Utah people showed their characteristic thrift, and provided against a possible future rainy day by buying $1,584,909 of their governments bonds, Charles L. Smith, state chairman for the U. S. Savings Bonds Division of the Treasury, has announced. Of this figure, were of highly recommended Series E Bonds. J. G.

A cash donation has been made to the American Heart Association, to help research in finding a cure for the greatest of American killers. Salina Fire Chief Issues Warning To Trash Burners Farrell Nielson, chief of the Salina Fire , Department, has issued a warning to residents of the area, and asked for cooperation in preventing brush and rubbish fires that can, and do lead to disastrous consequences when they get out of control. Chief Nielson reported that Saturday, the department was called to the scene of two fires that were started and then left untended, spreading and threatening more serious damage. The one call was to Redmond, to halt a grass fire, and the other was a rubbish fire in the rear of Drews Drug, on the south side of Main Street. A high wind that developed, caused both fires to get out of control, and mount to threatening proportions. With spring here, and the time to clean yards and winters accumulation, fire and fire hazards are always on the upward trend, the fire chief stated. Numerous calls to the department are expected, but many could be prevented with just a little care by the worker. Take the precaution, the chief said, by seeing that no fire is left in the trash, and toy no means, leave any spark of fire when you quit the area for the night. Art Brandt In Hospital Howard and Morrett Brandt Salina, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack McMillan of Sigurd, were in Provo, Monday to visit with Arthur Brandt, who is being treated at the General Hospital, for gangrene in the foot. Mr. Brandt has suffered with the disease, caused by failure of blood circulation and general effects of hardening of the arteries, for several months, before entering the hospital for treatment. of Visitors the past week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Crane, were their son, J. D. Jr., his wife and daughter, of Logan, and Mr. and Mrs. George Christensen, parents of Mrs. Crane, of Salt Lake City. Mrs. Janies Nielson, who visit- ed the past three months at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Monger at North Bend, Oregon, has returned to her home in Salina. Mrs. Nielson was also getting acquainted with her new grandson, Dennis Gary Monger. NO. 30 Deer are beginning to arrive south .of Soldier Canyon, reports Orval Winkler, local forest ranger. Each year for a short time in the spring, part of the herd can be observed feeding on the openings along Soldier Canyon, and those along the roads to Scorup's meadow. Many people locally, and others from throughout the state, have enjoyed seeing these herds at this season of the year. Last year, to make it possible to obtain better counts on the herd, and for the purpose of giving all those interested an equal opportunity to observe the deer, the two roads into the area were kept closed throughout the day. In the evening, all of those wishing to see the deer, went together. This proved very satisfactory, because everyone had the same opportunity. In past years, if someone drove through the area a few minutes before the next visitor, the deer would be disturbed by the first, and those following would see very few of the animals. Again this year, the roads will be closed. Each evening, tlmy will be opened to the group wdshing to make the trip. Arrangements to go on the trip are to be made with Mr. Winkler. The party generally leaves Salina about 6 p.m and returns shortly after 8 p.m., says the ranger. on the flats , The United States Civil Service Commission announces that inasmuch as insufficient applications have been received fov the positions of substitute in Salma, the closing date for receipt of applications has been extended to April 4, 1949.

There May Be A Need To Go Slow For the past few years, the Commissioners have been fairly liberal with the peoples money. They have been that way because they thought the time to get needed improvements is in prosperous times. They set aside money to help improve the fairgrounds and auction facilities. The Road Department was improved, and new equipment purchased. They the Health Center. Last year, theTe was a small increase in the county levy. Would the Commissioners be justified in making an increase this year for an airport? It may be like buying a fur coat with money that should go for bread. There is a definite need for road improvements and new school buildings. First things should be first. Farmers and livestockmen have not 'had too good a year. Maybe a little retrenchment is in order.
