It was designated a primitive area in 1968 by the Secretary of the Interior. Of particutoir concern' are dangers from flash floods in the canyon, according to Robert D. Nielson, BLM state dir ectar for Utoaih. Flash, floods may be caused by thunderstorms in the headwaters of Paria River or anywhere along ilts course. Flash floods are most common in July and Auuguist but may occur anytime, BLM officials caution. Most ideal time to make the trip is in April, May. June, October or November. Immediately before beginning the trip hikers should check wefalther conditions and1 forecasts with the BLM office in Kanalb, Bryce Canyon airport, or the Page,. Arizona office of Nlattanial Park Service. Then the hike should) be made from north to south so bikers go through the dangerous "narrows" the first day while latest weather inf anmationi is still current. There are no safe ciaimping sites in- and no side exits from the "marrows". miles Hiking through the of canyon is. an arduous trip and should be undertaken only by experienced) backpackers in good' physical condition. Four to six days should be allowed for the trip. BLM officials also suggest that there be- at least three persons in each hiking group; that they carry water and water purification tablets; and the hikers be alert to such dangers as quicksand. The saime cautions are given for Buckskin Guldh, a highly scenic sidle canyon west from the Paria near the state border. In addition, ropes need to be r?rried to safely traverse some areas of Buckskin Gulch.

BENNETT to effective monitoring of both the necessity and quality of health services provided under Medicare would enlist the efforts of medical professionals themselves. However, if this trust were violated or ineffect ive in any given region, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare would have full authority to make other ar rangements to see that the necessary review was being carried out." Senator Bennett's comments came in a speech (Friday mor ning) before the American Association of Medical Society Executives. Sen. Bennett, whose Finance Coimnifilfitee has responsibility for health legislation, held1 out the spectre of a $240 billion deficit in the Medicare and Medicaid (programs during the next 25 years in the absence of cost curbs. d THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND AS HEARD BY HEARD K SMALL BUSINESS The Taxpayer Pays and Pays It is not generally known, Congress have watched but there is a thing called the national organizations fellow-traveler- .
