BE CAREFUL. FISHERMEN If any of you fishermen start out for a little line-wetting, and you run into Brose Dalton or Bill Pryor, (both of Beaver), it might be a good idea to run like something was after you. We spent last Friday and Saturday with them at Panguitch Lake, but never again! Brose is a devotee of Izaac Walton who really deserves the honor. He got us out on the lake before dawn Saturday, and kept us there until it was almost too dark to see the landing dock. And we traveled at least ten thousand miles up and down the lake, back and forth across it, all the while praying the motor would break down and we'd drift ashore, where we could find a jar of sunburn lotion and a hamburger. ham-burger. Vain hope! And all day long Brose and Bill kept pulling out beautiful 10 to 18 inchers, and all we managed to snare was one measely trout, about six inches long (if you pulled real hard when you measured it. But we caught a lot of fish. The only rub is, Bill Pryor was so jealous of our prowess that when no one was looking he'd toss 'em overboard. As long as he's lived in this country, he don't know a small-mouth bass from a sharp Iker o. some other such name that sounded more like a city in Russia than a fish. So, fishermen, keep away from Brose Dalton and Bill Pryor. One of the darned fools will keep you away from home until your wife divorces you for desertion, and the other one'll throw all your fish away. : To Whom It May Concern: Dear Friends: I would like to write an individual indi-vidual letter of thanks and appreciation ap-preciation to each and every one of the committee members and others who helped and cooperated cooperat-ed in any way to put on the race meet this year, but shortage of time makes this next to impossible. impos-sible. I would like to take this opportunity op-portunity to extend to all concerned con-cerned my thanks and appreciation apprecia-tion for your help and cooperation. coopera-tion. Words cannot express what it means to have friends who will back you up and go to bat for you in an endeavor of this kind. Without your help it would have been impossible to put over an event of this kind. I am sure I speak the voice of all committee members when I say "our only hope is that every one enjoyed the celebration." If you did, then I am sure every effort in this project has been well justified. Sincerely, VANCE FISHER. Three certificates, entitling holders to one pair of "Lee Riders" Rid-ers" riding pants, contributed by the H. D. Lee Company thru their local representative, Milton H. Pool, were overlooked during the giving of program awards at the race meet. These certificates certifi-cates were later mailed to the men who rode the broncs between be-tween races and helped with the horses, and may be redeemed at Pool's store in Milford.

Schon-ian, Schon-ian, manager of the association. A brief survey of the traffic situation in the state made for the association by C. T. Bailey, executive director of the Utah Safety Council, covering the first six months of 1647, showed a remarkable re-markable decrease in highway accident fatalities in the face of a heavy increase in highway travel, Mr. Schonian said, as compared with last year. According to Mr. Bailey's report, re-port, there were 76 highway fatalities fa-talities in Utah in 1947, up to and including June 30, as compared com-pared with 91 for the same period pe-riod in 1946, a decrease in 1947 of 13 per cent. Over the same period, an estimate esti-mate of motor vehicle miles traveled, trav-eled, based on state gasoline tax collections on motor vehicle fuel consumption, showed an increase ( of 12 per cent over 1946. "Balancing a 13 per cent de crease in highway fatalities against a 12 per cent increase ir accident exposure, we believe we can be justly proud of the part our safety campaign played in the saving of these lives," Mr. Schonian said. Also gratifying to the members mem-bers of his association, Mr. Schonian said, is the fact that in spite of a national toll exceeding exceed-ing predictions, and amounting to 275 traffic fatalities over the July Fourth week-end, there was only one traffic fatality in Utah over the week-end, and none at all on the Fourth. This week, one death has occurred as a result re-sult of a freak accident which happened the evening of the third. Significant, too, to members of the Press Association, is the fact that traffic fatalities in Salt Lake County, up to midnight mid-night July 7ih, had shown an increase of 6 over the same period in 1946, while in the less populated remainder of the state where their newspapers news-papers circulate most exten- ' I sively, there was a decrease of 18.
