Tips Offered on Fire Prevention In order to help prevent dangerous and costly destruction on our forests during the fire season which now is upon us the following rules should be followed: 1. DEFINITELY CRUSH OUT YOUR SMOKES! When stop to do your smoking in safe places only. With the side of your shoe, clear a space in the surface litter down to the mineral soil. Drop therein your cigaret, cigar, or pipe ash; then, with the heel of your shoe, grind the ash into the ground until yiu're sure it's out. When driving, use your ash tray. NEVER throw burning material from any vehicle. 2. BREAK YOUR MATCH IN TWO! This safety test will ensure that the flame is extinguished. Always feel the burnt end before throwing your match away. Always make sure your match is DEAD OUT (a good habit for home or woods). Before you build a campfire, scrape away all inflammable material from a spot at least six feet in diameter. Dig a hole in the center and build your fire there. Keep it small. NEVER build a campfire against trees or logs, or near brush. Before leaving your campfire, stir the coals while soaking them with water. Turn the slicks over and soak both sides, as well as the earth around the fire. Make sure the last spark is DEAD OUT by feeling the embers with your bare hand. 4. USE CARE IN BURNING! First of all, acquire a burning permit from an officer when you are going to burn brush or debris. Have plenty of help, tools, and equipment handy. Be sure substantial fire lines are made around the proposed burn area. NEVER burn slash, grass, leaves, or brush in unusually dry, hot, or windy weather. 4-- Beaver to Host Meeting Of Civic Clubs Group The Associated Civic Clubs of Southern and Eastern Utah will hold their next monthly meeting Saturday, June 25, in the Community Center at Beaver, it is announced by President J.
