THIEF The world's meanest thief and without a doubt, biggest fourteen karat rat fink, has struck in Springville! We learned of his vile deed from the victim, a well known and much respected woman of this community, Mrs. Leona Curtis. She told us while chatting at a recently held open house in her honor, "Please tell the thief who stole Grandma Curtis' walking sprinkler to return it!" We're doing just that and we think the theft one of the most despicable acts this town has seen in a long time. So get that sprinkler back where it belongs Mr. Rat Fink, and don't ever even think about doing such an evil deed in this town again!

Springville police dispatcher . David Bird said he received 239 calls reporting Wednesday's fire; and Lloyd Bird, fire station attendant, received another 20 or 30 calls on the fire phone. The first report came at 5:04 from Mrs. Charles Pratt, 621 E. 400 S., Springville. According to Ranger Keith Zobell, the investigation into the Wednesday fire is continuing and action is pending. Springville Volunteer Fire Department, Utah County Fire Warden Floyd Lundell, 13 firefighters from Spanish Fork Ranger District of the Forest Service and various citizens answered the call. According to Merrill Sorensen, Spanish Fork Ranger District Fire Control officer, Wednesday's Wed-nesday's fire was apparently set by four young Springville scouters preparing their dinner. They built a fire to cook steak and potatoes but apparently didn't clear a wide enough area. By the time firemen arrived on the scene the fire had spread and was out of hand. The boys had left the scene and were on their way down the mountain. The steaks were still on the fire and lunches were found along the trail down the mountain. About an acre of land burned before the fire could be brought under control.

Mr. Terry and his son ran up the mountain and extinguished the blaze before the fire department reached the scene. Mr. Sorensen said that heavy rains helped to keep the fire from spreading. . ... Officer Sorensen expressed thanks to Springville firemen and to Sterling and Eldon Fackrell for their efforts in helping extinguish the fire. The Fackrell brothers rode horses to the head of the fire and dug out a three-foot swath thereby preventing further spreading of the fire. Officer Sorensen declared that "this is going to be a dry summer," sum-mer," and urged hikers and campers to be careful. He said it is extremely difficult to "block all fire breaks and keep them adequately patroled." Mr. Sorensen added there is far too much traffic on the breaks, that they are not roads even though bike riders and others use them as such. In Thursday's fire, Mr. Sorensen said, "We were lucky there was no wind." A 25-pound German brown trout caught in Fish Lake on the June 2 fishing opener has come close to the record brown caught in 1924. In fact, the trout may have surpassed the old record of 25 pounds 5'4 ounces caught by Wilford W. Smart at Logan Reservoir; but a scale to measure exact ounces was not on hand when the lunker was caught. The lucky fisherman who pulled in the brown was Boyd Lorenson of Richfield.

Are you thinking about starting college in the fall? Or transferring from one college to another? If you are, do it now. There isn't much time left. Some 6,995 openings still remain in Utah colleges and universities for late-deciding freshmen and 11th hour transfer students, according to a May survey conducted by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). According to the WICHE study, application deadlines for the fall semester range from September 1 to September 26 at nine Utah higher education institutions. College officials point out, however, that vacancies are open only to students who meet the individual college's requirements. And if a student has already applied to a college or university and has been turned down, he should not reapply at that college. An exception to the more formal admissions requirements would be the increasingly popular open door admissions policy. Last year, 19 western colleges reported open admissions ad-missions policies. This year the number quadrupled. Eighty-one institutions said they have either no limit or open door admissions for the fall. In other words, these schools have space for a great many students. The WICHE study, which canvassed 447 undergraduate institutions throughout the 13 western states, reports that approximately 130,000 vacancies are still available for entering freshmen and transfer students. A total of 256 western institutions responded to the survey, with 206 reporting vacancies for come-lately come-lately applicants. The two-year colleges in Utah with openings for commuting and dormitory freshmen and transfer students are: Dixie College, St. George, Sept 26 deadline; Snow College, Ephraim, Sept. 26; and Steven Henager College (no dorms for transfer students), Salt Lake City, Sept. 15. Utah Technical College, Provo, has openings for commuting freshmen only, Sept. 21 deadline. The following four-year universities have openings for commuting and dormitory freshmen and transfer students: Southern Utah State College, Cedar City, deadline Sept. 1; Utah State University, Logan, Sept. 1; Weber State College, Ogden, Sept. 1 ; and Westminster College, Salt Lake City, Sept. 14. Vacancies for commuting transfer students are at Brigham Young University, Provo, July 15 deadline. Details on vacancies in colleges and universities throughout the 13 western states are available from: College Vacancy Survey, WICHE, P. O. Drawer P, Boulder, Colorado 80302. WICHE is a public agency which helps the 13 western states work together to increase educational opportunities for western youth, to improve programs of universities and colleges, to expand the supply of specialized manpower, and to inform the public of higher education needs.

The hearing will be Survey report cites need in education A statewide study, conducted by the Utah State Board of Education, has pointed out the need for change and innovation in the area of Utah's vocational education programs. The Vocational Education Needs Assessment was initiated by the 1972 Utah State Legislature and the Utah State Board for Vocational Education and identifies 15 major needs in the vocational education area. 1 Some 4,000 Utah parents, students, teachers, administrators, ad-ministrators, and other school personnel were asked to express their concerns about vocational education and career preparation in Utah's public schools. According to Walter E. Ulrich, Administrator of the State Board of Education's Division of Voca tiona 1-Technical Education, the survey represents a change in people's attitudes towards vocational and career education. "It used to be," says Ulrich "that most parents and students were interested in-terested only in a four year college Jegree. Now people are starting to realize the value of skill training for a variety of rewarding jobs which do not require a college degree." Ulrich also points out that "according to job market statistics, less than 20 percent of future job openings will require a college degree; at presents, however, approximately 45 percent of Utah's high school graduates are entering a college degree program." Among the 15 areas of need listed in the assessment are: more help with career decisions, greater variety of class offerings in the vocational area, the development of a better image for vocational-technical education, and the need for more communication between business and industry and the educational system. The need for more help with career decisions , for instance, is emphasized in the report by the fact that 40 percent of the high school students interviewed said that "teachers rarely or never discuss occupational opportunities op-portunities while teaching in the classroom." The survey also pointed our that only about one in four high school students has made a career decision by the time he graduates. Anglers' reaction reported varied Albino rainbow trout are being met with "enthusiastic apathy and friendly indifference," says Ron Goede, fish pathologist and nutritionist for the Divisvon of Wildlife Resources Logan Experimental Ex-perimental Station. Goede, the Division's major proponent of the albino, brought it to Utah in 1967 for experimental ex-perimental reasons. He initially obtained the fish from Ennis National Fish Hatchery in Montana. The albinos are ideal for investigations of clinical pathology becuase they have reduced genetic variability and have no pigments masking any tissue alterations that may occur. Actually, the albino rainbow are not uncommon. These mutants with double recessive genes are found on about the same ration as albinos are found among human beings. The difference is that the hatchery is dealing with several million eggs, which allows them to turn up at a faster rate than they do among man. held July 16th in the council chambers. The matter of the hearing headed items discussed by the city officials at their regular session Monday night. The sale of the property is contemplated Over half of the high school students with vocational interests in-terests reported a dissatisfaction dissatisfac-tion with the number and variety of vocational education classes offered at their high school. Twenty-seven percent of the school counselors and 20 percent of the teachers agreed with the students. According to the survey, the image of vocational-technical education has suffered from on over emphasis on academic pursuits and professional training. Right now, for example, 40 percent of Utah's parents regard an academic occupation as a more desirable life pursuit than vocational-technical vocational-technical occupations.
