He regularly weeds flower beds, trims trees and waters the lawns. Sometimes during mid-summer, when temperatures drive the mailman to wear shorts and we start saying things like, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity", many people retreat to the shade of a city park or the cool breezes in the canyons. For the Springville Parks and Public Works Department those are the times then their labors are most appreciated and the newly planted flowers and freshly cut grass compliments a summer day. The city parks department, under the supervision of Richard Fox, employs 15 full time summer workers to maintain and refurbish the eight city parks and the two city cemetaries. Besides the parks, the department is responsible for tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and the internal and ex- Art shows sponsored by museum The Springville Museum of Art has recently received some $7,000 in funding fun-ding to coordinate a special "Museum Outreach Program" in Utah. . Museum Director Ross Johnson announced this, week that the new Outreach Program, to be run with the cooperation of other museums in the state, will begin operations this fall. Funded by the Utah State Division of Fine Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, the program will take art exhibits into outlying areas of the state where young people have less opportunities op-portunities to see original works of art Johnson said the travelling art work will come out of the collections of the State of Utah, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, the Springville Museum, and some others. "These works will be organized into meaningful exhibits which will illustrate various themes or styles in art. Special cases are being constructed to permit the works to be shown attractively at-tractively and safely in buildings that are not specially designed to display art, such as schools and city halls," Johnson said. The Outreach exhibits will be carried in a van specially outfitted for the transportation of art pieces, and an experienced art handler will install the shows in various locations and present lectures, films and slides to supplement the exhibits.

Springville water conservation pays The Springville Irrigation Company board of directors met last week to discuss the irrigation supply and commended city water users for their conservative use. The board stated that very few farmers far-mers in this district have used all of the three hours per share that they were alloted for April. Because of the rains last month, and the conservative efforts of farmers, the board has decided to extend garden water use till approximately ap-proximately the end of August. It was reported that the ten garden streams in plot A and B of Springville used 20 second-feet for eight of nine days. The board also stated that when their share of this year's Strawberry water storage is used up, possible in the later part of August, any water coming in Hobble Creek will need to go to the farmers who have not used their allotment. During the first part of the year the consideration was made to reduce the size of garden streams to equal out- water use. This, however was not always possible. Therefore anyone having a garden stream will have used more water per share than is alloted to the farmers. ternal upkeep of all public buildings. This calls for a constant watch over the custodial services for public buildings, such as the civic center and the art museum. Parks supervisor Fox said the department's latest project was the construction of the new Heritage Park located on the east side of Main Street, just south of the Sage Restaurant. He stated the park is now complete enough to be used for picnics but that it will also be expanded into a native shrub, arboretum. ar-boretum. Heritage Park will eventually be a land mark for most of the natural vegetation growing and will soon have a good representation of the types of landscape found throughout the west The arboretum came about as a result of the efforts of the BYU natural schrubs science laboratory who received permission from the U.S. Forest Service to create the historic area. All schrubs and plants in the arboretum will be labeled by "their native title and location. Not to be satisfied with just one new park, the city and its park department have plans for the development of a 350 acre all-season area in Springville Canyon. The development will include Kelly's Grove and 300 recently purchased pur-chased acres which will house fishing ponds, pavilions, ball parks and an archery range. The new canyon area is currently undergoing the phase one development, which call for clearing the area of vegetation and the general shaping of the park design. While the new park resort will not be complete in the near future, there will be continued improvement im-provement in the area. It is proposed that complete facilities in the canyon will be in operation within ten years. Parks Superintendent Fox also said there are plans to expand the Evergreen Cemetery. He stated that most of the burial plots in the cemetery have been purchased and that the area just east of the cemetery will be planted when water becomes available. Fox reported that much of the cemetery upkeep is handled by retired Springville residents who do a tremendous job at maintenance. He also said many other city departments assist in park and cemetery upkeep. Fox was pleased to report that vandalism in the parks and cemetaries has been kept to a minimum. Most damage at the cemetery has been in turning over head stones, while the city arks suffer some danage to the sprinkler heads and flowers. For the most part, the parks are enjoyed and ' used properly which, sayd Fox, is What the city parks department is all about lire prevention now becoming concern During the past few weeks, numerous man-caused fires have occured throughout the state. Some have threatened homes in residential areas. State Forester, Paul Sjoblom, is urging all citizens and vacationers to be careful when burning debris or using campfires. Mr. Sjoblom advises persons per-sons not to burn debris when wind speeds are in excess of 20 mph. He also advises that people building campfires have an area of vegitative free space extending 18 inches to 24 inches around the fire pit. This will reduce the possibility of embers from campfires spreading into surrounding'vegetation. In addition, recreationists are advised to cool the campfires with water or dirt before leaving their campsite.

First Cattle In America The first cattel brought to this country arrived with Columbus on his second voyage in 1493. The cattle were to be used as work animals in a colony, but were later lost when the colony was abandoned. In 1521 a bull and six heifers of the Andalusian breed, small dark animals from Santa Domingo, were brought to America. These cattle were the forerunners of the Texas Longhorns and the Mexican fighting bulls. mmmmmmf Richard Fox is the recently ap-1 pointed superintendent of the Springville City Parks and Public Works Department.
