The SCS report continues that the watershed is extremely steep, with shallow soils and rock outUtah-Wasat- ch lt cropping which even under virgin would constitute conditions a flood hazard. However, lush canyon vegetation once slowed the runoff, but now denuded slopes and gullies have speeded the waterfall, stepped up erosion and the movement of sediment, and increased the destructive power of flood runoff. The watershed has two flood seassons. Cloudbursts in July and August rarely reach the valley (although Lehi felt the effects of such a flood in 1952) but move a large volume of sediment into channels, which, in the spring is carried downstream by melted snow to cause serious damage. This sediment blocks the natural channels, causing dangerous overflow from the streams and irrigation systems. Sediment dam age extends far out on the flood plain. Several ..sgrjpus. and .. damaging floods have already occurred in the watershed area, deteriorating the watershed and creating the possibility of even more dangerous floods in a high-watyear. The SCS has recommended planting of vegetation in high basins and steep slopes in the gullied heads of Deek Creek, Dry Creek, Box Elder, Major Evans, Mary Ellen, Sageflats and other areas. Contour trenching, channel stabilization and construction of flood water control and sediment retension basins are also recommended. ever-deepeni- er Lehi Residents Invited to Enroll For 1956 Birthday Calendars Lehi families, clubs and ogani-zatiowill again be given the opportunity to subscribe for the annual birthday calendar to be published for 1956. Headed by the Fourth Ward Elders' Quorum, with Darwin Miner as chairman the project will be supported by the other Elders groups in the stake. ' The 1956 calendar will be decorated with an attractive view of the new Ward chapel. On each day of the month will be inscribed - the various birthdays, wedding anniversaries, club dates and the dates of events slated by the community and church organizations. It will provide, at a glance, a reminder to send that card or remembrance to your neighbor or friend away from home. Besides that, through the advertisers, it will bring bonus gifts far in excess of the actual cost of the calendar itself. Everyone whose name appears on the calendar will be wished a happy birthday over Radio Station KOVO in Provo. Besides that there is a possibility of obtaining some $5 worth of prizes by contacting the various advertisers on the proper day, and bringing calendar proof. ( At SARATOGA, a free swim and free pass to all rides will be presented to listed patrons on birthdays while Saratoga is open. This is a $2 value. At STATE STREET DRUG, a free root beer float will be presented on your birthday during September. Name on the calendar is proof. FRANK'S UTOCO SERVICE offers a 50 per cent discount on lubrication for each car owner listed on the calendar. This is a 75 cent value. SAUNDERS HARDWARE in American Fork will give a 10 per cent discount on purchases made on the birthdays of patrons listed on the calendar. This is a 10 Third-Seven- th An urgent appeal is being sent out this week to all citizens in the community to support the Red Crosss Eastern States Flood Dis- aster Relief Fund Campaign. According to E. Russell Innes, Lehi chairman, the quota for Utah County has been set at $ 2,135. In order to reach this quota, it is necessary to ask the aid of every family. Saturday Set as Flood Fund Day Saturday, Sept. 3, has been set aside as Utah County Red Cross Flood Disaster Fund Day. Containers will be placed in business houses to receive voluntary contributions on that day, and in the chapels on Sunday. Contributions will also be accepted at any time at the Free Press office. According to chairman Innes, it is the aim of the organization to attain the quota through voluntary subscriptions and avoid conducting a formal canvass. E. Roland Harriman, national chairman, personally attended the meeting of governors with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Harriman reported as follows : "The President and the governors of the flood states spoke in glowing terms of the work the Red Cross has done so far and made it quite clear that they all were relying on the Red Cross to carry on its relief to families since by law the government cannot assist them directly. After the meeting, the President made the most compassionate public appeal, urging the American people to come to the aid of their fellow citizens through the Red Cross. He used the phrase that everyone would sleep better tonight if they contributed to the best of their ability. At the close of the session he suited his words by handing in his personal generous contribution. The governors also individually and collectively promised their full support. In spite of this heart warming experience, I fully realize that to accomplish our purpose we must jointly and severally work hard on our fund drive. The need is pos-sibi- ly great.
