It was not surprising that a few years later, there began the annual observance of a Fire Prevention day, since broadened to an entire week always observed in October so as to Include the an niversary of the start of the Chicago fire, which was on October 9. This year. Fire Prevention Week began Sunday, October 6, and continues through Saturday, October 12. The week was proclaimed by the president of the United States, by the governor of Utah and by many of the mayors of the state. There are many aspects of fire safety which deserve emphasis at such a time, but in the smaller cities and towns of Utah it seems the emphasis should be on work of the excellent volunteer fire departments on whom the smaller communities and rural areas depend so much for fire protection. We owe much to the work of the 82 volunteer fire departments in Utah, including our department here in Kanab, and to the 1250 men who give so unselfishly of their time to training and fire fighting. One thing we owe these volunteer fire fighters most of all is our own cooperation in preventing fires. We can help make their task easier and, at the same time, save ourselves from fires destructiveness, by cleaning away accumulations of rubbish, by guarding against defective chimneys and flues, by avoiding the careless use of matches and tobacco, by watching for defective or overloaded electrical equipment, and by limiting the use of combustible cleaning liquids. As we observe Fire Prevention Week this year, let us join in thanking our volunteer firemen for their services, and, at the same time, promise our full cooperation in avoiding the many unnecesary fires which take such a heavy toll of life and propertf.

P-- (Continued on page two) Elementary School Nows Counterfeiting is too slow. Our enrollment has been going up and down. We lost six children this week, they now being enrolled at Page, Arizona. We have 296 students listed on our rolls. Mrs. Watson's 4th and 5th grades have a fine saving project going. The class members have been saving money in their "Piggy Twig" bank and last Tuesday they had a fine time depositing $169.30 in the Kanab Branch bank. Most of the 31 class members deposited at least a dollar and some had saved as much as $25.00. The class enjoyed a fine talk on saving by Mr. Harmon Steed, manager of the Kanab Branch bank, and also saw a film called, "Fred Meets a Bank". Firemen Dr. Fulstow, Lester Cottam, and Fire Chief Norman Swapp visited our school Tuesday and talked to the "lower grades on correct procedure in reporting fires. They also witnessed a fire drill. All the students and teachers were safely out of the building in 60 seconds. We have a film or two each Thursday. Our last film was a puppet show caled "Stop and Go on a Bike". It taught us a lot about bicycle safety. Our new safety patrol has been working very well. One of the patrols enjoyed a treat at the Modern Cash Store and the other at Fentons Drug as a reward for their work in promoting safety. Mrs. Peterson's and Miss First graders spent an interesting afternoon at the Guy Chamberlain ranch. They saw a lot of interesting things on the farm. Beginning Monday, October 14, the 7:30 and 12:30 classes will alternate for the next six weeks of school pounds per acre. Thats from 21 to 35 seeds per square foot of ground I figure that at this rate we are wasting a little seed, and those of you who are talking sixteen pounds per acre are throwing away a lot of seed. Smooth Brome grass has from 40,000 to 55,000 seeds per pound. This means that there will be about one seed per square foot if a a pound of seed is spread evenly over an acre of ground. I figure about 10 to 12 pounds per acre on Smooth Brome. The. reason 1 don't recommend putting as many seeds per foot as I do for Crested Wheatgrass is that Brome is a grass and soon spreads. What I would like to encourage you .to do is not to spend money on seed that you dont need' but take the money and spend what you need for a good seedbed. It will pay off more in the end than planting several times as much seed as you need. and Events Tob-ler'- s Lets take over a union! to be. It is all right to add a little seed, because there are a lot of things that can happen between the time the seed is planted and the time the grass is established, but there is a point where the more seed you add, the less you can expect. A single pound of Crested Wheatgrass seed contains between 165,000 and 200,- 000 seeds. If we could spread a pound evenly over an acre we would have from three to five seeds per square foot of ground. When I add my own fuel cost adjustment, I recommend seven Rep. H. A.
