Show 9 SALT FLAT NEWS, FEBRUARY, 1972 "fossil Bird Nests of the Great Salt Lake Desert First of all let me say I totally agree with Commissioner Barker. We must clean up the movies and magazines in Salt Lake City to bring our morals up to community standards. But he is simply not going far enough. Now I am caught up in a frightening dilemma. If the depiction of a tender love scene in a magazine or on the silver screen is then doesnt it hold true that the actual act itself is obscene? Here I am living with a woman (my wife) who appeals to my prurient interest most of my waking hours . . . and I must be filth . . . truthful absolutely anamilistic desires . . . sometimes my consume my pure thoughts and we cohabit in a most terrific abandoned manner totally unlike the community standards. And in as much as we have a rather large family by todays standards, we certainly arent in a position to further multiply and replenish THE GREAT SALT Regional winner of a nationwide contest to find the most beautiful legs in the United States isMaretta Ann Hatch, former Salt Flat News coyer girl and recipient of this publicationss prestigious Whats-A-Girl-Like-You-Doi- ng award. Maretta, whose gams were recently declared the best in Utah, will compete with girls from fifty states, or one hundred legs in a national runoff. Judges of the event will be Amy Vanderbilt, best-sellin- g authoress, Bert Bacharach, syndicated columnist and author, Leon Leonidoff, senior executive producer of the Radio City Music Hall, Cathie Mann, beauty editor of TEEN Magazine, and Wilhelmina, director of one of New Yorks biggest modelling agencies. Maretta explains that any modeling book will tell you that the way to shapely legs is just high majorette steps, and Maretta does a lot of that since she is a champion twirler. She also directs and instructs Utahs na- tionally recognized group. show-twi- rl On October 3, 1943, a party from the University of Utah investigated some large bird nest mounds located along the 1846 route of the Donner Party on the Great Salt Lake Desert, north of Knolls, Utah. References to the nests in the literature suggested something enigmatic as to their occurrence, and one newspaper account reached highly fanciful proportions. Several nest mounds were found. They showed considerable variation as to their size, In every case, though, the mound structure indicated nest upon nest in the large, tapering piles of sand, salt, and vegetation, the lat-te- r Allenrolfea. The mounds have evidently been used as nesting sites for many years and have accumulated by sand and salt blowing in and filling up the interstices of the nesting material gathered by the birds. The drift material also accumulates around the base. Thus little by little the mounds have been built up to their present size. The tallest mounds were roughly six feet in height and nine feet across at the base. The actual nests, however, were only about two feet across from rim to rim. They were constructed of dead Allenrolfea roots and stems. There was no special lining of the nest depression although paper, feathers and fur, the latter evidently from the birds prey, had accumulated in many of the nests. Some of the nests showed evidence of recent occupancy, and fragments of eggs and many feathers were collected. The ecological situation together with the size and construction of the actual nest structure suggested that the nests were the work of the rough legged hawk (Buteo regalis). The egg shells and feathers corroborated this view. Further studies are in progress to add to our knowledge of the interesting ecological situation in connection with these nests. ! the earth!
