Show Jeep posse does great rescue work in county If you don't believe the Utah County Sheriff's Jeep Posse is not an active, dedicated group, ask Jim Sorrells for his feeling feel-ing of gratitude toward the non-paid public workers. Jim's high praise of the county men who work for the sheriff when emergencies arise, was kindled with kindness offered of-fered him in his hunting predicament pre-dicament when he got his jeep stranded while hunting near the Camel's back. He stated he burned his engine out and because be-cause of the heavy snow fall last Saturday, he was forced to leave the jeep. He was hunting hunt-ing with Ray Moss of Salt Lake City and Harry Hennessey Hennes-sey of Calif. He reported the incident to Sheriff Ralph Chapel who referred re-ferred him to Vic Durham of the Jeep Posse. Don Young, LaVar Tippetts, and Norman Smith, members of the posse, assisted in rescuing the jeep. Mr. Sorrells points out that the posse does not accept any monetary remuneration and that their willingness to assist in this situation was particularly partic-ularly appreciated in view of the fact that some of the men had already been on call for a long number of hours without with-out much rest. The posse, he pointed out, was on the spot at the scene of the airplane crash on Mt. Timp a few weeks ago and assists some unfortunate unfortun-ate person or persons almost weekly. Donations to the Sheriff Sher-iff for the posse have assisted in building up their equipped jeeps and first aid and emergency emer-gency supplies. |
