STORK BRINGS GIRLS. Old Man Stork has been showing a partiality to the gentler sex during September in Salina, with the result that three baby girls were born, while the birth of only one boy was recorded. September 17, a baby girl gladdened the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Crane, and on September 19 a fine baby girl made her appearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Thompson. Tuesday of this week Mr. and Mrs. George Miller announced the arrival of a tiny baby girl. At all homes, the report is, mothers and daughters are doing splendidly. OFFICERS ENTERTAIN. The home of Mrs. Arthur Martin was the scene of a pretty party, when officers and teachers of the First Ward primary, of which organization Mrs. Martin is a member, entertained for members of the primary in the Second ward, Friday evening. A spirited game of cootie was played as a pastime of the hour, and prizes were won by Miss Hazel Torgensen and Miss Addie Lawrence. Bright-hue- d marigolds centered the small tables, where guests were seated for luncheon. Places were marked for twenty-fiv- e. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Greenleaf visited the Southern Utah parks Sunday. Fire Prevention Week Proclaimed Fire Prevention week, which has been proclaimed by President Herbert Hoover to continue for one week, October 4, will be generally observed by the citizens of the nation, and particularly in this vicinity. Fortunately, Utah has escaped any serious halocust from the ravages of forest fires, which points that those seeking recreation in the forests haVe exercised the utmost care in the protection of the watersheds and the attractive spots where the people seek health and recreation. NaThe week to be observed as is tional Fire Prevention Week, primarily intended to impress upon the people the importance of preventing fires through carelessly throwing burning matches into the dry grass, leaving smouldering campfires and any other aft that would start a blaze that would rage and destroy the forests. Some of the highlights brought out in President Hoovers proclamation, follow: .Last year fires in the United plates caused a direct property loss estimated at nearly $500,000,000, an increase of $40,000,000 over 1929. These direct losses affected farmers, businessmen and working men. There were many more millions of indirect losses in rentals, (Continued on last page) home-owner- s, resented from distant points from California, the Dakotas and Kansas, and Ayrshires from Wisconsin and the coast. Swine, too, will be present in notable exhibits from as far away as Texas and Missouri. Sheep from the unexcelled flocks of Utah and Idaho will have to compete with prize contenders from other states. Ernest S Holmes, manager, predicts that the (Continued on last page) Hol-stei- Telluride Gang holds Fall Frolic frolic, a notable event put on twice a year by the officers, managers and employees of the .Telluride Power company, is fast gaining in popularity and is proving one of the cleverest events held in the entire state. An inviting spot is selected for the meetings, one being held in early summer and another early in the fall. The bully good boys and girls gangs from Richfield, Salina, Gunnison, Delta, Fillmore, Beaver, Marysvale and Panguitch, comprising managers, office assistants and linemen, throw shop talk to the four winds and enter for a big time. It was the good fortune of the editor and his wife to be invited to the affair, held in Beaver canyon last Sunday, and to mingle with the real lighters was a pleasure long to be remembered. The trip carried the picnickers through a gorgeous country. The autumn leaves all colors and all hues covered the mountains, and natures paintings were never so pretty.. The meeting was held at the companys power plant, far up Beaver canyon, amid the lofty cliffs and surrounded by numberless painted enthrall trees, a spectacle the universe. On the spacious lawn an appetizing lunch Was served, the good ladies, of course, providing a bounteous supply of delicacies that would please a king. This over, the time was devoted to games, talks and contests. More than an hour was devoted to this feature, with general superintendent for the Telluride Power company, L. R. Fournier, acting as master of ceremonies. Prizes were awarded to the winners. Clift McShane, in charge of the main station of the company, at the head of Beaver canyon, gave a warm welcome to the employees and their guests, and told the crowd to cut loose and enjoy themselves to the limit. Each manager from the various offices maintained by the company in the district, gave short talks or was represented by a story, reading, dancing or a song, and throughout the amusement afforded and the good time enjoyed marked the fall outing as one of the best ever held. Manager E. C. Wright of the local offices, Mrs. Wright, Miss Shirley Wright and Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Cherry were those from Salina attending the fall outing.

County Agent Boswell reported the success of the home reading project for the previous year. According to reports received from leaders, books read by those in the project totalled 2,412 in the present project year. The principal business of the meeting was to consider the state home demonstration program for 1932, as outlined in a communication from Mrs. Rena B. Maycock, state leader in home demonstration work, of the Utah Agricultural college extension service. According to the plans announced by Mrs. Maycock, the service has decided to emphasize all phases of homemaking rather than a specialized skill in the same. Such a plan does not anticipate ignoring the value and use of special skills, but it will try and make the skills consciously serve the homemaking idea as the major problem. For the year 1932, projects will be given in clothing, food and nutrition, house and furnishing, education and home reading. Leaders who attend the adult leaders training school, October 26 to November 7, inclusive, will be instructed in all phases of these homemaking problems. Upon their return to the county they will be expected to help crgan-iz- e the different communities to receive this work. According to the announcement of Mrs. Maycock, it is the plan of the extension service to send all specialists in the service into the counties in their turn, so that all phases of the home demonstration program will be emphasized during the year. Leaders in attendance represented the communities of Richfield, Venice, Central and Salina. Leaders chosen to attend the training school and take the work for 1932 were Mrs. T. A. Hunt, Richfield; Mrs. Jessie Thomell, Salina, and Mrs. Earl Hooten, Central. APPRECIATE WILLING HELP. D. M. Anderson, Bishop M. G. Burr, H. W. Cherry and officers of the Woodmen Hall Co., who suffered losses in the Thursday morning fire in Salina, desire to express their deepest gratitude for the untiring efforts of the firemen and to the multitude of friends who aided in every way to extend comfort and help during the fire and afterwards. Franklin T. Nelson, valued employee of the Telluride Power company, but who resides at Redmond, was nominated for the third time as town president of Redmond at the Citizens primary held at Redmond Tuesday evening. The primary was attended by the largest group of voters ever seen in that community, more than sixty being present, and the unanimous vote tendered Mr. Nelson bespeaks the confidence held for the candidate. Trustees named on the ticket with Mr. Nelson were J. B. Sorenson, J. C. Nielson, J. C. Chris tensen and Albert Poulson. HOLD OPENING SESSION. The opening session of the years program for the Ladies Literary and Civics club was held Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Franc Mattsson, president of the club. The meeting convened at two in th afternoon and the completing chapters in the study book of the club, Samath Allen In Europe, were read by Dr. Miss Mary McCallum, in a pleasing manner, sang several vocal solos as a concluding number. Mrs. Mattsson served a dainty luncheon to twenty members. Freece-Arneso- n. HOSTESS AT BRIDGE. Mrs. Deward Hopkins was a charming hostess for members of the bridge club at" the Hopkins home Saturday, between the hours of two and five in table the afternoon. The luncheon was covered with ecru lace cloth, with a centerpiece of pink garden flowers and blue and pink tapers at the ends. Honors were won at the game of the afternoon by Mrs. L. A. Hugentobler and Mrs. Max Sorenson. Eleven club members were entertained by Mrs. Hopkins. Fire of Unknown Origin Vanquishes Salina Opera House Damaging Two Nearby Residence Buildings An old landmark, the Salina Opera house, which had not been in use for a couple of years, was burned to the ground early Thursday morning, and the homes of G. M. Burr and D. M. Anderson, the latter occupied by II. W. Cherry, located on either side of the opera house, barely escaped being burned to the ground, and only for the gallant and untiring efforts of members of the Legion fire department, the three buildings would have been a total loss. As it was, the opera house was razed entirely and the residences on the east and west escaped with minor damages. The opera house was valued at $3,000, and was covered by a1 $1,500 insurance policy. The damage to. the Anderson home and the personal property belonging to Cherry, was placed at $1,000, both fully covered by insurance. Bishop Burr estimates his loss at between $800 and $1,000, which is also covered by insurance. The fire, which caused an approximate loss of a little more than was discovered at about 2 oclock $4,-00- 0, Thursday morning. At the Cherry home, a water Spaniel dog, tied at the door of a garage, gave an unusual bark, awakening Mrs. Cherry.

Vivian Burns was transacting business in Salt Lake this week. then that the fire was discovered raging in the rear of the opera house. An alarm was sounded and soon the firefighters were on the ground. At the arrival of the Legion firemen, the fire had gained much headway and the building was a seething, burning furnace. The Anderson home to the east, occupied by the Cherry famliy, was located about 25 feet from the opera house and was in danger. Efforts were first directed to saving this building. As the intense heat gained and sparks began to fly, the roof of the Burr building caught on fire, and instantly flames shot high into the air. Firemen directed the fighting to the Burr home and soon had it under control. Much damage, however, resulted from water and the removing of household goods from Bishop Burrs home. With the old opera house laid low and the homes on either side of the destroyed builc ing in safety, the firemen, who fough vigorously and successfully for more than three hours, guarded the burned area until daylight, when the last embers of the opera house blinked a farewell to the old structure. Edward Chamberlain, widely known fire adjuster of Salt Lake, and who was at Aurora the day previous to make an adjustment on the losses sustained by Mrs. Retta Huntsman, remained over in Salina until Thursday afternoon, and made satisfactory adjustments with the Woodmen Hall company, D. M. Anderson and II. W. Cherry. Just how the fire started has as yet been undetermined. It was reported that the building had been rented for the winter months to be used as a dance hall and that workmen had been seen about the building Wednesday, cleaning the place up in preparation of holding the opening dance this, Friday, night. In the rear was an old stove and likely burning paper fell onto the floor starting the fire. When the blaze once started, the old building was soon a mass of flames and it burned rapidly. The interior of the building was of lumber, and the outside walls were covered with corrugated iron. The opera house was owned by the . Woodmen Hall company, incorporated, with P. C. Scorup as president. The building was erected in 1893 bv (Continued on last page) Association Plans Frozen Egg Plant Negotiations have been completed to establish a huge frozen egg industry in Salt Lake, .providing outlet for upwards of 2,000,000 pounds of Utah eggs annually, it is reported by officials. A portion of the poultry associations plant in Salt Lake will be equipped with the necessary machinery immediately so that operations can begin soon after January 1, 1932. About 25 people will be afforded permanent employment. The new industry will make Salt Lake the frozen-eg- g distributing center for the northwest and intermour-tai- n to th territories, according plans which also call for the exclusiv n use of eggs produced in Utah. containers and other material, used in packing the frozen eggs will be purchased here, giving the state the entire advantage of the new industry. The negotiations were between the Utah Poultry association, represented by Mr. Edmonds, and Kalin Brothers & Co., of Los Angeles, packers and distributors of frozen eggs. Under the agreement reached, eggs will be broken and frozen in Salt Lake and then distributed throughout this territory rather than shipping them as whole eggs to Califnrrra to pack (Continued on last page) Tin-ca- |
