Hot, dry weather, along with strong winds, has started to take effect on some areas here and around the state, and ranchers and farmers again are starting to look skyward in hopes of badly needed rain. Up until May 12 we had received above average moisture content for Kanab and this area, with 10.37 inches total, made up of 3.61 inches in January, 1.68 in February, 3.82 in March, .63 in April and another .63 in May with not a drop since the May 12 date, when .04 inch was recorded. High temperature so far this year was 98 degrees, recorded on June 23 and again on June 28. 500,-00- Wednesdays Meeting Will Offer Tips On Nutrition 4 Deltona Specialist How shall give my children nourishing meals, when they rush in from play?

Tobin, well known hearing specialist and audiometrinst, announces that he will hold a clinic in Kanab on Saturday, July 12. The hearing clinic is part of the free program made available through the Beltone Hearing clinic of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is urged that everyone who has been having trouble with their hearing use the clinic while we are in Kanab," said Tobin. It is the object of the clinic to offer free hearing tests to all those requesting this service. Those needing medical services will be referred, to their doctors. Many, however, may be able to take advantage of the new hidden hearing eye glass aids. Full information with no obligation will be available concerning the newest scientific advances in hearing aids. The free clinic hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday at the Treasure Trail Motel, Kanab. 1957.

Seaton and Glen F. Simmons, commissioner of Indian Affairs. Allen Massie, longtime friend to Mr. Church and Fort Duchesne project manager, along with Sevier County School Superintendent Roy Adams, both spoke highly of Mr. Church and the work that he had done while in the Indian Service in northern Arizona and Utah. Mrs. Church also was honored at the banquet for her support and help while her husband was carrying on his work in the various agencies. Mr. Church, in speaking to the some 60 guests, .family members and officials at the banquet, gave special recognition to Dr. George R. Aiken and former County Sheriff George Swapp, for their support and help during the time that he was serving near here. He also offered high praise for the fine work that many officials are doing in the Indian Service. Ernest G.

Insurance Company Hams Change In Effect July First Cooperative Life of America, a member of the Farm Bureau insurance companies, is being reorganized as a mutual life insurance company, according to Frank G. Shelley, executive secretary, Utah State Farm Bureau, and secretary of the insurance firm. Effective July 1, the company will be known as Country Mutual Life. Present policy holders, Mr. Shelley stated, will not be affected by the change to a mutual company in any way whatsoever. Our primary purpose in the move is to broaden our service area and provide insurance to groups not previously served. Cooperative Life of America was formed 20 years ago by Francis W. Kirkham, manager, with a fund of $500. Company assets as of today stand at over $1,250,000, with unassigned surplus funds in excess of double the Release Weekly legal requirements.

On April 14, 1958, at the regular monthly meeting of the Kane County Commissioners, Cecil C. Pugh, chairman; Clark F. Swapp and Burton Banks, members; and D. M. Tietjen, Clerk without the services of County Attorney Willard as usual, but with Sheriff LeNard Johnson present the following matter was taken care of: Paragraph 6 of the. minutes of that day reads: The Kane County Sheriff met with the Commissioners on several matters, VIZ: Salaries for the County officers for the next term of office. After the Sheriff left, the salaries were set for the next term of office as follows: Commissioners $432.00 each; Assessor $2400 and mileage; Sheriff $2750 and mileage; Recorder $2400; Clerk $3240; Attorney $1044. Most of the offices were given raises with the Attorney remaining the same. . Can Kane County taxpayers offord to pay out $12,000 or $15,000 per year for two law enforcement officers and not have a County Attorney? Such is the case today in Kane County. Actually, this has been the case for many years in the county, but, with changing times, the need for a good County Attorney is here. Certainly, the Commission could use another officer to meet with them in their regular monthly meetings which is a requirement of the County Attorney. Hi might stop the use of county grading equipment and employee from working free gratis for private friends of the Commissioners. He might insist that D. M. Tietjen, Clerk, take care of his office properly and, for one matter, record the deed to county property owned by taxpayers th building and ground now being used as a nursery. A good Attorney could have saved taxpayers at least $5,000 during the next ten years in rental on this same property. It is now being used by a friend of one of the Commissioners for or $50 per month. A good County Attorney could have saved taxpayers at least $1,000 just this year by drawing up the County Zoning Ordinance, and could have made it effective. As it is, the Ordinance cannot be enforced and is of no value to the residents of this county. The Commissioners had to go out of the county to have a man do the work of the County Attorneys office in this matter. It cost more than $1,000. The Ordinance has never been published and will not stand up under the law. Several copies are kept in the Clerks office and have been ..changed to suit sev-- eral parties all in pencil and without proper order. Sheriff LeNard Johnson drew $6556.78 last year for Sheriff, caretaker, of the court house grounds and mileage. Deputy Sheriff Norman Cram drew $2016.23 for less than six months services. This year, their combined salaries will run near to the $15,000 figure! How can we expect them to do a job for this amount of money without a County Attorney? The Commissions only alternative is to have an outside Attorney come to Kanab to prosecute and take care of the office. This will cost taxpayers many times the salary as set up for his time and travel. Future developments will bring out why this office was set at this salary figure! Mack-elpran- g, City Asks Water Users To Be Kathleen Carpenter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Carpenter of Whittier, California, suffered a concussion and bruises and cuts on her head and shoulders Tuesday afternoon when she fell down a rocky slope near Kanab.

She was taken to Kane County hospital and was reported in satisfactory condition following treatment. half-pric- e 100-fo- ot Fredonia News and Current Events By Ivis Farr Making their home in Phoenix are newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Donald Raymond Mueller. Their wedding was solemnized June 21 by Bishop Woodrow Johnson at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Jackson of Fredonia. Attending the bride, the former Leila Faye Jackson, was her sister, Mrs. Gene Hassell, as matron of honor. The bride wore a ballerina length gown of embroidered sheer nylon with tiers of net ruffles on the full skirt. The bodice was filled in with net ruffles and the shoulder length illusion veil was caught to a pearl tiara of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of pink and white carnations. The matron of honor wore a pastel green afterd noon dress with a gladiolus corsage. Jack Chamberlain of Order-vill- e performed the duties of best man. A reception followed the ceremony with the bride's parents, the bridegrooms aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bok of Phoenix, and the- brides Mrs. Estella Jackson of Fredonia, receiving the guests. Miss Pauline Judd was in charge of the guest book, Misses Jaclyn Judd and Ethel Ann Brown were at the gift tables, l and the bride's sisters, Mrs. Judd and Mrs. Angus Swapp of Kanab, were in charge of refreshments. The wedding cake was a masterpiece topped with a miniature bride and bridegroom. The bride received her schooling in Fredonia schools, graduating in 1956. She also attended Utah State university at Logan and is a 1958 graduate of the beauty course at Phoenix Technical school. Mr. Mueller attended schools in Del Mar, Iowa and served three years in the U. S. army. He is a 1957 graduate in auto mechanics and diesel engines of Los Angeles Technical institute. Two Pay Phones Broken Info Sunday Two pay telephones in the Valley were robbed last Sunday night, according to Sheriff LeNard Johnson. One located at Mt.

There is no shortage of water coming into Kanab at the present time. In fact, nearly three times as much water is flowing into the reservoirs. The shortage in nost areas is due to the many new connections from already overcrowded small lines. Last Tuesday, the eight-inc- h main line from the pump house in Three Lakes Canyon was connected to the Cave Lakes source of spring water. As a result, an estimated 600 gallons per minute is at present flowing into the reservoirs. This amount, compared with the maximum amount of 235 gallons per minute of last year, indicates that there would be a surplus of water if it were distributed properly. This distribution will not be in effect in 1958 as Kanab City hasnt yet received the signal from the federal government for installation of either the new water system or the sewer. That people here could help out is indicated in the following figures: Twelve homes used between 50,000 and 100,000 gallons In June. One home used over 125.000 gallons.

Frost for Miss Dawna Gay Burch and Mr. Robert Walker White at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Burch in Fredonia. The bride wore a ballerina length pink taffeta princess styled gown, trimmed with white lace and pink velvet ribbons. Her finger tip length veil of pink illusion net was attached to a headpiece of white lace and pink ribbons. Her bouquet was of pink and white carnations with velvet streamers and bows. Miss Carol - White, the bridegrooms sister, was maid of honor. Her gown was princess styled blue taffeta and her shoulder corsage was of pink and white carnations. Misses Gail Blattman and Ruth Billingsley were gowned in pink taffeta and wore matching corsages in pink and white in their roles as bridesmaids. Misses Odessa and Jackie Lou Burch were flower girls, dressed in frilly summer dresses. Kenneth Burch attended Mr. White as best man. A lawn reception was held after the wedding, with the bridal party and the brides parents and Mr. Weaver White, father of the bridegroom, receiving the guests. The bride is a 1958 graduate of Fredonia High school, where she wa? active in girls club work Mr. White attended school at Williams, Arizona and now is with the U. S. navy at San Diego, California. They will make their home near the naval base in Callornla. . lons. We plead with these heavy water users to use less water and use it more wisely by watering early and lateand forget about watering during the middle of the day. Watering lawns in the sun and wind is extravagant and of little use. Lets all put into practice the good neighbor policy so that others are not entirely without water! KANAB CITY COUNCIL Conservation Officer Is New Title Under a new organizational plan adopted recently by the department, field men formerly known as wardens will assume the title of conservation officers. The change became effective July 1. The title change was adopted to belter describe the duties of these men who comprise the backbone of the state conservation program. The duties of the conservation officer of today can be little likened to those of the warden of yesteryear, department spokesmen noted. In the early days of fish and game management, a wardens work was almost entirely law enforcement. Todays conservation officer spends only a little less than of his time on enforcement, with the remainder taken up by range surveys and other management work. The department said this is only one of several changes called for in the new organizational' program designed to provide better management of the states fish and game resources. one-thir- d Youngsters Have Chance At Baseball The Pittsburgh Pirates, in conjunction with the Salt Lake City Bees, will hold a Tryout camp at Derks field in Salt Lake City July 19 and 20.
