Show University assists in projects of archaeology Brigham Young University is working hand in hand with industry in-dustry to help preserve Utah's archaeological heritage in the face of exploration for new sources of gas and oil. Dr. Dale L. Berge, BYU assistant professor of anthropology an-thropology and archaeology, recently directed excavation of an ancient Fremont Indian dwelling on a site near Escalante, Garfield County, where AMOCO Production Co. of Denver, Colo., plans to drill in search of gas or oil or both. The archaeological work was sponsored by AMOCO. Dr. Berge said he and four graduate archaeology students salvaged hundreds of artifacts from the site including arrowheads, potshreds, mano and metate grinding stones and portions of wall from a small mud and stick structure dating back to between 1000 and 1100 A.D. Freemont Indians were a semi-nomadic people who lived almost exclusively within the bounds of what is now Utah from about 700 to 1250 A.D., the professor said. "The small, seven by seven-foot, seven-foot, wattle and dab structure that once existed at the excavation ex-cavation probably was used seasonally by the Indians as they moved around to hunt and gather nuts, berries and seeds," Dr. Berge explained. "We salvaged many valuable artifacts ar-tifacts and learned a great deal about construction of wattle and daub houses." Finger and hand prints are still visible in the wall fragments collected by the archaeologists. Dr. Berge said excavation of such endangered sites is being conducted in conformance with state and federal antiquities acts. He explained that such sites do not necessarily have to be preserved, but if archaeologists ar-chaeologists are called in before the sites are ruined by exploration ex-ploration or construction, the ancient history of the state can be recorded and many priceless artifacts can be salvaged. "I think that the energy crisis is going to create more and more emphasis on oil production and the resulting exploration will - undoubtedly affect many archaeological ar-chaeological site's,'' the professor noted. "AMOCO and other commercial enterprizes should be commended for taking the initiative in supporting our antiquities acts," he continued.

Budget work by committees finished as session nears end Representative-District 40 By Martin Conover Our work is now finished on the budget and our committee succeeded in reducing our portion of the budget by about $800,000 from what the governor was asking. We have been working on the Highway department, National Guard, Civil Defense and Highway High-way Patrol budgets. In floor action which will occupy the remainder of the session, which must end at midnight Saturday, many matters have yet to be discussed. The abortion bill is presently on the floor of the house and jurisdiction over the site, but they will be kept at BYU for display in the Museum of Archaeology Ar-chaeology and Ethnology and for educational purposes. 9 M K 2) SPRINGVILLE 191 SOUTH MAW - 7449 Springy! h) 3 Springville, should be decided in Wednesday action. At the present time there is no law in the state of Utah regulating abortions and I feel the state needs as strict a law as possible to regulate the performing per-forming of abortions. The law passed by the legislature last year was ruled unconstitutional by the federal courts. Land use is also causing some concern with local residents. I have not yet made up my mind about this issue. I want to first better understand where the federal government sits in relationship to land use and what the alternatives are if we decide to kill this issue. No fare mass transit passed the house although I voted against the measure. This bill will now go to the senate and should the senate pass the measure it will appear as a constitutional amendment on the November .ballot. The house also killed a measure which would allow the legislature to meet in annual general sessions of 60 days. As usual most of the important issues will be coming up near the end of the session and I will let you know the outcome next week.

Utah Knit Shop . i Utah 84663 A new student-oriented safety program, designated as the Green Pennant Traffic Safety Program, will soon be placed in effect at the local elementary schools under the direction of the Springville PTA organizations. The program is aimed at making every student of each school conscious of the vital need of safety. The program will be in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at home, at play and at school, Mrs. Jane Giles, safety chairman at Grant school, said. A film will be shown during the first part of the month of February and the green pennant will be raised with the aid of the local police department. Each school may fly their pennant as long as there is no accident in that school. At the end of the school year those schools with perfect safety records will receive a Perfect Safety Award certificate. Large green safety pennants embossed with the image of a school safety patrol boy will be given to each school here and in Mapleton to signify accident-free accident-free participation. Each school must earn the right to fly its' pennant on the school flagstaff by completing 30 consecutive days without a student-related accident The Springville Police Department will determine when a school should lower its pennant. Nationally the program is operated under the sponsorship of General Motors in over 900 cities in 48 states with more than 4.1 million students in nearly 8000 schools participating.

Representative Representative Ray Nielsen of Fairview, Utah, reported that the Natural Resources Subcommittee Sub-committee of the State Budget and Audit Committee has recommended an appropriation of $2 million to the Revolving Construction Fund of the Utah Board of Water Resources. This action was taken on the basis of a Motion made by Mr. Nielsen at the Committee meeting last Thursday, and was passed unanimously. Mr.TNielsen commented that conservation and wise use of our water resources is a very vital need throughout the State, and especially in Utah and Sanpete Counties. Mr. Nielsen represents Sanpete and southeastern Utah Counties in the State Legislature. The program of the Board of Water Resources makes money available to local irrigation companies and other groups for wells, pipelines, dams, canals, sprinkler systems, and similar projects. RISE IK PRICES at I ii m MIEN'S inn iiiii mil I I CLEANERS I Governor sets new program Urging Utahns to work together to make our state and communities a better place to live, Utah Governor Calvin Rampton has announced the formation of a new program to coordinate and encourage that process. Utah Community Progress is the new plan that will help local community leaders plan a logical pattern for growth and development, and for those towns that need it, a shot in the arm. "In Utah, as in every other state, people are leaving our small towns to move to the cities," Governor Rampton said. "This migration leaves parts of rural Utah with a dwindling economy and a bleak future. At the same time, the cities cannot easily handle the booming growth. "To help solve these problems, we've created Utah Community Progress. In this way, we as Utahns can make a real effort in time for our Nation's 200th birthday in 1976 to improve our quality of life," the Governor explained. One aspect of the new program will be cash awards to communities that excel in the categories of most overall progress, intergovernmental cooperation, planning and initiating, human relations and cultural enrichment, economic development, physical environment, en-vironment, and community service. Governor Rampton urged all local community leaders, if they haven't done so already, to obtain a copy of the Utah Community Progress workbook by contacting the Department of Community Affairs, 101 State Capitol Building, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114. Many a man creates his own lack of opportunities. Nielsen answers The Revolving Fund was created in 1947; and since the that time more than 300 projects have been constructed, totaling $37 million." Of this amount, the Board of Water Resources has advanced $16 million. According to Representative Nielsen, this program, though modest in scope, has had a catalytic effect on the economic development of central Utah and the entire State; and, for this reason, he has supported it, and has pushed strongly for conservation con-servation of all of our natural resources. He noted that in Sanpete County 28 projects have been built, with a savings of 18,000 acre-feet of water annually; and the Board of Water Resources has invested $800,000 in water conservation in the County.
