SA County's VeedKilUngFrogram Shows Steady Growth in Scope Weber county’s noxious weed eradication progrm has shown a " remarkably steady increase in scope during the past few years said Ar-thur P Brown county commission- er in charge Especially has an increase been - noted in the spraying of noxious weeds in growing crops said Commissioner Brown “Apparently farmers have overcome a former fear that weed spray would harm their crops if applied while in growth” he said Local Flays One 'Surprise' On Theatre Bill The Ogden Community-Webe- r college theatre will present three local plays and one

CHILDREN More and more property owners are signing up for weed eradication work on their land each year Miss Lois Holmes secretary in the weed said she has department - office mailed out some 400 individual spray bills already this year Opens in April The spraying season opens in April and does not close until The 400 bills represen an estimated $10000 Before the weed program ends this year it is expected receipts will reach about $15000 Of course this return does not bear all the cost of weed eradication work in the county each yearhave sprayProperty owners who ng or cultivating done pay only for the actual cost of the spray or the actual operating cost of cultivating equipment Each year the county commission allocates some $30000 for weed eradication work It is always used So the county’sa weed program is actually about proposition between the county and the individual owner explained Commissioner Brown As a contrast for the entire 50-5- 0 spraying season last year records showed 370 separate pieces of property being treated There are already 400 this year with three months yet to go The increase in the spraying work accomplished by the county is also reflected in new equipment which it is necessary to purchase ' each year The equipment has allowed the county crews to not only spray more properties per season but to accomplish the work at a much faster pace said Commissioner Brown Ten Years Ago Ten years ago Commissioner Brown said weed records did not the work begin to compare with now being accomplished Commissaid “This of course” sioner Brown” is a direct result of a realization of the property owner of the importance and value of fighting noxious weeds Not or for one just for oneon-season long-tim- e a probut spray gram that will ultimately mean an almost 100 per cent kill” This year county officials have posurged property owners where own sible to cultivate their ground to kill weeds beThey feel spraying has now and come a big enough

across the roof of the world The tourists were two local mailmen and their wives Mr and Mrs William C Brown and Mr and Mrs Ernest Hampton “Our trip was a glorious scenic adventure” the four declared “After visiting ' Craters of the Moon Sun Valley Glacier National park Banff Waterton park Lake Louise the Columbia ice fields and Jasper National park we took off from Edmonton Canada” The tourists inserted a word of caution Anyone making a trip of the Alcan highway should start out well stocked with either food or money Gas — 6$ Cents Gallon The group paid as high as 68 cents a gallon for gasoline Lettuce sold at Fairbanks ftyr 79 cents a pound and they paid $135 for a dozen eggs and up to 40 cents for a loaf of bread Prices of hardware and most foods however were about the same as at home they said They also pointed out prices in Alaska were cheaper than these along the highway where everything was shipped by' truck four-coursmeals in Anchorage were about $2 very reasonable they said Breakfasts also ranged from around 50 cents on up The said “From EdmonAnother piece of equipment goes into place in the new engineer base ton to group Dawson Creek British Coshops at the Utah

mile 1049 we came to Klu-an- e lake one of the most beautiful and largest in the Yukon with trout weighing up to 50 pounds The only bad feature was a wind storm sweeping from a mountain glacier which stirred up dust which covered the river bridge the road and a large part of the lake end ‘‘Next on the trail we came to one of the famous hunting areas We sighted bears coyotes moose deer and rabbits by the' score A highly colored red fox stood in the road directly in front of our car All the Way “We passed the U S customs office at TOK junction and continued on towards Fairbanks We soon were greeted "with a sign stating the next 40 miles were under construction And it was rock bottom all the way with 15 miles an hour being the safe speed” The four said defense preparations were noticeable all through Canada Yukon and Alaska They said they sighted many air bases The travelers reported “We entered Fairbanks the morning after the Pioneer hotel fire disaster in which several lives were lost There also was a cloudburst about an hour after the fire leaving the city a mud hole with no drinking water “The only accommodations we could find was an unfinished unfurnished cabin at $5 per day We furnished it with our camping equipment “The town has a population of abdut 9000 It is called ‘The Golden Heirt of Alaska and is situated on the Chena river The beautiful University of Alaska is located here “Down the Richardson highway to Anchorage was a tough road to travel It is 162 miles from where it joins the Alcan highway to the junction with the Glen highway and 90 miles of this distance was under construction However the beauty of the vast glaciers mountains and rivers more than compensated for the jouncing we suffered Entire Route Beautiful “the entire route is beautiful Lakes are numerous and lovely mountain streams come tumbling over great falls While we were in Alaska the sun was up 18 hours a day and it was always light “At Copper Center on the Copper river we fished with the In dians and caught a large red king salmon “After leaving Copper Center we rode over a hard surfaced sec tion of the highway for about 187 miles before reaching Anchorage What a treat We drove through the1 Matanuska valley where we saw large dairy herds livestock poultry and wonderful garden and grain crops “We also passed near the Ma tanuska glacier a striking sight “Anchorage is the business center of the area It has a population of about 40000 and is still growing “It has several air bases radio stations two large hospitals a beautiful post office building banks hotels
