GEO. WELDON OF PARIS
INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

George Weldon, manager of the
Paris Drug Co.. is confined in the
McCammon hospital with one hip
broken and otherwise bruised, the
injuries resulting from the auto over
turning in which he and Ed Marshall,
Logan Dunford, Warren and Leslie
Bramer were returning from Poca-
tello. where they had been to attend
the Sells-Floto circus. The accident
happened near McCammon about
noon Wednesday. The roads were
slippery from a recent rain and the
car started to skid and before Mr.
Marshall, who was driving, could
stop it, the car overturned twice.
Mr.. Weldon was the only one OF
the occupants injured. He was con-
veyed to McCammon as quickly as
possible, and given proper medical
attention. At this writing, Thursday
noon, we were unable to learn just
how serious Mr.. Weldon's injuries
are

NEWSPAPER SITUATION
IS GETTING SERIOUS

That the print paper situation is
getting serious is evidenced by the
fact that at this time none of the
wholesale paper houses in Salt Lake
have in stock any white paper of the
size used in printing the Examiner.
Furthermore. In telephone communi-
cation with the manager of the West
ern Newspaper Union Wednesday
morning that gentleman said that 1t
was impossible to tell when they
would have any of this particular
grade of paper in stock, as the paper
mills could not give them any infor-
nation as to when a shipment would
be made.
We have in stock enough paper
on which to print four more issues of
the Examiner, and we certainly hope
to be able to replenish our stock
before this supply Is used.
To add to the seriousness of the
situation is the prospect of the rail
roads being tied up by reason OF a
strike

DUCK SEASON DOES NOT
OPEN UNTIL SEPT. I

In last weeks Examiner we pub
lished an article from the Boise Cap
ital News in which that paper stated
that the state game department will
recognize the first day of September
as the opening date for the shooting
of ducks, geese. snipe, plover and
swan" Since that article was pub
iished in the Boise paper the state
game warden seems to have changed
his mind on this matter. for he has
sent notices to forest officials and
deputy game wardens stating that
the duck season will not open until
Sept. 7. AS the state game warden
has "wabbled" on the question as TO
when the duck season really opens,
hunters could hardly be blamed for
violating the law. However. ali true
sportsmen who have been advised al

season should pass the word along
