This is the second community reporting a 100 per cent enrollment. Several weeks ago; in fact, even before the annual Roll Call drive was started, Clear Creek went over the top with $100 as its constribution to the Red Cross. This $100 meant that every man on the payroll in that camp had joined the CaU. These two communities stand out as good examples for every other community in Carbon county and for the entire state. Each person's contribution does not amount to much but when it is added to all the others it makes a sizeable sum to which can say, every contributor That is our contribution to the Red Cross."

This warning came as a result of the traffic fatality this week which marred the excellent record of Price City for no traffic fatalities during the past eight years. Strict enforcement of the speed limits and laws regulating stop and caution signs is now under way and Sergeant J. L. Sullivan of the Highway patrol has announced that the state officers would hereafter include Price City within their patrol and arrest any violators of the traffic laws. The highway patrols cooperation was asked by Mayor J. Bracken Lee for sections of the city which do not come under tLe regularly patrolled state highway system. Chief of Police Erin Leonard announced that the new law governing turning right on a red light would be enforced. Hereafter, the police department will give tickets to any motorists who turn right on a red light. Heretofore, Chief Leonard pointed out, turning right on a red light was providing the car came to a complete stop before making the turn. However, the new state law, passed during the last legislative sion, requires that all cars stop on a red light regardless of which direction they wish to turn until the light changes to green. He also announced that the red light on First North and Third East streets would be changed to amber making a caution light facing on both streets rather than have the caution facing north and south and the red light facing east and west. However, he said the red light on the intersection where the fatality occurred last week would remain unchanged With the acceptance of the plea of cooperation from Mayor Lee, highway patrolmen will include the side streets of Price City in their patrol and all violators will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Chief Leonard also stated that double riding of bicycles will be prohibited and first offenders will be given warning tickets. Those persons ignoring this ruling after a warning titeket has been issued will have their vehicles confiscated. He asked that all parents warn their children that bicycles are vehicles and are quently liable to punishment for any traffic violation as much as if they were operating automobiles. ses-w- I ) conse-permitt- ; I ay ed (Continued on Page Seven) MUMS ALL MUST BEAR TAGS FOR REGULATION All Christmas trees placed on mar- -- THIS YEAR S Tentative Report Shows Increase In Receipts And Expenditures Of Many Departments The tentative budget for Price City for the next year, 1942, was completed and presented to the council for study this week by City Recorder William Grogan.

Tags to be placed on all trees will be distributed from a central office in each county or the local forest office. Each dealer requesting tags, must file an application and also give evidence where the trees were taken from to provide a check on the place of cutting. In Carbon county the tags may be secured at the office of the county clerk in the court house. After filing an application, tags will be available at a small cost, Mr. Dunn announces. The bill of lading will suffice for trees shipped to Utah from surrounding states. Persons cutting trees on public domain or private land must show that the trees were produced under terms of the state law. If trees are obtained from tlie Forest Service, each tree will be tagged by the government with a red tag and neednt be tagged again. The purpose of the law, Dean Dunn explains, is not to discourage the use of evergreens at Christmas time, but to prevent undue waste of the trees and curtail the illegal cutting and sale of trees. All vendors of Christmas trees must have a license under the law or ordinances of the county or city in which the trees are sold. This will require the passing of special ordinances in some communities, Mr. Dunn points out. A program similar to this was carried out by the Utah State Agricultural college extension service and the United States Forest service in 1939 and 1940 in Cache, Box Elder, Morgan, Salt Lake, Utah and Carbon counties. As a result of this program, the waste of Christmas trees declined from more than 30 per cent in 1939 to three per cent in 1940. Further information concerning the program may be obtained from the School of Forestry at the Utah State Agricultural college, Mr. Dunn con- clueSl Only two weeks remain until the formal opening of the Carbon Coun-t- y Catholic Carnival on December 11.
