"We want to do all we can to explain how producers become eligible for low yield payments," said Mark H. Jensen, County Executive Director of tlie ASCS Office. Low yield is when a disastthe potential yield of a crop after er seriously affects planting. "We have had several claims filed for disaster payments already and we want to make sure that anyone that has suffered a low yield due to a natural disaster is ofthe program and has an opportunity to file a claim," Jensen said. Jensen emphasized that if a crop fails and is not harvested, an appraisal must be ide to determine the po tential production of the land before any other use is made of the land. Also, if tlie af fected crop is carried through to harvest and a low yield is apparent, production evidence must be submitted to the ASCS office and the crop residue must not be destroyed until ASCS verifies the damage and acreage. There have been severe drought conditions throughout the County this year which have seriously affected the yields and be sides tlie drought, claims have been filed for low yields due to frost, grasshoppers, smut, and wild game (geese). "If you have any question as to whether you qualify for a payment or not, bring your production evidence (bin scale tickmeasurements, ets, etc.) to the County Office and we will determine If you are eligible," Jensen said. r City Will Enforce Tremonton police will enforcing tlie two hour parking limit on main stivet and side streets, a distance of one block from main, according to City Council nun Harry (iephart. and she was sponsored by Dream Girl Hair P'ash-lo- ns of Tremonton.

Dressage calls upon the animal to strike out with his forelegs while kicking back with the rear legs at the same time. Andaluzian horses on the other hand were bred and trained for the great bull rings in Southern Spain. Their training developed a motion which gives them the appearance of dancing. Through skilled training these two breeds have earned the title "The Dancing White Stallions."

The corner barbershop of Dan Briggs, at Main and First West, will be vacant after this week marking the barber's first move since coming to Tremonton in 1930. The building recently was sold to Don Southwick, operator of Southwick Realty and is being remodeled to provide office space for his business. Lest anyone get the idea that Dan, as everyone calls him, is retiring he hastens to inform people that he'll be setting up shop just off main street at 30 North Tremont. This is the "first time Pve ever moved" since setting up shop in Tremonton back in 1930. Dan, in fact, was the first tenant to occupy the newly completed Daryl building after its comReg Brough ocpletion. cupied a real estate office just next door he recalls and James Walton ran tlie US post office in the rear and the newspaper in the basement. "Pm going to miss main-stree- t" the barber notes still worrying about tlie transient business he'll miss. One of nine barbers among his close relatives Dan learned the business at a time when their were not barber schools serving as an apprentice to his brother in Salt Lake. Strangely enough, the barber says it was his wife's beautician skills that attracted them to Tremonton. "They didn't have a beauty operator here," he recalls. "We really cameinforthe beauty parlor." His first wife, Myrle Briggs, operated a beautician shop in the rear of the barber shop until her death in 1961. "We had the first permanent wave machine In Tremonton," he still boasts. Haircuts sold for fifty-cen- ts a head in those days and a shave went for a quar- - ter. times But there were many when a barber had to settle for chicken or some eggs for his pay, Dan re- calls. And access to a barber as easy as today. from Snowville or twice a month they were tickled." For the women, getting their hair done at the barber shop was a must and a ticklish situation in a few instances as Dan tells it There was, for Instance, the woman who came in to get her hair done from out west who casually noted that her labor pains had started in Howell. The lady in the chair ahead of her hearing that exclaimed "My gosh, woman, take my turn," Dan chuckles. The barber, who always has a wave for passerby perched in his barber chair, has no plans to retire in the near future. Insplte of being a little melancholy about the move, Dan manages to be optimist wasn't "If people got in once - ... . - . tg j "It's like checkers," he adds. "There's only one move left" Although, he claims main street hasn't really changed all that much since 1930, other things have. "I haven't shaved a man for so long I can't remember," he says quietly. "In the days whenyou ran around with no hot water it was dific. n's ferent but modern have to shave pliances easy ap- made it as at home as here." And he adds: hairthey just "This long don't get their hair cut anymore." Moving to the new location along with Dan will be the original barber pole that hangs outside his shop. "That barber pole came with me and it shows it don't it" he says. The pole, which finally broke down "two or three years ago" Is not electrical but Is "stem wound." Not one to fight progress, Dan plans to have a new pole at his new location. Don Briggs still at work with customer. |
