With it the children get a carefree happy feeling that knows no fear of danger. As always something happens to a certain percentage of the children each year. Many times there is little that the parents can do to safeguard their children against danger. Still the parents and the older children must be continually on guard in helping the young who do not realize the dangers involved. In the past week or so several accidents have occured which brings the danger of.it very keenly to our attention. Little Tony Fabela, 9, was playing when a dirt bank caved in and covered him with three feet of dirt. He was playing with companions who summoned his father, the doctor and the fire department. He was treated with artifical respiration and released from the Dragerton hospital. It was a closd call, however, for it is but a matter of minutes as to whether one lives or dies in suffocation cases. The creeks are getting higher by the day now. The very small youngsters in particular like to play around with water. It is a very difficult problem to keep them away from it. Yet a little slip here or there and the youngster is gone. Frankie Maio, 4, of Columbia, fell off a fence while playing with the other youngsters, a week ago, breaking his arm. Richard Vega had his thigh broken when hit by a car while rid, ing his bicycle several weeks ago. Two weeks ago a youngster fell out of a car that was driving down the mam highway in Dragerton. Many accidents are very, very difficult to avoid. It is necessary for all of us to be watchful and careful to do his part in lessening the chances of accidents. The drivers of automobiles should keep their speed to a minimum when traveling through the residential sections. Children will be riding bikes, chasing balls, darting in and out of cars, all unaware that danger may be lurking just ahead. Accidents to children pierce the heart when we see or hear of them. It should make us realize our responsibility in trying to eliminate them from our community.

The winners pushed across six runs in the first inning only to have Sunnydale take the lead with seven runs in their half. After the shakey start, the game settled down to a nip and tuck affair through the sixth when Sunnydale pushed across enough runs to tie the score at 10. Dragerton pulled away with one run in the seventh and two more in the eighth when their old stand-bJim Tobey, went into the box to protect the lead.

There was two feet of snow still on the slope which was considered excellent for this time of year. This ex- -' pert survey was far beyond what the local skiers had anticipated. It was felt that it was just a good spot for the local enthusiasts but not to compare with the famous slopes at either Sun Valley or Aspen. Mr. Theobald, . chairman of the Publicity and Industrial Development Commission has stated that the State of Utah will put up another $7,009 to complete the road to this area. It is necessary that the county match the fund and to assume the responsibility for the work. Various sources have stated that the county is willing to assume their share of the work.
