The Grace family were all out of the house at the time whe the fire Was noticed, a-bout a-bout 8 p.m. and the entire structure struct-ure was filled with flames, preventing pre-venting any possible rescue of its contents. The Grace children were playing a short distance from their home, and Mrs. Grace had picked up her infant son about 7:30 wrapped him in a blanket and had gone over to watch the others at play. Had she not done this, the child would probably pro-bably have smothered, as the room in which he normally sleeps was filled with smoke when the fire was discovered. The city fire department was summoned immediately, but they were unable to prevent total loss of the house, as the fire had progressed pro-gressed too far. The Grace family are making their home temporarily with Mrs. Grace's brother, Alburn Woolsey and family. H. S.

Safety Tip for the Week CROSSWALKS AND SAFETY ZONES ' Crosswalks and safety zones are for pedestrians and they have rights which auto drivers are bound to respect. Slow down and have your car under control when approaching a pedestrian area. Keep In mind: That some pedestrian may take a chance and try to beat your car to the crossing; that an old person may start across the street and become confused; that children may rush across the street they know nothing about traffic traf-fic rules and easily become frightened or confused. According to the National Conservation Bureau, many people cannot judge the speed of a car, and , therefore do not allow time enough to escape an approaching vehicle. It Is better to yield some of your own rights than have an accident which might cause a death. . . .. CORRECTION In a news item in last week's paper concerning a 2-car collision, we inadvertently used the name of Duane Evans as one of the drivers instead of Duane Cllark. The Sun wishes to apologize to Mr. Evans for any embarrassment which may have been caused him because of this error.

Edding-ton, Edding-ton, Andrew Trane, Nettie Me lt has been a good many years since we experienced a severe epidemic ep-idemic of either typhoid or smallpox, small-pox, but we have never been entirely en-tirely free from an occasional case, and at times, in some localities rather severe outbreaks. Almost every year we run across one or two cases of typhoid right here in our own community. Some of the Eastern States are experiencing a rather severe out-break of smallpox small-pox at the present time. We are certain to have an increase in contagious con-tagious diseases for the next year or so due to the extensive migration migrat-ion of individuals from state to state and from other countries during the war and immediately afterward. Unfortunately we still have a few individuals who cannot eeem to be convinced of the efficacy of protection against these diseases. Just how anyone in this day and age and with the experience of the armed forces before them can still say these inoculations are no good is more than most of us can understand. under-stand. And it is these few individuals indiv-iduals who keep these diseases from completely dying out. A real effort has been made in the past few years to place these inoculations on a community basis so that they are available to everyone. every-one. Our nursing organizations are soon to sponsor more -clinics for typhoid and small-pox. Don't fail to avail yourself of these if you are not absolutely certain that you are already protected. Do not jeopardize jeopard-ize yourself for the Bake of undergoing under-going these simple measures for protection. THEY DO PROTECT. . CITY HEALTH DEPT.

I SHINE (On the Cave Trail In American ' Fork Canyon) I stood on a trail on a mountain High up where the evergreens grow; I looked away down the canyon Where the sunset light was aglow. Just a speck on that mighty mountain, But I drank in a gorgeous sight; The reflected glow of that sunset Struck, and filled my soul with delight. The winds on the mountain caressed car-essed me, The fragrance of pines dulled an ache, And over the grandeur of canyon Was beauty I'll never forsake. Forever, and ever, and ever, Through years, and when years are no more, I'll shine with the shine of that sunset For to heaven such must be my door. M. J.
