Show PROFESSOR URGES SAFE AND SANE FOURTH Professor J. Whitney Floyd of Logan, chief forester-fire warden for Utah, urges all residents res-idents of Utah to confine their Fourth of July celebrating to activities other than the dangerous dan-gerous pastime of shooting off fireworks. Professor Floyd cites both state law and city ordinances that prohibit sale and use of fireworks within Utah. In the past many personal injuries, destruction of buildings build-ings and other property, and fires in our canyon areas and on our watersheds have resulted result-ed from the use of fireworks, Mr. Floyd said. This year let's cooperate to let Utah be one state that will come thru the "Fourth" with an un-black-ened, un-burned celebration. |
