Show 3b -1 'and Know? The discussion is still waxing hot on the proposed auction yard in Roosevelt. Some exclusive exclus-ive residential sectionalists with sensitive nostrils continue to complain about the expected bovine smell if the auction yard is placed on the planned site. (But there are worse smells. I wonder whether they have ever been close to Dry Gulch, a creek running right through the middle of town, in hot weather.) Seriously, however, their complaints com-plaints have merit, provided there is ground available for an auction yard far enough away from town, so the smell won't be annoying in the residential resi-dential area. If not, the critics should keep the following facts in mind: Dr. Elroy Nelson, of the University Uni-versity of Utah, in an economic survey undertaken a short time ago, listed a local livestock marketing mar-keting outlet as one of the prime requisites for development develop-ment of the Uintah Basin area. Progress cannot b e stifled. Farmers and ranchers in the area are desperately in need of livestock marketing facilities. And, if the outlet is not established estab-lished in Roosevelt, it will be set up elsewhere in the area, and this town will lose another source of revenue. If Ogden, for instance, were squeamish about odors, the town would not be what it is today. Los Angeles would be a small town without its smog and the industry it represents. Food for thought. Now to the lighter side of life. March 19 was a big day in the lives of the Roller sisters, sis-ters, Mrs. Ernest Roberts and Mrs. John Wogec baby girls were born to each at the Roosevelt Roos-evelt hospital. Two big shows are lined up for the Roosevelt area within the next week or ten days. It looks as if the two Pats, Mar-key Mar-key and Roberts, and others have quite a minstrel show underway un-derway for 8 p. m., March 30, at the Stake house, the proceeds to benefit the Uintah Basin District Boy Scouts. Two days later, on April 1, at 8:15 p. m. in the Stake house, KSL artists, Harry Clarke, "the genial gentleman of song," and Bernice and Lowell Hicks, outstanding out-standing marimba artists, will present an evening of organ, piano, and marimbaphone entertainment. enter-tainment. The proceeds will go towards building the new seminary sem-inary at Union high school. Speaking of Union high school, you might discard many of the rumors circulating around about the place. When the building build-ing is ready for occupancy next fall, it should present itself as one of the finest schools in the state. The auditorium has been cut from the plans, of course, but the 1,000 seat gym should eliminate elim-inate the problem there. The building itself is a lot larger than most people think. If you don't think so, go out sometime and have a look. |
