Virgin and Kanab River valleys began to raise corn on the' alluvial fans left by the flowing streams. Thus began the prehistoric Indian culture known as the "Ana-sari,- " which is Navajo for the ancients. Little is known about the origin of the Anasazi peoples. Exactly where they came from remains the subject of a controversy to this day. SOME ARCHAEOLOGISTS bethese lieve primitive people were descendents of Old World hunters who crossed the icebound Bering Strait from Siberia to inhabit North America. Others believe they are descendents of earlier nomadic races that came from South America Whatever their origin, the Anasazi rose to populations prominence about 1200 AD and then mysteriously disappeared from the Utah scene, leaving lasting marks on the landscape . . . marks which have become popular tourist attractions in modern times.

Kitty Hawk and Hornet Pose Strong Navy Team US. PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII -- The largest and most powerful warship ever to sail Far Eastern waters - the USS began operating Kitty Hawk with the Seventh Fleet recently. Cruising the same water as Kitty Hawk is another Seventh Fleet aircraft carrier almost two decades older - USS Hornet (CVS12). This team of old and new illustrates the practical and efficient means by which the its fighting maintains Navy - strength. Since World War II, when air- craft carriers first proved their worth, attack carriers of modern design and increased fighting capability have been introduced into the Fleet. As newer ships join the front line, the usefulness of the older carriers does not diminish. They are not scrapped as obsolete but are given jobs appropriate to their smaller size and slower speed. HORNET AND Kitty Hawk, commissioned in 1943 and 1961 are two Pacific respectively, Fleet ships that illustrate the role of the air- a single mission She can peacefully show the flag, perform reconnaissance, or launch deft attacks in small or large scale assaults with conventional or nuclear weapons if required The importance of an antisub- marine warfare aircraft carrier such as Hornet is increasingly obvious as threat of Communist and nuclear conventionally submarines operating powered becomes more in the Pacific evident. The ASW carriers arsenal of hunter-kille- r weapons ensures the speedy removal of any such threat to national security KITTY HAWKand Hornet exist and operate as a team; Kitty Hawk as the deterrent and offensive arm and Hornet as a defense against potential submarine aggression. Together, the two aircraft carriers stand not only as able and powerful weapons of the United States Pacific Fleet, but as symbols of the Free Worlds intention to remain that way EfTO BFST INSURANCE (Dufy YOU CAN BUY PROTECT LIFE!
