Guzzo Earns d New Position With Thiokol Sat- urday afternoon as he officially opened the Christmas season in Brigham City with his annual first visit. Santas entrance down Main street from First North was preceded by the Box Elder High school band. He arrived in a wagon pulled by four Shetland ponies, and threw candy kisses to the crowding youngsters who became part of the entourage as it passed the court house. After returning to the court house grounds, Santa shook hands with his many small-fradmirers and led In singing yule-tid- e songs such as Jingle Bells Clomax of and Silent Night. the event came when he toned on the Christmas lights over Main street. Arrival of the white bearded old gentleman served as a reminder that Christmas is just three weeks away and that residents should begin their shopping. Slate Late Closing To aid shoppers during the holiday buying spree, Brigham City stores will remain open every Friday until 8 p. m. The late closing will prevail also on Dec. 18, 19, 20, 22,' and 23. Best advise is to get that Christmas shopping done early to gain the widest selection of merchandise and be spared the usual rush. And as for Santa, he will be visiting the downtown area each Friday afternoon and during the week preceding Christmas. Local children are in for additional treats just before Christmas when the Civic club and Brigham City join hands in pro viding sacks of candy for Santa to give away.

Toddler Burned in Saturday Accident An Brigham City boy received second degree burns Saturday in a fire mishap at his home. Billie Sereika, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sereika, 23 East First North, was burned as he stood near an incinerator where his older brother was burning dry leaves. Gasoline was accidentally spilled on the youngster and flames from the incinera- tor ignited hs clothing, accord- ing to family members. He was taken to the Cooley Memorial hospital by the Brigham City ambulance where he is being treated for burns on the face, body and legs. His condition was reported as improving Tuesday afternoon. Officials Slate Meeting to Plan Fund Campaign The first planning meeting to discuss the 1959 March of Dimes campaign in Box Elder county is scheduled for tonight, Wednes day, at 8 p. ro. in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. State and regional officials are expected to be on hand in eluding Mrs. R. Evans, state chairman of ladies activities; Bruce Hanks, Intermountain-reresentative, and Maurice Warsaw, state chairman. County chairman for the 1959 drive is Nick Topik, Brigham City. He will be assisted on the local level by Mrs. Paul Johnson, in charge of the Mothers March, andd Lewis M. Peterson, Brigham City chairman. Goal Is $10,000 The campaign will start Jan. 2 with $10,000 set as the county quota, said Topik. He noted that under the National Foundations recently expanded program, funds raised through the March of Dimes are being used to combat not only polio but virus diseases, arthritis and birth defects too. Across the nation, at least 11,000,000 Americans suffer the pain of crippling arthritis and An estimated rheumatism. infants are born each year with some sort of defect Topik noted that beyond these needs are the continuing demands of polio care, the expanding requirements of virus research and the training of professional disease fighters. Topik said the meeting will be open to the public. Was Used For Irrigation Heretofore, water from nine springs in the valley had been used for irrigation by the two groups. These included West Hailing, Olson, Peter C. Jensen, One and Two, East Hailing, Knoll, Rock Creek, and Upper and Lower Maple springs. Need for Brigham City to have title to the springs was required by the state engineers office before the water could be diverted to another purpose. However, the agreement stipulates that Brigham City may not take more water than it is able to replace for irrigation. On this point, Eskelsen explained that during the irrigation season, there are 10.68 second feet of water owned by the city which can be traded. This includes seven second feet from Pine View dam and the reminder from rights already owned in Upper Maple, Birch, and Peter C. Jensen springs plus the drainage from South Fork. To Trap Runoff It U proposed to trap runoff waters in the reservoir which should provide more than an adequate supply for irrigation. This would enable the city to take more water up to the total flow of all the springs. Eskelsen predicted that this amount would be sufficient to supply a popula tion of 30,000 persons. He voiced hope that pipe to the springs could be laid and the reservoir completed within the r prescribed period. Officials Are Optimistic Officials are optimistic over the water storage plan. Runoff waters which previously had been wasted they feel may be kept and used for irrigation. Engineer figures show that the average runoff over the past 13 years has been 12,350 acre feet. This ranged from a high of acre feet in 1950 to a low of 6,260 in 1940. Engineering studies currently are underway and actual work on the project is expected to start next summer. The first phase will be to lay pipe from each spring since these lines all will pass under the reservoir to a proposed outfall line. Water from the springs will be taken (Continued on Page Two) IMPORTANT WATER AGREEMENT Mayor Ruel Eskelsen, center, studies an agree-- 1 ment reached between the city and local irrigation groups giving Brigham City title to all springs in Mantua valley.
