This Week in History, as reported by the Summit County Journal for the week of August 20, 1921:
Taxpayers discuss the financing of the auditorium
About 50 taxpayers and a few other interested non-taxpayers gathered in the district courtroom on Tuesday evening to discuss the importance of completing and funding the school auditorium.
TA Brown said that given the current high material and labor costs, he did not think it advisable at this point to go further with the construction of the auditorium than the money available would warrant.
JA Traylor, President of Royal Tiger Mines Co., stated that he was ready to do what he believed was in the best interests of the community. He advocated enclosing the building and leaving all future expenses in place until costs could be reduced. The meeting ended with the consensus that the financing question should be decided by the school board.
Mills Howard Wedding Delights the Community
Last Sunday morning, Rev. OM Bowman conducted the wedding ceremony to unite the lives and fortunes of Mr. Lloyd Emerson Mills of Craig and Miss Ella Marion Howard of Breckenridge. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. AC Howard.
In addition to the parents, about a dozen relatives and friends witnessed the ceremony. Miss Edith Howard was playing the wedding march when the bride, dressed in white and carrying roses in her father’s arms, entered, followed by the groom with the bride’s mother.
Since the companions from Craig wanted to start their return journey as soon as possible, only light refreshments with ice cream and cake were served.
The bride is one of Breckenridge’s favorite daughters, born and raised here, charming, talented, and well-versed. She is a graduate of Breckenridge High School and State Agricultural College.
Boy Scouts go to Park County for camp week
A group of 15 boys, accompanied by the guides Dr. Master Boy Scout MJ McKenna and Chester Detwiler left for Warm Springs Ranch, about 6 miles from Fairplay, Tuesday morning, where they enjoyed camp life for the rest of the week.
The drive to the ranch was in cars, with JD Harlan and CW House at the wheel. George Robinson started out with some Boy Scouts but problems with his car caused him to cancel the trip about 5 miles from town and the children were moved to one of the other cars.
Last year they took a trip down the Blue River at the annual event, and they decided that a change of scenery this year would be good. You will enjoy the outdoor life and will be trained in the various outdoor activities required by Scouts.
