Dr. James R. Barton, Professor of Civil Engineering at BYU explained the conclusions to those parents present at the meeting. Dr. Barton and David A. White Assistant Professor of Zoology were the leaders of the study conducted for the Utah Department of Highways to explore the means of preparing a guide for improvement of channels which have been changed or for restoring old channels which have deteriorated. The main preliminary conclusion is that a river channel changed by construction can be made to function ecologically as well as a natural channel. The results of this study indicate that fish habitat can be built into a new channel in such a way that the changed section will be as good if not better fishing areas than the original channel. Many types of structures to provide habitat for fish were tested some proving very good and others proving to be use- less. Structures large rip-ra- p conducted of rock seemed to be one of the most effective. The rip-ra- p was placed so as to create a sort of check dam to form quiet spots for the fish. The placing of large random rocks in the stream, a technique used frequently in the past was studied, and, it was concluded that large random rocks need to be placed in the areas of high velocity to create the desired results. The random rocks placed in the main channel of the stream have not been evaluated yet because they were placed in the late tall of 1970. Dr. Barton summed iqp his preliminary findings by saying that longterm research on these structures will be necessary to evaluate their effectiveness over a long period of time. The effects to time may alter some of the conclusions arrived at after a study as short as the one just concluded. In general, the structures placed in the changed sections of the channel on the Weber River near Henefer have been effective in creating good habitat.

Blind Persons Most Aided by Lions Club No organization in the world does as much for blind persons and those with eye problems as local County Lions Club member pointed out this week. Last year 80,000 pairs of hard-worki- ng glasses were sent to India, he pointed out. In addition, 20,000 pairs were sent to Central America. The number of corneal transplants arranged and financed by Lions Clubs all over the world is tremendous. Locally, a $60,000 Chair of Ophthalmology has been established at the University of Utah, throup whip deserving young men have Lions Club financing for training to become eye doctors and surgeons. In addition, Lions Clubs pay expenses of Mind persons to two separate points in the United States to secure Seeing Eye . Dop. With all this service provided by the Lions Club, the local man said, it seeps most unnecessary to send discarded out of town.
