand the problem plain though It is as the noses no s on their faces We hope they will wake up before our few remaining ships have been nosed out of or their slips In the harbors of America by the proboscides of the for for- foreign foreign foreign eign ships which are now having to carry much of our freight and ers With best wishes yours very sincerely MRS MARGARET MASON WHITNEY 2301 Ward Street Berkeley California fa p s Sa WHEN IN the boom year of 1929 the traffic death toll reached the new and awful high of deaths the nation was shocked shocked but but not sufficiently Now with business Indices rising steadily we seem to be embarking on a a. new boom year ear In accidents And there is a a. dan dan- danger danger danger ger that traffic deaths in 1937 will reach the mark Traffic control Is not yet et an exact science But authorities agree that far more Is known about It than Is being applied by the average community We need not kill 1111 men women and children this year If 1 we determine not to and If we put the goal of halting the cavalcade ca of death on the list
