Exits are blocked and smoke is simulated forcing the children to crawl to clear areas. The fully dressed Fire Fighters purposely create confusion to give teachers and students an idea of the panic that might arise in an actual fire. As Classes meet outside for an accounting, they are directed to an area where a fire demonstration is prepared. Real clothes hanging on a closet rod are burned to give a real eyes-o- n example of what fire can do. iU Many children think the fire is neat, others are awestruck, a few are scared, but everyone pays close attention! Workmen put down the final layer pavement last week on the downtown segment of 8400 West, and the striping should be finished this week. Its been an inconvenient summer, and area residents are pleased to have it finished. Work on the street was actually two projects, a construction project which involved new drainage and new sidewalks, and a maintenance project which laid a new layer of pavement. Actual construction began April 14 when crews blocked off the west side of 8400 West between 2700 South and the Sinclair station. Catch basins and new drainage pipe were installed from 500 south of 2700 South (by the Sinclair station) to about 100 north of the intersection. The county then took over and dug an open ditch on the west side of 8400 West to tie into another drain system along 2100 - of i if K South. To increase the safety factor for that the County Fire Department feels a strong responsibility to the children they protect. Under his direction, the department n V Students are then directed back to an assembly area inside the school where the Fire Fighters teach them the real meaning of their new experience. Next the children listen to a real burn survivor, Mrs. Deb Ryan of Salt Lake City, who tells them her experiences after she was burned over 45. of her body when she was five years old. She tells the children what it is like to run when you cant escape, and to have your body on fire. She tells them what it is like to be a burn victim every day for the rest of her life. .

On the right are pictured real quarter coins, still worth 25 cents. The use of slugs in a paper box or any kind of coin machine amounts to both theft and vandalism. Not only does it deprive the vendor of the revenue for his product, but several slugs in a coin box will jam the mechanism so later buyers will lose their quarter and not get a paper either. If you cant afford to buy a paper, please drop by the Times office on Main street near the Webster school. Wed rather have you sit and visit a spell, and read the paper free, than have you jam our coin boxes. And if you are one of those customers who were deprived of a paper when the coin box got full of slugs, please drop in and tell us which box you were trying to use. Well give you a free copy of the paper you were trying to buy. Wednesday. Friday is PTA Coke day for all Wigust and September birthdays.

Vaccinate your dog or cat against rabbies Does your dog or cat need a rabies vaccination? How about a free one?

On the east side of 8400 West, the new sidewalks extend to the south about 900, as far as Western Drive. The safety factor for motorists along that busy street was also increased, as state Department of Transportation engineers decided to close the curved section of road that previously allowed cars headed east to bypass the actual 8400 West 2700 South intersection as they turned to the south. Curbs and gutters were installed records in a few minutes. Were tired of putting beautiful pets to sleep because we cant identify them. We also highly recommend the identification collars for cats, Smith went on, Some people hesitiate to put collars on their cats, fearing the pet will catch the collar on something and choke to death.

Final inspection came in early August, and then work began on the repaving project which extended from 2100 South to 3500 South along 8400 West. According to UDOT spokesman Shirley Iverson this project was considered routine maintenance. That area gets a lot of traffic, she explained. The pavement was breaking down, and tire movement had smoothed it out so there was no skid resistance. We find that the application of a 1 thick seal coat layer covers the broken spots and provides a textured surface for auto safety. Its quicker to put down and If we keep very cost effective. putting seal coats on, it will be many years before the road has to be completely redone. The state provides the material for these projects and hauls it in state trucks. TTie site contractor does the actual work of laying the coating.
