Huntington and Castle Dale were the victorious opponents, with Ferron bowing to the Duchesne team in the second game. The first game, played at Castie Dale ended in their favor with a score of Duchesne won the and second from Ferron again lost to Huntington Although the boys played pretty ragged ball and were badly beaten in two of their games, consoled they felt considerably over having defeated the title favorites in tne other. Making the trip were DeArmand Young, Lawrence Mayhew, Harvey Hatch and Bill Murdock, forwards; Scott Merritt, center; and Homer Fitzwater, Douglas Smith, Bob Kent, Carol Stott and Paul Young, guards.

The blaze was seen by people on the street and was caused by hot ashes to in a paper box. According Assistant Chief Selch and Captain Homer Liddell, office) s in charge, the fire was controlled in a short time with little loss. This was due to both the efforts of the firemen and to quick acting citizens who responded before the fire department arrived. "Such actions and violations ol the existing fire ordinance are inexcusable and it is terrible to think what could have happened had it occured at night and with one of the frequent winds we have said the officers In blowing", charge of the attack. "Attention is again called to the fact that fires should be put out before they start by being careful.The last three fires here have been the direct result of negligence. It looks as though citizens are demanding that they be prosecuted to enforce the laws to protect their lives and property," said the Chief, in commenting on this fire.

Loss To Endangered Property Set At Less Than Of I Per Cent In a report to the Mayor and the City Council of the Fire Departments activities for the year 1934, many interesting facts were brought out. In 1934, the department answered 13 fire alarms with a loss of only $45.00 for the year, as compared to 16 calls and losses of $6,414,75 for 1933. This has been due to training and education of both the firemen and citizens.

To date, the department has had little cooperation from either the citizens or the city officials. This slumbering Is hard for the firemen to understand and la hard for their general morale. Attend State Convention The fire department sent three representatives to Richfield for the State Firemens Convention this year. They have had two days instruction and schooling from the State Department of Education. So enthusiastic were the State Officers that they gave the local firemen one more day than their itinerary called for. The firemen are working all the time and are trying to figure out. ways and means to help save lives and property at all times. The department personnel numbers 11 active members with 3 men on leave. The department calls from practically all the vocations in the city. On it are professional men, students, business men, farmers, and employees of city and county offices as well as employees of various business houses In the city. "They a.) e as fine a representation of the towns leaders as it would be possible to obtain, stated Fire Chief Bishop, All are volunteers and serve without remuneration despite the fact that there is a provision made to pay them for certain calls. To Protect CCG The CCC Camp at Brldgeland has been offered protection and gladly accepted it and are making preparation for water in case of fire. In a test run, the truck made the call in 15 minutes from a standing start. A good run considering the age of the truck and bettei than two thousand lbs. which is carried. of equipment Tills would save a lot of property for the government in case of a major fire. The active personnel of the department to day is: Chief Dr. W. good-nature- d D. Bishop, Asst. Chief C. H. Selch, (also Mayor), Captain Homer Liddell, Engineers and drivers, Dean Powell, Floyd Baker, Ralph Halstead, Donald Bench, Franklin Davis. Hose and Ladder men, C. C. Mickelson, Glenn Goff and Doug las Smith. These men are all trained to act in any position but are specialists in their own line of work so as to be able to take command in cose of short handed attacks. Fewer hose and ladder men are needed since the engineers and drivers come up the line as soon as tho pump and hydrant are connected, tills being no small job that has to be done rapidly to give the men of at the fire a chance to attack.
