Change Time Of Current Survey Of Population An important change in the timing tim-ing of the Current Population Survey, Sur-vey, carried out locally and in 229 other areas of the country each month by the Bureau of the Census, was announced today by Supervisor Milton E. Allred of the Bureau's district office at Salt Lake City. Up until this month the Current Population Survey was taken each week which included the 15th of the month with questions covering the week which included the 8th. Beginning in July, the Current Population Survey will cover employment em-ployment and unemployment during dur-ing the week containing the 12th of each month. Experts agree that statistics relating re-lating to the week of the 12th would be more typical for the month as a whole and would not be distorted by major holidays such as the Fourth of July and Labor Day. In addition, the change In timing is expected to minimize min-imize differences, insofar as these have been caused by different reference re-ference dates between employment estimates1 based on the Census enumeration of households in the Current Population Survey and those from other sources. The Current Population Survey will be conducted this month during dur-ing the week beginning July 18. Information from local residents will be collected by Mrs. M. Denise Palmer of Deseret, Utah.

Animal Bites Occur Often In Home Accidents Animal bites are one of the chief causes of home area accidents to children, Dr. J. S. Palmer, State Health Department Veterinarian warned. He emphasized that every animal ani-mal bite is a potentially lethal wound and should receive emergency emerg-ency treatment. The Department of Health is sponsoring a special program this month aimed at reducing re-ducing the number of dangers such as animal bites, which children may encounter in their play. , Dr. Plmer said that in addition to animal bites, the program is designed de-signed to warn parents about other seasonal play hazards, such as fireworks, abandoned refrigerators, cave-ins and buildings under con - struction. He urged increased parental par-ental vigilance during the summer vacation months to prevent the death and injury of children in such accidents. "With the ever possible existence exist-ence of rabies and with dogs the chief carriers of this- always fatal disease, parents should teach their children never to pet strange animals ani-mals and never to tease neighborhood neighbor-hood or family pets, no matter how familiar they are," he declared. de-clared. "Parents should encourage their children to report every dog bite, and the child should be taken to a physician immediately. It is very important to learn the identity of the dog so that he can be located and quarantined." Dr. Palmer pointed out that most rabies deaths are children, and that three out of four people taking tak-ing the Pasteur treatment for rabies are children.

Mrs. Cahoon was in the Delta post office Tuesday morning, and put her purse down on the wall desk while she adressed a letter. She. left and forgot the purse and went home. Late that afternoon she discovered discov-ered she had no purse, and came back to town to see if it had been found. When she inquired at the post office she was delighted to learn that her handbag was there, complete with change purse and papers. A woman had handed it in soon after Mrs. Cahoon's departure de-parture in the morning. She gave no name so Mrs. Cahoon is taking this means to tell her how much she appreciated recovering the purse. Slow Down And Live Is Plea For Your Sake "Many motorists in Utah do not appear to be heeding the plea to 'Slow Down and Live'", declared G. Ernest Bourne, Utah coordinator for the "Slow Down and Live" summer-long traffic safety program. pro-gram. He pointed out that with less than three weeks covered since the "Slow Down and Live" program pro-gram started, 20 persons have been killed on Utah roads. This is more than one-third of the entire number num-ber (S:)) killed last year in the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The recent Memorial Day weekend fatality figure for Utah showed more than a 100 increase over that of last year, with 7 deaths, compared to 3 in l'jjl's holiday total. 13 of these victims died in five multiple-death accidents. This lype of accident is rapidly becoming characteristic of Utah's 1955 traffic traf-fic record, and threatens another all-time high annual figure of traffic deaths for the state, despite de-spite a relatively low figure for latal accidents, as such, according to Mr. Bourne. The "Slow Down and Live" campaign cam-paign so far is faring somewhat better on the national level, latest available figures indicate. "This is far from the result we hoped to achieve for the Memorial Day weekend", said William M. Greene of Connecticut, Chairman of the National Conference of State Safety Safe-ty Coordinators,, but it is actually an encouraging prospect for the total 101 days of the 'Slow Down and Live' program. In the face of increased traffic volumes, 31 states either reduced traffic deaths or 'held the line'. With the national trend of traffic fatalities upward in March and April this year, we have accomplished a lot if we have stopped that trend." Charles Woodbury and daughters, daugh-ters, Velda Perkins and Zola Bunker, Bun-ker, drove to Richfield Tuesday to visit Mrs. Woodbury, there in a rest home. Mrs. Woodbury is quite improved in her recent illness. . i i I v V July 7, 1955 With LDS Pageant Elder Lynn Gardner Elder Lynn Gardner, who is now serving as a missionary in the Easter States Mission of the LDS Church, has been selected to appear ap-pear in the 14th annual performance perform-ance of America's foremost religious reli-gious pageant, "America's Witness lor Christ."

So he made sure his family were all safely out, and sent in the fire alarm.
