Also on the general beautifica tion committee are representatives for all civic and fraternal groups in the town. It was decided at the meeting to ask each committee member to urge his group to aid the clean-up drive, and stress the slogan "Clean up, Paint up, Plant up and Fix up." Forestry Board Urges Cleaning Up Farms Between now and May 31 is the time to clean up around farm buildings, to clean the irrigation ditches, and to burn other unwanted un-wanted winter accumulations, according ac-cording to the Utah Board of Forestry For-estry and Fire Control. The danger dan-ger of fires getting out of control at this time ofyear is much less than during summer months. However, How-ever, even during the spring, many accidents result from the carelesf use of fire. Unattended fires lighted to bun dead grass and weeds along ditc banks and in farm yards each year get away to burn improvements, improve-ments, which are costly to replace. Always stay with a fire until it is out, states J. Whitney Floyd, chief forester-fire warden for Utah. L'tlle breezes like to sneak up to invite lazy sparks to become ambitious flames, and they in turn can destroy fences, farm buildings and, occasionally, a home. |
