Dr. Shofstal said that final approval of the sites is contingent only upon the signing of contracts between school board officials in the communities and representatives of the Educational Technology Demonstration (ETD), The ETD, funded mainly by the US. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, will utilize a satellite to be launched next spring by the National Aeronautics and Space AdThe project is ministration. being coordinated by the Federation of Rocky Mountain States, headquartered in Denver, Colo- rado. The spacecraft the ATS-- F will be the worlds largest and most powerful communications satellite. Specially designed receiving equipment to be Installed at each selected site will cost less than $3,000, a revolutionary breakthrough in the cost of such communications receiving equipment. Televised programs beamed through the satellite will be devoted to career education cour- ses aimed primarily at junior high school students. The programming, to cover the 1974-7- 5 school year, will be broadcast into 56 rural schools in eight states around the Rocky Mountain region. Besides Arizona, the states are Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, New Mexico and Idaho, The main transmitting terminal for the demonstration will be located in Morrison, Colorado, near Denver. From this terminal signals will be broadcast to the satellite, then beamed down from it to the participating sites. The satellite itself, after it Dill is launched and becomes operational, will remain in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the earth, hovering in the same spot in relation to the earth. The ETD is but one of 23 varied scientific, technological and educational experiments to be conducted worldwide on the NASA satellite. The receiving equipment to pick up the satellite transmisrs sions for participating at FredonlaHlghSchool will be Installed this winter. Dr. Billie McLaughlin is superintendent of the school disninth-grade- trict. The project is being coordinated in Arizona through the State Department of Education. Dr, Buel N. Bowl&n is ETD state coordinator. The ETD pilmarUy will examine the effectiveness of a satellite-base- d telecommunications system in rural schools that do not pick up Public Broadcast Service (PBS) programming.

Moss joins West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph on the measure which would eliminate an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) priority list for federal repayment. "Utah is so far down the list that we would receive no help from EPA, said Moss. To clean up Americas waterways, the Federal government has generally reimbursed states for half the cost of building sewer treatment plants between 1966 and 1972. The problem with thepresent plan is that there has not been enough federal money to cover all of the projects. There is $1.9 billion in government coffers and the state bills come to $2.4 billion. "What the Congress Intended in case of this development, said Moss, "was for each state to receive the same percentage of its caim. Since the amount available is about 80 percent of the total, EPA should given each state 80 percent of its claim. That would be the fair thing to do and that is what our amendment would require.

Pleasant September weather and the opening of big game seasons make the forested mountains of the Southwest popular. The dry, warm weather also has created fire danger conditions that range from high to extreme thoughout the National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico and on other forest and range lands. Regional Forester Wm, D, Hurst noted that so far in September there have been 127 fires with 107 man-caus- ed. The area burned was held to only 161 acres through the quick response and efficiency cf firefighters. Lightning frequently starts fires in the spring but is rare in the fall. Organized firefighting crews were alerted throughout the ReAdditional preparations gion. include four aerial tanker aircraft available for fire retardant drops, and smokejumpers recently assigned to Silver City from Montana.

The accident occurred at the intersection where UJS, 89 and 89A meet at 300 South and 100 East. The car driven by Terry Glover was making a left turn, going south and turning east, when the motorcycle driven by Michael Hatch of Fredonia, struck the car in the right front door. Hatch sustained a broken arm and cuts and bruises. He was' taken to the Kane County Hospital where he was treated and released. Glover was not injured. The front forks of the motorcycle were broken and the fender bent. Damage to the auto was minimal. Glover was cited for making an Improper left turn. There is still some question on the speed of the motorcycle, according to Marshal Bruce Bunting, who investigated the accident. Further tests will be made concerning this, he stated. If anyone had an occasion to visit the classrooms on the west side of the hallway at Kanab High School this past summer he probably thought the Old school was being demolished. Holes were being knocked in walls where chalkboards and bulletin boards once were and dust was everywhere. This was the result of a remodelling Job to better facilitate the teaching of English at Utility company removing old power poles The old street lighting sys- tem along Kanab s main section is being removed, according to Ted Cox, Kanab office manager of California Pacific Utilities. The old wooden poles from Main Street west and around the Third West cornerhave now all been removed, he states. New steel poles were installed last year and the new lights were turned on about the same time as the annual Christmas lights were lighted. The remainder of the older poles will be removed in a continuous removal program. The company is still working on the removal of power poles town from the throughout streets inside the lots. The work is progressing slowly, Mr. Cox states, principally due to the hardship of getting easements over private property in the city. The easements will be necessary in order for the company to complete the pole relocation program. two-sta- Local 4-H- crs fair well at State Fair Competing for State honors at Utah State University Sept. were Hattie Swapp, 5, daughter of Mark Swapp of Kanab, and Peggy Tait, daughter of Mrs. Clyde Tait of Ordervile, both in Style Dress Revue Contest, and Dell Tait, son of nd Tait, Mt.
