The Provo airport dike has reached the point where, the airport air-port is safe from lake flooding, with a partial dike clear around the port and finishing operations getting underway along one stretch. Six draglines are working work-ing under direction of Morrison and Knudsen, awarded a contract of $132,000 from the army engineers en-gineers and the CAA for the job. Mayor Mark Anderson has said total cost of the dike, a tronger and more complete job than was first contemplated, will run well over $150,000. The work is being done by the government at no cost to, the city or state, with exception of about $20,000 spent by the city and state on a 50-50 basis to throw up an emergency dike and save the airport before the government gov-ernment came back into the picture. pic-ture. The army and CAA reentered re-entered the picture and agreed to build the dike when it was proven to them that the aifport would be ruined wtthout it.

Whitnev Flovd of Loean. state coordinator. A. R. Taylor, assist ant forest supervisor at trove-, and Sheriff Theron S. Hall have been named Utah county coord inator and assistant. The annual area of grazing, wa-' tershed, and timber lands burned j in Utah has been greatly reduced) each year since 1942, according toj Mr. Floyd. However, the number, of fires has remained approxi-. mately the same each year. Much credit for this goes to an awaken-! ed public interest in fire prevention. preven-tion. The people of Utah have shown their appreciation of cooperative co-operative fire prevention and con-trol con-trol by going out wholeheartedly! to reduce damage by fire to our, natural resources. Private companies com-panies and county and state departments de-partments who could help the program as they fulfill their regular regu-lar duties have given great assistance assist-ance to fire prevention and fire I control work. Such a successful program should be kept active, said Mr Floyd. Utah's land ownership pattern pat-tern is an intermingling of pri-j vate, city, county, and federal lands, all of which are valuable to us as private citizens. A successful suc-cessful ffre prevention and fire control program can only be car-' ried on through the excellent co operation of our citizens and our public departments. the airport proper was constructed, construct-ed, claiming it would never be necessary. A dozen pumps are now at work throwing the water into the lake from the giant ponds which had accumulated inside the dike and between the runways and taxi-strips of the airport. At no time were any of the runways proper flooded, bnt two taxi-strips at a slightly lower elevation were covered, one to a depth of better than a foot. The airport is now practically dry with exception of one relatively rela-tively small pond trapped in a triangular spot between runways and taxi-strips near the west portion. This may have to have a drain outlet dug to let the water into the area between the outside runways and the dike where it can be pumped out.

City Pays $280 For Fish Which 'Didn't Get Away' Provo city bought fish" dinner recently, a two-and-a- half ton dinner that cost $280, but nobody wanted it except a by-products company. com-pany. It happened this way: Ih the northwest part of town near the Dixon junior high school, Frank Madsen utilizes utiliz-es water from the Tanner race in a little runout or pond where he keeps carp from Utah lake until he is ready to ship them in connection with his fish export business. In the pond a week or so ago were two-and-a-half tons of large carp, blissfully unaware un-aware of their fate as they bathed lazily in the waters of the Tanner race. About this time the city irrigation department decided decid-ed to try a new moss and weed killer, designed to clean out irrigation ditches and kill the weeds. It killed the weeds all right, but it killed the carp even deader, a little possibility which no one foresaw until the fish were beset by rigor mortis. Result: Mr. Madsen was paid four cents apiece for his carp and the city sold them back to a by-products company for three-fourths of a cent net bill, $280.

Social Security Recommendations Sent to Congress The payment of benefits to insured in-sured workers during period of permanent total disability through the "expansion of the present federal government program of old-age and survivors insurance is one of the recommendations of the social security board in its eleventh and last annual report to congress, H. J. Christensen, manager of the Provo office of the Social Security administration, administra-tion, said today. In July of 1046 the board was abolished, its functions transferred transfer-red to the federal security agency, and its organization designated as the Social Security administra tion. The current report, required of the board under the social security. act, is for the fiscal year 1945-46. In making its recommendation for the inclusion of disability in surance, the board said that the wage loss suffered by permanently permanent-ly disabled workers and their families probably runs from $1,-500,000,000 $1,-500,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 a year. Another recommendation of the board calls for the extension of coverage under bid-age and survivors sur-vivors insurance to all gainfully employed workers. Persons not at present able to earn protection under the program include those employed in agriculture, domestic service, non-profit organizations and government service, and those who are self-employed. Mr. Christensen pointed out that this recommendation was based upon ten years of administrative admin-istrative experience, which had demonstrated the feasibility of extension of coverage to the groups now without the protection protec-tion of the program. In addition to protecting the groups now not covered, the ex tension of the program would re-jduce re-jduce the number of persons who : lose their rights to benefits by shifting in and out of covered employment, he added. A third major recommendation j calls for changes in the method by which old-age and survivors I insurance benefits are figured to increase the amount of the bene-j iits, particularly for low-paid workers. The general level of benefits should be raised, the report re-port states, largely because of increased in-creased living costs. Other recorrimendatlons of the board call for increasing from $3,000 to $3,600 a year the wages that may be credited to the account ac-count of any worker, thus expanding ex-panding the basis for determination determina-tion of benefits, and an increase in the amount of earnings a beneficiary may receive in covered cover-ed employment without having benefits suspended. The board also recommended reduction of the qualifying age for all women beneficiaries from 65 to 60 years. Step Up Girls-RAF Girls-RAF Sergeants Want Pen Pals Step right up, girls the man shortage is over. t From far off India has come a letter to Mayor Mark Anderson An-derson from two handsome, we presume, flight sergeants in the British Royal air force seeking "pen pals," and well venture to say they don't mean of the masculine gender. A little too preoccupied . with his current zoning troubles, horse barns, airport, air-port, Ninth South, etc., to take on the added worries of Cupid, the mayor turned the letter over to us. Flight Sergeant R. Rockey completed his tour of missions mis-sions over Burma in the war and Flight Sergeant Moore did the same over France and Burma. Their address is H. Q. Unit. No. 229 Group, R. A. F., India Command. Rockey's serial number is 1850525, and Moore's is 1852471. They're 21 and 22, respectively. Moore had the letters "P. M." following fol-lowing his name. Could mean either prime minister or post mortem. Go to it, ladies. Some of those flight sergeants make more than a general. State Government Costs Soaring SALT LAKE CITY.
