Show the salt lake times FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1971 Conservtaion Efforts Educational to 4-Group H Conservation of natural resources is like God and motherhood. We all believe in it but many of us take it for granted. But there is a growing group of people, both young and old, who have quit saying Let George do it, and are doing something about the problem themselves. , These are the people active in conservation of natural the resources program who have banded together to work on a county wide basis. The system usually works like this. These various local groups in the county meet and decide a program in conservation is necessary in their communities. The junior leaders and their advisors contact other groups and invite them to aid in the conservation program. In nearly all cases the Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, community and civic groups all willingly join in the program. The young people contact various community officials, clear the way for specific programs, alert their respective communities as to what they are trying td do and then do it. The program is on a long term basis. The second start weekend is planned for April where a major beautification and conservation effort will be implemented with all the groups participating. Civic groups in the county participated including American Legion, city council, bird clubs, Kiwanis Clubs and Park, Police and Soil Conservation and Game and Fish Departments. John McClave, county Club agent, Boulder County, said, Plans are being made to continue and strengthen existing program areas in conservation. The Community Pride Program was particularly successful in the county in 1970. It is felt that this program can be aided Council in in the county 1971. To do this it may be necessary to appoint a committee of junior leaders to work with local clubs in developing successful local programs. This may be done by sponsoring a contest on a countywide basis to communicate to the public suggested pollution control programs. All clubs and members could become directly involved in communicating this problem to the public. In LaSalle County, Illinois, clubs have joined together in a program called Outdoors in LaSalle. The program was designed as an educational de 4-- H 4-- H lo-h- al 4-- H 4-- H 4-- H vice to teach youngsters to appreciate their surroundings; to recognize natural resources; to learn about the interdependence of natural resources; the values of trees and birds and mans dependence upon them; to recognize the scope, problems, benefits of conservation; to learn how to use them; to recognize the benefits of scope, problems, conservation; to learn how to use resources without abusing them; to learn how pollution affects our lives; to learn about career opportunities or hobbies in conservation, and to witness firsthand good and bad conservation practices. John Deere is sponsor of the conservation of natural resources program and provides a $50 cash award for one county in each state reporting the most outstanding conservation program. The company also provides additional support including an expense paid trip to the National Congress in Chicago for state winners and six educational scholarships of $700 each to national winners.

River Dry-U- p Prompts Fish Salvage of a section of the lowDry-uer Provo River recently put salp vage crews to work transplanting fish. Summer dewatering of several miles of lower Provo River marked the end of surplus waters from spring runoff. Normal irrigation needs annually divert Provo River waters at a point below the mouth of Provo Canyon practically drying the river to Utah Lake. To men of the Division of Wildlife Resources, river dry-u- p is the signal to begin operations of salvaging fish from lingering Electro-shockin- g pools in the river bed. equipment makes possible capture of most marooned fish which are moved to stable waters in tank trucks. Fish removed from the dewatered section of the river are actually not at home in that portion of the stream. Some brown trout and whitefish are washed down from upstream areas by high spring runoff. Walleyes and catfish come up from Utah Lake. No hatchery trout are stocked in that section of the Provo River. of the end of the ProDry-up- s vo River were also occurring 65 years ago according to Fish and Game Commissioner John Sharp in his 1906 report to the Governor.

Tristan da Cunha Not Where it Should Be The little island of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic is a mile away from where maps and nautical charts say it should be. Columbia University oceanog- raphers discovered the error by means of the Navys earth satellite navigation system, whereby a special receiver computer on ship can plot a point on the open ocean to within 500 feet. This surprising discrepancy is important because shoals close to Tristan and nearby islands can be serious navigational hazards, the report reads. The error in mapping Tristan could have been caused by inaccurate sextant measurements. Other islands might be similarly FEEDING BABY for two weeks in August. er, University of Utah - Union Building Phone: - Near Huddle 582-244- 9 HOURS: 8 p.m. Monday thru Friday 10 a.m.-- 6 p.m. Saturday a.m.-- S 3Vzc xerox Copies genealogy specialists SHRINKING XEROX 7000 fvfrybODY h. sub-contract- WELCOME!

Arrests are being made for unlawful possession of live protected wildlife according to a recent announcement by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The Division cautions Utahns to leave protected wildlife in their natural home. According to Utah law it is unlawful for any person to hold in captivity at any time any protected wildlife except as specified by the Wildlife Resources Code. Young creatures of the wilds may appear lost, hungry and forlorn, but they have not been abandoned as people so often think. Their parents, naturally reluctant to show themselves to humans, often stand helplessly nearby as their youngsters are carried away by thoughtless people who find them cute and cuddly. & PRESENT tion of the American Academy of Pediatrics pointed out that the age of greatest iron need and highest prevalence of iron deficiency is from 6 to 18 months of age.
