The Milford delegates have consistently been lauded by Boys State executives for their their earnestness and their eagerness during the Americanism, government and other indoctrinations, and for the put two years a Milford delegate has been awarded one of the Utah State University special scholarships. Only 35 of the 350 Boys Staters receive these scholarships. Milford Legionnaires say they "hope next year the eligible veterans of Milford will assist us with their memberships, so we can send at least 10 Milford boys to Boys State. The Utah American Legion Boys State, a program designed to teach young high school juniors the fundamentals of Americanism, Citizenship and Government, is recognized as THE outstanding Boys State of the nation, and in only sending five boys from Milford we are depriving five or more Milford High School students oi this great opportunity." The Milford High School Class of 1950 will hold reunion on July 24. their 15th-yeNo special entertainment is scheduled, but those attending will enjoy a dinner at 7:30 p. m. in the EleRoom, catered by Emma mentary School Rollins, and spend the evening reminiscing and visiting.

Temperatures were below normal most of the month. It seemed to me that we also had more cloudy weather than usual during June. The Big Flat rain gauge was read July 3. 2.35 inches of precipitation had fallen since May 26. Last year only 1.30 inches was recorded for June. The road to Big Flat is open. All the snow has melted from the openings, but there is still considerable snow in the trees on the north slopes.

Vern Wood, Twin-supervisor and chairman of the Minersville Watershed Committee, attended a State Watershed meeting in Richfield June 30. The Minersville Watershed Survey crew has swung into action. Dwight Miller, project engineer, reports that they are moving equipment into their office space in the Minersville City Hall. The survey crew, Stevens, consisting of Don Ralph Smith, John Carter and Bill Slack of SCS and Douglas Roberts and Robert Baker from the Neighborhood Youth Corps has started survey work for the Red Hills Debris Basin above Minersville. Plans have been laid to survey and design the Red Hills Debris Basin and the Big Wash Debris Basin this summer and fall. It is anticipated that construction contracts for this work will be ready for bidders in February. We are going to really miss Don Stevens on regular work. 1 want to publicly thank him for the good work he has done and I'm confident he will be a real asset to the Minersville Watershed. Douglas Rabbins of Fillmore will be transferred to the Beaver Work Unit to replace Don. Jobs completed this month include 14.2 acres of land leveling for Presley Whornham. 2 acres for Ronald Roberts and 9.7 acres for Acle Gillies; 2.323 linear feet of concrete ditch lining was installed on the Ron Bradshaw and Blake Smith farms. Ralph Pearson installed 900 linear feet of plastic irrigation pipe on his farm in the Milford Flat. This pipeline ties two irrigation wells together.
