Lehi National Guards Arrive Home Sunday Members of the Lehi Service Battery, with all other members of the Utah National Guard, arrived home Sunday morning after spending spend-ing three weeks, in the Northwest engaged in war maneuvering. This was the longest active duty training period since the World War. Qn Monday of this week two thousand Utah national guardsmen received their pay checks, totaling $85,000, for the three weeks' maneuvers, ma-neuvers, the largest peace time payroll in the guard's history, it is reported. The guardsmen complained of the black dust as their biggest problem, prob-lem, stating that the soil near the encampment at Grand Mound, Washington, was like a fine powder, which filled the faces and clothes of the men. The morale of the Utah troops in the maneuvers was praised by Colonel L. H. Duffin, commander of the 145th field artillery regiment, who stated that they stood up under un-der the toughest and longest active duty training period since he World War. Due to a main line derailment in Washington, the Utah troop trains were all late. Although officers and men boarded special trains after a brief rest period, they were still weary when they arrived at Utah points.

Ravaging Fire Destroys .Evans Property Fanned by a brisk wind a fire which started on outbuildings at the Hyrum C. Evans home Monday afternoon about 4:45 o'clock spread rapidly and resulted in destruction to property amounting to approximately approxi-mately $1500, according to reports. Approximately 50 tons of hay, a horse barn, a hay barn, and a cow barn, all belonging to Hyrum C. Evans; a barn and chicken coop belonging to Mrs. Geneva Stewart; about six or eight tons of hay, a barn, chicken coop, some tools and other property belonging to Sylvester Syl-vester Evans, a hay rack belonging to Clifford Austin, fences between the three places and other property went up in flames and were totally destroyed. Had not help arrived immediately, immediate-ly, the home of these three, two garages, a granary filled with grain tfnd a quantity of coal would have been destroyed within a short time it is stated, as the flames were leaping high into the air and aided by the wind was scattering sparks over a large area. The three barns were adjoining each other. For a while it looked like the entire block would go up in flames and within a few minutes time this would probably have been the case. The fire first started on buildings in the northwest corner of the Hyrum Hy-rum C. Evans lot, it is believed. It had gained headway when first noticed. The alarm was sent in and the local fire department rushed to the scene immediately and began fighting the blaze. Flames were shooting over the, Sylvester Evans home for a time, but workers kept the roof wet and fought the blaze back. The firemen and workers kept the flames back from the homes of all three and were successful in saving the Hyrum C. Evans Granary filled with grain and coal, the twb. garages, chicken coops and buildings and the Roland Tidd home, which were all threatened. When it looked like the fire was getting out of control, going in three different directions, ah alarm was sent to the American Fork fire department, who responded immediately imme-diately with a full crew of workmen, work-men, and with the Lehi firemen worked diligently in keeping the fire under control and extinguishing the blaze. It is believed that children playing play-ing with matches were responsible for the fire. It would probably 'be- hard to estimate the exact damage as property prop-erty that was destroyed has been accumulated over a period of years and represents a great deal to the owners. In estimating what it would cost to replace the hay, buildings, build-ings, etc. it would be in the neighborhood neigh-borhood of $1500 or more, according accord-ing to reports. Lehi WPA Project Approved Presidential approval for a project proj-ect at Lehi has been received at the office of Darrel J. Greenwell, state WPA administrator, it is reported.

Inquiries received indicate that many Utah voters still believe they can vote for both Republican and Democratic candidates in the September Sep-tember 3. primary, county clerk, C. A. Grauk,5 ciClares. - f , ... Actually, Mr. Grant informs, a voter can legally vote on either the Republican or Democratic ballot, but not on both. For example, a Republican who wants to support a Democratic friend in the primary can vote for that friend, but he will then be unable un-able to vote for any of the G. O. P. candidates. Briefly, the Utah primary operates oper-ates in this manner: When the voter enters the polling place he is given a ballot carrying the names of all Democratic and Republican candidates who are involved in a primary contest. The ballot is perforated per-forated between the Democratic and Republican lists. It is also perfor ated on the outer edges so that no one will be able to tell which side of the ballot has been used. The voter takes the ballot, tears it down the center, retains either the Democratic or Republican list I which he marks, and deposits the other half in a waste ballot box. The marked half is deposited in the official ballot box. Thus the voter, regardless of party affiliation, is allowed to vote for the candidates of one party only in the primary. The same thing is true of the run-off on October 1. There are, however, no legal re strictions prohibiting Democrats from voting on the Republican side or vice versa. Lions Entertained At Lawn Party Members of the local Lions club J were royally entertained by the' Lionesses last Thursday evening at a lawn party at the M. S. Lott home.

Mr. Brimhall also accompanied accom-panied community singing by the group. In charge of the party were Mrs. Thomas Powers, Mrs. George Price, Mrs. Armond Webb, Mrs. Ernest Webb, Mrs. Stanley . Taylor and Mrs. Byron Whipple.
