RACKS I mergency Communications plans originate by local Civil Defense officers must be approved by the State Civil Defense Director and the Defense for-- , Civil Prepardness Agency. The plans are warded to the' FCC for final authorization. RACKS stations will be the only amateur radio stations allowed to opcratc-unde- r strict control-ievent of enemy attack. Upon warning of enemy attack, all normal amateur radio operations must cease for security reasons. As a result of attack, much of the communications facilities over the Nation probably would be destroyed or extensively damaged. RACES stations and operators would then supplement surviving facilities in sending and receiving official information and directions for Federal, Local Governments. State and RACES stations operate under the direction of State and Local Government officials in conformance wit civil defense communications Commission arc restricted to small factions of regular amateur bands.

Obviously, they have helped a great deal in some In slightly respects. over a week, the state average for measured precipitation rose from-3of normal to 51 of normal. But let us consider what the storms actually did for us. According to the state climatologist. Arly Richardson, most of the precipitation came in the form of slow gentle rains in the valleys and light snow in the mountains. By virtue of this and the fact that the ground has been very dry, practically all the moisture infiltrated the ground. As the snow melts, the majority of it will also go into the ground as predicted by Gilbert Searl of the Soil Conservation Service. The result is a triggered of range regrowth grasses for cattle and the germination of etc. wheat, spring with most of the precipitation going directly into the ground. Obviously there is little or no contribution to the streams or reservoirs. Essentially, therefore, the recenj storms benefitted our agricultural interests, but did virtually nothing for our water shortage. the Furthermore, actual extent to which the range and farm lands are benefitted will depend entirely upon future precipitation, or in other words, if we do not receive follow-ustorms, the grasses that grow this week will dry up and become a fire hazard. Certainly the effects of the drought arc still very much with us and will continue as such, throughout at least the current water year. Indeed the need for conservation is as real as it ever was.
