No. IS Sugar Home, Utah Thursday, April 17, 1958 Price 10 Cents Sugar House Chamber Honors Old Timers Oldtimers of Sugar House were honored at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wed-nesday. The occasion was part of the quiet celebration of the 104th anniversary of the nam-ing of Sugar House. To qualify as an oldtimer, a person must have been in busi-ness in Sugar House for 25 years or more. Ray D. Free introduced each oldtimer present, relating stor-ies about their early experi-ences in the community. "I believe Sugar House is un-usual,"" he said, "in the per capita number of men still ac-tively managing their busi-nesses and leading in commun-ity affairs even though these men are in their 70's or 80's". Mr. Free mentioned such men as his father, Roy Free, A. R. Curtis, Willard B. Richards, Jr., George T. Dixon, Earl J. Glade and others. He noted that there are also a number of eldtimers who have recently retired after lifetimes of service to the area around the plaza. "The outstanding thing about these men," said Mr. Free, "is the fact that they are still thinking' in terms of the fu-ture, and helping Sugar House grow." A surprise musical number was given by M. J. Weight, Chamber president, who ap-peared in western costume and sang western songs. Sugar House oldtimers in-clude A. R. Curtis, Elbert R. Curtis, Dale Curtis, George T. Dixon, J. Roy Free, Ray D.

Starting out his life in Michi-gan, Richard was interested in baseball. He came naturally by this interest, his father played hn with tfi Detroit Tierers. So it was inevitable that he should do pretty well in the sport, so well that he played both with the bush team of the New York Yankees and for the Muskeagen, Michigan team. So much for the summer months and baseball, what about winter? . . Hockey, of course. Since the people in Michigan feel about hockey the way peo-ple in Utah feel about skiing, Richard became a hockey play-er He achieved a very diffi-cult thing in this field, he was high point scorer for two years in a row in Muskeagen. Guns hold a fascination for this man also, he is a lifetime Association and held the 'Nat-ional Rifle Championship of Michigan for 3 years. But perhaps the true love of his life will always be tennis. Way back in 1936, he traded his first car for equipment-rack- ets, and balls, in order to play in the midwestern tourna-ments. Anybody who knows the value a boy places on that first automobile has an idea of what tennis meant to THIS boy. He has never gotten over this deep love for the game. He became tennis champion of Michigan and Connecticut. And he has played such well-kno-wn men as Fred Perry (in-cidentally the most difficult game Richard ever played), Sidney Wood, and George Lott. Among the old time tennis champions, he played Harold King and Benny Rich. After the service, he went to California. Santa Monica, where he met his wife. She was then one of the top ranking players in the nation. Most able play-ers in the area will remember her as' June Crow. They played together, against each other, and since Richard felt that "if you can't lick them, join them," they were married in 1949. ' While in California, he worked in connection with Mr. Perry Jones for the Tennis Youth Foundation. The purpose of the foundation was the pro-motion of better tennis - teach-ing and better facilities for the youth of California. They worked under the premise that the more kids on the tennis courts, fewer in juvenile courts and ... .
