Marshal Chet Johnson was called and was assisted by Troopers Charles Cowley and Jim Reynolds, as the first impression was the trio were under the influence of drugs. However, it was found the auto had a faulty exhaust system and all three were suffering from carbon monoxide gas poisoning.

The Sevier River Basin report on Water and Related Land Resources identifies and recom- mends solutions for problems concerning these resources. It emphasized opportunities for development through the initiative of local sponsors. The study focuses on water but other resources were examined primarily as they relate to water and analyzes their importance to the economic development of the Sevier River Basin. EMPLOYMENT Employment in the Basin decreased during the 1958-6- 5 period. Employment in 1958 was 11,132 and in 1966 was 10,592. (Data from Utah State Department of. Employment Security.) The rate of employment has been a problem. During the 1958-6- 1 period, unemployment was about double the State rate.

Tippetts today announced the 1971 Operational Schedule for Utahs State Park units. It includes the information that use fees will not be required until after the Easter weekend. On and after April 15, 1971, the regular fee of$1.00per day per car or $7.00 for the year, for State Parks with average or above average facilities, will be necessary. The annual permit is becoming very aptly known as the "Fun Tag. There are 43 Park units in the State Park system, according to Mr. Tippetts, but only 16 of these meet the requirements of a fee area. They are Bear Lake State Park at Garden City; Coral Pink Sand Dunes near Kanab; Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab; Deer Creek State Recreation Area and Wasatch Mountain State Park near Heber City; East Canyon Lake State Recreation Area near Morgan; Green River S.R.A. in Green River; Hyrum Lake S.R.A. near Hyrum; Minersville Lake SRA, between Minersville and Beaver; Rock-po- rt Lake S.R.A. near Wanship; Scofield Lake S.R.A. near Scofield; Snow Canyon State Park near St. George; Steinaker Lake S.R.A. near Vernal; Utah Lake State Park near Provo; Willard Bay S.R.A. near Ogden and Yuba Lake S.R.A. south of Levan. Payment of a fee entitles the user to use any of the facilities including boat ramp, water, rest rooms, tables, stoves and sanitation service. At many other public areas, a separate charge is made for some of these facilities. A special charge is made for The Sevier River Basin Report points out a potential for range improvement to increase grazing by 9,500 animal unit months, structures to reduce flood water and sedimentation by 3,522 acre feet, salvage of 16,490 acre feet of water and groundwater management of 80,000 acre feet. Projects creating the most interest are canal consolidation along the west side of the valley and flood control debris in the large drainages from Elsinore to Vermillion. Ninety-fiv- e miles of canal lining and pipelines will line the major canal and laterals if canal consolidation is agreed upon by the water users. Coordinated planning with the Utah State Highway Department will be needed with several of the projects that are near or will affect the new freeway. Ira M. Jensen Paid Last Tribute The life of Ira Martin Jensen, 79 of Redmond was eulogized at funeral services held March 18th at 1 p.m. in the Redmond Ward L.D.S. Chapel. Mr. Jensen died March 13th In the Gunnison Valley per person is required. This and other fees are reviewed annually Hospital from carcinoma. and approved by the Utah State Division of Parks and Recreation, of which James D. Moyle of Salt Lake City is chairman. Already many State Park areas are receiving very heavy use, such as, at Willard Bay and Utah Lake for boating and other places where weather is suitable for just riding and enjoying the scenery, according to Mr. Tippetts. With more and better equipment, the modern outdoor family is making more and earlier use of developed areas. At the first sign of open water and as the snowdrifts disappear from the camping areas, the family takes his equipment from storage and "heads for the open spaces. Some of this early use is reflected in the nearly 2 12 million visits in 1970 to Utahs State Parks, a substantial increase over the year previous, according to the Director. Also, partly responsible for the increase were new modern camping facilities at Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Yuba Lake and Rockport Lake. His Lucky Day Directing the final program was Bishop Douglas R. Jensen. A. C. Wiilardson offered the family prayer and Ella Lee Lund played the prelude music at the chapel. The opening song was "Oh My Father, by a ladies double trio, Donna Anderson, Luella Jorgensen, Jenett Hales, Gladys Peterson, Maurine Hales and Fae Hampton accompanied by Mrs. Lund. Marvin Jensen offered the invocation and Dr. Lamar H. Stewart was the first speaker, followed by a vocal solo, "In The Garden, by Terrel Nelson with Mrs. Lund as accompanist. LaMar BoSshardt was the second speaker and remarks were made on behalf of the family by Bishop Jensen, The ladles double trio sang the closing song, Abide With Me Tis Eventide and Byron Jensen pronounced the benediction, with the postlude music by Mrs. Lund.
