Little girls cultivate king-sized watermelon Lerinda Atwood, 5, and her sister Leesa, 3, will harvest a big dividend in the form of a 22 pound watermelon that cgme from a tiny seed they planted last spring. The little girls were encouraged to plant a row or two in the family garden by their parents, Brad and Carrie Atwood. Along with their melons are cantaloupe,- corn and squash lovingly tended by the young gardners. The Atwoods, who live in Davis, started the melon seeds in little planters during the first part of March. The plants were set out in May. "We were really surprised how well the watermelon and cantaloupe have done," said Mr. Atwood. Lerinda and Leesa spent many hours weeding and watering their garden and are now looking forward to eating the fruits of their labor. In puzzling over whether or not the melon was ripe, Mr. Atwood's aunt told him about a method of testing the fruit with a broom straw. If the dry straw bends when laid over the melon, then it is ripe. Leesa said next year she would like to plant some flowers. Lerinda, however, is ready to plant another garden. & Many weeds growing in America today arrived from Europe in soil used as ballast in ships coming to the new country for cargoes. Ballast dumping has sowed weed seed from Europe all around the coasts of the U.S. NOTICE OF ELECTION The Fatmeis Home Adminisuation (FmHA) County Committee election this yeu will be held on 82286 The ballot below must be filled out, detached and mailed and received or returned in person to 80 North 500 I'l not later than 82286 If you do not vote in person you should mail your ballot inside a blank envelope maiked ballot to ensure a secret ballot.

This new policy was the unanimous decision of the Uintah School District board members at their Aug. 14 meeting. The extension of the closed campus policy to include schools in the entire district came after extensive discussion discus-sion on the attendance and truancy policy presented by Bill Caldwell in an Aug. 7 report. The change to include the lunch hour as a time when students could not leave the campus without a pass was the major modification in the original policy.. "We feel the board reflected the feeling of the general public in this decision," stated Superintendent Phil Ellis. The policy goes into effect immediately. The policy also included explicit disciplinary action which would be taken if students did not conform to the truancy and attendance rules. With minor modifications, the board approved the wording in the agreement agree-ment to sell their share of the Union High School to the Duchesne School District. The agreement allows the Uintah west side students to attend Union until the year 2000 when both districts will meet to decide how to best provide education for west side students. If the wording is acceptable to the Duchesne district, the agreement agree-ment will be signed by both district in the near future. Negotiations with teachers and administrators ad-ministrators were approved. Ellis announced an-nounced that Uintah was the third district in the state to complete negotiations. Transportation of students to extra curricular activities and the costs involved in-volved were discussed. Wilkins busing has been charging $1.40 per mile to transport Uintah High School students. The district costs, using school buses, would be between 91 cents to $1.01 per mile. However, the school buses do not have reclining seats and other amenities that the Wilkins buses have. It was suggested that the high school could choose which buses they would use depending on the activity and the times of return. The policy will be discussed further at the next board meeting. Doug Lawsen was given the go ahead to provide schools with soft-drink soft-drink machines. Tom Howells questioned ques-tioned the legality of awarding this vendor to Lawsen without opening it for bids. It was the decision of the board that the Coca Cola company was providing a service not a product and voted in favor of the local company providing the service. Other items approved by the board were new district employees, drug prevention, adult high school graduation gradua-tion and community use of facilities belonging to the school district. The next board meeting will be Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the school board offices. Meeting and Elections Basin Drug-free Youth 7:30 p.m. State-County Bldg.
