This is a bookkeeping service for small businesses; Mrs. Battey will not do tax work this year, but may later on., Tax work is such a specialized field, that she wants to get better acquainted in the community and more involved in her work before she tackles it.

She has had bookkeeping experience in financial statements, supervision supervis-ion of office personnel, payroll and all types of logistical reports and inventory. Mrs. Battey's husband, Ralph, works for the Wineglass Wine-glass outfit, and they have one son, John, in high school here.

GOBLIN VALLEY Visitation to Goblin Valley State Reserve in January 1976 totaled 92 people with 7 people camping overnight. Visitation for the month was up by 87o and camping saw a 17 increase over the same period in 1975. I would attribute the increase to the almost spring like weather we have been experiencing during the month. However it is still cold at night, but daytime temperatures tempera-tures are in the high forties and low fifties. The opening of the restroom facilities at the park is tentatively set for March 1, 1976. Camping, picnicking and hiking are still permitted even though the restroom is closed. On the evening of January 13, 1976 a recreation vehicle program was presented to the people of Hanksville. Topics covered were the registering procedure of recreation vehicles, vehic-les, recreation vehicle safety and where the money goes from the registering of such vehicles. On the afternoon of January 15, 1976 a recreation vehicle safety program was presented to students at Wayne County High School. The idea behind the presentation was to make people aware of problems that could possibly happen to people unexpectedly. Also some ideas were presented on ways to become better prepared prepar-ed before going afield. I would also like to state that it is getting that time of year when 1976 registeration for recreation vehicles is almost due. Keep in mind that recreation vehicles can be registered from January 1 to December 31 and shall expire on the last day of February. Consequently on March 1, 1976, all recreation vehicles, with the exception of snowmobiles snow-mobiles will display a 1976 sticker. POSSE PALS The Green Posse Pals entertained their husbands at their annual banquet held at the home of Rollie and Jean Thompson. Twenty-three members and friends attended. attend-ed.
