The State Highway Dept. is holding its annual planning meeting IntheSUSC recital hall next Wednesday evening. Someone should find out the status of 1-70, the pro-posed pro-posed change of route for UJS. 50, and what they're going to do with M Word's Main Street If the alunlte project goes. But then, Wed-nesday Wed-nesday is my night to work there is a wrestling match at the gym, and no one really cares for a nosy ol' editor butting into all these meet-ings, meet-ings, anyway. ed near Milford a few years ago? Why doesn't the game department try again? We could tell him the trout in Minersville get so big so fast because of the freshwater fresh-water shrimp that is natural to the water. But if the state continues its present poison -plant, poison -plant program, the shrimp are going to be completely gone and with them some great fishing. We could tell him that a few bass or plckerell could control con-trol the proliferous chubs, without endangeringthe trout fishery, and at the same time add another fishery to the county. Given sufficient time, we'd explain that if the state would open Minersville Reservoir year-round, instead of the big opening day, that it would . provide excellent . fishing most of the year. However, dumping seven to ten thou-s thou-s and people on this little body of water opening weekend wrecks it for several weeks and sometimes it doesn't recover until the dog days of summer, and there's no more good fishing until the crisp fall mornings get the trout to rise again. -0- There's all of this and more we'd like to discuss with Mr. Smith Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Beaver High School Auditorium. HERE'S MORE ABOUT JUST BETWEEN answers it in his own way, in his own words. You have no chance for rebuttal, or to rephrase a question that has been side-stepped or at least not answered as fully as you'd like. -0- So what, you say? Only eight people bothered' to speak at the alunite hearing, which carries the future of Beaver County, Milford, our offspring for several generations, gener-ations, and the fate of a $460 million project. Only eight .out of 80 present, and only four of them had made previous pre-vious arrangements as per the rules. Ninety percent of those In attendance set on their hands and listened. Had it not been for the 10 percent per-cent who would they have listened to? ; " "" -o- .'" " Well, Saturday we get down " to brass tacks.
