A few minutes later Mrs. Sedgwick looking for her offspring noticed the hose disappearing into the ground and called Keiths mothers attention to it. While they hung on to the vanishing object they sent the youngsters to find Keiths dad, Eugene Van I)e Graaff who came armed with a shovel. equip- ment from Layton, Hill Air Force Base and Davis County fire departments became of no use when the fire raced east up the While he shoveled the ladies lugged and after digging for about five feet the trio were able to pull the hose from the ground. So there are at least three persons in Clearfield who are no longer skeptical about stories of disappearing plastic hoses, and less skeptical about other news stories that may sound a little out of the ordinary, said Mrs. Sedgwick. Assisting with the operations besides the fire departments were fifty airmen from Hill Air Force Base, a crew from the U. S. Forest Services, members of the Bountiful Jeep Posse and men and equipment from the Utah State Road Commission. Highway pat- rolmen stood by to give radio assistance and the South Davis Firemens ambulance was ready for any injuries which might occur. Overnight Lookout A crew of U. S. Forestry men were kept on guard throughout the night to check any further outbreak. William J. Hart, deputy of the State Board of Forest and Fire Control, was in charge of the fire fighting operations, assisted by Darryl Pack, chief of the countys fire fighting unit. Among those busy at the scene with pick and shovel was Clyde B. Adams, Davis County Commissioner. Another group of volunteers were under the direction of the Davis County Sheriff. The fire caused considerable damage to the watershed by damaging the low brush. Nearly 11,wm boys and girls were enrolled in Clubs in Utah last year, according to Utah State Agricultural College extension leaders. The Beehive State com0100 pleted projects. There were clubs 1,038 involving 2,801 boys and 8,132 girls, or a total of 10,033 youths. l-- II |
