Sherwood Shores development is on Lake Texhoma near Dennison, Texas. How did Sherwood Properties, Inc. learn about the local islan l farm? Mr. Flinchbaugh, who has been in the water-front development business for approximately 18 years told the Chronicle Friday afternoon that he had read an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal advertising adver-tising the farm for sale. He answered ans-wered the ad and received by return re-turn mail a copy of the above aerial shot of the farm. He couldn' believe what he saw, this body of land surrounded by water in the middle of the desert, figuratively speaking. Mr. Flinchbaugh made a trip to Delta, liked what he saw and the possibilities the farm presented pre-sented for a resort-retirement development, de-velopment, purchased the farm land and began the project. The playground, swimming pool and boat ramp will be located immediately im-mediately east across the reservoir from the Millard County beach area.

Cleanup Campaign Underway Approximately 85 west Millard residents squirmed in their seats, made comments and became more de'.ermined to "cleanup" Delta Monday night as Dr. Arvil Stark, Utah State University, showed films made recently in Delta and the surrounding sur-rounding area of homes, businesses and vacant .ots. Some of the films shewed some of the nicer things in Delta City while others showed in detail the deteriorated condition of corrals, barns, vacant homes, rub-! bish and trash piles. The films! were shown at Delta High School' auditorium. Prior to the film presentation, ' the cleanup committee, section chairmen, block chairmen, Delta City Council members and Mayor Ned M. Church met with Dr. Stark ; and Marven Ogden, Millard County , Agent to firm up the organizational I and campaign plans of the com- J mittee. Objectives outlined in the com-! mittee meeting were two fold. Number one is to make the community com-munity neat, attractive and respectable re-spectable in appearance and number num-ber two is to remove all objectionable objection-able . views from the community landscape. To reach these objectives the committee adopted a plan of action of nine parts: (1) Organize districts (2) Stimulate interest (3) Prepare a community checklist check-list of work to be accomplished (4) Prepare a community inventory inven-tory (5) Analyze the campaign and establish priorities 6) Select projects for "kick-off" dates of March 5 & 6 (7) Sponsor a mass meeting Farmers Urged to Sign for '65 Wheat, Feed Grain Program Farmers who have not already signed up in the 1965 wheat and feed grain programs are urged to do so according to Gene A. Walker, Chairman of the ASC Committee. There have been at this time 156 feed grain producers and 343 wheat producers who have signed their intensions in-tensions to participate. Mr. Walker pointed out that about one-half of the feed grain payments due each producer upon request would be paid this Spring at the time of the sign up, but there would be no advance ad-vance under the wheat program. A measurement service is being offered through the ASCS Office whereby a farmer may obtain an accurate measurement of his diverted di-verted and planted acres. This is a safeguard of over and under planting plant-ing when participating in the farm programs. Producers will be expected to pay the cost of this service. NYC Plans Viewed By Soph.

The employment is to be provided by the Millard County and the various cities and the projects completed are those which will be helpful to the community and which ordinari ly would not be done. Compensa tion of $1.25 per hour will be made to the employees with the Federal Government participating 90 and the local governments 10 for the next two years. Mr. Fowles teaches this class each Monday at 7:30. The next class will be March 8 in the library. Parents having questions concerning concern-ing job opportunities will be given a chance to discuss them.

At that time the commi.tee will evaluate the accomplishments, en-ier en-ier awards programs and prepare a new campaign for 1966. Dr. Stark said that Delta was off to a good start and urged committee commit-tee members to remember that a "kickoff" was only the beginning. He said if the committee did not receive some criticism then it will be falling short of its goals. He continued that cleanup committees were not attempting to toe dictatorial dicta-torial in their work but were attempting at-tempting to change a way of life. He charged the committee to get organized to the "nth" degree on the coming kickoff dates of March 5 & 6. He complimented the Delta group for having the largest organizing group present that he had ever attended at-tended and said that the primary purpose of such committees was to make Utah a more desirable place to live.
