In order to coordinate efforts with the Chamber of Commerce, the DIAL-A-TIP given to PD by Kiwanis Club The new DIAL-A-TIP machine recently presented to the Springville Police Department by the Springville Kiwanis Club is now in operation. Police Chief Leland Bowers urges any citizen wishing to remain anonymous to use the machine to tip police to possible criminal action. Chief Bowers said he is very impressed im-pressed with the gift and expressed great optimism regarding its probable impact on crime in Springville. The purpose of DIAL-A-TIP is to provide a means of communication to those persons having knowledge of crimes, but who do not wish to get involved. in-volved. By dialing the DIAL-A-TIP number, 489-9762, the caller will reach a recording machine and the information is placed on a tape. The tape will then be reviewed on a daily basis by a detective.:. -"" It is widely known that many crimes are witnessed, but the witnesses are reluctant to tell anyone what they have seen. The reasons for not becoming involved are almost endless; the possibility of having to go to court, too much of a bother, fear of retaliation etc. DIAL-A-TIP, hopefully, will make it easy and pleasant to report crime information. in-formation. The caller needs only to dial the number, then repeat the facts into the phone. The caller's name is not wanted or needed and no questions are asked. This system has proven to be a valuable crime-solving tool in other cities and hopefully will be as successful suc-cessful in Springville. The equipment for DIAL-A-TIP was purchased by the Springville Kiwanis Club and the entire program is being sponsored by them. Through the years, our Kiwanis Club has a proven track record in crime prevention and involvement in public safety. Many dollars and man hours have been expended by them to make Springville a better and safer place to live and work. Chief Bowers is very pleased with the enthusuasm displayed by the Kiwanis club toward community involvement and wishes to publicly commend them for their efforts. Fire department kept on the go Springville Volunteer Fire Department Depart-ment averaged calls to at least one fire a day over the past week, according to department reports. On March 8 firemen were called to aid in a near-electrocution at the fish hatchery. A fire department spokesman reported that Paul Monteer suffered burns when he came in contact with electrical wires and has a 50-50 chance of losing some of his fingers and thumbs. On March 9, the department was called to a house fire at 8: 27 p.m. at 1025 E. 140 N., at the home of Jack Daley. An electrical short in a television set caused smoke damage estimated at $500 to the house and contents. At 10:22 p.m. the same day, firemen were called to the city dump site where a huge pile of dried Christmas trees was burning. They "baby sat" that fire until 2 a.m. On March 10 at 9:08 a.m., fire was reported at LaSalle Industries, 370 W. 700 S. An overheated air compressor burned a 440 volt three-phase motor reportedly valued at an estimated $500, reports said. Two grass fires kept firemen busy on March 11. Both were believed started by juveniles. One was at 9:30 a.m. on 400 South 1-15 freeway access near the second set of railroad tracks. The other occurred at 11 :26 a.m. at 1355 S. 545 E. Juveniles who apparently tet this fire have been apprehended. dOGMDp Biii)p(IOp tf National Guard, and others, the decision was made to go ahead now with the campaign. Other factors affecting this decision are excessive road damages caused by frost through the severe cold winter. Road repair, which must be made by city crews and equipment, will get underway as soon as the asphalt plants begin operating, said Carl Curtis, Streets and Roads Superintendent.

This cleaning campaign is underway at the present time with a projected time schedule to be mostly completed by the time the spring cleanup work load starts. The city is asking all who can to haul in crime prevention. The Kiwanis Club purchased the equipment and presented it to the police department.

About 11, Diane suddenly awoke, although she says she doesn't know why. She didn't smell smoke. She didn't feel heat. She didn't hear any noise. Yet the entire house was lit up as if it were broad daylight, she said. Diane immediately reacted as 'mother instinct' told her to react. She rushed to her hahy's cribLThe crib had . been placed in the living room next to a gas floor furnace, the only central heating unit in the house, because the bedrooms in the home were unheated. ) One entire wall next to the baby's crib was in flames. Flames were shooting up on all sides of the crib. A box underneath un-derneath the crib was burning. The underneath side of the crib mattress was burned. The plastic teething bars along the crib sides were melted. Toys across the room were melted. Drapes across the room were scorched. Portions Por-tions of the crib were burned. Even cardboard boxes on the kitchen cupboards cup-boards were burned. Firemen said later that within a few minutes the entire room would have burst into flame. Diane found her still sleeping baby curled up in the crib next to the headboard head-board which was closest to the furnace. The pillow on which he slept was burned except for the spot where his tiny head lay. The crib bumper pads surrounding the baby were not burned. bur-ned.

About 12:12, Springville Fire Department Engineer Bob Williams received a call at the station to investigate in-vestigate a "minor fire which already had been put out." Officer Williams checked the baby, conversed with the family doctor, and all the while the baby was smiling and laughing. He attributed cause of the fire to charred material found on top of the floor furnace, apparently a baby quilt perhaps thrown or dropped from the crib onto the furnace. An "air pocket" surrounding the baby probably saved his life. Officer Williams said. .
