Wallis Today a friend walked into the Express office and left me a delightful de-lightful surprise. It is a little witch made from a large baby food jar, a wooden ball with a flat bottom, scraps of Halloween fabric, felt and some fake white curly hair. The wooden ball is painted pink and a bewitching face is painted on it, then it is glued on the lid of the baby food jar. The witch hat is made from a half circle of black felt glued to a point and then glued onto a large circle of felt. Fake curly hair is glued on top of the head and the hat glued on top of the hair. A 12 by 3 12 inch piece of Halloween fabric is sewn together, gathered along one long edge and glued around the bottle lid. A shorter short-er piece of black fabric is also gathered gath-ered and glued around the neck of the witch to make a cape. It is tied in front with a satin bow. Of course the bottle is filled with irresistible peanut M and M's. It is now empty, but the little witch is still smiling sweetly. Thank you, Dorothy Hein. You made my day! Vernal City i SECRET !

Dr. Evans is coming to Vernal to help set up a DNA lab at USU's Uintah Basin Campus to facilitate genetic studies of the cutthroat trout in Sheep Creek. The application of DNA technology technolo-gy is becoming widespread in society. soci-ety. Dr. Evans' presentation will help those interested in this subject understand the fundamentals behind DNA analysis and how it is currently current-ly being used to study and preserve fish populations in the Uintah Basin. He will also report on some of the work using DNA technology in the study of ancient Egyptian mummies. His presentation is designed to interest the university community rep.
