Several men who are leaders in the farm electrification movement have expressed their belief that the farmer appreciates fully the humanitarian aspect of electric power on the farm, over and above its value to him in dollars and cents. M.H. Aylesworth, executive manager of the National Electric Light Association, asserts his conviction that electricity will add from 15 to 20 years to the lives of farm women and will in many cases change misery into happiness.

When the Liberty Bell tours Wyoming during the U.S. Savings Bond Independence drive, which opens May 15, it will be transported from town to town on a Ford truck driven by Walter Albertson of Cheyenne, employee of the Gallagher Transfer and Storage Company.

He will leave for New York May 16, making the trip by airplane. In Gotham he will attend a one-day school for drivers of the Liberty Bell trucks learning how to manipulate the loudspeaker and other equipment which is installed on the special vehicle. He will then head back to the sagebrush country to show the bell in every section of Wyoming. Patriotic programs are being planned throughout the state for its reception.

Attention Lovell area residents. If you are driving and see a vehicle with a red flashing strobe light, please pull over and get out of the way; it’s a fireman responding to the fire hall on an emergency call. The new strobe lights were recently purchased by the Lovell Volunteer Firemen, one for each fireman’s personal vehicle, to help other drivers see the vehicles responding to fires. Without the strobe light, many firemen used hazard lights that have often gone unnoticed by area drivers.

A sculpture adorned with more than 500 pieces of previously chewed gum and a white on black pastel drawing of a giraffe earned blue ribbons for two Rocky Mountain High School art students at the Wyoming High School Activities Association Art Symposium held in Casper April 24-26. The artwork of Shania Foster and Taylor Gilford were selected from more than 5,000 works of art.

Using gum as her inspiration, Foster created a sculpture called “A Night Out,” made from a mannequin purchased for $20 on eBay and an old pair of flats cast off by her grandmother. To create her piece, Foster solicited the help of a group of sixth graders, who chewed blue and green colored “Five” brand gum, which she later used to make a dress and a necklace for her mannequin. She used the wrappers from the gum and empty packages to make a skirt.
