Mrs. Tanner has pledged the first $500 of proceeds from the sale of the book toward the building fond of the Myton LDS ward. The book, titled Sense and Nonsense" Is a collection of Mrs. Tanners poems, filling more than 200 pages. Some are serious, some funny and some Just plain entertaining. The unique thing about her project, however, is the fact that the $500 Is about all the profit there will be on the book If all of the copies are sold. If not all copies are sold, she will be holding the bag for the printing costs, after donating the first $500 to the building fluid. At least she says she has had the thrill of getting the book out, and also helping with a good cause.

II 60 among Indians tabbed for special aid The Economic Development AdminisOffice of Economic Opportunity have announced that five Indian reservations were designated on July 1 as members of a Federal action program designed to enable tribes to plan and Implement economic and social growth. These designations will expand to 21 the number of action" reservations participating In the Selected Indian Reservation Program (SIRP), which Is based on and coordinated tribal EDA and OEO are Federal support. Joint sponsors of the program. OEO give action reservations special conderatlon for project funding. This fair share" supplements the agency's policy, under which funding of all eligible reservations Is made on a per capita tration and the basis. The designation affects the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, Utah, the Fort Apache, Fort Yuma, and Colorado River Reservations, all In Arizona; the Fort Peck Reservation, Montana. They have qualified for the SIRP action list because of their potential for substantial economic and social development and progress they have made In planning for growth and In working effectively with public and private sectors to Implement that planning. OEO has obligated about $34 million for Indian projects this fiscal year. EDA has obligated about $27 million for the same period. R Is too early to evaluate adequately the results of the EDA-OE- O action program, because It Is geared toward long range growth. But under this program, member tribes ' have demonstrated that they can effectively plan their future and coordinate available Federal and Private support. On the Navajo Reservation, for example, more than 2,000 Industrial Jobs have been created over the last few years with the help of EDA funds.

And while were on roads, we notice that work Is underway on the paving of Indian Canyon. Week before last crews began at the top of the summit and headed toward Duchesne with the black ribbon of pavement. As of Saturday, It appeared that about 1 12 miles were completed. We would hope that things will move faster as they move down the hill. If It doesnt they may be laying pavement under a blanket of snow In the early flail'' that some people are predicting. At any rate, the new canyon road Is sure an improvement over what we've had. THURSDAY, JULY lem." week. But If you think wait until they - 848M J.

Construction should begin by October. Testing on the twelve Inch, 200 foot deep well In loka was completed last In 48 hours of pumping, the Thursday. well produced 600 gallons per minute with 55 feet of draw down. This Is over double the designed user demand on the lines. Chemical analysis showed either no minerals at all or only a trace, except for Sodium, Sulfate, and Bicarbonate which are slightly higher and which may clear out somewhat with more pumping. Total hardness Is 50.0 mg1; 100.0 mg1 Is considered soft. For as many years as people In Myton and the surrounding form areas can remember, water to drink has been both scarce and poor in quality. Probably many can even remember when snow and Ice were melted in winter for drinking In more recent times, formers water. have built cisterns to store winter water supplies or used contaminated ditch water or expensive chlorinated water hauled by tank. Myton has open ponds for water storage which have at times, because of leaks in the lines, gone dry In the winter when no water was available to replace it. The Increasing number of leaks In the lines, however, Isnt the only problem requiring a solution. Open storage permits a variety of wildlife species to flourish, some of which will occasionally decide to migrate. Also, some areas in town are recently finding that water pressure Is foiling off for some not yet discovered reason. To bring conveniences to a modern fit corporation, Myton standard, a Water Association, was organized and a loan of $300,000 with a connecting grant of $354,000 has been approved by Farmers Home Administration to build some 54 miles of line, three enclosed concrete reservoirs, and to drill wells for a source of water supply. Before loan and grant funds are available, the Association must raise $54,000 In connection fees, about half of which has been collected. . Altamont contractor gets bid to build bridge Ned B.
