Members of the Fire Dept. are urging all homeowners and businesses busi-nesses in the area to place adequate ade-quate fire extinguishers in strategic strate-gic locations within their homes and establishments. Fire Chief Rop er states that church buildings and . schools should also have this pro-1 tection. A sufficient supply of these new all purpose extinguishers, effective on gas, electric, paper and wood f'res is on hand for those wanting to purchase extra protection for j their property. Since March 31 the volunteer fire i men have answered six calls for ' help. Some of these could have undoubtedly un-doubtedly been extinguished with one of the extinguishers that firemen fire-men are selling as the majority were weed fires which got out of control. The Delta Volunteer Fire Dept. was formed in Ap-il, 1941 and mem bers have been "on the call" since that time. During that time, only one fireman has sustained very serious injuries, Seth Jackson.

One of the biggest headaches that members of the department have are spectators who sometimes race ahead of the engines themselves them-selves to a fire. Such actions can cause unnecessary delay and many precious minutes are lost. The two biggest fires in Delta in 1965 were at Intermountain Farmers Farm-ers Ass'n and at the Crest Theater Building. Both were difficult to bring under control, firemen say. Delta Firemen drill once a month. Beginning this week a six-month six-month training school will be conducted con-ducted by Capt. Allen George of Trade Tech. At the school Delta firemen will undergo a series of rigorous tests in maintenance, drills operations, safety, etc. Firemen attended at-tended a similiar school once a month fcr the complete year of 1965. Delta City paid the nominal cost of five dollars for each man to attend. Firemen hope that through the sales of the all purpose extinguishers, extinguish-ers, that the department will be able to purchase a 1000 gal. tank. The tank will be installed on the truck and will be invaluable to fire men when they answer a call outside out-side of Delta City limits. Cleo Whicker, Secretary of the Department, says that the fire department de-partment answers approximately 36 calls a year. And the number is pretty evenly divided with 18 calls within Delta City and 18 in the west Millard area. Fire losses within Delta last year amounted to approximately $351,-500.00. $351,-500.00. In the outlying area losses amounted to approximately $19,-200.00. $19,-200.00. Officers of the fire department are Leland Roper. Chief; Cleo Whicker. Sec; Kennard Riding. Asst.

We cannot imagine the kind of mind that seeks pleasure through the wanton destruction of public or private property.

However, we seriously doubt if the vandalism was done by anyone any-one other than by some of our own youth.

The sale drew buyers and sellers from several states and from many Utah points. Both buyers and sellers sell-ers were on hand at the opening of the sale at 10:00 a.m. and stayed r.ntil 8:00 p.m. while pen after pen ( choice calves were auctioned. The sale grossed a total of 5362,-128.76, 5362,-128.76, the largest in the history of the auction. ilnoluded in the consignments were Herefords, Angus, Holsteins and crossbreeds. One of the highlights of the sale was the sale of a fat Holstein steer, consigned by John Chachas. The steer weighed 1440 and brot 27 cents per lb. fcr a total $388.80. One of the prettiest pens of calves in the late afternoon was the 100 head from Spring Valley consigned by Ray Skinner. The calves were owned by B. H. Robinson. Robin-son. In the late afternoon hours of the sale, Deseret Cattlemen Blaine and Lincoln Cropper's consignments brought spirited bidding from buyers. buy-ers. Blaine's consignment topped the market at $34.80. Lincoln's consignment con-signment brought $34.00. Delta Livestock Auction provides an important service to local cattle men by bringing buyer and seller together in a congenial atmosphere. atmos-phere. One cattleman, who operates locally, lo-cally, all over the state of Utah and in Arizona said Tuesday after noon that the prices at the Delta Livestock Auction are the best in the western states. According to figures complied by the management of the auction, 28,961 was the total number of live stock bought and sold during 1964 for a gross of $3,135,342.23. The figures took a healthy swing upwardly during 1965 as the head count totaled 34,772 for a gross business of $4,277,181.84. The annual spring sale has grown to such proportion that Mr. Elwin Pace, Owner and Manager of the Delta Livesetock Auction, has made arrangements for the past two years to hold two spring feeder and stocker sales. The second one for 1966 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 26 and will be held in conjunction with the Annual Angus Sale. V ue of public and private property Ferhaps all we d e s e r v e in the west Millard area is the old familiar fami-liar two-holer outhouse.

Fly Newspapers to Men Overseas . . . Well, Could Happen Prospects are bright for early enactment en-actment of legislation supported by NNA and ANPA to fly newspapers newspa-pers to servicemen overseas, without with-out payment of airmail postage. This should save weeks in delivery de-livery of all APO-addressed newspapers, news-papers, since planes instead of ships will be used. Weeklies are specifically covered by the bill, which also includes letters, tape-recorded tape-recorded conversations and small packages. The bill is an outgrowth of a trip to Europe last fall by key members of the House Post Office Committee. Commit-tee. When they interviewed U. S. soldiers, they found slow mail delivery de-livery a major complaint. Rep. Thaddeus Dulski (D., N.Y.) and other P.O. Committee members mem-bers introduced bills to fly APO mail. Quick hearings were held. unanimous committee approval vot ed, and this week the House passed the Dulski bill without a dissenting vote. Lest there be criticism that mail was being flown while war supplies were delayed, the bill was changed in committee to provide that aerial delivery from the port of embarkation embarka-tion be on a "space available" basis. ba-sis. Originally APO mail was to receive re-ceive regular airmail service.
