HOME OF NATIONS GREATEST RESERVES OF NATURAL GAS ,1131 Volume Emery County (Utah) Progress Thursday, Oetoher 158 Pioneer Resident By t'larin D. Ashby Of Emery Observes Birthday Mrs. Sarah Smith Tis truly said that the hand which rocks the cradle keeps the world rockin too. Before we go any further, we would like to clarify a statement we made last week in this column. After last weeks paper came out, the little woman graciously pointed out that perhaps there were some erroneous statements contained in the column. As a matter of fact she thoroughly convinced us (at the point of a gun) that all women do not throw a tizzie every time their husbands want to go deer hunting. So, in order to set the record straight, we would say that there are probably many women who do not do this. Instead, they just pack up and go along to keep an eye on the old man. There is no doubt about the fact that a quarer doesnt go as far today as it used to, unless you happen to drop it on the sidewalk. We ran across a startling fact this week that we feel should be passed on to the readers of this paper. You see, we found that October 19 is the Sweetest Day of the year. And that is not all we found. To our surprise, it was noticed 20 weeks. little skepti- that October has 91st birthday Monday, October 14. Mrs. Collier spends a good deal of here time in bed, although she still makes her own cough syrups and liniments. Her mind is very keen at her age. Her birthday was observed quietly at her home. A party was cancelled due to the flu epidemic. Mrs. Collier helped build the first log house in Emery, which was used for church house, school house and dance hall. She is the mother of seven children, four girls and three boys. Two are living: Leslie Collier, Emery, and Clarence Collier, Richfield. She boasts four generations of Colliers: Sarah Collier, 91, Clarence Collier, Richfield, 55; Donald Collier, 27, Salt Lake, and Larry Collier, 3, Salt Lake. Mrs. Collier has lived in Emery for 69 years. Her husband, George Collier, worked on the famous tunnel from beginning to end. He pulled a hand cart across the plains and was a Black Hawk War Veteran. Mrs. Collier came as a convert from Birmingham, England. She saved her own money to come to Utah, acting as a cook and a nursemaid. She was present when the townsite of Emery was dedicated. She and George Petty were the first secretary and treasurer of Emery and they paid out the money for this townsite. She paid her first taxes in Emery from money she earned from bounty on prairie dogs. She would kill 9 or 10 in a hole and scalp Tuesday Evening ts According to a report received recently from the Forest Service, we find that a total of approximately $73,818 is to be spent on roads on the Manti Forest in the next two years. In 1958 a total of $29,018 will be spent for new roads and reconstruction of present roads, including work in the Oowah Campground area, Johnson and Dairy Fork areas. During 1959 approximately $44,800 will be spent. This will be spent on Trail Mountain and Six Mile for new roads, and at Red Bluff and Fish Creek for reconstruction work. Perhaps this will make it possible for deer hunters and cattle men to go in and out of the forest area without spending some 7 hours to travel 15 miles, as was the case on many roads last weekend.

Disraeli Castle Dale Official Station Alvin Jensen, Observer Letter of Thanks Received for Drive Mrs. Homer Behunin of Ferron, who chairmaned a drive recently to gather articles for a bazaar to be held in behalf of retarded children, received the following letter from Helen B. Fleming, secretary of the Utah Association for Retarded Children: I find no words to express our thanks to you and the people of Ferron, who contributed so generously to the bazaar.

Information, Reports Bring Crime Control Control 740,-48- This information the loss and for some unknown reason the individual fails to report the crime thinking he would be classified as a stool pigeon or such, or the person committing the crime may be well known and they have no desire to get anyone involved with the law. This attitude can only further the criminal in his activities. Often the first or second offender, if caught and handled properly, can be corrected and be made to live a useful life If he is successful in completing a crime and not apprehended or handled in the proper manner it makes him eager to try future offenses. Many times in the past it has come to this office, via the grapevine, reports of crimes committed and not reported. This is especially true in the stealing of gas, tires, car accessories, etc. It is very true that there are times is compiled by fering your local law enforcement agency through the information reported to them by the people under their jurisdiction. Each month a complete report is made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation of each type of crime committed, and the number of crimes cleared by the arrest of person or persons involved. It is necessary for efficiency of law enforcemnt agencies to have a complete report of each type of crime occuring within their jurisdiction. Many times through repeated offenses, if the crimes are reported, it can be determined just how, when and where the offender is oprating. It has come to the attention of the Sheriffs office that a number of crimes committed within this county are not being reported. Often the person who commits the crime is known to the person suf are unable to recover the stolen property or apprehend the culprit, but it hinders your law enforcement agencies even further if the crimes are never reported. i is just Law enforcement strong as the people back of it. If you are to have good law enforcement, it must be through the cooperation and help of all the people, with a desire to see the job done. Only through the reporting of crimes is your law enforcement agencies able to understand and deal with the problems at hand. It is necessary to understand the nature of the crime and the loss to obtain the necessary money and men to do an efficient job. We urge you in the future to report all types of crimes, regardless of how small, to the Sheriff, City Marshall or Highway Patrol. when we y tour, which will be 11 and 12, will cover country that has been seen by very few persons, and will be for the purpose of taking pictures to be shown throughout the country, and also as a means of interesting the state publicity department in the possibility of developing this area as a spot of tourist attraction. Mr. Conover, who has been working on arrangements for the tour for several weeks, reports that representatives from several agencies have stated they will be on the tour, and he states that anyone Interested In seeing some of the finest scenery possible Is invited to accompany the group. The only necessity is transportation, which should be a pickup truck or outfit, together with a few supplies. The caravan will leave Ferron Monday morning, November 11, and will journey through Moore into Dry Wash, Eagles canyon. Devils canyon, and on to Copper Globe. From there, depending on the weather, the caravan will continue to Red canyon and on to Hondu on the Muddy River canyon. This side trip will be dependent upon the weather, as the road is rather primitive. The group will then return to the Copper Globe area where camp will be set up for the night. On Tuesday the trek will be continued through the San Rafael Swell, across the head of Sinbad and out through Buckhorn Wash, into Castle Dale and Huntington. Residents of the county are urged to participate in this trek in order to take pictures, and also to be able to talk intelligently in advertising our county. The caravan will travel through vast winter, grazing lands, through enormous pines, across 'bleached while sand hills contrasted against the blood red walls of Red canyon. It will also pass some of the fabulously rich uranium ore bodies, and many uranium mines in the San Rafael Swell area. Those who anticipate taking this trip should, .parry extra fuel for their vehicles, ,,,;qme water, food, and bedding for camping overnight. According to Mr. Conover, the only factor which might alter the plans of the trip would be the weather, providing a heavy storm hit the area. He also expressed a plea to those who appreciate nature to come out and help boost Emery county to the place it so deserves. article in the Progress last week), a loiter from Mrs. Wm. T.

If weeds like dandelion, plantain, purslane and other broad-leafe- d weeds are showing up, they should be treated now. Spray them with 2, using a mixture of 1 tablespoons of 2, per gallon of water. A small hand sprayer is very suitable for treating the home lawn. This chemical is quite harmless to the spray operator. However, care must be taken to avoid getting it on flowers, trees and other ornamentals because 2, can kill or damage many desirable plants, cautions Louis A. Jensen, Utah State University Extension Agronomist. Another way to help control lawn weeds is to fertilize this fall. Use about 10 pounds of a good nitrogen fertilizer per 1000 square feet of lawn. This will help the grass to grow vigorously and crowd out the weeds. Ask the county agent for a free copy of Extension Leaflet No. 1 Home Lawns for Utah. It has a lot of helpful hints on how to have a better lawn. 4-- D Rewards Offered Rewards for information leading to the conviction of persons illegally killing elk or moose will again be in effect this year, the Utah Department of Fish and Game stated today. Rewards to persons supplying this information will be $100 in case concerning elk and $300 in cases concerning moose. The rewards, which will be paid by the departmnt, were instituted in an effort to thwart the generally large number of illegal kills of these animals taking plac? during the deer season. |
