And water stored at a Honeyville dam site would be added to canals servicing the Honeyville and Bear River City areas to replace the water taken out for the new system. But the canal official said such a system would work only if water users owned the system. At one stop on the tour, SCS official Floyd Bailey told the group that there is about 12,000 acres of Class II-t- op which could be put under quality-la- nd irrigation. That estimate includes only lands north of Fielding to the Idaho border and east of the Malad. There is a total of about 15,000 acres which could be put under water. Rudd said the system farmers seem to favor best is a pressurized system which would lift water 400 feet out of Cutler Dam. But that arrangement would require some type of arrangement with Utah Power & Light. "We've got a host of problems to get over," Rudd admitted, "but we haven't got a bunch of mules to start digging a canal with," he added in reference to the first canal system constructed. Wildlife officials said a Honeyville dam Site would have definite recreational possibilities but were leary of the possibilities a site at Plymouth on the Malad would have. Little Red Rudd said the Plymouth dam site would create a reservoir of about 175,000 acre feet and provide two year's storage of water. But one question is whether mixing of Bear River and Malad river water would dilute the mineral content of the latter enough to make it usable for irrigation and recreational purposes. Rudd has suggested that a Plymouth dam site might create a "trade off" with the bird refuge. Water could be released to the refuge in the summer when it is low. A bird refuge official admitted that "one of our great needs is for storage capacity in summer." "He said the refuge would be "very concerned" over any water loss. And he pointed out that agencies like his have very often taken a negative position regarding dams because of the wildlife habitat which is destoryed. Rudd also raised the possibility of N crossing structure at using an the Plymoth Dam site as both a crossing and a dam. DOT officials on the tour were somewhat skeptical but admitted that it has been done in other places such as at the Deer Creek reservoir. The tour probably raised more questions than it answered. But Rudd said he wanted the various officials appraised of what is being attempted so that the same ground doesn't have to be plowed twice. School House Is No More Counselor Bear River High The days of confinement to the little red schoolhouse for learning the three R's may merely be a story told by grandparents for students at Bear River High. Bear River High School with its seven period day has always tried to offer the finest selection of classes available to its students. Next year's curriculum for which students have already registered, includes 280 class offerings. These offerings provide functional choices with greater flexibility in student scheduling. The problems of individual differences have been recognized and provided for through the availability of vocational classes. Vocational programs have been designed to aid the student with decision-makin- g in an age distinguished by rapid change and by an unprecedented expansion of knowledge. Specialized training for placement in a specific job is being offered daily to local students. At present, Bear River High School has approximately 75 students placed in work experience programs. This E Agent Says Defend Freedom Of Speech But... Editor:. Oregon Legislature to restrict alcohol advertising. Much is being made of your editorial pointing out that your paper refuses to run the ads, but is opposed to the law. This agency did not propose the law, but there is an impact on safety. Did you know that the Constitutional Amendment that abolished prohibition gave complete (plenary) power over alcohol to the States? Since it is a later Constitutional Amend , ment than the, Freedom of: theJRfess. Amendment .and; since a state could complete ly ban alcohol, it can do anything short of that. The Freedom of the Press should be defended when a product other than alcohol is involved. Gil W.Bellamy Administrator Oregon Traffic Safety Commission cision by the Utah Liquor Commission prohibiting advertising. It seems hypcriti-ca- l to ban advertising which would promote the use of liquor but not be willing to ban liquor altogether. We also question whether one 'constitutional amendment jgap have power overanoth- er and suggest that the time of passage of the amendment does not give it priority over another amendment unless it specifically repeals the previous amendment as in the case of prohibition. Your Man In Washington By U.S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch Marshall: Voice of Organized Labor With the confirmation by the U.S. Senate of F. Ray Marshall as of the Labor, Secretary "red flag" of danger is unfurled. Marshall is a captive of organized labor. His positions are not unlike those of a labor union operations manual. For example, Marshall supports the repeal of section 14b of the Act which gave the state of Utah the option of becoming a place where a man cannot be forced to belong to a labor union in order to keep his job. This is known as the " law. There are 20 states in the nation. Marshall would have those 20 states give up this freedom by repealing section 14b. Marshall also supports the concept of "comsitus picketing." mon Under this organized labor concept if one subcontractor's employees are not satisfied with working conditions at a construction project, for example, they could force a total work stoppage by simply picketing the entire site. would This approach labor's multiply organized bargaining power with management. At the same Taft-Hartle- "right-to-work- right-to-wor- . k time many neutral unconcerned workers, the dispute, would be forced off the job unnecessarily. Costs of alnMit con-Mrt- tion would skyrocket and unemployment in this already troubled industry would !)' further ag y gravated. In addition, Marshall supports some form of "unionization of the military." Extensive criticism by the Senate, however, forced him to waffle wildly from his original stance on the issue. This idea has all the earmarks of a comedy sketch from a T.V. series. Picture a G.I. running to a shop steward with complaints about orders issued by a tough first sergeant. Comical as it seems, this naive approach to military life, in a time of crisis, would leave us totally defenseless. Labor new Secretary favors "collective bargaining" and the "right to strike" for public employees arming them with the ammunition to force wages and benefits upward along with the costs of government. What is even more disappointing about this concept is the removal of the control of local government finance from the hands of elected officials. New York City is a primary case in point. Public employees, without ballot box accountability, The have become the manipulators of the purse strings; a system which is not in the public interest. With F. Ray Marshall as Secretary of Labor, the battle lines are drawn for a long and difficult battle for Utahns in a fight with organized labor for our basic rights. Farmer Support Reaffirmed At its regular monthly meeting in Sacramento on February Our drouth situation has not been changed much by our recent storms. The northern mountains have an accumulated precipitation " of 2.4 inches since October 1, 1976. This amount is 7.11 inches below normal or 25 percent of normal as of March 1. If we start now to plan for the worst in water situations and then the best comes, that's fine. But, if we plan for the best and then the worst comes, we will really have serious problems. It is a well known fact that weeds rob the soil of moisture needed by crops. This will apply equally whether we are referring to field crops or garden crops. Dry farmers who are accustomed to drouth realize this more than those who usually have enough irrigation wat- er. 'and ranchers are in,rthe' Board reaffirmed Harold Lindsay proper depth, weed growth is stopped. The mulching material should be applied after the garden plants have started to grow, or the term commonly used, "the garden is up." Farmers should start now to plan their weed control program. A combination of both mechanical cultivation and chemical control usually works best. The 1977 Chemical Weed Control Guide for Utah is now available in the Extension Offices. Folks with serious weed problems involving deep-rootperennial weeds such as bind weed (morning glory) may want to take advantage of the drouth to Clean Cultivate the infested fields. One good way to help conserve the water we have is to control the weeds. Don't plant any new ones in your seed. Next week I will discuss This year we should all be careful not to allow the weeds to drink the water save it for our gardens and food crops. Around the home, the most widely used weed control method is the hoe. The pulling method is widely used although not too successfully in some gardens. This year may be a good time to use mulches to help control weeds in addition to pulling and cultivating. A mulch can be in the form of straw, grass clippings, sawdust, bark shreds or chips and other materials. Plastic, especially black, is used for mulches. The black plastic will not allow weeds to grow where clear plastic will. Mulches will reduce water evaporation from the soil some other water-savin- g and if it is applied to the practices for the home yard. -- the Farm 24, Credit Board of Sacramento reviewed the serious drought conditions which exist in many areas of the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah, which are served by the Federal Land Bank of Sacramento, Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Sacramento, and Sacramento Bank for Cooperatives.

And if you're bald... you can drink it. The book even includes an "embalming mixture for the dead." It's not the same recipe as for the hair dressing. That title is a bit redundant, isn't it? Who else would you use embalming fluid on but a dead person? Right underneath the embalming fluid recipe is one for "A Positive Cure" for "Freckles or Tan." I wonder if the proximity of the two recipes right next to each other is any indication of the effectiveness of the freckles cure? I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a dead person with freckles. The book also includes a recipe for a hair restorative it touts as "the best hair restorative the world ever produced." That recipe also calls for bay rum.. .and ammonia. The recipe also includes the guarantee, "It does not grease the hat or collar of the coat." It certainly wasn't the dry look in those days. Ah, but there was a disclaimer. The final sentence reads, "If the above does not restore the hair, nothing will." And how about a cure for tobacco chewing: "A little gentian root (in the root), well masticated, the saliva being swallowed, after each meal, will soon take away all desire for chewing tobacco."

One-haof vinegar for the eggs and a pint with the balance is just sufficient vinegar for the whole."

For instance, listen to this recipe for what the book describes as a splendid hair dressing: "One ounce of the best bay rum, one ounce best brandy, five ounces best olive oil; mix and shake before using. Though the above is not a dye, it will nearly in every case restore the hair to its original color.

Letters To Editor program is patterned after the distributive education program that allows a student to leave school and work for two or three hours a day in a training situation in a business in the community. The Bridgerland Area Vocational Center offers the student relevant with industrial specialists and technically trained persons on the Utah State University Campus for either full day or part day study. Next year's offerings include a Simulated Office Practice class to be taught early mornings. This class will offer vocational opportunities to young men and women comparative to the training presently offered early morning in the Building Trades and Electricity Classes. Vocational programs on campus during the regular school day offer training to students in a variety of skills, to name just a few: the largest FFA Chapter in the State of Utah, Industrial Arts, Agriculture Construction, Shop Skills, Basic and Advanced Electronics, Drafting, Interior Design, Home Arts, Advanced Cooking, Advanced Sewing, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Business Machines, Agriculture Mechanics, and Engine Technology Classes. Special project classes are provided for the student who has a need or desire to do something not offered in the regular classroom. The above flexibility for student learning could not be possible without computer scheduling that is programmed through the State School Board's Computer Service out of Salt Lake City. When one recognizes that the 700 students have a possibility of being programmed into 4,900 classes, one can see the immensity of the "new" education process. It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun, but this certainly is a misnomer at Bear River High School, as we strive to provide the leadership which is so demanding in our society today.
