He takes a sentence like "John gave Then he has Mary the box of flowers. the students say the sentence over, each time putting emphasis on a different word, or a combination of words. Well, go ahead and do it. Now that youve tried It a few times, It isnt hard to get the message Professor Clinger puts across to his classes. Some of the patients I worked with at the State Hospital used to sit for hours discussing the semantics of a single word or phrase. With so many meanings that can be saddled to individual words and phrases In the English language, its no wonder that were in such a mess. So the simplest statement of fact or direction can be misunderstood to mean a dozen different things than what we intended. Some factions in our society would have us believe that there is a great big void called a 'generation gap between parents and youngsters today. I prefer to think of it as a communication gap. A few years ago when Dad was told by grandfather to go do the chores, he knew explicitly that he was to mile the cows, slop the pigs and gather eggs from the hen house. It meant carrying coal and kindling into the house to feed the cook stove and heater. All that was clear communication from one simple phrase. Now days that same size phrase (updated, of course, since not too many of those chores still exist around most homes) can take hours of time simply finding out what was meant by the statement. And we wonder why our peace talks around the world arent getting anywhere? B.Y.U.

The Utah Board of Water Resources is planning public meetings in Emery and Wayne counties to obtain local reactions to die recently published INTERIM R- EJORT ON STATE WATER PLAN. The first meeting will be held at the Wayne County Courthouse in Loa at 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 6, 1970, and the second at the Emery County Courthouse in Castle Dale at 1 p. m. Friday August 7. In addition to these two meetings, the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Water Resources will be held at 2 p. m. in Loa on Thursday, August 6. Daniel F. Lawrence, director of the Division, of Water Resources, said that this would be the sixth of a series of meetings held to acquaint the people of the State with the state water planning effort. Prior meetings were held in Richfield, Delta, Ogden, Duchesne and Vernal. The INTERIM REPORT ON STATE WATER PLAN describes four alternative plans winch might be followed to meet the water needs of the state to the year 2020. The plans were based on population and industrial projects made by the University of Utah, and water supply studies conducted by the state and federal agencies. One of the major choices in water planning in Utah is how much Colorado River water should be exported to the Great Basin and how much should be left for expanded uses in the Colorado Basin. This decision will have a direct impact on water development in all counties in file Colorado drainage. The second major choice in Utah water planning, according to Mr. Lawrence, is what water supply to use for Salt Lake County needs. The alternatives are an import from the Bear River, desalting of unusable outflows to the Great Salt Lake, import from the Colorado Basin, or some combination of these. Copies of the report have been mailed to presidents of water companies and other officials. Anyone may obtain a copy by writing to the Division of Water Resources, 435 State Capitol Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84114, according to Mr. Lawrence. The Division of Water Resources was created in 1947 with the name Utah Water and Power Board. It was authorized to prepare comprehensive plans for the full development of all Utah's water resources. In 1963, the legislature appropriated funds for tire preparation of a state Water Plan. Since tha$ time the Board - 3a :: Green Thumb program gets new contract Nk f racing.
