Roll to Bandwagon Cleanup Citys Saturday Take Boy Scout and Cub Scout groups, a couple of service clubs, several businesses, a high school club, industry, the city beautification committee plus any other citizens who want to become involved and you have the kind of crowd that will kick off Brigham Citys official beautification campaign Saturday, May 2. Plans were announced this week by Chairman Anita Burt. Following on the heels of a May 1 proclamation by the city council, it promises to have broader participation than any other single undertaking of its kind in local history. Contact has been made with every Boy Scout troop and Cub Scout unit in the city to urge their involvement. Those which climb on the bandwagon will be assigned to clean up vacant lots from one end of the city to the other. Theyll also gather up litter on west Forest street from Eighth West to the sanitary landfill. Another facet of the project will be painting of the citys 64 litter cans, those familiar containers on downtown streets and in the parks. But this will be no traditional undertaking. Girl members of the National Honor society at Box Elder High school will compete in a contest to see which student can produce the best painted container. It can be psycadelic or more conventional in appearance, just so it promotes the beautification theme. Young men of the society will be assigned to a lot cleanup project. The Scouts are scheduled to meet at the city health office at 9 a.m. with trucks, tools and enthusiasm. "Any citizens who want to take park are also invited. Wed especially like those with trucks, said Mrs. Burt. And then at 10 a.m. the painting contest will get underway on the parking lot east of the health office. Of course with all of this energy being expended, it will be necessary to provide nurishment and so a hot dog feed is on tap at p.m. in the Rees park bowery. The chairman said she was delighted 1 with the response of Industry, businessmen and service clubs who are cooperating. They include: Local auto body shops, Packer Motor, Hansen Chevrolet, Andersens-For- d and Burts Body and Glass Shop, which have donated paint Manager Ben Day of Coca Cola company in Ogden which is providing enough coke, sprite and orange for 500 persons at the hotdog feed. Continental Baking company of Ogden and Manager Lyle Worthing who will furnish 42 dozen hotdog buns. Valley Brand Franks, Salt Lake City, which will donate "The most delicious franks on the market through Smiths Food King markets and owner Dee Glen Smith. The Brigham City Rotary club which has been asked to prepare and serve the hotdogs. The Brigham City Kiwanis club which is sponsoring the litter can painting contest. The club will provide gift certificates at local ladies stores to the top three winners with judging scheduled at 1 p.m. Big J Mill has agreed to provide sacks for picking up litter on the west Forest street route. We appreciate their ready willingness to help in a project which we hope will not only mean a cleaner Brigham City but generate the kind of mass participation that brings pride and continuing activity to a community, said the chairman.

Thiokol personnel have produced more than 2,000 Stage One Minuteman motors since the first one was manufactured in January program of action along with 210 other projects, according to Searle. Seeking Funds He said the recreation committee will be seeking the funds through governmental sources. A canal, approximately one mile in length will have to be built from the Willard dam outlet works on the north end of the reservoir, northwest to the refuge. Engineering studies and cost estimates recently made by the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Spo- Fisheries and Wildlife have come up with a figure of $240,000. Also an additional $2,000 would be required to secure the necessary project The canal will not interfere with any private gun clubs in the area, according to Lloyd Gunther, manager of the refuge. Gravity Helps Since the reservoir is higher tnan tne refuge, the water will flow by gravity, he said. According to Gunther, the project is extremely worthwhile would benefit everyone. I cant see a single project to do more good, said Gunther. A recent study indicated that some 20,000 acre feet of water will be available annually for at least the next ten years. Badly Needed This water is badly needed at the refuge during the summer and fall to reduce losses cause by botulism, according to Gunther. An adequate water supply is necessary in order that water levels within the refuge may be adjusted to minimize the losses caused by this disease, which affects waterfowl. Citing an example, Gunther said one of the first years he was at the refuge, three of five ponds went dry, causing a shortage of food and ducks. "The could be used to keep the units of the refuge from going dry, and then we could redistribute it into the local area, the manager said. ' Public Land Another advantage of the project Gunther added was that almost all of the construction would be on public land. A little of the building will be on private land, but arrangements have already been made, according to the refuge manager. The first discussion of the possibility of delivery of excess water from the local reservoir to the refuge took place at a meeting of the Bureau of Reclamation (Continued on Page Two) ARBOR DAY RITES This was die scene at Foothill Elementary school Friday morning as a ceremony, pro- moted by the Spade and Hope Garden club, marked Arbor Day.
