Show OREM-GENEVA TIMES FIRECRACKERS BANNED IN PROVO Following several cases of malicious use of firecrackers, the Provo police department promised the severest prosecution prosecu-tion possible, and reminded citizens citi-zens that anyone using firecrackers fire-crackers at all within the city limits faces prosecution under a city ordinance. A youth was recently fined $23 and three others given suspended fines for that amount when they threw a firecracker from a car and burned the leg of a pedestrian; also on Friday evening a lighted firecracker was thrown into a car.

Distributors also must release their reserve lumber at the end of the month it Is received, re-ceived, rather than wait 60 days as previously required. Hitherto, lumber distributors could hold all their supplies for priority sales, making it difficult diffi-cult to get lumber even for small repair Jobs on the farm. Immediate effect of the changes should be to release for sale without priority all the lumber the yards received prior to June 1 except that which is obligated obligat-ed to those holding priorities. Huge lumber demands, including in-cluding requirements for veterans veter-ans housing, together with production difficulties, are listed list-ed as reasons for the lumber squeeze by John D. Small, administrator ad-ministrator of CPA. Total requirements re-quirements for 1946, he said, are figured at more than 36 billion board feet some 20 per cent more than the estimated supply.

Regional Direcor E. O. Larson Lar-son in an anniversary summary of plans for the future added up some 415 projects benefiting nearly 10,000,000 additional acres that the seven regions of the bureau have inventoried for the full and economical use of the rain and snow that falls in the 17 western states where the bureau functions. With a go-ahead sign from congress, these projects rqd within the next 10 to IL s produce thousands of tons If food, feed and fiber to help meet world-wide demands. In 44 years of its existence, the Bureau of Reclamation has: Created projects in the West involving an investment, on works built and under construction, construc-tion, of $952,893,000; Constructed 60 dams, including includ-ing the three biggest concrete dams in the world, Grand Coulee, Cou-lee, Shasta and Boulder Dams, all on the Pacific Coast; 13,495 miles of irrigation canals, or enough to cross the continent five times; 31 hydroelectric plants with an Installed capacity of 2,439,300 kw., part of which is being marketed over 2,164 miles of Bureau-built transmis sion lines; Put under irrigation an "empire" "em-pire" of more than 4,000,000 acres of land, an area larger man the state of Connecticut, yielding crops valued in 1944 at $411,226,000 (the average crop value on Bureau-irrigated lands In 1944 was $99.27 per acre); Constructed and is now operating oper-ating 5 projects serving 91,000 family-sized farms (nearly 5,-000,000 5,-000,000 people live in the areas served with irrigation and power pow-er with these systems); Constructed and is operating purely irrigation features costing cost-ing more than $312,000,000 of which, at the end of 1944. more than $71,000,000 had been,'. repaid re-paid by water users under Reclamation Law.

BISON HERD III UTAH INCREASING The mighty bison is striving to "come back" in Utah, having taken a liking to the region south of San Rafael Swell and northeast of the Henry Mountains. Moun-tains. A nucleus herd of 23 buffalo IS heifers and 8 bulls transplanted trans-planted by the Utah Fish and Game Commission from Yellowstone Yellow-stone Park to the Robbers Roost section of Wayne County in 1941 and 1942 has now increased increas-ed to 37, it is believed by David M. Gaufin, Project Leader, in a report to Director Ross Leonard. Here is the record of how the "colony" has fared since Dr.. H. B. Goetzman, Wildlife Representative on the Advisory Board of Grazing District No. 7, Price, urged the project. "At least three of the bulls aree known to have left the area and all have probably been killed. The remainder shifted around for more than a year before be-fore locating on the present range. "In 1943 or 1944. all or mast of the heard crossed over onto the south and east sloDes of Henry Mountains. Twenty-one head were oh- served on Burr Point now to be their year-long range. "Two bulls were observed on Antelope Flats grazing with cattle, cat-tle, and 14 head reDorted i-.iith on the Henry Mountain may be in addition to the 23 actually observed during the current survey. They were in snod eon- dition, the range was pood and no competition with livestock was observed. "An increase in the herd may be expected now that the buffalo buffa-lo have settled down to a definite defin-ite range unit." USDA has extended its dried whole egg purchase program to obtain an extra 12,000 pounds for household-sized packages equal to one dozen eggs for use under England's food rationing program. SCIENCE SCRATCHES POISON IVY OFF LIST Science has happy tidings this summer for American vacationists vacation-ists allergic to that "Dracula" of summer vegetation known as poison ivy. The good news comes in the form of a new ar-born ar-born chemical called 2,4-D (Dichlorophenoxyactetlc acid), now available to operators of vacation playgrounds and owners own-ers of summer homes and camps. When sprayed on poison ivy plants, this new running mate of the other new chemical wonder, won-der, DDT, will render the obnoxious ob-noxious weed totally harmless. The nasty stuff collapses soon aftei spraying, as the cheuiical penetrates to the very loots of the plant and actually strangles it tn death. Experiments con ducted by Sherwin-Williams scientists show that 1,600 square feet of weed-infest1 area can be covered wtth approximately $1.00 worth of the chemical 2-4-D, or Weed-No-More. Each year additional thousands thou-sands who have never contracted contrac-ted ivy poisoning before find themselves no longer immune; therefore cutting or pulling the plants and roots out by hand is a chance not worth risking. It has also been proved that ivy poisoning may be contracted merely by contact with smoke from fires in which the plants are being burned. Killing them by spraying not only is much simpler and more effect but eliminates any danger of a person's per-son's becoming sensitized. Once the ivy poisoning enters en-ters the blood stream the victim vic-tim is usually faced with six more years of summer misery before it "burns" itself out. Merely being near the plant growth, even without actual contact, often causes a recur- GLAUDIl! FUNERAL HOME AMBULANCE SERVICE 240 North Univ. Ate.
