Show posing Echo Park Dam within Dinosaur National Monument. This project, if completed within the boundaries of the existing monument, would represent an invasion of our National Parks and Monuments system. At the same time, the inundation of the Green and Yampa River Canyons would destroy scenic and recreational values which are not found in any other park or monument within the United States. I wish to thank you for your comments and observations on this matter, and I hope that any disagreement that may exist between us on this will not affect our over-al- l agreement on the need for conservation and the best use of our natural resources. Please feel free to write us whenever we can be of any help to you. Very truly yours, NATIONWILDLIFE FEDERATION Stewart M. Brandborg Assistant Conservation Director Mrs. Bessie Barton Clarkson, Kentucky Dear Mrs. Barton: This is a much belated reply to your letter of February 7. The long delay has been occasioned by the fact that I have received so much mail since my return to Washington that it has been absolutely impossible to keep abreast of it. I am glad to have your letter on Echo Park and I shall give this matter my careful consideration in connection with this legislation. I appreciate your writing me about it. Cordially yours, ALBEN W.

FORMER RESIDENT HELPS SELL NEED OF UPPER COLORADO RIVER PROJECT Several weeks ago Mrs. Bessie Barton, a former resident of Duchesne and a subscriber and reader of the Uintah Basin Record, sent me the following letter and two answers she received. She makes her home in Clarkson, Ky., and her letters are from assistant conservation director of the National Wildlife Federation and from a United States senator, Clarkson, Ky. Mr. Cliff Memmott Roosevelt, Utah . Dear Sir: I have been trying to help the Upper Colorado Basin, Echo Park Dam bill in my small way. Last year I wrote John Sherman Cooper and Earle Clements, Senators from Kentucky, about that bill and they both promised to support it, and I think they did. Enclosed are two letters, self explanatory, that I received in reply to letters I have written. Barkley does not promise anything, and the National Wildlife Federation does not sound very favorable either. I wanted you to see what they say about it. My home is in Duchesne, and I get the Duchesne paper. Very truly yours, Bessie Barton ' ft . . Mrs. Bessie Barton Barton Clarkson, Kentucky Dear Mrs. Barton: Mr. Kelley has asked that I reply to your recent letter regarding the Upper Colorado River Storage project. First of all, I wish to inform you that the National Wildlife Federation does not oppose the entire Upper Colorado project. We are opposed only to that portion which provides for Echo Park Dam within Dinosaur National Monument. As a conservation organization, we are very much aware of the need for the fullest use and conservation of water and of the vital water resources of the Colorado River. We are most anxious to encourage those measures which would provide for this.

Joe Marsh Handle With Care Tractors are like horses or Bales in more ways than one. They can be pretty tricky if you dont handle them right. Too many tractor accidents happen because of carelessness.

Patton, was on his way from to Formosa, and Washington stopped in Duchesne on Monday evening at the Buckhom Cafe ror supper. Lue Robbins and family enjoyed a very nice visit with him until such time as one of the local hoodlums entered the cafe, intoxicated and proceeded to enter into the conversation. The Major is an executive officer in the U. S. Air Force and a wing commander in the Far East, and the hoodlum started an argument and proceeded to insult the Major and dispute his record. The Major finally informed this person that he had displayed his ignorance to the upmost and left. The Robbins family enjoyed the call from the Major very extensively, but was sorry for the unpleasantness that occurred. W. L.

Prepare baits only in sufficient quantities for one weeks use. hard-surfac- Residual Bait Sprays Sprays which leave insecticide deposits on the surfaces treated are called residual sprays. Insects such as house flies, which rest on these deposits for prolonged periods are poisoned by the insecticides. To extend the residual action of malathion or diabinon sprays, sugar should be used. Two effective formulas containing 2.5 per cent insecticide are: emulsifiable 50 Malathion, 1 concentrate pint, 2 lbs. sugar, 2 gallons water. wettable powder Diazinon, 25 2 lbs., 2 lbs. sugar, 2 gallons water. sprays with a hand sprayer to surfaces where flies rest. Surfaces should be thoroughly soaked with spray. Repeat as necessary. Cautions The insecticides suggested here are poisonous to man and care must be taken in their preparation, storage and use. Do not contaminate foods, feed, cooking and eating utensils, skin, clothing, or water supplies for domestic animals. In event of skillage on skin or clothing, wash thoroughly and change clothes. Do not use inside of dwellings. Malathion may be used inside dairies as a poison bait or as a residual bait spray. Dipterex may be used inside of dairies only as a poison bait.
