Show J.i IV .'.I'1 141 PIi.4.-- SALT LA j.. JL i , . 4:1 SSSSanUintah Basin VOLUME Long Standing Stalemate Broken At Last Action by1 the Carbon County Board of Commissioners recently ended' a long stalemate over two roads that link the Uintah Basin and Highway 40, with Highway 50 that passes through Carbon County. For several years the Price Chamber of Commerce has been road, and promoting the Nine-Mil- e Helper interests have fought for the Indian Canyon road as the connecting link between these two national, highways. The western end of Duchesne County has joined Helper in their contention that Indian Canyon was the most practical in that it would not cut them off the connecting road. The east part of the county remained partially neutral, but did favor Indian Canyon. Requested Decision A representative from Price and road area met with the Nine-Mil- e the' commissioners Dec. 21 and requested a decision. The long standing controversy between Helper and Price stemmed from needed improvements to either Utah Highway 53 (Nine-Mi- le road), or Utah Highway 33 (Indian Canyon road). Following a long discussion, the commission unanimously approved improvements for the Nine-Mil- e is road. Their recommendation tantamount to State Road Commission authorization. Desired Recommendation The delegates from Price and area simply desired the Nine-Mil- e the commissions recommendation. They were not essentially interested in the amount of money to be spent nor when construction improvements would begin, it was explained. Price is expected to benefit from th road because of increased tourist trade leading from Denver to Salt Lake City. When the road is finally completed an link will be provided through Price to the west coast. Scout Circus For Moon Lake Is Set For Feb. 6th Boy Scouts of Moon Lake Dis- Circus?

Research has gathered much evidence to school lunches Strict attention A very active pre season basketball season has ended by high schools in the Uintah Basin, and and players, coaches, students fans are geared for the grand opening of league play this week. Tomorrow night, Jan. 6, Union will be host to Tabiona, and Altamont travels to Duchesne to get things going. Uintah draws a bye. The sportscasters on the Deseret about ten days ago reviewed the different schools problems, which included major losses from last year, and listed new players that are reported on the squad for 1956. They also stuck their necks out by picking who will win the honors and the' order other teams will finish. The Utes from Uintah are picked as the team most likely to represent this area in the March B tournament, with AlUnion, third; tamont, second; Duchesne, fourth, and Tabiona in fifth. Suffered Loses In the event Veloy Eaton, Uine tahs nominated player for sera recovers from honors, ious illness he sustained nearly two weeks ago,- - and is able' to return to the Ute lineup, they could easily fulfill the' prediction and successfully defend the honors they won in 55. However, with Eaton out of the lineup, Uintah has a green, inexperienced team, and to win the top honors, would not be done without a real battle. Theyll miss Eaton, which is a tough loss if he is unable to finish out his senior year. When Unions Snellen Johnson, star center who was looking mighty sharp in the few games he participated in, broker his ankle early in December, Unions chances of a winner one suffered a terrific shock that it is doubtful they will recover from sufficiently to bring home a winner. However, Coach Glen Allred has a lot of good kids, and if they start to function, they could easily be the dark horse. So far the Cougars have failed to look very impressive as an offensive team, but have shown considerable strength defensively. Altamont Could Win Its not a bad prediction to place Altamont at the top of the heap if Vernals Eaton is out for the season. Coach Ken Bearden has a strong bunch of kids with experience and if they perform like they are capable of, it might be the Longhorns year. Up at Duchesne, Coach Jerry Christensen lost all of his topflight starters of last year with the exception of Acel Muse, a strong kid who plays a lot of basketball at center.
