Dugwas team Soil Stewardship week stresses responsibility The San Juan Soil Conservation District this week placed emphasis on the responsibility of all the citizenry to the land in announcing the annual observance of Soil Stewardship 2. Week from May This year the districts have selected the theme of "Crisis in the Countryside." Key words in the theme are "Crisis" and "Countryside" which 15-2- a carry special significance for a committed steward. Where land is lost, or water is wasted, or human life is distorted and spoiled, one must cry out "Stop!" Cod's plan does not allow for this squandering. Headlong expansion, spurred by mammoth economic growth, sustained industrialization, and the material demands of our rising population, carries with it the responsibility of soil stewardship correspondingly larger, than ever before, in the American Countryside. During Soil Stewardship week, all citizens are urged to take a new look and consider the countryside and what it means to the very life of every individual. All churches in the area will be given prepared materials by the Soil Conservation District with the request that Sunday a portion of their programs be given over to this topic. took 345 strokes for the IS holes at BYU compared to 351 for MonticeHo.

Chairman Summers said the county intended to do the surfacing on Center Street as soon as the weather was warm enough but reasoned that as long as nights arc cold it would be a mistake to lay oil. Commissioner Ralph Bailey said he would like to impres on citizens that the county is in no way responsible for city streets but by entering into a cooperative agreement with the cities, the county was actually doing them a favor. Mr. Rogers said he well understood this but that he and the petitioners felt it would be better not to tear up existing streets until such time as there could be a guarantee of completion without having to leave them for a year. Commissioner Marion Hazleton also said that the city of Monticello has not yet received state approval ior use of the Class "C" road funds which the city receives. Without such approval, he said, the county, by going ahead on city projects, might jeopardize its own Class "B" funds. The petition further asked that the commission proceed as soon as possible on improvement of the county road from the U47 and U. S. 160 intersection to the county hospital. FEDERAL FUNDS In a letter authorized by the commission to J. Edward Johnston, deputy director of highways for the state highway department, the commission said they understood that $600,000 in federal funds had been made available for a project in North Wash on Highway 95. Since state funds had previously been scheduled for this project, the commission asked that consideration be given for using a portion of this amount to complete the oiling on Utah Highway 261 from the end of the present oil to the highway's junction with U95. rough-and-read- -- Breaks ankle rough-and-tumb- le, no-hol- ds Speakers chosen for graduation T- IP ' HOSPITAL FUNDS The commission resolved that since the San Juan Hospital Board had been given responsibility for making needed additions to the hospital and construction of the long-ter- m care facility at Blanding a figure of $300, 000 would be set as the top amount which could be used for both pro- jects.

An Open house will be conducted at the plant, located two miles west of the city just off the mountain road, from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. City officials and Hater Superintendent Jim Douglass will be on hand to take visitors through the plant and explain its operation.
