Before this canal was lined I couldn't flush my toilet." replied Loren Oliver, directory of the same company. "The ground water had risen so high my septic tank would not function and the motor on my culinary well was flooded. This is rne reason whv we have had to1 line this canal." : "I waited for several weeks after (he water was 'out of this canal to harvest my grain and I still got stuck, and my production was about 30 of what it should have been," said Reid Tippetts, prominent promi-nent farmer in the Sutherland area of the Delta Soil Conservation Dis trict and canal company director. Each had his own reasons, each knew it had to be done. Each knew that plastic membrane was probably prob-ably the answer to their problem.

ORA GARDNER Local Artist Exhhibits by Sebrina Ekins Mrs. Ora Gardner of Delta has been selected as the artist of the month at the M.E. Bird Recreation Center and has 15 of her oil paintings paint-ings on exhibit in the Millard School District Board Room. The exhibit is the first of a scries of exhibits requested by Mr. Don Hughes, and staff members. Mrs. Gardner's pictures will be h: display all month and anyone is welcome to come and lee the display. I-Irs. Gardner is a men.ber of the oil painting classes at the senior tizen Center being taught twice a weeK by Mrs. Myrtis isenmon. During the past two years Mrs. Gardner has painted about 50 pictures. pic-tures. When in school at the BYU train ing school she was encouraged to continue in art by Prof. B. F. Larsen but during her ear,ly life her main interest was in music and her family. Two years ago Mrs. Gardner started to paint seriously and finds the hobby very satisfying and a wonderful past time for her leisure time especially since the death of her husband, Fenton. Her four children, chil-dren, Richard, Jay, Maryetta and Lynn encourage her in her work and are delighted when they get one of her pictures as a gift. D.U.P. NOTES Annie Melville Bishop Camp, DUP, will meet Friday, Sept. 18, 2:00, p.m. at the home of Lemira Bishop. Co-hostess will be Fontella Bishop. So the Delta Canal Company went to work and completed more than 6,000 linear feet of this lining. This, coupled with 3,500 linear feet installed by the Abraham Company I during 1969 makes more than 50, 1 COO linear feet of this plastic membrane mem-brane lining that has been installed install-ed f.nd is presently operating in the Delta Soil Conservation District.

Removing trees and other f vegetation along the canal at the ' same time. Then a farm size trac-tor trac-tor using disc or harrows and finally fin-ally a roller, smooths and compacts the subgrade. When this is done, 10 mil plastic membrane is unrolled in the canal. ' To accompolish this a trailer hold-1 ing tho roll of plastic is hooked ; behind a farm tractor and the plastic plas-tic is unrolled into the bottom of , the canal. NppHIpks tn sav n miipt t. j i i ! npnrIv rv,anHatr,rv Depending on the width of the canal to be lined, one or two splices are made lengthwide of the canal. These splices are made by overlapping the plastic by about three feet and sticking together using an adhesive mastic tape. This membrane reaches from one side of the canal above the high water area to the other side where it is buried in a small ditch to hold it in place. 'When this is completed the soil that was cleaned out by the drag line and usually other soil borrow ed from drainage banks or nearby .fields is haulpd tn thP hank hvlnnrl "leveling equipment.

The tractor t,hat burrow through where the rock is. supplies the power is driven along the top of the bank while the tractor with the terrace blade works down the slope of the bank, back and forth, lengthwide of the canal, until the job is finished. The next step which consists of nearly 40 of the total cost of the entire project, is to haul rock to cover the soil to hold it in place on the 3:1 side slopes. When this has been hauled onto the bank by dump trucks it is bladed over the edge by road grader. Then two farm size tractors, one on either side of the canal, pulls between them either an anchor chain or a railroad rail that works the rock down the side of the canal. This operation is continued until the rock is distributed evenly over the inside slope of the canal. The velocity vel-ocity of the water in these canals is slow enough that it has not been found necessary to put rock on the bottom. ' This operation completes the lining unless livestock are expected nearby. If they are, the the canal is fenced on both sides.

Besides her collection of ribbons for her paintings she is proud of a gold plaque she received in 1960 at a State Farm Bureau convention in Salt Lake. The plaque was the Farm Bureau Distingished Service Award, at the same time a plaque was given to Congressman Aldous Dixon.

Larry Ashby Appointed ASS'T MANAGER I" f I MR. LARRY ASHBY Larry Ashby has been appointed an assistant manager of New York Life Insurance Company's Northern Arizona General Office in Phoenix, according to General Manager Mel-vin Mel-vin E. Tietjen, C. L. U. Mr. Ashby, a native of Delta, Utah, joined New York Life in 1968 as an agent. His outstanding sales record qualified him for the company's com-pany's Star Club. An alumnus of Arizona State University, his activities include the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Delta Sigma Pi. He and his wife, the former Pat Petersen, and their three children reside in Phoenix, Arizona. The plastic membrane projects in the Delta Soil Conservation District Dis-trict have been designed and specifications speci-fications established by the USDA's Soil Conservation Service. Federal cost sharing has been made available avail-able through the Millard Agricultural Agricul-tural Stabilization and Conservation Conserva-tion Service County Committee, and loans in previous years were made to the local companies by the Water . Resource Division of the Slate of Utah. Plastic membrane lining is a tried and proven method of canal lining. It isn't the answer to all problems, but for the large nearly flat cnals in the Delta area it certainly cer-tainly has found its place. This is because (1) it is relatively inexpensive inex-pensive compared with other materials; ma-terials; (2) its ease of installation; (3) avaliability of equipment, most cf which can be found in any locality; lo-cality; (4) the nature of the work is such that relatively inexperienced people can do the work; (5) much of the work can be done during the slack farming season, and (6) be cause freezing nighttime tempera- turps cause nQ serious problems in its installation, making possible either late fall or earlier spring construction than most lining materials. ma-terials. crn rnMccDVATinw ccDwirc ACCIDENT Tuesday.
