Rex Curtis as the speaker for the November meeting in the Governor's Board Room at the State Capitol Building. Mr. Curtis is on the staff of the Cottonwood High School in Environmental and Conservation Education for the youth. He has supervised worshops for teachers in environmental ecology and is serving on the State Department of Education. He is also a participant in the Mill Hollow summer camp-i- n programs for the youth. Mill Hollow in the high Uintah's has been operating for the past eight years from June until deer season. Total visitors registered this year were 3600. Students visiting Mill Hollow find it not just a vacation for themselves but a learning experience also. There are dormitories, school lunch programs, a disposal system, a sewerage plant, water and recreational facilities such as archery, volley ball, hiking and many others. Mr. Curtis said the fifth and sixth grade students are taken for outdoor experience at Mill Hollow for one or two weeks to help them understand the environment by seeing and understanding what they see. They are shown what has to be done and what pollution does to the enviroment. They get the scientific values and are able to look at it with good common sense and not with a lot of emotionalism demanding things be done instantaneously which is not the best approach for the solution of many problems. The students study insects, leaves, fossils, flowers and make omm grass collections and learn not to harm the enviroment as well as learning replacement values. vs . r. it a m They write about the things they see and this in trun gets their parents involed. Economically man brings forth his own problems and the students approach the subject from this point of view which gets them to think. They discover for themselves the problems through actual field experience. Mr. Curtis further states that America consists of only 6 of the world's population but we use up 40 of the natural resources of the earth by our daily living habits. Modern life demands refrigerators, color television sets, (which takes more power than black mnd white) air conditioning units and many other luxuries, yet the enviromentalists block construction of power plants. Our desires must be modified or environment will pay the price, it is true technology is gradually doing much to clear pollutants from the air day by day but we cannot expect miracles overnight. Yes, man was put on the moon, but it took time and experience. Colored slides along with Mr. Curtis' commentary followed the lecture which showed insect damage, fungus growths, beaver dams; trees felled by the beavers for their dam construction and the willows sprouting forth from these tree roots which furnish feed for the moose. After the lecture and slide presentation, a vocial program was given by Marvin Sorenson and Mrs. Jewel Cutler, accompanied by Mrs. Edna Hamilton at the piano. Mrs. Sandra Lee Pickren was chairman of the meeting. The Federal Women's Annual Christmas Party was held on Saturday, December 9, at Four Seasons West, Salt Lake City.
