Wayne Francis, water commis- - sioner discloses. This report along with one released re-cently by the Soil Conserva-tion Service indicates that this area and the entire state, un-less weather conditions change considerably, has a poor water supply outlook for next sum-mer. Total water stored in the Strawberry Reservoir as of De-cember 31, is 149,540 acre feet. The maximum year of record was 1952, when the reservoir had 241,000 acre feet at this time of year while in the low-est year on record 1935, the reservoir had but 17,310 acre feet. The past ten-ye- ar over-age is 157,578 ' acre feet. The snow cover on the Strawberry water shed is pre-sently about two inches at East Portal and 3 inches at Strawberry Divide, according to the water commissioner which makes this watershed along with some of the poorest packed in the state. At this time in 1958, snow at East Portal measured 24.1 inches and 38 inches at Straw-berry Divide. The maximum came with the high wintei snows of 1952 when there were 37 inches at East Portal and 57.6 inches at Strawberry Di-vide. The average snow coverage over the past ten years is 18.1 inches at the East Portal and 30.4 inches at Strawberry Di-vide. Precipitation in the valley area was but .95 inches in De-cember and 3.76 inches for the Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 period. This compares to 1.81 inches Dec. 1957 precipitation and 5.07 for the 1957 three month period. The ten year average in the valley is 1.94 inches precipita-tion for December and 4.77 inches for the Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 period.

The ladies of the club re ported that the looks and words of appreciation given by the elderly people more than paid them for every effort and hour of work they had given. lw-- , -- t:'" v -- i ' ' ' J -- , r- - . f v " ' j . . y- .. lm& . - ' ? t;x ' A summary of the extra ef-fort put forth by a group of young mothers to make Christ-mas and the holidays a happier time for less fortunate folks, makes a fine story of service to others. As early as November, the JC Wives, many of whom have rather large families of little ones, began sewing a wardrobe for a doll to be given away at Christmas. When the doll was completed, they sold and also bought tickets on it, many making a house to house canvass. With the money from the doll project, they purchased outing flannel, approximately 300 yards, together with thread and some trimming, and cut and sewed 86 nightgowns for the patients at Sunset Manor. The 86 gowns were all d and taken to the pa-tients along with cookies and punch which the girls had made. They also arranged a program and took Santa Claus along to cheer the elderly tients. This would seem quite enough, but in addition, the club sent a holiday greeting card to every patient. Appearing on the program of dance and music were: Trina and Pataricia Carlson, LeAnn Gustavson, Debra Bishop, Su-- ; san Biesinger, Jean Marie Bleggi, Kathleen Collett, De- - Pamela Forshee, daughter of Sir. and Mrs. Ed Forslice, had to wait until after she got over the mumps to have her picture taken with the JC Wives doll she won for Christmas. The doll project raised funds to buy cloth to make gowns for the pa tients at Sunset Manor. Mrs. Bud Herbert, left, was chairman; Sirs. Glenn Robinson, center, of the project. The dolls wardrobe contained 25 complete chan-ges all made by the JC wives club. Springville Lady, 83, Compares First Airplane Trip Vith Earlier Travels Mrs. Ella Reynolds, celebrat-ing her 83rd birthday the twentieth of this month, had one of the thrills of her life-time when she took her first plane ride from here to Las Vegas on a gift ticket from her daughter and son-in-la- Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Mendenhall whom she visited. A grandson Russell Hales accompanied her down and the Mendenhalls brought her home by car. Upon her return, Mrs. Rey-nolds declared it was just as much of a thrill as when hei grandfather let her ride as s child, on an ox-dra- load o; hay. Those were the times when it took a full day to travel to the west fields and back and Mrs. Reynolds made the trip to Las Vegas in an hour and twenty minutes. She said the airplane trip also compared favorably with the thrills she had as a young girl riding in horse-draw- n sleighs with bells ringing and also with her first auto ride with her father, who owned one of the first ten cars in Spring-ville. All these modes of travel, Mrs. Reynolds has experienced in her life time and each has brought a big thrill, but for ease and comfort and a decided saving of time, she will take the most modern means of transportation. j Election Meeting JBy Community Church Planned Annual congregational meet-ing of the Springville Commun-ity Presbyterian church will be held Monday, Jan. 12 at the u church, the Rev.
