Show Blood donations are requested A sjiei-ia- l plea was made this week by members of the Roosevelt Citizen's band Radio dub for resident of the Roosevelt area to volunteer to donate blood for one of their members when the Red Cross Blood mobile visits the area May 13. Club officials state that Randy Casto, who has been undergoing surgery in Salt lake, is in need of many pints of donated blood. Donations can be made through the Red Cross, by asking that your donation be made in his name. The bloodniobile will be located at the Roosevelt LDS stake center from 2 to 10 p.in. Tuesday, May 13. New office, press to MgUight changes at Standard Nature is funny. Since die didn't make all of ua perfect, she did the neat best thing. She made us blind to our faults. Never underestimate the power of the press. Things just don't get by without notice. For instance, George Stewart called the other day and asked if we would pleaie run a little correction on the airplane story. He said he had been flooded with calle-o- ne from California, one from Ogden, several from other places in Utah, and a number from Myton and other communities in the county. All the calls pointed out to him that his date of the landing was wrong. Weil, he did some research, and sure enough the plane did not land in 1921. The exact date was Aug. 21, 1919. The old DeHaviiand bomber landed near Myton, aa part of a three-plan- e entourage. And by the way, those who thought that Johnny Harper Nick came in on that flight were evidently mistaken. He came in on another plane, probably the second one to land in the Basin. , Anyway, George extends his apologies to the Standard readers. 6e says he'll do his research better next time. r - Take life ea but don't leave it so. your find it. We received a clipping the other day in an envelope. There was no name or explanation, just the clipping. We don't even know where the clipping was published. But it had a thought worth repeating: "Almost every teacher has had a class that would be a joy to teach if it were not for that one student who constantly disrupts the other students. Such a teacher may dream of how wonderful it would be if the troublemaker could be ejected from the class. Yet concerned teachers would inevitably feel defeated if they simply weeded out the problem child. They know that the real challenge of education is to be able to teach an entire class effectively-an- d that the troublemaker, like other hurdles in life, must be reached somehow and converted into a responsible human being." The stage is set this week for two major changes at the Uintah Basin Standard. With no unforseen difficulties the new features will take effect next week. First, a new edition of the Uintah Basin Standard will begin publication Monday. This paper will be distributed to all subscribers of the Standard, and will be placed in the mail Monday evening. One of the basic differences, however, will be the fact that it will originate in Duchesne, with emphasis on countywide news and reports on county and school board activities. It will carry newt from the entire Basin, however, providing a means of covering news events twice per week. To facilitate this paper, an office has been established in Duchesne, in the Professional Plaza, Suite 500. The office can be reached by calling with hours running from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. This edition of the Standard will be edited by Dennelh Osborn, with Lin Stafford as Society editor and Karen Lefler typesetter. Clarin Ashby will continue as publisher. Because of the second edition each week, deadlines for news coverage will be changed, and brought more current Advertising to run in the Duchesne, County edition (Monday), or to run in both editions, should be submitted by Friday., Regular news should be in by items Saturday, although can be covered Monday morning. For the Wednesday edition, news and advertising headlines will be. noon Tuesday, with the capability of covering late news happenings Wednesday morning. Combined advertising to be published in one or both editions of the Standard can be arranged either at the Duchesne or Roosevelt offices. Reduced rales are in 738-209- late-breaki- effect both on regular advertising and on classified advertising that is included in both papers. coverBecause of the age of news, it is anticipated that the Standard will be able to carry considerably more news and pictures. Because of this fact, suggestions will be welcomed on possible feature stories, and news tips will be greatly appreciated. Aa an added feature, businesses end individuals in the Ducheane ares may Cor office contact the Duchesne for information or place orders commercial printing, that will be handled by Basin Press. And the second feature to begin next week will be the publication of tbe newspapers on s press here in the county. Installation of the new press is nearing completion. Test runs have been made, and full production should begin next week. This will be the first time in some two years that a newspaper has actually been "printed" here in the Basin. The Uintah Basin Standard converted to "offset" method of printing nearly nine years ago, and was printed in Murray for a short time before a sheet fed press was obtained. For about four years the Standard was printed on the Harris sheet fed, until it was outgrown about four years ago. Since that time the press work has been done in American Fork. The Vernal Express was printed ia Vernal until about two years ago when they too converted to offset. Since that time, it too has been printed in American Fork. Both the Standard and the Express will now be printed in Roosevelt oa the new News King press. web-fe- d The four-unpress will offer a capacity of 16 pages per run of black and white reproduction.

The lagoons were constructed to handle about 4,000 which was double the residents, population at the time they were built. But with the citys population above 5,000, the system is unable to handle the capacity, creating a hazard to health in the area. Engineers studying the problem have suggested that the treatment facilities be moved further from the city, in a southeasterly direction, which is the normal fall direction. The proposed project would include treatment lagoons, for with future adequate space expansion, plus a water utilization program of storage aral sprinkler irrigation that could not only provide revenues, but also make use of water is inadequate, flow. The water program, which Ls being employed successfully in other states, should provide suificienl revenue to pay all maintenance costs of the treatment system. Consequently, engineers stale that construction costs ran he repaid without any increase In sewer rates to users. In studying the problem for t he city, ali possible alternatives were considered. It was determined that the proposal now being considered was the most feuiUe, least costly, and best able to serve the future needs of the rity than any other means. And it was also noted that this project would possibly provide a "beneficial environmental impact retber than negative, since no discharge of affluent will be made in existing streams, and the treated water will be used to irrigate presently idle land. It is anticipated that construction can be started this summer, if the bond inane passes. Collection lines would be instated into the city, and also new lines would better serve the perifory to the east and re-us- e west. City officials encourage resident to partiepate in the bond election next Tuesday. 'W |
