Parents should teach children how to quickly reach emergency services like the police department, fire department or doctor but at the same time teach them the seriousness of playing with the phone. Responsible parents teaching their children responsibility can make these new telephone services quick and helpful aids to citizens and Mr. emergency departments alike, Moyes commented, dmg Love Of Birds Influences Paintings But so far, she hasnt painted bullsnakes like she played with as a child. By WANDA LUND Special Writer So far, Lu York hasnt tried LAYTON painting any of the bullsnakes that she used to play with as a girl in Kansas. But the love of birds she developed as a child and which has continued throughout her life has a definite influence on her paintings. AN ARTIST as long as she can remember, she has painted seriously in oils for the past ten years. One of her paintings, Springtime Cleaning, depicts a Great Spotted Woodpecker cleaning out a nesting space in a hollow tree. It won a first place ribbon in the senior citizens category at the Layton Riata Days art show last year. Mrs. York has also received numerous other awards for her paintings. SHE WILL be sharing some of her techniques in classes at her home, beginning in September. Her husband, Don, shares her love of animals. The two have a bevy of pets: old dog of undetermined Snoopy, a ten-yeparentage, rescued as a puppy by the Yorks while she was en route to the dog pound; Mitzi, a sleek and beautiful black cat who found her way to the apartment of Mrs. Yorks son, Vera, while he was a student at USU in Logan, and a dozen Bantam chickens, who pick bugs from the York garden and provide miniature eggs as an extra bonus. MITZI AND another cat owned by the Yorks, Brindy, now in cat heaven, used to chase gophers when the Yorks first moved to their present home. They must have killed a couple of hundred, Mrs. York said. WHEN ANY of their chickens are ailing, they are taken indoors for care. Mrs. York gave one little Bantam hen to a neighbor boy, Gerald Evans, when other chickens rejected her after she had lived indoors for a few days. The boy used to take the hen with him Mrs. York recalled, on his bicycle, It was quite a sight. laughing. YEARS AGO, the Yorks decided to raise some fyers. I would never do that again! she exclaimed. I didnt know which of our little friends we were eating. SOME OF her more unusual pets while she was still a child in Kansas were a baby badger and a runt pig. Badge was the best pet my dad ever bebrought home, she said. We got him fore his eyes were open, and I carried him on my shoulder. My mother used to make her own soap, and she had left some of them outdoors to dry. Some of them disappeared, and she said to the badger one day, Badge, where is my soap? THAT LITTLE badger disappeared and came back with a bar of soap in his mouth, Mrs. York said. He was the cleanest little animal. We kept him until he was mature and then gave him to a neighbor. Badge found his way over to another neighbors house, and the woman there didnt know he was tame. When she found him in her kitchen, cleaning up some crumbs on her floor, she shot and killed him. As a girl, Mrs. York and Nonny the runt pig that she raised to sowhood, used to sit under an apple tree together. She would mungive the pig an ear of com while she ched an apple. New Utah Guide Published By TOM BUSSELBERG Do you want to take a last summer trip close to home but dont know where to turn for help? IS ONE of the kids taking a Utah history course this year and in need of resource material? Those and other needs can be met, at least partially, through the new volume, Utah: A guide to the State, an 800 page book that features 300 photographs, many maps and more than to the states tourist areas. half-devot- THAT MEANS if you want to take a trip up to Bear Lake, there is a section that not only lists the cities and services available, but takes it step by step, describing roads, cou- ar ntryside, history and the whole bit. Available from the Utah Arts Council as well as book stores throughout the area, its available in hard cover as well as the tour portion alone in soft cover. IF SUCH a guide sounds vaguely familiar from years past, its because the new volume is a companion update to the old 1940 book prepared as part of the old Work Projects Administration American Guide Series. Its compiled by Ward J. Roylance, who has written about 40 booklets and materials about the state, having served for many years on what today is the Utah Travel Council. Lu York demonstrates some of the oil paintings she has made over the last ten years. never wallowed in the mud NONNY with the others of the litter, but was kept cool by frequent dousings with buckets of water. I always played with bullsnakes when I was young, Mrs. York recalled. If you tease them, they can nick you pretty good, but they are not poisonous. I used to tell my dad about every rattlesnake I killed. He asked me where the rattles were, so I started keeping them. I collected 21 sets of rattles on a string. CARRIED a 22 rifle from the time I was nine years old to shoot the rabbits that ate our crops, but I killed the rattlesnakes with a stick. At one time, I had 13 ducks, she remembered. In Kansas, we had our water supplied by a windmill that pumped it up, and we had two big room-siz- e storage tanks, plus a water barrel for our culinary use. I THE DUCKS were messy, and Dad told me not to put them in those tanks anymore. I didnt, but I did prop a board up against the tank so the ducks could find their own way up, and they were smart enough to do it. I also had a calf, Dimply, whose mother was killed in a blizzard. We had taken the calf indoors to save her life. She was one cow that didnt get butchered. Dad kept her on the farm until she died of old age. AS A child, Mrs. York had a baby prairie owl as a pet for a while, but their relationship came to an abrupt end when the little owl fell into a bucket of red paint. Another incident that had near disastrous consequences happened a few years ago in Layton, when a neighbors young bull wandered into the Yorks flower garden. Mrs. York was throwing rocks at the animal to force him out of the yard, when one of the rocks struck him almost between the eyes. THE ANIMAL collapsed, apparently dead. I felt terrible, Mrs. York recalled, but I thought I had better cut his throat, so the owner could at least save the meat. I went into the house for a butcher knife. By the time I came out, the bull was on his feet, luckily. THE YORKS have two feeders to attract birds, and they also place bird seed and chicken scratch on a picnic table on their patio. They have watched hundreds of birds as they stopped for refreshment some 26 varieties, including Oregon Junco, Luzuli Bunting, humming birds, Cedar Waxwing, Rufous Sided Towhee, Downey Woodpecker, Western Tanager and others. Many of them have nested nearby. THE MORMON habitat has always been a vortex of legend and lie, it said in the 940 volume. "Even today, as MOTHERS IN the neighborhood have taken the children on field trips to the bird refuge in Farmington and to the Layton Park to observe birds, and some of the children will be making bird feeders, Mrs. York said. cross-graine- d chapter it con- tains. "All the convention of western life in Utah went haywire, it went on. MEANWHILE, four de- cades and nearly three times as many residents later, the new volume says, The years since 1941 have witnessed dramatic transformations in Utah. In respects this period has been the most eventful in the history of the state. The states culture and economy continue to be distinctive in many ways, though they approach national norms in others, it continues. FOUR YEARS in the making, the book was compiled under the direction of A Guide to the State Foundation, a nonprofit agency set up for that purpose under the chairmanship of Dr. Edward L. Hart. Salt Lake book store owner Sam Weller originated the project with financial contribu- tions given based on area populations to finance the book. THE FIRST section covers Utah history, industry, cultural development while the second provides tours. Thirty-tw- o color photos are included in the hardback version. Further information is available from the Arts Council at 617 E. South Temple in Salt Lake City, phone Future articles will recount historical and other aspects of the area. 533-389- 5.

Motto of the group is For every bird there is a reason, and the 12 members are learning to identify and protect birds. the state settles down to gray hairs, there lingers something wonderful and outrageous about Utah, a flavor the mysterious and strange. ..Utahns set down in the book of Western History the most stubbornly Max L.
