William Stewart, her father, was the first shoemaker in the settlement. Many of the things used by the pioneers were shown. The different kinds of lights, butter bowl, paddle and mold, different plants and herbs used as remedies, a patchwork quilt and other artifacts made and used by the pioneers.

Ramona Porter and Linda Major, of the music department, were outstanding in their handling of these programs, adding fitting music to each one. A PRIMARY Pioneer party on July 12 was the closing program. It featured outdoor games, pony and cart rides, jump the rope and races; singing, dancing, a taffy pull, fishing booth, beauty parlor, barber shop and many other things their pioneer ancestors enjoyed.

His SAFESDTE STORAGE SYSTEMS PHONE 376-001- 1 Wildlife Resources Pays Out Rewards With slightly less than two months left in the fiscal year, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has paid over $5,000 in rewards to concerned sportsmen who have provided information relating to wildlife violations, according to John Nagel, chief of Law Fnformcement. REWARDS have been paid to individuals who have taken the time and effort to provide information to Division law enforcement officers which has led to convictions in various wildlife cases. Most of the situations involved big game animals taken illegally during hunting seasons or killed out of season Nine such claims have been awarded this year; several are still pending. These will be processed in the next few weeks. THE REWARD program is a policy of the Wildlife Board and has been in effect since the late 1950s. In January 1975 payments under the program were increased substantially. Rewards are budgeted as part of the Divisions enforcement operating funds and are awarded to individuals who provide information to Lhvision officers or other law enforcement personnel about serious wildlife violations. Up to $1,000 per incident can be authorized by the Board for citizen involvement in these cases. The maximum reward applies to cases involving moose, buffalo, bighorn, mountain goat, antelope and elk. Information regarding the illegal taking of deer and other species yields a lesser amount. NAGEL said, We feel this expenditure is a valid use of the Divisions money. Fach time we apprehend a wildlife violator who is involved in taking big game illegally, we are protecting a resource that belongs to all the people of Utah, we discourage others who might disobey the law and we close in on those who repeatedly harvest game outside the legal perimeters. In most cases, it is not necessary to make a court appearance to be eligible for the reward, and the individuals providing data on violations are assured full anonymity by the Division. Fishing Gadgets galore have been invented for use by fishermen. A llANDY one is the Swiss pocketkmfe, a tool of many uses One provides large and small pen blades, scissors, screwdriver, bottle opener, can opener, disgorger, scaler, Phillips screwdriver, reamer, tweezers and even a tooth pick. There is a right way and a wrong way to use a landing net. The right way is to hold the net in the water and lead the fish into it. The wrong way is to try' to scoop the fish out of the water with the net.

And besides, many a fish has taken a fly or In America the hunting is understandably strong. In pioneer days many husbands hunted to put food on the table. Some still debut not as many.

The line is attached to one eye of the snap swivel, a three-wa- y swivel, sinker is suspended on a length of leader from another eye, and a baited hook is suspended on a short leader on the third eye The sinker touches bottom, in still fishing or trolling, and the bait is suspended just above the bottom. The snap swivel is used with a lure that could twist the line. THE SNAP can be used on a lure where no line twist is likely The swivel can be at- tached between the line and leader to prevent twist when a very light lure or bait is used.

Yorkers learned BARN OIALS are typically found in association with dairy farmland and near marshy areas where they find good supplies of small rodents, upon which they primarily feed. Studies of pellets found near nesting areas have shown that approximately percent of the barn owls diet consists of Microtus or meadow mice. The nighttime predator is thus beneficial to Utah farmers because these rodents are grazers which conflict with domestic livestock. They also consume starlings, English sparrows, shrews, pocket gophers, deer and harvest mice, and some rats. An average barn owl may eat three or four mice each night. every $3 the city spends on salary, it must spend another $2 on fringe benefits.

MOVING: PART By EZRA T. CLARK President Davis County Bank Last week we discussed renting a truck or trailer for moving. Let's continue with some tips about packing and getting underway.

Seattle Slew may not be merely the greatest since light-colore- heart-shape- during their recent fiscal crises, such bargaining is costing them heavily; for Hunting In 1977 tradition THE BARN owl is a large d owl, recognizable by its face, small dark eyes and long legs. All other owls, except the snowy owl, are heavily marked on the chest and belly areas as well as on the underside of their wings. The barn owl has a lightly broken barred coloration on the underside of its wings and a lightly spotted chest and belly, appearing almost white when in flight. In the fall of 1976, Nongame biologists received reports of large white owls in the farm areas west of Kaysville, Utah. The follow-uand resultant study has revealed barn owls present west of the Wasatch Front, from somewhere south of Provo all the way to the Idaho border. and, therefore, the taxes tizens must pay. Alaska Governor Jay Hammond says simply, "This is taxation without representation. The highly touted solution of collective bargaining to end strikes government-employ- e has not worked. In fact, the AS NEW OSati working properly. Loading is an art in itself. For a truck or a trailer, make sure the heaviest items go in first. Arrange them up front, on the floor. Take the drawers out of a dresser to get it aboard; then replace drawers loaded with smaller household items. Use blankets or rugs to separate and keep each piece of furniture protected. Pack the remaining items evenly from side to side and front to rear, leaving the lightest for last. These should be near the roof and at the rear of the truck or trailer. Use straps to keep the load from shifting. Do not overload stated load iimits of the vehicle. hold-dow- n II Weight distribution is especially im- portant with a trailer. Ideally, 60 of the load should be in the front half. Thats to facilitate safe, easy handling of the vehicle. With the furnishings on board, get behind the wheel and give one last look at the mirrors, the seat adjustment and seat belts. Everything should be checked out before you get underway, just like the procedure that every airplane pilot goes through before takeoff. Remember that youre driving a much greater weight and many more feet than you ordinarily do. Trucks and trailers require more stopping room, so allow plenty of distance between yourself and the vehicle ahead. When taking a truck up a hill, shift down. Shift down, also, once you reach the crest of the hill. The engine will slow the truck so you wont have to use excessive braking. Do the same when hauling a trailer. When you are turning, remember that a trailer's wheels will come inside the cars turning radius. So take turns wider to give the trailer more room to follow. Slow down before you put your brakes on while you are turning. Its it may take all the savings no fun-a- nd out of moving-- if you flip over and land in a ditch. Keep alert not only to whats on the road ahead of you but also whats above you. Bridges, trees and gas station canopies are just some of the hazards to a high truck or even a trailer. Truck and trailer driving requires skill. You only acquire it with experience, so give yourself time to learn. Proceed with common sense and caution. Above all, drive safely. The best part of moving is arriving at your destination free of mishaps. |
