The Utah Senator charged that the lack of concern about Western water projects was highlighted this week when President Kennedy promised pro-mised to assist Ghana in construction construc-tion of a $168 million hyro-electrie dam.

Dedication of the grave at Fillmore Fill-more was by Stanley Robins, a brother. Bishop Jensen gave a short his-ory his-ory of Mr. Robin's life telling of the places he had taught school and his work in the church. He was graduated from Snow Academy, enlisted en-listed in the U.S. Army in 1918 and started his teaching career in the Hinckley Elementary. He taught for 43 years, and during that time taught three generations parents and grandparents of some of his students. He received a BS degree from BYU in 1940, was principal of Delta Elementary, principal of Hinckley High School, then moved back to Delta where he taught in the Delta Jr. High. He retired from teaching school in Utah in 1957 and he and his wife, Florence, moved to Tempe, Ariz., to live near their son, Dr. Roland Ro-land K. Robins, a professor of Chemistry at the Arizona State University. Uni-versity. Mr. Robins taught school in South Phoenix for two and a half years and retired in January of 1960 because of ill health. Heheld many positions in the LDS Church: He was president of the Deacon's Quorum in Scipio, ward choir leader in Scipio and Hinckley. He was Stake MIA activity acti-vity director in Millard Stake, Stake Sunday School director, Stake MIA director and Stake Mel-chizedek Mel-chizedek Priesthood instructor in Yater Users Take 15 Shrinkage Dut to Shortage Water users were notified recently recent-ly that as of June 26, water credit balances would be shrunk 15. The Boards of the four water companies, com-panies, Delta Canal, Melville Irrigation, Irri-gation, Abraham Irrigation and Deseret Irrigation, found this action ac-tion necessary because sufficient water had not accrued to satisfy existing water credits on the books. Because of the extremely hot and dry weather, losses were found to be far more excessive than was originally anticipated. A careful check of the records show that the primary flow is 30 which is considerably below any primary flow experienced since 1934. Another check revealed that reservoir losses this year exceeded any previous year since 1934 by 30. In view of these findings, it will be of the utmost importance that water users cooperate to the fullest to enable the wisest use of all a-vailable a-vailable water. Water users are urged to take water in turn from their neighbors while the water is in the proper lateral. Such practice cannot be stressed too much. Deviation Devi-ation from this could result in a great loss of water. DYCIE LAW.

PROGRAM The pioneer program will be un- UP&L Speaks to Clarify Private and Public Ownership A recent Utah Power & Light Co. advertisement should help clarify some false notions about public and private ownership. The utility's ad pointed out that 18,039 shareholders from all walks of life own that company. Ninety per cent of them are individuals. Half of these individuals (49 per cent to be exact) live in the state the company serves, and 41 per cent of the total shareholders live in Utah. In a word, private ownership of property or industry is true public ownership because it means owner ship by individuals. The ad also explained that any one may become a shareholder by buying shares in the company on an open market. And, it said, if you don't own a stock certificate, chances are that you have an interest in-terest in investor-owned companies because of stock owned by insurance insur-ance companies and pension funds which invest in utility securities. Now, what's so public about public power? Electricity from federal power systems goes to relatively few "preference" customers at subsidized subsi-dized rates often below cost of production pro-duction with losses paid for by taxpayers. And customers of federal systems pay little or no taxes on electricity to help support federal. state or local governments. By contrast, tax payments of Utah Power & Light Co. in 10 a-mounted a-mounted to 20.6 cents of each dollar dol-lar of revenue. Utah received over S3 million in tax from that utility last year for support of schools and local government. It is hard to see how anyone can fail to be aware that private own ership is foundation of free enter prise and has brought incalculable benefits t j the nation. tor der the direction of the MIA officers offic-ers with Leonard Palmer, Supt., and Enid Damron, Pres., in charge. Bryarii Petersen will be the guest speaker with special musical numbers, num-bers, a talk by Miss Ekins as Miss Utah, and special honors and tributes tri-butes to the pioneers and decend- ants of pioneers.

PARADE The parade which is always a big attraction for the entire family fam-ily will move from the north down main street at 9:30 a.m., according accord-ing to Kenneth Mecham, chairman.
