In spite of the eleven fatalities in Utah over the July Fourth weekend (two accidents claimed over half of these lives), the Utah Highway Patrol feels extra effort on the part of the public and the troopers is paying dividends. The primary factors which lead to improper driving include driving too fast for conditions or exceeding the posted speed limits; failure to yield the right of way to other motorists; and "tailgating" or not allowing proper interval with the motorist ahead. The Patrol appreciates the motorists' concern for safety and reminds them to continue the "Lights on for Safety" hpaign. Remember and drive with CARE! Garbage notice There will be no garbage collections made Monday, July 24. All collections will be made one day late the remainder of the week following the 24th.

"Lets work together to keep our hills from becoming black and muddy," he said. The fire department has had a total of 22 grass, brush and debris fires in the past two and one-half months of the dry spell. Vacant lots and fields within the city limits have caused numerous calls. The number of grass fire responses is far above normal. One way of decreasing the problem is by controlled burning of the hazard areas, Sgt. Williams said. The County Health Department calls Springville's department daily to inform in-form them if burning can be allowed. Anyone interested in burning dry grass or brush should call the fire Imfe-Jry th A.I. Tippetts, spokesman for the Springville Senior Citizens, suggested the council consider allowing more space for the medical clinics offered by the Senior Citizens. Springville's Medical Clinic was the first in the county and first in the state, according to Mr. Tippetts, and to keep the facility up to par more space is needed. Brigham Young University, the Springville and Mapleton Senior Citizens and Springville City are the three parties involved with the clinics and the city took on the obligation of providing ample space for the service. The council agreed to take into consideration con-sideration the possible locations for expansion for the clinic. Denice J. Webber met with the council concerning the utility deposits imposed by Springville City to occupants oc-cupants of house trailors within the city.

A fireman will come out and. inspect the area and issue you the permit on request. "We would be more than happy to point out methods of safe, controlled burning of areas that may be dangerous to fences or structures," Sgt. Williams said. One of the suggestions the fireman might make would be to wet down areas around fences or buildings before starting to burn. When asked about the use of propane torches, Williams said, "They are good to use because they generally burn only small areas at a time, but the main benefit is the person using it stays where the fire is burning to watch it." i p up parents met with the council and insured in-sured the camp would be taken care of and the damage would be paid for.

Comings "I find people's attitudes towards laws and law enforcement in Springville to be very good," he said.

The troop was also credited with naming the district. Judge Collings has received many scouting awards.

"My interest in law enforcement spans over 30 years," the judge said, seven years as J.P. and as a member of the Springville auxiliary police five years as its captain. If Otto B.
