Show !:.1-Ctijs- cd Aro S:bj:d Forest and Range Fires lo Intensive Investigation Clarence S. Thornock, Super visor of the Uinta National For fires est reports that to the woods and on the range are subject to intensive investigation by the Forest Service qnd State of Utah investigators. He fire is said each thoroughly investigated and persons responsible for the fire are sought out. When the persons responsible are found, they are contacted and presented with the man-caus- man-caus- ed ed facts. He explained that those who allow fires to start on forest and range land are liable for two types of legal proceedings as a result of their actions. These are civil and criminal actions. Civil actions involve suits to recover the costs of suppression of the fires and the cost of the damage done to property or the natural resources. Criminal actions involve court judgments for violations of the law. A person is liable in this case to fines or imprisonment, or both, in addition to civil action or judgment brought against them. ; Mr. Thornock reviewed the events of the last fire season to Illustrate his points. The Uinta National Forest had eight fires last year To date, nine persons had admitted the responsibility for starting three of the fires. They have been charged for the costs of suppressing the fires and rehabilitating the burned areas. One of the cases is settled, one is pending in the Supervisor's Office and the third one is pending in juvenile court. The remaining five fires are still under investigation by Forest Officers. Mr. Thornock says few people want to deliberately start fires; but, through negligence and ignorance of the forest and range fire laws, they have unwittingly become parties toman-causfires. In order to help forest and rangeland users recognize their responsibilities and liabilities, Mr. Thornock summarized the basic laws that pertain to this situation. There are both Federal and State laws. The Federal laws state that willful setting of fire to timber or range-lan- d is unlawful. They also state (hat leaving a fire unattended and unextinguished is unlawful. In addition, it is unlawful for a person to have in his possession, on, or to discharge from or across Federal land any tracer ammunition. Other statutes make It unlawful to throw any burning material in any place where it may start a tire or to discharge Shy kind of fireworks in areas closed by the Regional Forester. I The State laws are similar to Federal laws in that they also make it unlawful to leave a fire unattended, unextinguished or to replenish and leave unattended such a fire; to fire any tracer Or incendiary ammunition in the State of Utah except on military reservations; or to throw any flaming or flowing substance thich may cause a fire on highways or wildlands. The Supervisor continued by saying "It Is regrettable that anyone should be involved in a fire since every such fire is preventable." He said the laws - man-caus- ed ed man-caus- ed People, Spots In The News were enacted to help in the prevention effort to keep fires from getting started and that Forest Service officials are duty bound to impartially enforce all fire laws. He emphasized that during the course of investigations every effort is made to ensure that the rights of the individuals are protected and that Forest Service officials are trained and instructed to be impartial and unprejudiced in carrying out their investigations. Mr. Thornock concluded by saying he hoped everybody who goes into the woods next summer will be careful with fire, for the results of negligence or ignorance may not only be costly but could be very embarrassing. man-caus- EAR.

If any of the required information is missing, the application will be returned to the applicant thus causing a delay. Any questions about the new system should be directed to the Division Office at 328-58prior to submitting an application, Mr. Tuttle suggested. 81 Up-Pai- nt "The For Boat Owners PROCEDURE D.C. The National Clean Up Contest, which is the oldest and sored Registration pre-print- ed ' :: largest competition of its kind Computerized Utah's boat owners will find things a little easier from now on since they will no longer have to obtain a blank applica tion card and fill it out each time they renew their boat reg istration, according to TeddTut- tle, Boating Supervisor in the Division of Parks and Recrea tion. A computerized process has been developed utilizing data processing equipment and personnel at the State Capitol. Division personnel under the di rection of Andrew J. Anderson have been working feverishly for several weeks to complete the necessary information to feed into the computer. . Mr. Tuttle explained that the most recent owner of every boat registered in Utah since 1959 will receive by mail a 1968 application with an (invalidated registration card attached. Although both cards will be with all of the information sub mitted on his last application, it is extremely important, especially this first year with the new system that he check closely and correct any mistakes, fill in all blank spaces with the requested information, and sign the application card.

Vernon B. Romney, a Salt Lake City attorney and former Assistant Attorney General, recently announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the office of Utah Attorney General As the first candidate in either party to announce for the position, Mr. Romney said: 'My goal will be to restore the office of Attorney General to the realm in in which the Constitution intended it to operate." He accused the incumbent of using the position as a forum for advocating 'his own pet projects," and said the Attorney General has been much more interested in trying to overturn many of the State's laws than in trying to uphold and strengthen them. He also criticized what he described as 'unconscionable delays" in rendering important opinions to State agencies.
