Show CLIFF MEMMOTT, Editor The Welcome Mat Is Spread .... Next Wednesday the city of Roosevelt will again spread wide its Welcome Mat to friends and neighbors who will join in the 1955 annual Uintah Basin Industrial Convention. It was in 1923 the UBIC was first born, and from then until 1940 it became an almost tradition in the Uintah Basin. For some reason or other the UBIC was dropped in 1940 and was not revived until 1950. For five years the unique celebration, if it can be called that, has grown again to the proportions that its value to the people of the Uintah Basin can not be measured. Its chief aspect is that of education and assisting the man on the farm; the woman in the home; the 'teen-ager, all to become better able to take care of his individual job. Trained specialists will be here again to talk shop with the visitors. . . Then there will be cultural opportunities for those who want to visit the art exhibit, ex-hibit, the flower show, and hear some fine artists, perform in a musical way. Entertainment has not been overlooked by the committee, because there will be sports, dances, talent shows, a baby show and a fashion revue, and many other activities. As one looks over the program he will see some of the top men in the state listed as speakers at the general sessions and in the departmental meetings. The women have also skimmed cream from the field of outstanding feminine leaders in school and home training. Roosevelt swings wide the doors of entry on Aug. 3, 4 and 5, and extends a broad welcome to all local resident of the Basin, and others from far and near to be their guests at the annual UBIC next week- Come here and meet your old friends, and become acquainted with new ones it will be a week of beneficial bene-ficial time well spent. vEv Casually Observing ... "PEEPING TOMS" ARE BEING SOUGHT this week by the city police force of Roosevelt. For quite a long time frequent reports have come in of certain localities having had visitors who make a habit of peering into windows of homes where young women reside. A constant search has gone on by the police force, and some progress has been made. . . This week, or since Monday night, the town has really been buzzing with concern over an epidemic that has apparently started. . . Each person in Roosevelt, or any other town where "Peeping Toms" are at work, can be of great service if they will report suspicious characters who are seen hanging around the residential areas, to the local police. . . Someday they will catch up with the characters, charac-ters, and when they do I hope they give them the works. . . In the meantime it would be good advice to keep your houses locked and blinds drawn tightly as a precaution. It could be, a person who is so low that he will peer into a woman's bedroom window, might resort to more serious things to fill a desire. t WELL THEY DID IT AGAIN Those smooth operating opponents of the Upper Colorado River Program, yesterday delayed de-layed for another year the House action on the long, hard-fought hard-fought bill that, if approved, would someday give Utah and other upper basin states something God had willed they should have. . . 1 It is a strange incident if viewed from a political point The President of the United States and the entire administration has come out strongly in favor of the project yet the Republican party, Dwight D. Eisenhower's party, is the unit that sold him, the administration, and all the West (except California), down the river- . . I wonder what this will do to the GOP's chances of getting President Ike to lead them again in '56? . . . vEv A wedding is a ceremony at which a man loses complete control of himself. No opportunity is ever lost. The other fellow takes those you miss. You're only young once. After that, you've got to find new excuses for what you do. It takes a lot of time to get experience, and once you have it you ought to go on using it. 30 |
