Patronage to the stand by the public has been excellent and a neat profit, half of which goes to the Brigham City Peaches, is taken in each night the stand is operated, Andersen said. The profit from the stand is going into a fund that will eventually be spent for the good of the Brigham City children. This very possibly may be the swim building of an out-doming pool in the city within the next few years. The present swimming facilities at the high school are inadequate to care for all of the children wishing to swim, and a new pool would be a great help, Anderson said. The concession stands are available for any civic or private event that takes place at the park. The Jayeees give 25 percent of the proceds back to sponsors of the activities with the exception of the Peaches ball team. Ross county, advises en, chapter chairman.

Lillywhite, county fire warden. Building fires without permits is illegal and dangerous, If everyone Lillywhite said. would live up to the fire regulations the loss in damage to property would be practically nil. There are five rules that should be observed to prevent forest and range fires. They are: (1) Put out matches before throwing them down; (2) Rub out cigarettes and cigar butts, and pipe fillings; (3) Use the ash tray in your automobile; (4) Extinguish camp and warming fires before leaving, and (5) During the closed season, secure a permit from the county sheriff or the county chief before doing any burning. According to Lillywhite there has been considerable burning of fires without permits. Often the flies are dangerously near farm buildings. The law concerning fires is as follows: During the closed season it shall be unlawful to set on fire or cause to be set on fire any inflammable material on any forest land, brush land, grass or range land, gain, stubble or hay land, or to set any fire for the purpose of clearing either his own or the property of an other without first securing written or printed permit from the chief fire warden or one of his deputies and complying fully with the terms and con dtions under which the permit was Issued and which are nec essary to be observed in setting such fire and preventing it from spreading for the protec tion of life and property. The chief fire warden or any deputy fire warden shall have the right to refuse, revoke or postpone permits where necessary to prevent danger to life or property.
