Last year there was only one. Quite a record of progress. Back in 1903 a rather ridiculous looking machine was just sputtering into being. Last year that machine evovling from the ungainly horseless carriage into the sleek and powerful modbrn automobile claimed 407 lives during the Fourth of July holiday. Thus the net gain in our efforts to avoid holiday seems to be about zero. Yet there is a lesson to be learned here. Fireworks deaths on the Fourth have been almost eliminated becuase thinking persons revolted at such senseless killing, and state by state the sale and use of dangerous fireworks were prohibited. No one, of course, is advocating that the sale or use of automobiles be banned. But we strongly urge the outlawing of their misuse. Most people want to use their cars safely. But in every society there is always a minority of reckless and irrespsonsible drivers who turn a deaf ear to all appeals for prudent and behavior. It is for the group that the National Safety Council and the International Association of Chiefs of Police have jointly recommended a rigid law enforcement policy by all police agencies during the Fourth of July celebration. We strongly support this recommendation. A traffic accie dent emergency faces this country, with a new high death toll inprospect. It is time to stop temporzing with this problem. The Fourth of July holiday is a good time to start getting tough. -- With the approaching July Fourth holiday, each individual who uses our National Forests should be reminded to be especially careful with fire. Forest officals have state that with the hot weather and dry winds, the fire danger is becoming more ' critical each day. Whether fishing, hunting, prospecting, camping, or just driving through, we should all keep in mind that one careless moment with fire can cause untold damage to our valuable watershed and forested lands which we all enjoy so much. If you plan to visit the forests this summer you should observe the following rules: 1. Be sure that your camp fire is "DEAD OUT before you leave it unattended. 2. Do not smoke while you travel. Pick out a safe spot and sit down to smoke. 3. Always carry a water bucket and shovel with you in , your car. 4. Report all unattended fires to the Forest Ranger, District Fire Warden, or Sheriff immediately. If possible put out the fire while it is small. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT By Bob Murdock OPEN LETTER TO CATTLE MEN The monthly meeting for the Directors of the Duchesne Cattle Association was held June 19 at 2:00 p.m. Ted Crawford, State Cattle Association Secretary, and Dr. Cuttler, State Veterinarian, in charge of State and Federal animal disese and control work, were present. Mr. Crawford was asked to discuss the 10 per head scale-of- f on all animals sold. Mr. Crawford' stated that the cattle sates have organized the National Beef Council and the proposal is now that 10(1 per head be collected at the point of sale. A motion was made that the directors of the association go on record as favoring legislation pertaining to 100 scale-of- f on each animal sold. Robert S. Murdock, secretary of the association, was instructed to write letters to our congressmen and representatives to this effect. Dr. Cuttler discussed briefly the bangs program. He stated that this program can work, but that we must all work -- together. Mr. Murdock mentioned that we had lost 85 head of animals in our county with brisket disease and that aid has been asked for from experiment Station and other research people. Mr. Crawford told the group that the cattle association is pushing for the National Research Foundation at Logan. He also discussed the bull grading program and stated that the next had State association meeting scheduled been at Logan at which time they will go over the entire experimental program and see just tyhere the money is being spent. It was suggested that the secretary write a letter to the Utah State Agricultural College (Dean Walker)) and state that as a County Association we want the bull grading program to be continued and improved wherever possible.'
