Approved Tag Necessary For Christmas Tree Don't cut that Christmas three until you have secured an approv-ed tag; don't buy it if it isn't tag-ged. This is the advice of local Forest Ranger Ken Bower. Under State law posession of an untagged Christmas tree will sub-ject the possessor to prosecution for a misdemeanor. The law is for your protection to insure against indiscriminate cutting of trees vit-ally needed for watershed cover. Tags can be secured at the loc-al forest office free of charge for trees for personal use; no tags will be issued for trees intended for resale. At the time the tag is is-sued applicants will be advised of the areas from which trees can be cut, type of trees which can be removed without damage to other forest values and other in-formation vital to sound conserva-tion practices. Your cooperation in this program is important. Houses Grow To Keep Pace With Families A lot of families who have been buying houses with "expansion" attics are finally getting around to expanding them. And even though a great many houses never did have unfinished sections meant to be converted into additional liv-- I ing space, their owners are now finding ways to add on an extra room or two. That information comes largely from building material dealers, some of whom say that remodel-ing and maintenance sales make up 90 percent of their current business. Federal Housing Au-thority records indicate that more money than ever before is being spent for property improvement. Making New Match Old The word not "expansion" applies only to the attics of many-post-wa-houses. It's also an ap-propriate word for what's hap-pening to young families that are rapidly outgrowing the small homes they bought. Two favorite ways of expand-ing a house for an expanding family are to make full use of attic space or to build an addi-tional wing, which might consist of one room or half a dozen. Where exterior work is necessary, one of the main considerations is making the new part match the old. but this problem usually can be solved by careful selection of two princi-pal exterior materials paint and asphalt roof shingles. Use Same Color Shingles Modern methods of color-mi- x-ine take naint-matchi- out of the guesswork stage, but buying new roofing to match roofing al-- ., ready in use is not so easy. How-- J 'ever, asphalt roofing's great va' riety of solid and" blended colors makes it practical to blend new asphalt shingles harmoniously with old, even if an exact match is not possible. Asphalt shingles are easy to apply on irregular roof shapes that result when a new section is added to a building. If the roofing on an old building is so badly worn that it would have to be replaced soon anyway, uniformity of appearance can be achieved by the old roof with the same color shingles that are chosen for the new sec-tion. In work of this kind, asphalt shingles, which are the most wide-ly used reroofing material, can be laid directly on top of most old roofs for a less expensive job. Many people who bought ls also are be-ginning to build garages, breeze-way- s, porches or covered ter-races, and other additions. The original house has been likened to a seed potato that's starting to grow to maturity. Early Deseref Settler Dies At Ogden Home Charles Henry Black, 80, one of the earliest settlers in Deseret, died Tuesday, Nov. 27, in an Og-den hospital following a short 111 ness.

In 1902 they moved to Idaho where he engaged in farming and stock raising. He pioneered in the Snake River, Lost River and Twin Falls Valleys. 15 years ago they moved to Ogden where they had since resided.

Operating with simple standard gauges and thermometers provid-ed by the Weather Bureau, the cooperative weather observer, re-gardless of the severity of the weather which he is to record each day makes his readings and re-cords them on a special form wh-ich he mailed to Weather Bureau Section offices once a month.

As of Dec-ember 31, 1950, there were 19 observers who had served in Utah for 50 years or more. In Millard county the observers are Wells P. Starley, Fillmore, F. S. Hatch, Scipio, W. I.

Supply of Veneers, Hardwood Plywood Adequate for Need The hardwood veneer and ply-wood industry is ready to meet all demands for military and civilian needs, according to Joseph F. Mertes, newly elected president of the Veneer Association, nation-al organization of hardwood ve-neer manufacturers. "Hardwood veneers and plywood are not under government alloca-tion and the industry is in an ex-cellent condition to fill the re-quirements of home construction and remodeling," Mr. Mertes said. "The use of hardwood plywood will relieve some of the pressure on the stocks of critical materials used in home building. "Although the demands on the; industry are greater than ever to meet the public's preference for: quality furniture at the lowest; possible cost, we pledge our full cooperation in fulfilling defense mobilization requirements for hardwood plywoods and veneers."; Delta Art Club Dinner Party Delta Art Club members enter-tained their husbands at the an-nual Thanksgiving party Thursday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Callister.
