Press Letter: Dear Editor: Today Beaver City will attempt, and probably annex, the North addition.-Whthen, on 24th Aug., will Beaver City again attempt the annexation of an area East of Beaver City? It seems one area of. Annexation should keep Beaver City busy enough. Why try to force County residents into the City? Developers, that's why. If someone actually wants to be in the City then Beaver City should, if possible, take them in. But, if Beaver County residents, who are very happy living in Beaver County, are forced into Beaver City, that is a sad state of affairs and certainly no way to win friends and influence people. very strongly protest the forced annexation into Beaver City of people who want to stay in Beaver County! During the bration, our family, the Leland F. andThelma Famsworth Priday Family held a reunion in Beaver as we remembered the "Roots and Branches" of our family. Thank you. Beaver, for your hospitality, for making it possible for us to have a choice, wonderful gathering. We enjoyed the Pioneer Park, which was even provided with a marvelous playground for the children who were needing exercise after having ridden long distances in cars to get there. We visited the cemetery where there are graves of 1 5 of our direct ancestors buried. Thank you. Beaver for keeping the cemetery as a beautiful resting place for them. Visiting the Famsworth Family home and farm, church, schools, the Court House, and other points of interest, then attending the Parade with its e floats and lovely at others the joining picnic on the Square and other festivities made, our Reunion complete.

Pilots who fly at low altitudes must be alert to power lines spanning waterways, canyons and other locations so they do not accidentally make contact. Generally, any time pilots find themselves below mountain ridge tops they are in a wire environment. Be aware that as light sources change so can visibility of overhead power lines.

Call Utah Power at When boating, watch for overhead power lines, as masts, fishing poles, leaded fishing line or tall radio antennae could contact overhead wires and cause shock or electrocution. When parasailing, hang gliding or flying hot air balloons, be sure to stay clear of any overhead power lines and poles. Contact with the can cause serious injuries or death. It's easy to misjudge the distance you are from a power line. Your best line of defense for maintaining safety is to stay as far away as possible from any lines or electrical equipment. Try to contain activities to times of the day when the sun is not rising or setting. These times of day can cause increased glare conditions and can be very hazardous as lines and equipment are difficult to high-volta- identify. "We encourage everyone to remember these simple safety rules and help ensure a safe and accident-fre- e recreational season for all," said Eschete.
