Show Roadway Signs To Aid, Keep Utah Green Project Sign crews will commence -a 3,000 mile jaunt over Utah highways high-ways on June 1 to paint some 80 "Keep Utah Green" fire prevention pre-vention in the public's eye. "Some of the most effective signs made are those placed directly di-rectly on the road surface," said E. J. Fieldsted, chairman of the Keep Utah Green Committee. He indicated that the State JRoad Commission has given approval to the project and has cooperated cooper-ated in selecting the most effective effec-tive locations for the signs. Even though the fire -weather has made conditions serious in some sections of the state prior to June 1, almost every area will pose serious wildland fire problems after that time extending ex-tending until general fall precipitation pre-cipitation occurs. Unless there is some kind of break in the weather pattern, Utah faces one of its most severe fire seasons and every agency is marshalling marshal-ling its entire force to keep fire loss on the vital forests and mountain watersheds to a minimum. The Keep Green movement is a citizen's program designed by business and civic organizations to' concentrate public spirit and cooperation in an effort to prevent pre-vent man-caused fires. As pointed point-ed out this week by Governor Lee, it is to everybody's economic eco-nomic benefit to be careful with wild fire, Mr. Fjeldsted backed up the Governor by quoting an old addage: "An ounce of prevention pre-vention is worth a pound of cure." "I am confident that with Chamber of Commerce. J. C. C, other civic clubs and business joining together we can do an effective job of Keeping Utah Green to Keep Utah Growing," said Fjeldsted. |
