Show fHE SALT LAKE TIMES Mountain Fuel Supply Co. Urges Citizens to Ask for Identification A recent incident in which an unidentified person who claimed to be an employee of Mountain Fuel Supply Company entered a mobile home in Provo and obtained information about when the owner was not likely to be home prompted the natural gas utility to caution home owners and mobile home owners in particular to ask for identification from any person who represents himself to be a Mountain Fuel employee or agent. The man who posed as an employee of the utility told the mobile home owner that Mountain Fuel was preparing to ration gas to mobile home users and that he needed to enter the home to check on the appliances. He also asked when the home owner would not be home so that she would not be then charged for gas at that time. Mountain Fuel Supply has no plans to ration natural gas and no such survey is being conducted by the company, said C. F. Coleman, vice president, distribution, for Mountain Fuel. We can only assume that any individuals falsely representing as utility employees are doing so with fraudulent purposes in mind. Our employees carry proper identification and will be happy to produce when asked. Should any person have a question about the identity of a Mountain Fuel employee, or about the identify of someone representing himself to be our employee or agent, we suggest a call be made to our nearest office to obtain verification. We are anxious to provide whatever assistance we can to prevent fraudulent activity by unscrupulous persons posing as our representatives. Range Rehabilitation Projects Under Way Division of Wildlife Resources range rehabilitation projects in the area have a 100 percent success record, according to Don L. Christensen, lands development superinetndent. Mr. Christensen noted that an upcoming project in Browns Park will increase usable forage production on the 300 acres slated for rehabilitation work from 20 pounds per acre to a minimum of 500 pounds per acre in three years. Crews have completed a 300 acre project near Holden where they removed piny on and juniper growth and reseeded the area with forbs and other succulents. A 300 acre area southeast of Fillmore is the present site of rehabilitation work with sagebrush the arget for thinning. Touch up work is being carried out on several hundred acreas near Mona and 60 to 70 acres at Wallsburg to increase shrubs, forbs and other palatable plants which deer prefer. Additionally, a project near Levan, wkhich was begun last spring, will be finished. Seeding was not completed on the area because bad weather kept crews out until it became too late and moisture left the soil. Range rehabilitation projects increase the year round forage supply for wildlife and improve watersheds. Species of vegetation that are removed are those that are strong competitors of forbs and shrub plants, important forage for deer during the winter and spring period. forms call it "charity, but in reality to CARE and the people it helps overseas, it is developing self sufficiency, Miss Molly Director of Farmin, Regional reminded local residents. CARE, The 27 year old international development agency channels a tax deductible dollar to its program overseas that span range of human needs. While CARE will always be ready to answer disaster calls, its main thrust is and must be centered on development projects. The modern CARE package includes shared costs by the host governments, as well as volunteered labor and locally available materials. Education, food production, water systems, nutrition education, family planning, rural electrification, roads and low cost housing are all fields encompassed by partnership development agreements between CARE and host governments. Whether by Websters definition or as tax forms indicate, contributions enable CARE to extend the tax deductible aid: not as a handout, but as a helping hand to bring the needy the health, skills, facilities and know how to be self sufficient. As one volunteer recently stated, If you help one human being anywhere, you help mankind everywhere. The Regional CARE office is located at 420 Market Street, San Francisco Calif. 94111.
