Harold Eugene Newspapers


Harold Eugene Shields
Newspapers 

I found 3 newspaper clippings that I would like to share.  They are in not very good shape and will be hard to read. 

The first one is of dad being Santa Clause. The photo could have been taken approximately 1962 and might have been in the Magna Times.  There are several children with him and it looks like they are winners of some kind of contest. When I found the newspaper clipping it was wadded up and torn.
 
The second photo could have also been in the Magna Times and I would guess the date was approximately 1959 – 1962. The photo caption reads: “H.E. Shields, G. W. Alldredge and James Coulson, left to right, continue to picket copper industry operations Friday pending ratification of agreements reached between unions and management. Work won’t resume until after union membership votes to accept contract terms.
 


The third article is about elections in 9 districts of Magna, Utah.  It could have also been in the Magna Times approximately 1963-1968.  I can remember my dad being involved in politics for a short time, but never understood what he was involved in.

“Magna Elected Council Committees Named; Town Work Moves Forward”
 
Caption under picture 1:  COMMITTEE NAMES: In charge of Constitution and By-Laws of newly enacted Magna Elected Council are left to right, Jimmie Hales, Eugene Shields, Earl Clegg, Rex Conradsen, and seated Kent Bowen, Chairman Dick Monsen has ben named secretary-treasurer 

Caption under picture 1:  HEAD ELECTION – Of the proposed Magna Elected Council are left to right Arthur Curtis, Carl Kohler, Mrs. Villa Williams, Don Thomas, Bernell Day, chairman.  These residents will proceed with arrangements to conduct an election for the nine districts which embrace Magna from 7200 West to 9200 West. They will shortly announce election dates.
