Editor UTAH HAD ITS FULL SHARE IN LOSS BY FIRE DURING 1955 Last year cost the American people 11,000 lives, $871 million in direct property loss, and untold other personal suffering and hardship and economic loss. Utah had its full share of those fires and of that loss and suffering. It is well each year that publie attention be centered on the needless loss of life and property from fire in the annual observance of Fire Prevention Week. This year the week will be observed from Sunday, October 9, to Saturday, October 15. Officials, organizations, individuals and all mediums of public information are asked to cooperate in bringing the fire safety message to the American people. This newspaper is glad to do its part by urging the public to consider the importance of fire prevention this week and every week, and to take those steps as officials, as owners of property, and as individuals which will reduce the toll of fire. Careful inspection of a home, a business, a farm or a school may reveal some of those conditions which often cause fires such things as faulty wiring, defective flues and chimneys, combustibles near furnaces or heaters. Emphasis on the proven danger of carelessness in burning trash or brush, of children playing with matches, of careless disposal of cigarettes and matches, will help avoid the many fires resulting from such causes. Of particular importance to rural' areas is the fact that last year farm fire losses increased from $139 million in 1953 to $157 million, with approximately 3000 lives lost. Better precaution around the farm, availability of simple fire extinguishg organization would ing equipment and a community have prevented or minimized many of these fires. The same basic safeguards would have prevented many of the 4000 fires in schools, the thousands of costly fires in business establishments, g and the many fires in homes which cause not only personal property losses but often the loss of loved ones. This is Fire Prevention Week. Lets all join hands to make it really effective through increased individual watchfulness to keep fires from starting, and community preparedness to stop those that do start with a minimum of loss. 1 vice-chairm- BMDGELAND Mrs. Shelby Lisonbee HOME FROM HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Funnon Barker brought their son, Funnon, Jr. home last week from the Price Hospital, where he. was treated for typhoid fever and pneumonia. heart-breakin- vEv More American girls are named Mary than anything 6,000,000 of them.

Dwight Sports In The Open Space Utahs major hunting seasons are now at hand. They include the migratory waterfowl season which opens October 15, the general deer hunt beginning October 22, and the pheasant shoot getting under- way November 11. Department of Fish and Game personnel arc again calling attention to the need for all hunters to practice and think safe gun handling. They note the law calling for the revocation for five years of all hunting license privileges for aey person who carelessly or negligently wounds or kills any human being while on a hunting trip. Director J. Perry Egan said, The seriousness of any gun accident comes as a shock and forms a tragic memory to everyone concerned. Since many such accidents are related to the seasons for hunting game, we are again urging all hunters to talk, think, and practice safe gun handling wherever they may be. The following ten commandments of gun safety as listed by arms and ammunition manufacturers are recommended for memory and practice by all who go afield. 1 Treat every 'gun with respect due a loaded gun. This is the cardinal rule of gun safety. 2 Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your automobile, camp, and home. 3 Always be sure that the bar rel and action are clear of ob' struction. 4 Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of die muzzle even if you stumble. 5 Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. 6 Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 7 Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload it first. 8 Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded gun. 9 Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. 10 Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol. d Deer hunters in Utah are to the October 22 op-- g of the general deer season.

Porky stealthily porcupine, working timber renegade, is on the upgrade in many Intermountain national forest areas.' Populations are increasing in spite of reduction programs. Supervisor Doll said today. To decrease the porcupines 'the Forest Service is asking hunters in certain areas this year to shoot them on sight A letter being issued to those who will hunt in areas where porcupines damage to trees is severe asks the sportsmen to help save the forest trees by cooperating in an intensive effort to destroy the porcupines they see while hunting big game. . The Forest Service recognizee that even though the quilled rodents are a natural part of a forest can do habitat, an serious damage to future timber supplies and destroy recreational and scenic values by stripping the bark from thousands of young trees. One of the rodents can ruin many young trees In a plantation, it was stated. Contrary to folklore, porcupines are not protected by game laws. They should not be spared as possible food for people lost in snow storms because they dont cooperate that way. When the snow gets deep they hide out in rocky dens. These tips are for hunters who will help in the campaign to reduce the porcupine population; Aim for the head its usually n the end fartherest from the tree trunk. Use the same safety you would when shooting your game. Porcupines are often seen at sundown in or near mountain roads, grassy meadows and stream-bank- s. r -- -- x, YEARS AGO 20 oOo- -- We at Tabiona are happy to announce the beginning of a tenth grade in our school.
