More articles will be coming up. The dominant message: With water supplies drastically cut this year due to drought, everyone is going to have to save water now or suffer the consequences in the crucial summer period. Last week's snowstorm helped, both in the valleys and in the mountains. But the problem still Each city has its own problem. In Provo, the water department is using considerable well water to save its storage rights for use in peak summer demand. officials expect availability irrigation water to be down as much as 50 per cent. They are looking at water use restrictions this summer. If every household will conscientiously conserve water, the summer crunch will be less severe than otherwise forecast. For example, here are some of City of exists. "Something has made the crust rapidly; it's quite from our point of spectacular view." Dr. Robert 0.

"The bad news is that if the drought keeps up, within a few years we'll all be drinking reclaimed sewer water. The good news is that there won't be enough to go around." Bill Miller, director of administration for the Denver, Colo., Water Department. "President Carter can assure that we will be defended if we are attacked and that we don't need to spend too much money on ... defense, that we can spend it on economic development, that we will be helped in our efforts to rectify the injustices committed by the American government us Conserve water in the by running less water kitchen the drain when filling a glass for a drink, rinsing the dishes, or other uses. Save water in the laundry by waiting for a full batch of clothes before running the washer and engaging in any of several other water-savin- g devices. Cut outside use of water. Avoid overwatering of lawns and gardens. Never leave the water running when you leave home on an errand. Water in evening hours to cut evaporation and get fuller value from sprinkling. Don't let the hose run while you wash the car; instead, fill a bucket with warm water, scrub the car down, and use the hose only for rinsing. One final bit of advice: Don't down wait until summer to start against our products like conserving. Begin now, and en- family in this.

(3) President Carter's sudden advocacy of an ambiguous "defensible borders" concept for promoting peace in the Middle East. This idea, strongly suspect to both sides, has yet ( 1 500-lb- -- tmv, 9imfi& m unhaptYover c&m m&,-- to be clearly defined. The President had a go at it with little result, and to a lesser extent so has Secretary of State Vance. Both if patently avoided spelling it out in detail that's possible, which is distinctly doubtful. All signs point to its being a nebulous "option" being tossed around in inner administration circles in the hope something might come of it. A congressional skeptic summed it up as follows: "This is another instance of Jimmy talking first and explaining afterwards. He has a strong predilection for doing that, and it almost always gets him into a jam." The administration is being put oluntly on the spot to explore exactly how even handed its Middle East policy is. This test is as explicit as the crackdown on selling Israel concussion bombs. The administration is being asked to call off a deal to provide Saudi Arabia with $1.14 billion in improved Hawk missiles among the world's best anti aircraft weapons. This request is being made by Rep. of the Interna-tioBenjamin Rosenthal, Political and Military Affairs Subcommittee and one of the most aggressive Israeli partisans on Capitol Hill. In a polite but firm letter to Secretary Vance, Rosenthal spells out exactly what is sought, and makes no bones about it. "This Hawk deal (to sell 580 additional missiles) poses a serious threat to the strategic balance of the region," says Rosenthal. "The number and sophistication of these missiles are well beyond the Saudis' realistic defense requirements. There is also the problem of transferability. Saudi Arabia is already underwriting Jordan's purchase of missiles, which alters that country's power balance with Israel. "I strongly urge you to deny export licenses for the commercial sale of the missile. Such action would be consistent with President Carter's avowed efforts to restrain the Middle East arms race, and, in view of the recent cancellation of the sale of concussion bombs to Israel, it could not be viewed by the Saudis as a one sided action." There it is. A clearcut showdown. missiles for concussion Tit for tat, n bombs. Wrote Rosenthal: "Saudi Arabia is engaged in building one of the largest and aircraft missile most formidable anti systems in the Middle East, if not the entire world. If current sales programs continue as planned, that country will have nearly 1,200 improved Hawk missiles, among the most sophisticated and deadly weapons of its type in existence today." Or to put it another way, just how is even-handed- ? Next move is up to President Carter. T 1.

They might as well stay home. If what's past is prologue, the Russians will manage to win by hook or crook. The world's earliest athletes in Sparta and ancient Rome literally "ran for their lives." In athletic competition, back when the Olympics began, the winners won no big Marriage And Russia's weightlifters came to the event bloated with steroids. When the World Aerobatic Championships were held in Kiev in 1976, the Soviet hosts rigged the judging, changed the rules during the competition and managed to award top team and top individual prizes to Russians. The Americans who have bested the best of the Russians in every competition outside not wanting to create an Russia international bruhaha, bit their lips and went but they were otherwise money motivated The losers were put to death. Russia takes athletic competition almost that seriously today. Look at the face of Olga Korbut when she competes; in her face you can see the importance Russia puts on winning! Chicago Tribune sportswriter Rick Talley has been doing some investigative reporting on this subject. He confirms that they don't play fair. He says they are, in fact, "the most accomplished, blatant cheaters in the history of sport." d his Examples: Boris Osenenko dueling sword in the Montreal games of 1976.

But later in aerobatics magazine specific incidents of Soviet chearing were related. One Soviet judge, for example, scored several Soviet flights without once looking at the aircraft in flight! American team manager Bob Carmichael said, "It's difficult to describe how brazen those people are, how determined to claim : OURS, not HIS. victory however unfairly." Talley figures that evpn NBC will rue the day it paid the Russians $85 million for broadcast rights to these next games, expecting that Russia will also demand and get dozens of Soviet edited "cultural hours" on that network showing the world the "unblemished beauty" of the Soviet Union. And the first time an American announcer dares to question Soviet cheating, somebody will pull the plug.

Blacks Talk Alliance SALISBURY, Rhodesia -Bishop Abel Muzorewa of the United African National Council and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole are talking about a possible alliance which some of their followers believe would command the support of 90 per cent of black Rhode-sian- s. Lieutenants of the two men met recently in Malawi to explore the possibility. Muzorewa and Sithole suffered setbacks earlier when the black African frontline states opposing Rhodesia's white minority government gave their support to the rival Patriotic Front, led by Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo.

It is not uncommon to read or hear criticism of the police and yet few people take the time to thank the police when it is warranted. As a small seasonal business, our motel here in Provo operates on a very slim margin during the winter months. Recently I discovered that through the efforts of Detectives Brown and Dean at the Provo Police Department, our small business was able to recover nearly four hundred dollars in bad checks that we had received over the winter.

Steve Strong Assistant Manager Rome Inn Molel Questions Carter's Sincerity on Rights Editor Herald: Jimmy Carter promises a foreign policy which, among other things, reflects fundamental American ideals of justice and personal freedi m - what he calls "our deep and unchanging commitments to basic human rights." President Carter's stand on promoting human rights appears to me to be nothing more than grandstanding. Most hypocritical of all in the area of human rights is the President's lack of moral courage in speaking out strongly against the Supreme Court's decision to permit legal abortion on demand., In the mind of most Americans, fetuses are human and have rights too. Rights that are being hideously denied. Of what value then are moral platitudes when they are being so unevenly applied1 C. Douglas Beardall 370 W. 300 S. Provo |
