Theconclusionsof the new study, conducted by the Autsin firm of Turk, Kehle & Associates (TKA), vary in many respects from those of the Lines Report prepared last year for the U.S. Geological Survey. The Lines Report cited climatic conditions, construction of Interstate Highway 80 and potash production as the main reasons for any deterioration of the salt It crust. concluded that potash production was drawing salt laden brines underneath and away from the area around the Bonneville racetrack. This was widely interpreted by auto racing enthusiasts to mean that industry was On A Budget I hesitate Freak. by CAROL SHAW to admit the fact, but secretly, I am a Fruit would much rather eat fresh fruit or simply prepared vegetables than junk food.

It is really fun to indulge my family with gigantic salads or piles of fresh fruit. Especially when I compare the cost of these bargains to the regular prices (shudder).

Have you ever tasted dried bananas? Yummy! Or apples? IM I'M! How about drying some parsley, green peppers or onions to spark up your cooking later on? Whoever said that you could only dry food in the summer? If you don't have a food dryer, you can dry it just as easily in the oven. Just slice the food really thin. Spread the pieces on a plastic wrap covered cookie sheet. Rut it into the oven set at 150 degrees. Fold a hot pad in half and place in the door to prop it open a crack. Be sure it doesn't droop near the heating unit, so as to be a fire hazard. Fruit will dry this way within about 8 to 16 hours, depending on the thickness, moisture in the fruit and humidity m the air. Store it in tightly covered containers.

In contrast, data in the new TKA study reveals that most of the brine used in Kaiser Chemicals operations north of the Interstate comes from the immediate area of its collection ditches. That conclusion confirms findings from an earlier study by M. P. Nackowski, a member of the geology department at the University of Utah. Frankly, we werent surprised to learn that the TKA report substantiates that our operations dont influence the condition of the racing surface, said Byron B.

In addition to being the head of a respected geological consulting firm and a faculty member at the largest department of geology in the country (the University of Texas), he is a recognized expert on the hydrology of the Bonneville Salt Flats and has been researching the subject for nearly a decade. Clow added that data collected by Turk and Lines was consistent, despite the differences in their con- clusions. (Virginia) Brown, Brigham City; Miss Joan Smith, North Ogden; Mrs Elden M.

The flow of brine from north of the highway to brine collection ditches on the south side is about 360 acre not 2,000 acre feet a year feet as calculated by Lines. Some minor dilution of the brine has taken place north of but this is limited to two widely separated areas and has had no apparent influence substantial the racing evidence to belief support our long-helthat our operations are not d for responsible any widespread or significant deterioration of the race track, said Clow. He added, however, that the company intends to continue its cooperation with state and The difference in the in the type and quantity of the information they employ. Lines was forced to make some federal agencies, assumpitons due to a lack of certain data, and Dr. Turk was able to collect the information needed to fill those gaps and complete the analysis. Dr. Turk explained that TKA approached the study three on surface.

It seems that there are so many things in today's world that tend to make a mother feel inadequate. But on Mother's Day no way! The children gather around wuth gifts and kisses expressing what a grand person I am and how well I do my job of mothering, and I believe every word of it Ive had some Mother's Days that were winners. One year I kept teasing the kids about wanting breakfast in bed I want dry, not wet, scrambled eggs, for Mother's Day. toast, ham, the works I want it served on a napkin covered tray and Id like it complete with one long stemmed yellow rose, perhaps in a silver vase, I advised. They listened and heeded, I think. About four days before Mothers Day, I was rushed to the hospital and I spent that w onderful day in bed. My breakfast was a needle in my arm and my ham tasted pecularilv like an IV. The lovely glamourous gifts of giant bath salts, dime store toilet water and diamond rings are good for my ego I dont feel like the typical housewife with chapped knees whose has just completed her spring housecleaning. One of my favorite all time Mothers Day gifts was the one that my oldest son Raymond bought me when he was about nine. He, in a burst of ambition, had done yard work for the neighbors and saved his money. He asked me to take him to the store. I drove him down and read in the car for what seemed like hours while he carefully selected his gift. He came out with the gift disguised in one of those grave wreath boxes. Mothers Day arrived and after I had opened my gifts and lapped up all the attention, Raymond had one big surprise left his personal gift. He had me close my eyes and t?M"g me hv the hand, he led me into the kitchen. I opened my eyes and right in the middle of the table, I saw his present. It was an exquisite turquoise and pink floral arrangement which perfectly matched my decor, I began to laugh hysterically. The arrangement had a lovely god ribbon across the top with Mother spelled out in ornate gold letters. This cherished child had lovingly purchased !iis mother a funeral wreath! ! mis IS THE PLACE Lease) LEASE FOR: $260.32 per month COMPLETE LUXURY EQUIPPED ' 78 MARK V SAVE 2063 - ?
