The First ward queen, April Allan, came second in the list of 14 young ward representa-tives and the Tenth ward, rep-resented by Diana Allred, was third.

July 1, . at 12:01 a.m., according to Regional Forester Floyd Iverson. The Utah State Department of Forestry and Fire Control will at the. same time close lands for which it is responsible. A recent emergency closure order from Mr. Iverson states that national forest lands along the Wasatch Front from the north end of Wellsville Moun-tain to Nephi, Utah, will be closed to smoking outside of buildings, motor vehicles and improved areas including oiled roads, campgrounds, picnic and resort facilities or similar pla-ces of habitation. The order also prohibits setting camp-fire- s, trash fires, or open fires of any kind without a permit except in established public camp and picnic areas. Range and forest condi-tions are rapidly becoming tinder dry as the hot weath-er and severe drought con-tinue over the State. Carelessness with fire of any kind can mean not only the loss of vegetation on al-ready critical watersheds, but loss of fishing, hunting and recreation in general for many years to come. Special care should be ex-ercised by everyone going afield during the open months ahead. It is a time to make sure the campfire is cold before leaving it unat-tended, use the car ash tray and practice every good habit where fire of any kind is being used. Don't be a firebug!!'. In taking the closure action, Mr. Iverson said that Utah seems to be plagued by, people. Children play-ing with matches have caused several fires. Carelessness with incinerators is another prob-lem. Officials of fire protection agencies throughout the state frankly admitted they are wor-ried about the fire danger in Utah this year and the possible destruction of life and proper-ty as well as damage to wa-tersheds with resulting flood disaster later on. They strongly advised par-ents to keep children out of the canyons during these cri-tical times unless they are ac-companied by adults, to avert possible tragedy. It was re-commended that the public as-sume more responsibility in preventing fires. Fireworks in the state's na-tional forest areas are forbid-den, and people responsible for fires are subject to arrest and heavy fines. 1 i i I i Jerry Smith, elected presi-dent of the Active 20-3- 0 club of Springville to serve six months.
