Show f' CLIFF MEMMOTT, Edi;or :t: m PAPERS, SEARS CATALOG" TAKE js BACK TO THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" .... This week I am indebted to Cy Larsen, native of May-x May-x eld Utah, and a resident of the Uintah Basin since about e-f ,L' for a stack of old weekly newspapers published and t: inted in Myton and Vernal as far back at 1911. .- . . The 1 ; 'Lg t,ere at the Standard and Record offices have had a lot of good laughs, and have learned things of historical value from these papers and the catalog.- "Cy" tells us that he and his wife were the first couple f to be married in Roosevelt after it had been established as I atown) and that was 41 years ago on May 10th. He found the old' newspapers, that are yellowed with age, in a house in Roosevelt, and brought them in to let us see copies of The Duchesne Record; The Myton Free Press and The Vera-" Vera-" al Express. . . . Each of the issues is extremely interesting- and they have helped me learn a little about the early history his-tory and geography of the Uintah Basin. I mentioned something about a Sears Roebuck catalog being among "Cy" Larsen's collection. . . . Believe me, that is about the funniest thing I have seen since I was a kid and Charlie Chaplin was the screen's most popular comedian c ... I wish it were possible to reproduce pages from the ' cslalog to let you people see what grandmother and grand- dad wore back forty years ago, in 1911, date of the catalog. How'd you like to buy a pair of top grade men's dress . shoes, patent leather bottoms and calfskin uppers, for $2.50 -the best Sears had to sell 40 years ago. . . . Then there Is their advertisement about men's suits, "Tailored to Measure Meas-ure Clothes for Men, $8.00 to $35.00" . . And, farmers, how'd you like to be able to buy a 10-horse power stationery sta-tionery motor for $29.95 the best Sears carried? .... Then K: there is the best obtainable house paint, 85c to $1.23 per gallon. . . . Wouldn't it be wonderful if Mother or Sister could buy a new spring hat, loaded with plumes and flowers, flow-ers, for $1.95 to $3.39? .... Yes sir, "Them Wuz The Good S Old Days." jj If you are interested in browsing through the old Sears 7 Roebuck catalog, or lookir,- over the 40-year-old newspa- perg, drop into the office ei.d we'll be glad to let you en-t en-t joy them with us there are really plenty of laughs to go around. 1 ji v E v ' ROW TOJAVE A .LIFE , ??DhT THE CANCER DRIVE ! The American Cancer Society has a sensible approach j to the problem of how to save lives from a disease whose cause is unknown. Its method is to teach the individual , ihe seven danger- signals of cancer and remind him that although they may not mean cancer, the common sense re- ( action is to see his family doctor and make sure. When detected de-tected early, cancer can be cured. 1 Teaching cancer facts, like anything else, relies on repetition. For that reason we are printing here the seven ; danger signals that you may have seen in our news columns. . 1- Any sore that does not heal. I 2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. J' 3. Unusual bleeding or discharge. A 4. Any change in a wart or mole. Jj 5. Persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing. ': ' 8- Persistent hoarseness or cough, t" 7. Any change in normal bowel habits, j These may mean cancer; they should always mean a visit to your doctor. The best way to reduce the cancer death toll estimated 210,000 persons this year is to start by saving one "fe - your own. Another sensible step is to see to it that the people y J are fighting cancer have the funds they need. In ad-"ion ad-"ion to wide-spread public and professional education, the erican Cancer Society performs many services to can-ff can-ff Patients and supports a multi-million dollar research 0 ?ogram- An extra dollar contributed by you will speed the jjj v when cancer no longer will be a major health menace. ! v E v The Nevada Legislature recently passed, and the gov-! gov-! , 01 s'gned, a law outlawing future labor contracts which Prior membership in or the joining of a labor union, editorial on this, the Los Angeles Times said: "Either stj sed or the union shop gives to labor officials a ,0 h n a worker: ne must obey their orders or Only ls, ivehd.
