This bid was low of three, with Read Mix company offering to do the job for 2,108.01 and Clegg and Harmon of Provo for $2,077.35. The city also approved the installation of a lighting sys-tem at the North Park on the rodeo grounds in preparation for a rodeo, the latter part of the month. The mayor formally installed Ashley Graham as chief of po-lice and Oliver Dalton as city justice of the peace. A new name for the park near the new Kolob Stake House was also selected. It will be Hobble Creek Park, the name submitted by Milton Har-rison. The city also decided at the council meeting to sign an agreement with the state road commission to syncronize the traffic lights on Main street so that motorists maintaining the proper speed could travel through the town without stopping. This regulation will do away with the actuated light on Main and Center St. The agreement meets with, recommendations of the city safety committee which ia studying other traffic signs about the city to determine where and why the various stop signs have been installed.

The Carnesecca Fruit Farm at Mapleton produced the cherry that brought the record price and it measur-ed one and one quarter in- -. ches in diameter. Dwain Nelson, a picker of Spanish Fork, found the giant fruit and Bill Jack-ma- n of Provo a buyer, pur-chased it and plans to have it frozen. Fruitmen said the cherry is indeed rare so far as size is concerned and would per-haps be the only one that size the tree would produce in its lifetime. Most of the cherry crop this year is large because of the intense thinning done by the frost at blossom time. I Volume Sixty-eig- bt THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1960 Price 10c Number 27 Jaycees name 4th winners, thank citizens Springville youngsters and many adults enjoyed the 4th of July in Springville thanks to the Jaycees who sponsored the various events through the cooperation of the city. The miniature parade attrac-ted a large crowd in the early evening and for this event a total of $50 was offered in prizes. The Fourth ward Pri-mary float received first place and a $25 check for a, portray-al of Betsy Ross making the first American flag. The Fifth ward Primary received a $15 check for second place and the Tenth ward $10 for third. Many other fine entries by organizations and individuals expresed patriotic and cooper-ative spirit of townspeople in the celebration. Following the parade, an open-ai- r program was held at the park with Attorney Boyd Bunnell of Price giving a pat-riotic address. At this time, the Jaycees with President Keith Waters in charge, pre-sented a plaque to J. F. Win-gat- e in appreciation of his fine services as city justice of the peace for 14 years. He res-ponded with a, short talk. An-other plaque was exhibited and was to be given the retiring chief of police, H. M. Weight on his return from a vacation.

Qty mssmil $pmys mv milh mk Following considerable debate for and against the sale of raw milk and requests by delegations for and against, the Springville city council at its meeting Tues-evenin- g approved the sale of raw milk in the city. The question of whether or not raw milk should be sold has plagued not only Spring-ville city officials but those in practically every other city in the county for several months. Some producers and consum-ers claimed that to curtail the sale of raw milk was curbing the rights of citizens, while on the other hand it was argued that disease. could be caused by raw milk and that consum-ers should not be permitted to jeopardize their own well-bein- g by drinking raw milk. Other citizens came up with the, idea that those who desir-ed to drink raw milk were se-curing it from the producer and the old prohibitive law could do little about it. City officials said Wednes-day that the present city or-dinance which states that raw milk cannot be sold in the city will have to be revoked and a new one passed. The pasing of the regulation for the sale of raw milk how-ever does not lessen the pre-caution which producers must take in handling of milk. Each producer who sells raw milk will have to maintain the stan-dards set up by the state on milk inspection, city officials said.

Firemen warn on grass fires The Springville and Maple-ton fire departments have been called out several times the past week to extinguish fires started in dead, dry grass, the most recent one on July 4th on South Main Street. While very little damage has resulted from such fires thus-fa- r, there has been a danger to adjoining property and the runs by the department are costly to the city City officials and members of the volunteer departments therefor ask citizens to take extra precaution and not set fires near dry weeds. Where patches of dry grass present a hazard, some arrangements should be made to burn the area with enough water and help nearby to keep it complet-ely under control. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Newman of Lawndale, Calif., visited re-cently in Springville with re-latives and friends. Ditch, canal covering project to be studied by commissioners The Utah County Commis-sioners recently appointed a committee of 5 members to study the problem of ditch and canal covering in Utah Coun-ty. The commissioners feel that this problem is becoming more and more severe with all the deaths due to drowning which have occurred recently not only in Utah County, but to Utah County residents in other parts of the state. This committee will make an intensive study of situations throughout the county relative to fencing or covering danger-ous canals and ditches as a public safety measure. They ..will then make recommenda-tions to the individual city safety committees, the county commissioners, the Utah Coun-ty Safety Committee, and lo-cal irrigation companies, and these recommendations will be studied for possible action. T. J. Varley of Orem has been selected as chairman of the Ditch and Canal Covering Committee. Mr. Varley is a construction engineer at Gen-eva Steel Company, and he has had extensive experience in the U. S. Army in the water safety program. Other committee members are Mrs. Dona Ash of Pleas-ant Grove, Henry Roberts of Goshen, Parley Neeley of Span- - ish Fork, and H. E. Nicholson of Provo. Mrs. Ash is Super-visor of Elementary Education in the Alpine School District and was chosen by the school district as an educational rep-resentative on water safety.

Mr. Varley, chairman of the committee can be reached by telephone at ACademy Local writer collaborates in new book on Pony Express Interesting reading is the bok, "Hoofbeats of Destiny," a story of the Pony Express, 'n which Frank D. Robertson f Mapleton is a contributor with two well written chapters. Robert West Howard is the editor and chief contributor w'th other chapters by the n writers Roy E. cy, head of the Pony Ex-Pre- ss Assn. and Agnes Wright Spring. . When the bankrupt freight-m- S firm of Russell, Majors jd Waddell hired teen-ag- e nellers, one of whom was the n Bill Cody to carry mail over 1900 miles of Indian "tested desert and mountains from Missouri to California, tney established rapid between east and west, and according to this tory, made it possible for the "n'on to hold California and Utegon, and win. the gold and "yer bonanzas of Nevada and Colorado. The book tells the story of "ls gamble, a fascinating chronicle of the hardships en-ured by the daredevil riders 0 Maze the name Pony Ex-Pre- ss across the American frontier. Chapters by Mr. Robertson e titled, "Through Paiute pel1;" and "Expressly about mes," and both add consid erable to the adventurous tale of the early day mail carriers. In the first, he describes the Indians and the attitude taken by Brigham Young and other settlers of Utah toward them. Considerable research was done by the writer to gain the in-formation part of which is quoted from Jay G. Kelley's autobiography 'Seventy Years on the Frontier.' His chapter on the ponies and the equipment used by the riders is most interesting. He tells how well-bre- d horses from the east could not endure the rough trails like the cay-use- s. Describing the equipment he says, unlike the locked-i- n saddles of today's rodeo rid-ers, the Express rider's saddle was a mere hull, consisting of a wooden tree covered with thin leather over which hung the four pocketed mochUa held together with leather rigging on which the rider sat. The best riders rode by balance. The ponies did not weigh over a thousand pounds, a de-cided advantage when plodding through deep hot sand or climbing the steep mountain passes and snowdrifts. Release of the book was June 17. It is easy reading, rather short and gives much fine information on the Pony Express. Services held here for infant Dixie Lee Walch, infant daughter of Richard Lee and Sue Rae Leroy Walch, former residents of Springville, now living" at Mi'dway, died five hours after birth Monday in the Utah Valley Hospital.
