The special meeting and election called by the Moon Lake Electric Association board of directors for last Saturday to decide the issue of whether the membership wanted to move their general headquarters to Vernal, was decided by the ballot. Only in a free, democratic state does the ballot decide important issues. It is a reassuring experience when men and women, citizens of the greatest nation in the world, will become so interested in the affairs of our community, that they will think for themselves, and act accordding to their own judgment on matters as important as the Issue proposed to members of a rural electric power cooperative that has been serving the rural Uintah Basin since 1938. A total of 1224 members, which is about fifty per cent of the total membership, voiced themselves at the election, and when the ballots had been counted, 650 of them voted against th proposition, and 574 favored the move. The margin of victory for the opposition was small, but those seventy-si- x represent the majority, and gave evidence the membership hadnt been convinced the proposal to make the change was what they wanted. During a very active campaign, which has extended' over several weeks, there were undoubtedly many things said in an offensive way, which could have caused feelings among the members. When an issue that becomes so highly controversial as this one hase, it is only natural that harsh things are said and personalities clash. However, if the Moon Lake Electric Association is to remain a solid unit, one that will be a truly cooperative organization in every sense of the word, then differences that have arisen over this issue, must be forgotten and the entire membership pull together to establish a greater organization. Information coming from REA and from the officers and management of Moon Lake, indicate there are many important This newsproblems that require unity in the ranks of the paper opposed moving the office to Vernal, but over the years has supported Moon Lake Electric Association in all of its expansion program We have supported1 the board and the management, and want to again assure them we are still obligated to continue working for anything that will benefit this great inland empire that holds so much promise for the future. co-o- p. t BEWARE THE PEACE OF THE BEAR The following speech was given by DIMITRY Z.

Knowlton, Utah State Agricultural College extension entomologist. The western grape leaf skeleton-ize- r has for years been a pest among grapes in some Washington County areas. In 1954 and spring of 1955, the maggots of a tachinid fly, apparently now well established in the Dixie area of Utah, cleaned out skeletonizer caterpillars so completely that a worm could rarely be found. This has been a fine thing for the grape growers of the area about St. George, Dr. Knowlton says. Ladybird beetles, damsel bugs, d aphid lions, big eyed bugs, fly maggots and several other kinds of insects help us by feeding on aphids, he adds. When abundant, these predators may largely control aphids. But if the spring is cool and showers are frequent, aphids may get Under ahead of the predators. such conditions we may have to use insecticides. These may kill beneficial as well as injurious insects. This we must regret. By learning to live with, and' to cooperate with beneficial insects, we get definite benefits. This is the case where alfalfa seed growers secure control of insect pests, yet carefully avoid killing honey bees and wild bees which must be depended upon to cross Dr. the seed crop, pollinate Knowlton points out. hard-to-contr- syr-phi- CARE OF IRRIGATION PUMPING PLANTS Correct selection of pump, power unit, and equipment; proper installation and proper operation and maintenance are essential for most efficient and economical service of irrigation pumping plants. This is the advice of J. M. Bag-leassistant professor of irrigation and drainige engineering at Utah State Agricultural College. Professor Bagley says maximum efficiency, which means lowest over all cost, can not be achieved if any of these items are neglected. It is not at all common to find the annual cost for operating and maintaining pumping plant and' irrigation systems exceeds the advertised initial cost. Thus, says Professor greater emBagley, phasis should be placed upon operating at lowest possible cost The major reason farmers fail to operate their pumping plants and irrigation systems at highest efficiency is bectuse they have been poorly advised.

WTATt At the turn of the century, the American family still operated pretty much as a unit. Family ties were close for a number of reasons mechanical as well as spiritual. Usually there was only one means of conveyance to serve the entire family. So the family participated in many activities jointly. Then came that period in which the family unit begin to fall apart. The Golden Twenties, the Depressing Thirties, and the Anxious Forties they all brought their problems, and no doubt contributed to family disintegration. Family members began to go their own ways and to have their own interests. Multiple means of transportation helped to remove the dependence of members on one another. About the only time they ever got together was at the dinner table. And here, too often, there were vacant chairs. The pendulum may be swinning back in the other direction. There are many signs that the present decade may be bringing the American family closer together again. It could be the effect of television. Or the aftermath of the war. But no matter what the cause, the outlook is more encouraging for family unity. Among the bonds that tie family members closer together is the United States Savings Bonds. In many, many cases the thrift habit through savings bonds has become a family project. The father buys bonds automatically through the Payroll Savings Plan the easy, painless way. The children put their extra or part of the weekly allowance into Savings earnings Stamps. Even the mother saves an occasional dollar from the feed budget to supplement the family bond ctockpile. dairying-sev- en talmage ' Sports In The Open Space OF EACH WEEK tykexif; Fern rndmlim tural the commission indicate the work is already well under way, with men and equipment from Wasatch County, the State Road Commission, and the Department of Fish and Game now on the job. Removed seiners royalties from the commercial take of trash fish on Deer Creek, Scofield and the Strawberry reservoir. This action was taken to encourage the removal of more trash fish from these waters. Another one million walleyed eggs are now being hatched out at the states Scott Avenue hatchery. The eggs recently were shipped to the department as a gift from the U. S. Fish and' Wildlife Service. The walleye fry will soon be planted as a supplement to the first million of these fish already stocked this spring in several waters over the state. F &-- S The spawning run of native trout from Strawberry Reservoir first began two weeks ago and is now nearing a peak, the Utah Department of Fish and Game announced today. Numbers of the large fish in the run this year appear to be on a par with previous years. The first take of 269,000 eggs was made at the spillway station last week. Spawners in the traps at this station have all made the run up the successfully operating fish ladder constructed at the spillway a year ago. The additional eggs from the spillway station are expected to add considerably to the several million eggs normally taken from the lakes native trout. The department said this important egg taking operation would probably continue into mid-JunThe Strawberry native trout egg take is the last primary source in Utah where native trout eggs can be procured to perpetuate this species in the lake itself and many other waters over the state. e. A recent action by Utahs Fish and Game Commission makes it illegal for any person, except licensed seiners engaged in the business of transporting live bait fish out of the State of Utah, to at any time hold or have in possession any species of live bait fish. Trash fish minnows may be taken by any licensed angler from any water open to angling so long as they are killed and cured as soon as taken from the water. They may be used as bait. Employment of Clairon L, Huff as a field man for the Uintah County area is announced by the department of fish and game. He will reside , in Vernal with his wife, Elizabeth, and' their two small sons. He replaces Fred M. Reynolds of Vernal who recently retired from the department following eleven years of service in the field. Huff was born in Draper in 1932. His qualifications for department work include extended schooling covering fish and wildlife subjects at Carbon Junior Colege and the University of Utah.

Best quality proteins are obtained from animal foods. These include milk, cheese, meat (including liver and other organs), fish, poultry and eggs.
