A tape prepared by Mr. Hansen Store owners warned of gypsy swindle byPatMellor - The Comsan dispatch center has received word to warn local shopowners of a swindle currently being perpetrated on stores in the intermountain area. The operation apparently engineered by a group of gypsies was described in a lengthy teletype relayed from Boise, Idaho, which said that on April 25, around noon, a group of about 10 gypsies entered a store and 'began causing confusion by confronting various clerks with questions. Part of the group went to the store office asking questions about how to use the candy machine downstairs. The manager went downstairs to assist them, and while he was out of the office, part of the group entered the office and removed $37,000 from the safe. The money was in bags marked1 Interstate Bank." Female gypsies seemed to be the ones taking active part in the theft," according to the report. ?st The women were dark complexioned and their ages were estimated to be from 30 to 50 years. One suspect was about 1 8 or 20. One of the women was described as about 35 years of age, possibly pregnant, with stitches in her left eyebrow. The women were in vehicles described as a new, large, bright red four-doChevy with a CB antenna on the trunk; and an older, gold, beat up vehicle. All the vehicles had license plates with blue numbers on a white background. Numerous operations of this type have plagued stores in Utah in the past. Stores in Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Colorado and Nevada have been asked to report any similar occurrences in order to establish a pattern of travel leading to the apprehension of this group. Anyone spotting suspicious persons .or vehicles answering the description of these subjects is asked to notify the nearest sheriffs office or highway patrol unit. spoke the words and the students wrote them on a sheet of paper. They then checked their spelling for correctness and recorded their scores. The tape plays back the words at a consistent speed 80 letters a minute because national research has shown that retention is best at speeds that do not give the children time to think". In other words, Mr. Hansen said, spelling is a skill that needs to be automatic: a student who has to think out the spelling of a word is likely to become confused and make a mistake. The 220 basic spelling words comprise about 50 percent of the most used words in the English vocabulary. Mr. Sanpete County.

But many growers will still have a good supply of the major canning fruits and we expect to market an excellent quality crop again this year," the Utah county grower said. Ferguson said winterkill earlier in the year actually did much of the damage to peaches. Even so, we do expect to have some peaches from part of the state to sell this fall," he added. The Farm Bureau leader said that Utah has actually increased its pro duction of many fruit crops in recent years, particularly canning cherries and some apple varieties, He said it was just too early to make any accurate assessment of the losses growers will face as a result of the recent freeze damage, "That kind of a figure will only be available at the end of the season. Clearly, however, fruit production Is an important part of Utah's economy and fruit growers are improving the quality of fruit every year," the farmer said.

He said he had concluded, after talking to growers and extension service specialists, that the damage in some areas of the state may not be quite as bad as some reports indicated earlier in the week, although a number of growers suffered disastrous losses. , v 12-1- Ina Squire wraps gift for daughter's graduation from BYU. hard, as were many low lying peach and sweet i !S X "Apricots were hit 35 i j.
