In ease you haven't caught the hint yet, we suggest that you make use of your rights, and get out and vote. It would be a disgrace, particularly in this bicentennial year, if our governmental representatives are elected by only a slim majority of 60 of the citizenry that goes to the polls. - It always . non-partic- GOP candidates meet the public The Duchesne County Republican Party played host this week to state political candidates at an open house and public meeting Tuesday, to acquaint county residents with these seeking office.

How can a person realistically wish for a warm snow storm? This is the case with some 200,000 deer hunters after the opening week of the hunt. They would like to see a little moisture in the hills to help with the hunt, even though they hate to part with the beautifully warm fall 'weather ' that we have been enjoying. The conditions on the mountain this past weekend were extremely dry. Most hunters reported seeing deer (although a large percentage were doe and fawn), but unless one moved into you, the dry conditions made it impossible to get close enough to get a shot. The larger bucks seemed to stil lbe extremely high, in the rugged timbered areas of the mountain where they are relatively safe from hunters. At any rate, a storm would not only bring greater success to the hunters, but it would also make things look a lot more promising for an adequate water supply next summer.

CONTEST WINNER-Car- ol 1. Hoyt is candidates for a state school board seat from this district. On the bottom of the billot, voters will find four issues requiring consideration. First listed is Proposition No. 1, which would amend the state constitution in the area of election residency requirements and voter age. It is titled Educations and Suffrage Article Revision". At the right of that proposal is listed Initiative Proposal A, Freedom from Compulsory Fluoridation and Medication Ad." If passed, this act would prohibit State Board of Health from adding fluorides and other medications to any public water supply, and also to prohibit fluoridation or other medication of any public water supply except when authorized. . .by initiative petition. At lower left is Initiative Proposal B., The Utah Recall and Advisory Recall Ad". This act, if passed, would authorize the recall of public officials by registered voters, and authorize a special election to replace any officer as a result of a recall petition. The final issue is Initiative Proposal C, Budgetary Procedures Ad Ceiling". This ad would impose a five-yeannual budget ceiling, and the phasing out of federal revenues. It also provides that any budget surpluses be applied to the retirement of state indebtedness, and thereafter a tax reduction schedule be adopted. Polling places for the eight county voting precincts have been designated. In Altamont, voters will ballot at the city office. For Duchesne, the county building.

SERVING UTAH'S GROWING THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1976 VOLUME 64 NUMBER 44 One-fourt- h UINTAH BASIN iflSOKI A consolidation of the ROOSEVELT STANDARD and UINTAH BASIN RECORD QioffidMMts tiryforoil divestfitiure company At a meeting of- - the local chapter members of the American Petroleum Institute, held last Wednesday evening in Roosevelt guest speaker William E. Bauer, a Texaco geologist told those present that at a time when the nation has a great need for the development of additional energy sources, bills are being introduced to cripple oil companies through dismemberment thus eliminating the only source of expertise, financial backing and technology available to accomplish the task." He went on to point out that it would be impossible for small" oil companies to contribute to any extent toward new energy development, and in most cases even the large" companies find it necessary to pool funds and technology in lacing the costs and problems involved with such research. Mr. Bauer pointed out that there are two basic bills being introduced toward divestiture. One, known as horizontal divestiture", would bar oil companies from becoming involved in other energy sources. The other bill, vertical divestiture", would limit oil companies to one phase of the oil industry (such as exploration, or refining, or marketing). As for the first type of divestiture, Mr. Bauer feels this would materially cripple any meaningful program for the development of new energies. Other sources would still require much the same expertise now possessed by the oil Contest (Continues: pot now at $165 Youre pretty sneaky, was the comment made by Mrs. Carol Grimaud when she was informed that she had won MS in the Mystery Personality Contest in the drawing held Tuesday morning, but had failed to find all of the clues. She had found 11 of the 14 clues. For the second week in a row the additional money will be added to this week's pot, making the total now $165. If the entry drawn next week has the correct personality named and has all of the clues listed, the winner will receive the full $165. There still is some question as to where entries are to be deposited each week. of the sponsoring merchants will have entry boxes each week. To determine which stores will have the boxes on a given week you should turn to the contest page. Over the top of one of the four rows of merchant ads will be found a large arrow. Boxes will be located in each of these firms. Dan Dennis, incumbent, State Representative is running on the Republican ticket. Mrs. Grimaud correctly identified the personality as Fred Pope of Duchesne. But she had failed to find three dues. One due that she missed, and in looking through other entires we found that most others missed it also, was the word cowboy". Mr. Pope had spent a good deal of his life working with cattle and horses, and was widely known for his prowess in breaking and training horses. The clue was included in Kohl's ad, where it was listed that they had "Cowboy Rifles" for sale. We've never seen a cowboy rifle as such. She also missed the due, leather work", which was included in the G & L Chevrolet ad. Mr. Jones has become known in recent years for his work with miniature animals, and harnesses, saddles, etc., to use with these miniatures. Hie third missed clue wss Justice of the Peace". The due was included with Gale's Office Supply ad, but there would be no need for Gale's to be advertising that they were a JP. Many of the other entry blanks had located these two dues, but few had properly identified all of them. Other clues that were found were than Cardinal", retired, "trained horses", "early settler", miniature farms", leather work, and "Duchesne native, all telling of Mr. Pope's status and "higher former dispatcher", background. Clues also included his phone number, post office box number, his wile's name, and the fact that he has two children. There were more entires in the contest the second week, and it is anticipated that as the kitty gets larger, and especially $165 this week, there should be a lot of people trying for the money. And you cant win if you don't get an entry in one or all of the boxes. $165 would probably help a lot of people with their Christmas shopping. company, and if divoreed from ofl companies, would require vast duplication of efforts. Coal for instance, has the greatest potential to solve the long range energy needs. Coal can be utilized in its present state, or converted to oil or gas. At the present time over 9,000 companies produce coal, and only nine' of these companies are oil firms. The cost of natural gas from coal would be considerably greater than at present however. He pointed out that the controlled price of natural gas was 52 cents per MCF, and recently this was raised to $1.42. But the cost would be between $5 and $6 per MCF to produce the gas from coaL 00 shale too would require considerable investment and expertise (again already avaflable in the ofl industry). It is estimated that a 100,000 barrel per day oil shale plant would cost some $17i to $2 billion, and even then the ofl produced would cost $22 per barrel, where foreign oil now is about $12, and domestic oil lower than that Solar, Geothermal and Nuclear energy are other possible sources, but costs and development lead time make them impractical for the production of any appreciable amounts in the near future. Mr. Bauer's contention was, "can the U. S. develop its resources to the point where it can eliminate the dependence on foreign oil, without the utilization of the facilities offered by U. S. oil companies?" So far as vertical divert it ure is concerned, Mr. Bauer pointed out that the oil industry, contrary to popular belief, is one of the most competitive industries in the country. For instance, he pointed out that there are more than 50 integrated oil companies, dealing in three or more levels of the industry. Under the divestiture bill, these would be limited to only one phase. But in production, no one company now produces more than 10 percent of the nation's petroleum products, while there is over 10,000 companies competing in ofl and gas exploration and production. In another area, no one company Continued on Foge 8a |
