TOOELE City Building Inspector Jim Buzianis said he has cautioned new home owners to dump a bucket of water monthly in basement drain traps to block fiunes from blowing up water tanks.

She received her bachelor of arts degree from BYU in 1942 and has attended both the University of Utah and Utah State. PLANS for retirement include more time to do some sewing and needlepoint. A talented writer, Mrs. Clarke laughed at one time she had planned to write the great American novel. During her school years both at Provo High and BYU she was on the yearbook and newspaper staffs.
