The bags must not contain vegetation, ashes or rocks and must only be .gathered from the city streets between property lines. Private junk collections are prohibited, even though they are on the city y Organized groups are encouraged and included. We should all be mindful of this disgraceful habit of littering. Just because our town is in the midst of construction of the new irrigation system and the sewer system is no reason for. added sloppiness.

Park project To the Residents of Manti: We. the Park and Recreation Committee, would like to take this opportunity to inform Manti City residents of the future improvements that will be coming this summer. Manti City Park will soon be getting a new boiler for the swimming pool, along with some improvements in the dressing . rooms. Also in the plan will be the upgrading and enlargement of the playground area and the installation . of some new play equipment for the enjoyment of the children of Manti. And last but not least, the ball diamond will be getting a face-lifThis will include cutting the grass from the baseline, general grooming of the area around the diamond, bleachers for the portable dug-outvisitors to sit on and sand to fill the baseline so that the children can have a safe, more professional diamond to play on. of Kim Anderson, the committee, has donated a lot of time and effort to see that this diamond is up to grade. He has arranged with Dick Jensen to have sand brought in to fill the baseline, and this too was graciously donated by Mr. Jensen. Mr; Anderson wants to see the youth of Manti have a professional diamond to play'on and we as a committee agree. But we need your help and support. In years past, the park and ball diamond have been abused and vandalized. Boys and girls have ridden their bikes, snowmobiles and motorcycles through the park damaging sprinkler heads, scattering the sand placed on the ball diamond and ruining plants and shrubs. This year signs will . be placed prohibiting this sort of thing,, but we need the local residents to please inform their children, of this problem. And if you see such activity going on in the park we encourage you to let the public know so proper action can be taken. Remember, many of these things are donated efforts on the part of many people and if they keep getting ruihed and misused, there may come a time when we won't have a nice park to ' play or meet in. Thank you. Park and Recreation Committee Diane Keeler, chairman -- Stay out of canyons by Ben Black District Ranger The Sanpete Ranger District, Manti-LaSa- l National Forest, is very concerned about the many problems that are possible this spring due to the abnormally high moisture year and the late spring. We are aware of a considerable number of landslides and ' road washouts in lower elevations of the District. We recently experienced a situation in Twelve-Mil- e Canyon where a size landslide of considerable slid into of Fork the South apparently Twelve-Mil- e Creek, damming it and building a water impoundment of unknown size above it. On May 22, the lake apparently overtopped the landslide and rapidly washed it out. This rapid release of water caused serious damage to the stream Course, bridges and campground facilties below. - All roads on the Sanpete Ranger District are still closed by snow in higher elevations and most are closed in lower elevations by land flows or road failures. Due to the combined hazards of high water, rolling rocks, earth flows, and road washouts, we would advise people to stay out of the canyons for 3 weeks while the soil has a chance to dry and get firm. 2-- t i f' byPatMellor Farm power line owners would prefer to continue to own their own power lines with the understanding that the lines will be brought up to standards of safety as early as possible, Dave Cox told the Manti City Council Wednesday night. Mr. Cox appeared at the Manti City Council meeting as a representative of the farmers who own power lines running from Manti City to farms outside town. In the past, the owners have been required to maintain the lines individually. The city noted over a year ago that many of the lines were in such a state of disrepair that they constituted a by Bruce Jennings Sanpete County deer hunters next fall are likely to find it more difficult to bag their game than in past years. Thats the forecast of Division of Wildlife Resource officers Brad Bradley, in charge of the South Sanpete District, and Harold Blackburn, in charge of the North Sanpete District. They base this forecast on this winters heavy loss, particularly of fawns, as revealed in spring range rides. The long, harsh winter, road kills and special hunts have combined to reduce the deer population, they say. Mr. Bradley said the range ride in the foothills between Ephraim and Manti showed 128 dead deer, mostly fawns, but including some big docs. The loss of the faw ns means there w ill be fewer bucks to take this fall, he said. This winter deer range was in poor condition." Mr. Bradley said, "and a lot of deer starved to death." . . . by Max E. Call is to tion," Mrs. Williams said, acquaint our members with innovations in nursing practices at meetings and workshops, promote legislation that will benefit health care and provide services to our members and to the public. Mrs. Williams graduated from the LDS Hospital School of Nursing, did industrial nursing at the Utah Ordinance Depot during World War II and has nursed at the LDS Hospital, the Sanpete Valley Hospital and the Gunnison Valley Hospital.

So Im slowing down from now Kim dangerous hazard to those in their vicinity as well as a source of inefficient power use. The city sent the farmers a letter last month asking them to present suggestions to the council for means of rectifying the situation. "The worst should be repaired first," Mr. Cox said when queried about a timetable for repairs, and priorities. Councilman Morlin Cox said he felt the city should definitely be consulted in the engineering of the Mr. Cox told the council that the farm line upgrades. farmer owners would immediately Councilman Jay Guff observed . take action to remove trees and limbs that he was satisfied with the lines of from the wires, upgrade crossarms, communication which had been and tighten the wires.

He said the loss between Manti Canyon and Twelve Mile Canyon was moderate because the range was in better condition. Mr. Blackburn said that in a single days ride near Fountain Green hed encountered 83 dead deer, mainly fawns. Last fall, he said, the deer have moved straight from the summer range, high in the mountains, down to the much lower winter range, becauscof the sudden heavy storms," bypassing the intermediate range. As a consequence the winter range was soon depleted. The DWR plans to chain some d and private lands in Sanpete County this year in an effort to increase the carrying capacity of the winter deer range. Mr. Bradley said. DWR has recommended Oct. 22 as the opening date of the regular deer hunt.

Utah deer hunters harvested 75,094 bucks for a 34 percent success ratio last fall. That number was down around 5,000 from 1981. The hunters in Sanpete County, however, were more successful than the state average. In the Ephraim area they took 612 bucks for a 38 percent success ratio. They also took T8 docs in the special hunt. In the Fairvicw-Mt- . Pleasant area 985 bucks were taken, with 34 "Im a better stitcher than he joked.

Congratulations to this year's MHS graduating class. This week we have all their pictures in the paper. For a few of them, having their picture in the paper is nothing new. But for most, it's a first time they have had this distinction. Thats why we feel that each graduation time we should publish everyones picture. We couldn't do this on our own, but with the generous support from a number of Templar Boosters, we can do it. We are grateful to those sponsors who make it possible to do this.
