Show Microfilming 141 Corp. Plerpcnt Ave. 81101 Volume 37, Number 15 Kanah, Utah LOS ANGELES Gov. Calvin L. Rampton said Thursday he is planning on taking key West Coast power executives with him back to Washington July 10, hopefully to iron out the final water contracts on the multi-milliodollar Kaiparowits project in Kane County. The governor said he and the executives would meet with Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall and some of his top officials. The power project has been stalled in negotiations over use of water from Lake Powell for more than a year now, the governor said. But he said he was told by Secretary Udall that a special meeting would be arranged in Washington to work out the differences as soon as the power companies had their specifications completed. Aiken Oaks Resident Succumbs June 23rd Warren A. Brady, 87, former Salt Lake City resident, died of natural causes Sunday, June 23 in the Aiken Oaks Rest Home in Kanab. Mr. Brady, together with his wife have been residents here for about a year. He is the father of Mrs. Alga Brown, Kanab. Mr. Brady was born April 7, 1881, in Fairview, and married Anna Marie Tucker September 10, 1902 in the Manti LDS Temple. Mr. Brady was a graduate of Snow College and Brigham Young University, and spent most of his life in the teaching profession. He is survived by his wife, eight children, 50 grandchildren, 97 great grandchildren, and 3 also great, three sisters. Services for Mr. Brady will be conducted in the Eighteenth LDS ward in Salt Lake City where he and his wife were recently members for many years. Burial will be in the Fairview City Cemetery. Wives At Saturday Steak Fry two key issues to be resolved before the water contract is approved for the $500 million, 5 million kilowatt plant. The first issue deals with priorities for water allocation in times of shortages. The states position is that Utah is already allc-tea share of the Colorado River water, and it is strictly up to the state what it does with its share. The governor explained that the Interior Department apparently wants to set the priorities for water itself during a time of shortage. The other issue involves making supplemental power available from the power project, which will be one of the largest in the world, to government-ownereclamation developments. Gov. Rampton made the comments while flying to Los Angeles to participate in a series of industrial promotion activities in conjunction with the Utah Symphony. He said he was in almost daily contact with some phase of the power plans, which will provide electrical power for the West Coast and for Arizona. Kane County residents who have been in touch with officials of the power companies during the last two weeks report that possibilities for the completion of negotiations and eventual commencement on the project look good.

Marshall Kelly notified the SUNews this week and asked that we make it known that anyone swimming in the Kanab Swimming Pool after hours will be prosecuted. We have a very good pool, it is heated now, swimming and life saving lessons are available. We are very fortunate indeed . . . but let us not go overboard by using the pool when closed. We do not have to do extraordinary things to succeed; Just do ordinary things extraordinary well. Some Little League officials are not happy with the support being given by parents to the selling of concessions at the games.

Brady, passed away in the rest home here in Kanab Sunday. His funeral services are Thursday in Salt Lake City, and this is the reason for the early paper. It was a real rush job to put the paper together in time to leave Wednesday morning, and perhaps some of the news that would normally have been in this week will have to wait till next. Inasmuch as advertising was very limited this week and we published early we have had to use some "foreign news.

Siftin' 'n Observin' and Saturday evening, June 22, the Kanab lions Club held their annual steak fry and installation of officers up on the sands. The Lions with their wives and friends enjoyed an evening under the trees and were served a delicious dinner of steak, potatoes, and biscuits prepared over the campfire and in dutch ovens. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and the companionship. When everyone was full, a formal meeting was called to order by Mr. Foid Janes, Lion President, and the new officers for the 1968-6- 9 year were installed with Mr. U. S. Gardner as master of ceremonies. He said there were apparently school. . . . . Profits from the sale of concessions at the games is used to buy bats, balls and some of the players equipment. Leaders in the program would appreciate it if more assistance were given in this matter. Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell them so. A tourist passing through Kanab commented about how fortunate we are to have as many TV channels as we do, and that we receive it as well as we do. He stated that where he lives they have two channels, and they are piped in, and cost more than ours. However, according to the Lions Club there are still those who take advantage of this service, but do not pay for it because its not goqd enough. According to Uke Gardner, the Lions Club would like to thank all those who do support the program. Some folks entertain a new idea as if it were an unwelcome relative.

It was very interesting to hear their arguments for and against. Actually, I had to wait till they were through discussing to do my work, because I couldnt hear the sound of my presses above their voices. Not really. I did think, however, as they departed what a boon it is to mankind, to be able to disagree and discuss on friendly terms, such important matters, and still remain friends. It is when someone resents the viewpoints of others and lets them stand in the way of friendship that the trouble begins. One may try hard to change anothers views, and argue the point very heatedly, but if they can remain friends after the discussion, when they still have their same viewpoint, then thats as it should be. I see from Speaking of the daily papers that Kane County has the hon-or- ( ?) of having sent in the most names per capita on the petition than any county submitting thus far.

In a safety message, Richard W. Sonntag, M.D., President of the Utah So-- , ciety, advises parents to closely supervise childrens playtime activities during the national holiday period. After every Fourth of July, says Dr. Sonntag, the Utah Society receives far too many reports of young eyes damaged or blinded in fireworks accidents. These accidents can be avoided only if parents accept their responsibilities and cooperate with the authorities in enforcing fireworks laws. The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness has helped pioneer a model State Fireworks Law 'prohibiting sale and uncontrolled use of fire works in 27 states. Federal legislation bans shipment of fireworks into states with legislation against them. The National Society advocates adoption of the model law by every state. The Utah Society offers these hints to parents for a safe holiday celebration: (1) Dont allow children to buy fireworks through the mail or from illicit dealers. (2) Help children to realize that fireworks are dangerous. (3) Dont buy or use fireworks yourself. (4) Take your family to a public fireworks display where they can enjoy the show in safety. Golf balls are an additional danger to childrens eyes each year not only because they receive black eyes from being hit with them, but because curious little hands cut into their cores releasing a corrosive liquid that can squirt into the eye causing serious damage. Several cases have already been reported this summer," said Dr. Sonntag. The Utah Society is an affiliate of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc., which is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in the prevention of blindness through a comprehensive program of community service, public and professional education and research. Susan Gipe Little Receives High Honor 1968 $4.00 Yearly, 10c Single Copy Kanab Movielartd, Inc. Gets Stock Sale Approval Kar.ab Movieland, Inc., receivthis week from the Utah Security Commission to sell common stock, according to ed approval Taylor Crosby, president. Directors of KMI have been meeting regularly during recent months, concentrating on this objective, and will now be able to move ahead with movie development projects which have been discu sod during the past winter. The corporation has published and distributed several hundred attractive brochures on Kanab, highlighting its movie making assets. The brochure included se veral pictures of the area, local advantages, leadership support from Governor Calvin L. Rampton, County Commis-ioneMerrill MacDonald, City Mayor r and Citizenship Award. This award is given after evaluation is made by a board of 21 doctors and instructors. After graduation, ten of her classmates came to Kanab to attend the wedding reception in honor of she and Lane. Other out of town guests for the wedding were Maude Niven, Lebanon, Ore.; Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Gipe, Univ.

Daly and son of Sandy. ber of Commerce. A summary of facilities and prices available to studios were established and sent with the movie conbrochure. Lcng-tim- e tact man, Fay IIamlblin checked with the corporation on these and helped make recommendations. favoiable comments Many have been received on the publication, according to Mr. Crosby. Some companies have already written and indicated their plans to visit Kanab this summer to personally review its pee abilities. It will take time, said Mr. Crosby. There are hundreds of studios who still do not know that Kanab, Utah exists. It will take a year or two to contact these new companies and devel- - op the services and facilities they need. Many communities are organizing to entertain and serve the movie makers. Kanab will lose out if they do not do the same. St. George this year is a good example. Local leaders got together and rolled out the red carpet for 20th Century Fox and succeeded in landing a big one. Moab reportedly had through a united community effort lined up what may be their best year, for movie making. This is only further proof that the movie interests like to work with a united community, Mr. Crosby stated. Federal and state requirements are becoming more rigid each year and it is feared that unless private land is available, movie makers may be frozen out of the area. With this in mind Thermal Power Plant Could of public and electrical power firms private will begin construction on a thermal power plant at Page in 1970 that could bring Coconino County an estimated $3 91 million in annual tax revenues. A combination Rich John on, executive director of the Arizona Interstate Stream Commission, said today that the plant would probably be built by a combination of the Salt River Project, Arizona Public Service and California Edison. Construction is due to begin in 1970 and will probably last for six years, Johnson said. During that time 900 to 1,000 construction workers would be brought into Northern Arizona, he added. On Wednesday of last week I inserted in The Congressional Record a newspaper account of an occurrence at Resurrection City, the tent and plywood community recently erected near the Lincoln Memorial here in Washington to house the participants in the Poor Peoples Campaign. This occurrence depicts in very real terms the spirit and attitude of many of these people who have come to the Nations Capital to make demands upon the government. Readers of this column, I believe, will find the newspaper account a revealing one. It follows, together with my introductory remarks as they appeared in The Record. Mr. Burton of Utah. Mr. Speaker, of Ml the many words that have been written and spoken about the Poor Peoples Campaign, both pro and con, none is quite so telling as those that appeared in a news story in the Washington Evening Star on Monday, June 10. The article, entitled Plumber Gets No Aid From Poor He Helps, by Chris Wright, tells of the efvolunforts of a teer to assist the residents of Resurrection City and their refusal to do any work to help him help them. It has been variously suggested that the plight of many of the poor people now camping out in Washington could be remedied by a simple act, that of going to work. This article would indicate that this is one of the last things some Resurrection City campaigners want to do. The article follows: Plumber Gets No Aid From Poor He Helps (by Chris Wright) James H. Clark stood shoulder-din the freshly dug eep trench, sighting down the line of black sewer pipe he had just laid between two rows of Resur- rection Citys plywood shacks. Because the plant will be located in Coconino County, John on noted in a letter to Stream Commission Chairman Douglas J. Wall, all of the tax revenue will go into the countys coffers. Tased on the 1967 tax rates, Johnson said, the plant will put an estimated $1.14 million into the county treasury. In addition to that sum, Johnson noted, an estimated $2.8 million would go into the treasuries of the various elementary school systems in the county. A portion of the taxes, Johnson noted, would go into the state treasury and subsequently seme of this money would also be returned to Coconino County under existing regulations. -- from Arizona Daily Sun Clark is not a resident of the poor peoples encampment. He is a licensed plumber with his own business in Washington. Yesterday he was at Resurrection City laying a sewer line so the showers would have drains and not create a quagmire. He wa3 doing the work free, and asked the encampment officials about the possibility of help. Periodically the public address system would ask for volunteers for an unspecified task. Clark would look up once in a while, shrug his shoulders and bend back down into the trench. No volunteers came. These people dont want to work, he said. When the motor of the idled, transistor radios could be heard inside nearby shelters. From time to time a group of men would gather around the ditch and watch Clark work. Once Clark looked directly at a big man who seemed to be a leader and asked him to get some help and begin filling the trench behind them. The man looked surprised. Brother, I came down here to get away from shovels, was the reply. By late afternoon the line was about halfway to the showers. Someone obtained a second earth-move- r machine but only to haphazardly fill the began trench. He soon went away. As Clark worked, he said he ha 1 very little use for the Poor Peoples Campaign, personally. But he feels sorry for the people in the camp and he likes to see a job, especially one done by Negroes, done right. Helped by Cousin Clark donated his time for the project.

As the day went on his pipeline progressed steadily through the hot, clay toward the plywood shower stalls in the center of the camp. Clark and his helped ignored the camp residents who jumped the trench, kicking dirt where they were working. Rain Fills Trench As huge thunderclouds began to blot out the sun at about 6 p.m., Clark looked anxiously at his handiwork and the mostly non-existe- sun-bake- d unfilled trench. A few big drops fell, making dark spots on his green denim shirt. Im a damn fool, he threw down the shovel in his hand. But Ive been one brought up that way. He picked up the shovel and finished bracing the pipe joint. The rain clouds got darker. The least they could do is fill up this hole." He jumped out of the ditch. Take this shovel and put it in our truck, he told his cousin. Im going to do something about this. Clark strode off between the plywood houses. His cousin disappeared in the other direction. Time passed. The rain began to fall in sheets across the camp. The hole began to fill with water. The loosely piled earth on the sides turned to runny mud.
