WHETHER NEEDED OR NOT Several years ago the Army Engineers tried to sell Morgan County on the necessity of improving the Weber River, clear through the county. The commissioners said thanks, but no. We don't really think we need it. Now the Federal Government, urged and abetted by .Utah's two Senators, Bennett and Moss, have pushed the same deal through again. This time, apparently, Morgan and Summit Counties will be stuck for the job whether the citizens like it or not. And our Senators are smirking with efforts to prevent flooding. pride in their good-dee- d Actually, agree, what it does is the same old story: Provide more local county water for the Wasatch front. There is a strong possibility that the water level may be lowered locally, according to seasoned observers, and that wells may go dry and springs may dry up. What work on the river and its currents, eddies and pools will do to the fishing picture is obvious. This latest thrus;, added to the .destruction of fishing from Echo to Henefer, is hard for sportsmen to accept Where the local money is coming from is not detailed.

This badly-need- ed project was authorized in the 85th Congress, but one of the difficulties in implementing construction was the requirement that local interests provide rights-of-w- ay for construction, move utilities, and provide other assurances to the Federal Government, Sen. Bennett explained. 'The bulk of the costs of this work foils upon Morgan County, which is one of the smaller counties in Utah. The county has been unable to raise the necessary funds from its meager annual budgets and, as a result, preconstruction planning was suspended in 1962 and the project authorization expired last year, he added. Sen. Bennett said, 'Realiz ing the very real potential of flood damage downstream, I sponsored the amendment to extend the authorization of the Weber River Channel Improvement Project.

Merina MeGyung Brown, old charmer, has a tiny captivated the Brown family and fits in now as if she had been a part of the family all her young life. The adoption process and the long wait for this beautiful little addition to the family started last October and the Brown family were sure they would have Merina fay March. In Korea she lived in an orphanage until the LDS Stake President and his wife found foster parents. Then when these parents couldn't keep her the Stake President took her into his home until the adoption was completed. Craig and Janeil were both excited and nervous when they arrived at the Los Angeles airport to meet the plane bringing the babies from Korea. They couldn't find anyone to give them any information except at which gate to wait so they simply waited, and waited, and waited. THEY BECAME ACQUAINTED with a lady from Oklahoma who was also waiting for the same plane which was bringing to her an baby boy. When the plane finally landed they strained to catch a glimpse of the passengers but couldnt see their little giej. Janeil became a little panicky at this moment, wondering..!! somehow she was not on the plane but still in Seoul. The minutes ticked by slowly as they waited for the passengers to come through customs, looking up anxiously each time the huge double doors opened to let out a single pas- senger. Finally the ladu from Oklahoma was thrilled to see her little baby boy being carried out, crying and so cute. Janeil called out to the lady carry-inghl- m explaining whothey were and asked where their little girl might be. "Oh, I am so glad we found out you are to pick her uphere. We thought you would be in Chicago and were getting ready to send her on! What a close call! In a few minutes the doors slid open and there stood their little girl, peering out at them. She seemed so beautiful and forlorn, with her shiny Mack hair and sparkling eyes, it was all a mother could do to stand there and wait until they were allowed to have her. Finally the long waiting was over and they had their new daughter, who soon overcame her shyness and began giggling and calling Craig 'Daddy. After helping the lady from Oklahoma to her terminal where she said she planned to 'do lots of lovin while waiting for her plane home, they boarded their own plane ami in an hour and 30 minutes were in Salt Lake where the other three children were Camp Set It is once again, time for camp.
