Show Efforts Being Pushed to Complete Fencing This Week, Helpers deeded An all out drive is on to complete the big southeast Utah fencing project, stated Harold Jacobs in an announcement an-nouncement to Chamber of Commerce members Tues day. "We need at least 100 persons per-sons to turn out Saturday morning and if we're able to get this many we will be able to finish in that day," he added. Jacobs, the chairman chair-man of the Grand County Safety Council and the man responsible for the main leadership lead-ership in the fence project, stated also that women and older children would be welcome wel-come to do certain aspects of the work. He commended Mrs. Lin Ottinger and her four children for turning out two weeks ago unsolicited, and they helped considerably. considerab-ly. Jacobs also brought it to the attention of Chamber members that the idea of the fencing project was originally original-ly a Chamber of Commerce idea. It was necessary to form a Safety Council in order or-der to obtain State cooperation coopera-tion but the main support of the project came through the local Chamber. The invitation for local people to turn out for the project this weekend is a serious plea for help. Jacobs said that foul weather is about to come upon the area and this would certainly inhibit in-hibit the progress if enough people don't turn out for this final drive. Another serious consideration, considera-tion, Jacobs said, was that the fence in its present unfinished un-finished condition can become be-come a bottleneck for wandering wan-dering cows. They are able to get in through the unfenc-ed unfenc-ed openings and be trapped between the fence and the highway. This would cause quite a serious hazard and. this is why we're pleading for a big crew of help this weekend, he said. Jacobs has asked that people meet at the airport at 8 a.m. Saturday. Satur-day. It also might be necessary neces-sary to have a large crew Sunday morning as well if a large enough crew doesn't turn out Saturday. Persons not able to be at work on the fence Saturday should listen to Radio KURA for announcements announce-ments on progress, and turn out Sunday if there is still work to be done. Jacobs said that quite a few of the cattlemen would be on the fence this coming weekend to give professional assistance to the workers. The project is being widely publicized and it would be a credit to Grand county citizens citi-zens to get out in large num-3 bers this weekend and sfio that it can be completed, ofr ficers stated. . . : |
