Show l ' By Cliff Memmott j ENJOYED VACATION Midge and I reurned Saturday 'evening from San Francisco where we participated in our first International. Interna-tional. Kiwanis convention. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of the largest convention of this service organization. We saw some of the best talent in the country perform on the entertainment enter-tainment part of the program. . . We heard outstanding speakers, among which was Secretary of State Dulles. . . . The greatest thrill of the whole affair was the selection of Utah's own Reed C. Culp as international president a man who has dedicated' his life to the advancement of this great service organization. I had the privilege of serving in a district capacity as Lt. Governor while Reed was the Utah-Idaho governor in 1949. He's a great guy and a great leader. SEND GREETINGS Traveling with Midge and me to the convention con-vention were Orson and Mille Stevens. It was our privilge to spend some time with a former Roosevelt family, Bishop and Mrs. Horace Ritchie. We enjoyed visit ing with them m their church activities on Sunday and the next Thursday were dinner and theatre guests of these fine people, who send their love and' friendship to all their frineds here in the Basin. Both are doing a great job in their church callings and are highly respected and loved by the people in Sunset Ward. --co-- People are lonely because they build walls, instead of bridges. --co-- MYSTERY SOLVED It was a gratifying experience today when it became known that the murderer of a lovely 17-year-old Vernal girl had been found and a full confession made. It's a most regretable fact that the criminal murderer was a married man with two children and a third one to be born soon. . . .That the 24-yearfold 24-yearfold Vern&l man took his own life after leaving a signed confession is most unfortunate for that poor wife and mother. However, How-ever, it is highly possible that the murderer would have paid for his crime with his own life had he lived to face the courts. This way is hard', but the family will not have to go through the horrible experience of long court trials and waiting- for the execution of the sentence he probably would have received . . .Then, too, trials cost the taxpayers a lot of money. "This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose pur-pose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation." Woodrow WilBon --co-- THIS AND THAT Midge and I want to thank everyone who cooperated last week in getting our two newspapers printed. : . . Copy came in early and all concerned con-cerned helped us to get a fine vacation. . . .Especially do we praise our staff members who did themselves proud in getting out two excellent newspapers. . .Your Support is needed in Roosevelt to aid the recreation program. The director said Monday that not too much response is coming from the people to make it successful. suc-cessful. ... I want to take a second and praise the Roosevelt street department for the fine job they are doing in keeping our business streets clean this summer. . . . Gone are the days of litter on our streets, and what a difference a clean street makes in attracting visitors to stop in our city. --CO-- "A small town's a place where a fellow with a black eye does not have to explain to people.
