These amusing dogs are loved by many children. They have appeared on television many times and on many stages in various towns and cities throughout the state. Their programs have been enjoyed by the children of the State Training School in American Fork, the State Mental Hospital, LDS Primary Childrens Hospital and many churches and other groups in Salt Lake City. Mike and Maggie are owned and trained by Axel Holm, prominent businessman of Heber. He is manager of the Western Stores there. Training and showing these dogs and their tricks is only a hobby with Mr. Holm and not a business. He loves to present the act as much as the dogs love to act. They do not follow a routine, but do only as they are directed. Mr. Holm does not accept money for these performances. He entertains free for charitable or other worthy causes.

This approval was given to the Duchesne County Noxious Weed Control Committee by the county commissioners recently. Mr. Zupko has been operating his own spray outfit for the control of noxious weeds in this area for several years. In making recommendation to the county commissioners for Mr. Zupkos appointment, noxious weed committee representatives pointed out that he has first hand knowledge of noxious weeds, spray equipment, location of noxious weed infested areas, treatment to kill such weeds, use of chemicals, and is known by farmers in the county- ' Approval of his employment as weed supervisor was on a part-tim- e basis as required for spray work. The weed committee had requested full time employment for a weed supervisor to allow him to head an educational program for the control of noxious weeds when spraying and other control work need not be done. The matter of purchasing a new truck for the weed sprayer this season, and. the price of chemicals to farmers, was taken under by the county commissioners. Weed committee members had recommended that the price of the chemical to farmers cost to be raised from one-ha- lf three-fouractual cost For years such chemical has been purchased in bulk lots by the county' then cost per gallon to sold at one-hathe users.
