At a meeting last Friday evening in the local Bureau of Land Management office, San Juan County stockmen and other interested individuals were informed of the U.S. Armys plans for a near quarantine of some 280,000 acres of land in the Hart Point, Dugout Ranch, Hatch Mesa area of the county. The reasons for the quarantine is that the area will be subject to dropout, that is portions of missiles fired from' the Green River missile launching facility will be dropped within the area. District Director Harley Handy informed the stockmen that the Army expected evacuation of the area by humans for a period during each firing and there will be 12 launchings per month for an period from Aug. 1, 1963 to Jan. 31, 1965. Stockmen with permits in the area, landowners and others who use the area for a livelihood will receive remuneration to stay out of the area and will be required to sign waivers so that if they do remain the government will assume no liability for injury. This in itself will present a problem to the stockmen involved since they must find other sources of range or feed for their stock. What could be even more serious, however, is the possible deer damage to the range if hunting cannot be conducted there. The entire area is a deer problem anyway and late seasons are conducted each year in an attempt to cut down the number of animals. If the situation were allowed to go for two winters without an appreciable kill then the population would reach such proportions that the livestock permittees would have no range to go back to after the BLM 12-ho- ur th 18-mo- Conservation Agent Cecil Jones indicates that the Fish and Game Department will probably seek special consideration with a request for suspension of missile firing for a week or 10 days so that the regular deer season can be conducted in the area involved. If this fails then the situation is definitely a probnot just for hunters who would normally go to the area but primarily for the stockmen who must find adequate graze in the area to support their lem Strong 700,000 Kokanee sal- last mon forming behind the Gian now Can- yon Dam.

With the advent of at least partial spring weather, Monticellans are asked this week to donate the use of their brawn on the new city park Saturday with the ultimate goal of completion of the sprinkling system. Mayor Ken Bailey asks that everyone who can spare a few hours, or the entire day, help with the work at the park. Ditches have been bladed for the sprinkling lines and the lines must now be laid and covered. If completion of the system cannot be accomplished this Saturday then another work day will be scheduled for the following Saturday. With acquisition of the comer lot adjacent to the library, Monticello now has an excellent opportunity for a badly needed city park. The location is such that tourists traveling U.S. 160 or Utah 47 go right by it and shade trees, an expanse of green grass and colorful flowers should certainly provide the incentive for travelers to stop and stay awhile. In order to keep the cost down, and at the same time increase civic pride and responsibility, most of the work on the park will necessarily have to be donated. With everyones cooperation the amount of time necessary will be nominal. If you have a few hours to waste Saturday dont waste it come on out to the new city park. Activity will start at 8 a.m. and continue throughout the day. The small salmon are the first of more than 8 million trout, large mouth bass and salmon scheduled for planting into the reservoir this summer. The fish were transported hatcheries throughout the northern part of the state to the Kane Creek access point in woven net containers inside the hatchery truck. At Kane Creek the fish were transferred into milk can containers and carried by boat to the planting sites. Additional plants numberthree million rainbow ing trout and nearly one and one-hamillion large mouth bass, to be supplied from Federal hatcheries, are scheduled to go Into the reservoir beginning May 20. A portion of the plants will be made from aircraft.

New officers are Mrs. Boyd Dean Anderson, president; Bitter, vice president; Mrs. William secretary-treasureHuber, Mrs. Clarence Johnson, program chairman. In an effort to promote better PTA attendance, the group decided to hold meetings every other month during the coming year instead of the usual monthly sessions. Speaker at the meeting was the Rev. Wayne Pontious, vicar of St. Christophers Mission. His topic was St. Christophers Place in the Community of Bluff. In his talk, he emphasized that while the mission is primarily oriented to the Navajo culture, it must enlarge its scope to include all persons, regardless of background. The Rev. Pontious made a plea for better understanding by the 20th century American of the problems of the Navajo people. He emphasized his plea by giving a resume of both white and Navajo backgrounds, showing a deep chasm between the two cultures that he says must now be bridged. r; LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Afton Hyde attended the Mesa College track meet held in Grand Junction recently where their son Billy was a participant from College of Southern Utah.

Ive kept an accurate record of my gasoline mileage ever since buying my 1961 Rambler American. Keeping such records has made me a confirmed believer that is a better product, says Mr. Warner.
