X-ra- Not being able to get away from the ball games for a minute, full appreciation of Little League ball was forcefully illustrated the other afternoon when one little guy hit a good one and got on first base. That part was unusual only in that the boy was overcoming a fear of the ball after being accidentally hit this spring. Faithfully getting to pratice every time he has gradually learned to cease backing away from the ball- has learned fielding and can now throw like a veteran. Last week after striking out for the umpteenth head was dawn as he dejectedly time his shoulders drooped and his headed out to the field as his team base. Funny thing, the Little Leaguers, Pony Leaguers and girls teams seem to have escaped the rash of leg injuries.

The boy was so down- hearted he even missed an easy ball batted almost to him. This week though to the delight of the fans and players he hit the ball and the grin as he reached first was wonderfully and as he came on home was postitively beatific. Ball games and boys are an unbeatable combination. From south of the line comes news of the high cost of living Ken Coates recently received a letter from Ted Emidy, former superintendent of the carbonate plant here. Ted left for New York a year ago and arrived in Argentina the first part of May, and reports that his living expenses amounted to about $75.00 per month. With pesos worth about 42 t oa dollar- it takes about 2500 to 300 pesos per month to cover the necessities of life. Filet mignon are about 10c to 11c and full time maid serand per pound vice is about $700 a month. Tough living in Argentina, were all taxus-aide- - sympathy.

I brought him in. San Juan County - at their regular monthly session. Mr. Oberg gave no reasons for his unexpected, voluntary action. The Council accepted his resignation, effective August 31. Members of the Council did not express w hat action they would take in the interim in securing a replacement. At the opening of the session, the Council heard an appeal from Ken Coates, San Juan County recreation board chairman. Mr. Coates asked that the city furnish electrical energy for the local recreation program on "at least, a basis This would include power for the swimming pool and the lighting of the ball diamond when facilities are installed. According to Mr. Coates, the July bill rendered by the city for electrical energy at the swimming pool amounted to $160.30, for 6000 killowats. He pointed out that the swimming pool was not in operation for seven days during this period, and that normally this bill would be higher. Preliminary estimates during the meeting showed the city paid Utah Power & Light Co. $68.00 for this approximately amount of electricity, and he did not think the city should realize a profit from its activities. He pointed out the decrease in juvenile delinquency within the city this year, during the recreation programs first period of operation and he also noted the value of the swimming pool as in asset to the community. Mayor Morris Nelson advised Mr. Coates the Council would take his proposal into consideration. Following Mr. Coates appearance, the council discussed the matter and a motion was made by A. J. Redd that the City Manager determine the citys cost per killowatt for electrical energy over a one-yeperiod, including all expenses, maintenance and other city costs and submit the report to the board. The motion was non-prof- Boundary Dispute To Be Aired In District Court A boundary line dispute between San Juan and Grand counties into volving a strip from one-hal- f one-thir- d mile wide is still not resolved. Grand maintains the county lines follow south line of township 26 south; whereas San Juan says the statutes provide that the Legislature in 1898 set the line at latitude 38 degrees, 30 minutes north. To date Grand County has been assessing the property in the area. However, with the drilling of two oil wells and location of potential Oil potash fields by Delhi-Taylo- r Co. in the disputed area, the land has taken on added significance. It is felt the strip could have considerable mineral and oil value. Commissioner Bill Walton, Attorney Bennion Redd and Sheriff Seth Wright met with Grand County officials Tuesday to discuss the matter. The two counties earlier this year agreed to share a $1200 expense for a preliminary survey by the Coastal Geodetic Service. This has been completed, and according to Mr. Redd, the survey indicates the line is where San Juan County claims it to be. There will be no continuation of the survey work.' To settle the matter for the best interests of both counties and property owners involved, San Juan County will institute legal action in the Seventh Judicial District Court.

Previously, the plant has consisted of two separate processing plants-onof which was an Acid Leach Resin-in-Pul- p Plant following the standard flowsheet in the treatment of relatively low lime acid type ores. The reserve of such ores has been essentially consumed, therefore, there is no longer ores available for this type of processing at Monticello. The other plant was an Alkaline Leach Plant using a standard counter current decantation-filtration plant for the treatment of high lime ores. The facilities of the two plants are being combined so that the operation at Monticello will become that of a single process employing an Alkaline Leach followed extration of the by Resin-in-Pul- p uranium values. This process has been operating on a pilot plant scale but the installation at Monticello will be the first commercial plant application of the process. In conjunction with this HERE'S VARNIllG!
