LETTERS FROM SERVOCEMEN Dear Ladies, I certainly want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to you for the kind gesture of sending the can of "Goodies" to me for Christmas. It was certainly enjoyed by me and my comrades. It is certainly gratifying to know that the folks back home are concerned con-cerned about us who are in the service. Today, it seems that good old-fashioned patriotism is not exercised ex-ercised in the degree that it should be, and it's good to see that there are those who still realize how important im-portant patriotism is. My buddies were really impressed that your organization was so concerned. Keep up the good work. Our country coun-try needs all the help at home it can get. Thanks again. Erwin L. Farnsworth, 1 Lt.

A SOLDIER'S REPLY Tuesday I talked with a young soldier home on emergency leave from Thailand. We were discussing our presence in Southeast Asia.

NOTICE, BARRACKS MEMBERS i All members of the West Millard Barracks of World War One Veterans, Vet-erans, Inc. are urged to attend an important meeting slated for Monday, Mon-day, Jan. 26, 7:30 p.m. at the M. E. Bird Center. Auxiliary members are urged to attend, also Delta Faced With Disposal Problem: The residents of Delta City are faced with a serious health and sanitary problem as a result of an inefficient and inadequate sewage treatment facility. Part of the problem stems from the fact that the sewage treatment facility was constructed years ago with the treatment capacity of 1,000 or about two thirds of the town. This seemed adequate at that time, however, about 50 more connections have been made in recent years and this can be doubled with some new collector lines. This forces the plant to work at 50 over-capacity or more. At the time the present plant was built, the requirements were for primary treatment only. Now the State Health Department has re cognized the need for secondary treatment and both Federal and State laws require this to be done. The City Council has had several engineering studies made of the present system and all have recommended recom-mended a complete new system in that it would be more efficient and much more economical. The second part of the problem stems from the fact that the drain carrying affluent from the treatment treat-ment plant to the river has caved in in several places so that the affluent does not drain to the river. This causes the sewer to back up and overflow the manholes and other spots and results in untreated sewage on the land surface around the plant. Again, this points to the need of an entirely new system. There have been presented sev- ral engineering reports and financial finan-cial studies to determine the most appropriate and economical courses of action to provide the citizens of Delta the type of waste disposal system they want and should have. At the last City Council meeting, the council did approve the final design for a new lagoon type treatment treat-ment plant and some new collector lines. These plans have been forwarded for-warded to the State Health Dept. for their approval. Several avenues are being ex plored as to the financing of the j system. It is hoped that two orj three different grants can be ob-j tained so Es ''o keep the cost of bonding as low as possible. This will in turn, make the necessary sewer charge as minimul as can be. More will be printed as to the THIS MAGNIFICANT animal now is the property of Kenneth A. Adams, Sutherland. The top stallion is known by the name of "Bar Tonto" and was purchased pur-chased December 7, 1969 at Pomona, Calif, during the California Cali-fornia Mid-Winter Selected Sale for $10,000.00. Sired by Three Bars out of Tonta Gal. Bar Tonto is a Triple A sire with such stakes winners as Bar Tawny, Go Gracie Go, Dogface Alter Bar, Barbelle Ann, Yokut, to his credit. Other Stakes winners sired by Bar Tonto include Desierto, Riata Bar and others too numerous to list. It has been said that few stallions in the quarter horse world today transmit speed to their get with the consistency that Bar Tonto has demonstrated. 63 per cent of his starters are romrated and 35 are AAA. Bar Tonto is a full brother to the world famous Leo, current Serious Sewage Must Be Solved financing as soon as additional information in-formation can be obtained. Growth Center II Defined By Six-County Six-County Director Several Deltans met with Mr. Jess Jarvis, Executive Director of the Six-County Economic Development Develop-ment District, Monday night at the County Offices to discuss the impact im-pact that the designation "Growth Center" could have on Delta, immediate surroundings and all areas of Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, San-pete, Sevier and Wayne Counties. The city of Richfield was also designated as a "growth center." Mr. Jarvis defined an Economic Development Area as a county area that has a higher average of low income and unemployment than the national average. He said that the philosophy behind declaring declar-ing a given city as a "growth center" is that all other areas will be benefited through the creation of new jobs and job opportunities.

He has owned racing horses in the past but now concentrates on producing racers for buyers. He grows most of his own feed but does buy some of it. He sells mostly to private individuals but in the past has consigned some of his horses to auctions. He sold a filly in the All American Amer-ican Sale last year in Ruidoso, New Mexico. This sale is considered con-sidered to be one of the leading sales of the nation. During the mid-sixties, one of his horses brought $6,000.00.
