Show : Casually : Obseioincj ji By Cliff Memmott ; "FARMERS ARE JUSTIFIED in posting their property against pheasant hunters," is a statement made a few days ago to me by a goqd-natured man who has always been friendly to the nimrods who have hunted pheasants on his farm over the years .... This farmer had a justifiable "beef", and most certainly can -not be blamed if next year he not only posts his place, but sits on the fence with his shot gun and keeps hunters out. MACHINERY MISSING This farmer has all the evidence needed to accuse some so-called sportsmen sports-men with stealing a valuable piece of his machinery .... Then there is another stockman who lost a young pure-bred Hereford bull, which was shot and killed during the hunt. . . . And still another report comes this way of a valuable valu-able bull that lost an eye because of a careless hunter. A GOOD SPORTSMAN, in my language, is a person who can win or lose graciously or one who respects the rights of his neighbor during a hunting season, whether he be a hunter, a stockman stock-man or a farmer. There are other qualifications, but these will illustrate il-lustrate the point. -co--The reason why Some people get lost in thought, is that it is unfamiliar territory to them. --co-- READ IT FIRST Down in Corpus Cor-pus Chrisi, Tex., Manuel Graza has won a beef against the cops. He was arrested for drunk driving and was hustled off for a blood test. A policeman handed him a release re-lease to sign. But Manuel was sober enough to insist on reading the fine, type and darned if he wasn't giving his consent for amputation of a leg! Naturally he refused to sign anything, and when the police sheepishly admited to the judge that the wrong form had been used, Manuel went free. Let it be a lesson to you. Never get blind drunk in more than one eye at a time. Knoxville (Tenn.)

Allred, Bluebell, and Mrs. McNeil Mc-Neil Duncan, Neola, go those 'Free' one-year's subscriptions to the new Uintah Basin Standard . . . These three perserving souls accepted my challenge last week and counted the names of individuals appearing appear-ing in the Nov. 29th issue of the Record and Standard .... Mrs. Wardle not only counted all 728 names in the Record, but she copied them down in long-hand to prove it. COUNTED ONLY ONCE There was a difference in the number of names Mrs. Allred and Mrs. Duncan reported they counted in the Standard However, I'm sure they are both rightMrs. Allred found the same name appearing several times and counted eaih only once. She reported 1296 . . . Mrs. Duncan reports there were 1638, and her count did not include in-clude Poco Jim She apparently counted names, regardless of how many times they appeared. ALL THREE QUALIFY Because all three answers came in the same mail, duplicate "Free" subscription sub-scription gifts are being given these good people Confidentially, I didn't take time to check either of them for accuracy So unless someone proves them wrong, we'll assume there were 2366 names, excluding Poco Jim, appearing appear-ing in the Record and Standard on the week of Nov. 29 . . . Thanks for joining in this little fun game. --co-- It happened Dec. 1, 1891 A new, fast game called "basketball" "basket-ball" demonstrated at YMCA in Springfield, Mass. --co-- SPACE TROUBLES Last week we had a couple of letters set up as a part of this column. However', we ran -into space troubles, and had to hold it up for this week. I'm. sorry the very informative and interesting letters are late making print, and do appreciate the contributions con-tributions that come along once in a while. Thought you would be interested interest-ed in a couple of letters I received receiv-ed the past week. One tells about some of our local boys who are competing' in the athletic program at Dixie College. The other is a fine expression of thanks to Myton City' for help given in a recent fire at the Standard Gilsonite mine. . . . The letters: Honorable Mayor W. H. Linck Myton, Utah Honorable Mayor Linck: This is ' a belated letter of acknowledgement for the fine efforts ef-forts of your fire department at the fire that destroyed the surface sur-face mine equipment at our property proper-ty on September 4, 1956. The efforts ef-forts of your fine fire organization, as well as citizens of Myton, are most deeply appreciated. This office of-fice would appreciate your extension exten-sion of our fine appreciation to the proper people involved. I am sure you understand there was a' great financial loss to us, and at this time we are extending a small check to the Myton City Fire Department Fund. I hope that in the future we will be able to : make a greater contribution. We are also sending a check to Mr. Babcock for his fine efforts in our behalf. Sincerely, Fred Tedesco --co-- Experience is what you get when you're looking for something some-thing else. --co-- Rosevelt Standard Roosevelt, Utah Dear Mr. Memmott: I certainly enjoyed receiving the Roosevelt Standard here in St. George, and all the Roosevelt students are very anxious to follow fol-low the people at home through your paper. I thought I would just drop you a line and give you a run-down on a few of the boys and what they are doing. Robert Chapoose has won a place in the community here. He has developed into a real student and a person who is looked look-ed up to by younger individuals. Robert did an excellent job as tackle this year and may be in contention and consideration for high honors before long. I will keep you informed as to new developments concerning Robert and athletics. Gordon played end for us and was consistently tops in that position. posi-tion. Gordon has been chosen President of the Dixie College Letterman's Club. Ernie has been playing at the other end and has done real well. Ernie will be back with us again next year. Jack Alexander was one of our reserve re-serve quarterbacks, he did not play too much, but contributed greatly toward our success. Golden Heed likewise, was in the same capacity. It is through boys like these that Dixie has fought her way from consistently being last every year in the conference, to winning the championship this, year. At the present time, we are in contention and consideration for the Junior Rose Bowl at Pasadena, and the Potato Bowl Game at Bakers-field, Bakers-field, California. We were rated 5th in the nation in the Junior College Western Division (west of the Mississippi). I would like to congratulate the Roosevelt people in the support of their High School team this year, we- are only sorry that they too, did not go to the State finals. I hope that all is going right with you and sincerly wish that you were running a newspaper in our town. SinceTly yours, Sack S. Arslanian Head Football Coach Director of Athletics 30 |
