I think every school built in Emery County, between the time of the first log cabins and the modern schools with their efficient buzzer systems, had a bell. I can testify that the first elementary school I attended in Clawson and the high school I graduated from in Ferron both had bells. Sometimes on a clear morning you could hear them for miles, summoning the feet that creeping slow to school. . .went storming out to playing. The school bell in Clawson was rung precisely at 8:30 a.m. tevery school day, 30 minutes before the hour of starting school. It not only told students and parents that they had just half an hour before school took up, but it gave them a chance to set their clocks. shoot from prone position in recent hunter safety course.

With the start of the hunting seasons in Utah, and the weather becoming much colder, fishing seems to be pushed aside. During the fall season, trout are actively feeding to prepare for the winter months when food is relatively scarce. In Emery and Sanpete counties, several lakes on the Manti are producing good catches of trout. Three anglers had 14 brook trout when checked by this officer at Wrigley Reservoir. The trout, in brilliant spawning colors, were between 12 and 14 inches in length. All of the fish were taken on artificial flies. Ferron Five members of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers attended the State and National Convention at Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City Saturday. Those attending were Ida Rasmussen, Jessie Olsen, Ruby Peterson, Virginia Sorensen and Ida Conklin. A special tribute was given in honor of the late Kate B. Carter followed by a Pioneer fashion show, a special type of Musical entertainment and a delicious supper.

One angler checked at Academy Mill Reservoir near Petes Hole had his limit of 8 to 12 inch brook trout, catching the fish on worms. Joes Valley and Grassy Lake have also been giving up some nice rainbow trout. Of the fishermen checked, most took the fish on spinners and cheese baits as well as flies are very effective when fishing for fall trout.

The best way to get a check on the time was to listen for the school bell. When it rang, you knew that it was 8:30 give or take two or three minutes. Chris Jensen was the school janitor then.

He not only did a conscientious job of taking care of the school, but he was also concerned about ringing the bell at the right time. 314 TX celebrate helped weddings.
