At Bridgeland Myton, February 8 The regular meeting of the Parent-TeacheAssociation was held at Bridge-lan- d Friday evening with an excellent attendance, as about 200 people were present.

I wonder if the person who took this money would walk up to a little crippled child and take his few pennies. What he did in taking the coin box amounts to just that. There is not nearly enough money to adequately provide help for these children and each little amount must be made to go a long way. Believing this person did not realize the seriousness of his offense, I make this appeal: If this person will restore the money to the place from which it was taken, no questions will be asked. B. A. JACOBY, (Signed) Mayor of Duchesne. FACULTY PLAY AMUSES LARGE AUDIENCE Farmers and In Sportsmen: some sections of the county snow is becoming so deep that bird life is finding it impossible to find feed. If at any time you should find coveys of quaiil or other birds which may be suffering for feed, please get in touch with me, or one of the Game Association and we will immediately set up a feed' ing program as we cannot afford to let any ot our bird life be exterminated by starvation. I have plenty of poison for and magpies, and those wishing it can have it free of charge, at their own risk. Please bear in mind also that there will be no trapping of fur bearing animals this spring. No better time than right now to begin exterminating of the so called bullet hawk, as from now until spring during the heavy snow, game birds are more access-abl- e to these pests than at any other time.
