SALT LAXS CI1Y, UTAH. t Utah Law Officers Continue Search For Girl Murderer FIFTY YEARS TOGETHER Mr. and Mrs. Theo Phillips,, who have lived in the Uintah Basin since 1906, will be honored next Sunday, June 24, as they observe their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Unpermitted Fires flow Illegal In Utah Forests Utahs Chief Forestor Firewarden has proclaimed a closed season making ' all unpermitted' fires on Utah forests and wateT sheds illegal. J. Whitney Floyd noted in his proclamation that most of Utahs areas have received mountain subnormal amounts of winter precipitation and have been subjected to an unusally dry spring season and it will be necessary to practice extreme vigilance to prevent of our destruction widespread watersheds by wild fire. Utahs burning permit system allows the land owners and others to use fire for trash disposal and range land' improvement purposes while checking indiscriminate and careless use of fires. During the closed season as designated by the Chief Forestor, the law requires anyone desiring to set on fire any forest, range, gras or brush lands a written permit issued by a County or District Firewarden. It is the Firewardens responsibility to assure himself that adequate safeguards are provided to protect life and property. Securing a perimt does not relieve a burner of liability for a fire he may set but it does alert , all protection agencies of the presence of a fire saving many dollars in needless Smoke Chas. ing. District Firewarden Jess listed four important points to remember (1) Check with me to see if the type fire you expect to light requires a permit, (2) Request a written permit stating the place, time and reason for your fire, (3) Be extremely careful with any fire;, and (4) If weather conditions take an abrupt change after you have started the fire, do not hesitate to call immediately for help. Mr. Hullinger requested all citizens for their aid in preventing wild fire losses so that Utahs watersheds will be able to produce maximum quantities of use-ab- le Hul-ling- water.

Medical .asistance meant calling on Ma Woods and other neighbors for help or going to Ft. Duchesne for the Post doctor. Education for the children jneant riding horseback or driving a buggy to school for 3 miles through all kinds of weather. Earning a living meant clearing and working the soil and' the construction of many of the original irrigation ditches of the Dry Gulch Irrigation Co. Transportation was by horseback, buggy or wagon. Communication was by grapevine, your neighbor and letter. The kerosene lamp furnished the light if there was oil available. All in all pioneering in the Uintah Basin meant staying with it and making the best of everything.
