And, you cant say it was a scheme to get insurance money. Neither place had sufficient insurance to even cover the loss, let alone make an insurance prefit. It must have been just a co- incidence. The Huntington fire presented some new experiences to fire fighters. The building, being one of the larger ones in the county, took on the appearance of a big city fire, while the firefighters had to work with rural city equipment. This condition cannot be changed, however, since none of the smatt . rural communities can afford a huge hook and ladder truck, that could have very handily been used on the Huntington blaze. Without this big equipment, fire fighters had the experience of trying to shoot the water high into the air, across the burning roc and into the fire below, and at the same time smoke and steam entirely covered the target. We feel the firemen are to be congratulated on the job they were able to do on a large fire. A nice thing about always telling the truth, is that you dont have to be careful about what you say. Emery county hit the spotlight again this week. That is, a picture of a couple of county men appeared in a publication circulated outside of this area, at least. On the cover of the Utah Farmer this week was a large picture showing Montell Seely and Gerald Olson, county agent, looking over lambing eperations. Of course, since Mr. Olson has been gone for a couple of months attending school, as has Mr. Seely, we must assume that the picture was taken a year or so ago. This doesnt dampen the fact that the county is at least getting seme publicity. , Dan M. Wells . . . completes mission Dan M. Wells returns from LDS mission A welcome home testimonial for Elder Dan M. Wells, will be held Sunday evening, March 10, at 7 p.m. in the Cleveland ward. Elder Wells recently returned from the Western States mission. The first assignment he had in the mission field was in Rapid City S. D., laboring in this assignment for IO12 months. He was at that time made senior companion, and also a senior trainer. From Rapid City, Elder Wells was transferred to Glendive, Mont., and from there to Riverton, Wyo. Hia last assignment was in Billings, Mont., where he served as personal secretary to the mission prsident, Grant G. Wol-leand was also placed in charge tf the main office and the missionary work to be done by the missionaries who were working there. y, Weather Report Castle Dale Official Station Alvin Jensen. Observer A small boy was bored on a long auto trip. Suddenly, he turned to his father and said: I wish youd let mom drive As I listened to the proponents of House Bill 122, which will give authority to the states parks commission to issue revenue bonds with which to construct a scenic tramway, 31,000 feet (about six miles) to several towering peaks, I thought with sinking spirits how enthusiastic these people are about such things compared to the people at home.

The fire, the second in two nights, followed the fire in Ferron, which destroyed the Ferron Cafe, Tuesday evening. The blaze in Huntington was reported to the fire department at approximately 10:35 Wednesday evening. Reed Livingston, fire chief, stated that when he arrived on the scene the entire north section of the building was ablaze, and flames were fast enveloping the roof of the main building. Before pumping equipment could be brought into play, the fire had burned into the back upstairs apartment, forming a furnace bed almost impossible to reach with the water being cascaded from hoses on the ground. The high block walls protected the flames from the water, except through the burned out sections of the roof. In order to get the water into the fire area, it would have been ncessary to have a large elevator ladder fire truck to place the fire hoses above the walls. Chief Livingston pointed out also that the fire had developed into a roaring Inferno when the department arrived at the scene. Apparntly the blaze had gotten a good start before it was detected. The fire department at Cleveland was summoned to assist in bringing the flames under control. Both fire departments fought the fire until about 1 a.m. before they finally got the upper hand. Hot spots continued to break out until after 3 am., when the blaze was totally whipped. Two men were stationed at the building the rest of the night, however, to control small blazes that would break out in furniture and mattresses that were smouldering. Although no definite figure is available, it is apparent that loss in the fire could run more than $50,000. The greatest area of loss was in appliances and furniture, where nothing was saved. Although much of the merchandise in the grocery department was saved, there was still considerable loss here. Nothing was salvaged from the four apartments (two of which were rented at the time), nor from the furniture or appliance areas. It has been reported that only a small amount of insurance was in force on the building and its contents. The exact cause of the fire, or area in which it originated have not been discovered All reports indicate, however, that the flams first enveloped the north section of the building. Merchandise that was salvaged from the store, has been placed in the old Geary building in the center of town. Earls, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Fred All-rewho had been leasing the grocery department, have set up their store there, and are presently open for business. Mr. and Mrs. Earl were In Denver, Colo, at the time of the fire, where they were attending an automobile dealers convention. Rulon R. Garfield to chairman seal campaign Ogden educator Rulon R. Garfield haa been named to head Utahs annual Easter Seal Campaign for the second consecu- tive year. Abe Guss, president of the Utah Society far Crippled Children and Adults, said the organization was pleased and honored to have Mr. Garfield, whia conducted an outstanding campaign in 1962, return for the 1963 drive. Mr. Garfield, of principal Bonneville Elementary School in Ogden, will direct nearly 5,000 volunteer workers in the drive, which begins March 7 and continues through April 14. Funds from the drive go toward rehabilitating and providing special care for crippled youngsters and adults. Handicapped persons from throughout Utah are treated at the Easter Seal Rehabilitation Workshop in Salt Lake City. In again accepting the chairmanship of the campaign, Mr. Garfield said: If all those who might contribute to the 1963 Easter Seal Campaign could see their pennies and dollars helping a lame child ta walk straighter or a handicapped person find a meaningful place in the world, our task would be This bill went over without A tremendous turnout was reported last weekany dissenting votes.
