Would you like to learn more from a master knitter and pledge 50 hours to teaching others the art afterwards? Elaine Hatch, our extension home economist, influenced a large class willing to devote four days to instruction from Marge Wild, representing the Extension Master Volunteer Program and sponsored by the National Extension Homemakers Council, the Extension Service, U S. Dept of Agriculture, The Craft Yarn Council of America and the Hand Knitting Association. When Ms. Wild arrived Monday morning at the com mission chambers in Castle Dale where the group awaited, she told them she had never before been to Utah, INCREDIBLY ENTERTAINING A CRACKERJACK COMEDY.

She also made it plain that it took considerable effort and pulling strings on the part of Elaine to arrange the event. Marge had flown from her home in Wausau, Wis., to Alaska, to Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, in fact all over the world, since the program is worldwide. She gives seven courses a year to a privileged few. She was pleased at the size of the class and the skills of the crocheters. Crocheting is an ancient art taken from a French word meaning crook or crooked. Needles of various materials end in a hook to pull the yarn through. Marge had encouraged larger needles and yam as is used to crochet sweaters, afghans, tree skirts and many other articles of beauty and value for the home, and family and as gifts or to start a business. Marge herself works for the Knitting Nook, where she does handmade items for sale. She concocted a fetching tree skirt of green yarns edged in red and white and decorated with red and white bows. Her masterpiece was photo- graphed and used as a cover for a crafts book. In ex p laining h o w s he did it , she held a long curving needle and said she put 450 stitches on it to avoid seams, and while ft was harder to work with, it gradually became easier. The skirt went about the bottom of a Christmas tree stand, cover-in- g it with holiday glamour and was reuseable.

It doesnt take as long as you think, and it stays smooth and together. I never whipstitch anything, she said. Marge lays out a collection of granny squares in chairstep fashion and shows how to put them together. One student is making a black wall hanging for her husband. She will decorate it d with Indian designs Kachina figures and other Indian motifs. Another offers to lend her some of her thun-derbir- collection. What have I done here? asks Angie Fillmore. I've lost everything. Im falling apart. Not really. Marge quickly remedies the problem. Did someone on the table yesterday switch scissors with me? asks a voice. The confession is made. The exchange is made, too, amid chuckles, and the pleasant schooling proceeds. From Monday through Thursday Marge instructs with backup from Elaine. The experience is pleasant for all, and the pledge to give 50 volunteer hours is taken in stride, since the girls have each learned volunteerism as a lifestyle. Elaine explained that the goals of the Extension Home Economics Master Volunteer Progtam are to tenrh teach and involve others m lmprove-- d family living; provide education opportunities, personal growth development of volunteers, and respond to the general publics request for information, and to plan, implement and evaluate educational programs Maige said goodbye to the students Thursday afternoon, loadpd up her gear and drove back to Salt Lake City in a rented car where she left for Wisconsin to spend Easter in-dep- th Marge Wild shows one of her crocheting creations at a recent workshop her family.

UP&L explains water shortage (Continued from Page 1A) Burton. One of the things we determined at the very beginning was that wed make sure our use of the resources was a positive factor for the community. Aside from supporting hundreds of jobs at the power plant and associated coal mine, the lake and stream provide recreation and tourism opportunities for Emery County. And, like the power plant downstream, Utah Power & Light'must monitor and control these water resources precisely. The company maintains a weather station just a few hundred feet downstream of the dam. Technicians using equipment measure precipitation, air well-calibrat- temperature and flow rates out of the dam.

A nontoxic, biodegradable mixture prevents both freezing and evaporation of the sample for more accurate readings. A second, longer cylinder holds precipitation for a longer term. Its also weighed to keep tabs on cumulative rain and snowfall in the canyon. The temperature and precipitation readings are sent off to weather scientists back ze East for recording and analysis. In the summertime, we also keep track of evaporation rates, Edginton said. We measure the depth of water in a tub to see how fast its evaporating. He says the water level in the tub can be measured in thousandths of an inch. During the hot, dry sumacre-fe- et of water can evaporate off the lake.
