Dutson FILLMORE In Music Editor Marge Barton Compositor Photographer Reporter by STELLA DAY Up to the time of that great nature loving president, Theodore Roosevelt, no one ever even thought of conservation. President Roosevelt found that many of our natural resources were in the hands of a few of the very wealthy families, such as the J.P. Morgan, Edward H. Harriman, and James J. Hill families. He immediately took action to dissolve these big trust companies and restore many acres of precious forest lands, mining properties, and water rights. Our forest lands were increased from 43,000,000 acres to 107,000,000 acres, almost tripled. Our water power resources were put under government control to prevent monopoly and speculation. Laws controlling our mineral resources were put into effect. Cattle raisers were assessed a fee for each head of cattle which grazed on the forest lands, which made it possible to' protect the mountains from overgrazing since grass and tree roots protect the soil and keep the rains from washing the soil into the streams and on to the sea to be lost forever. Our topsoil is also one of our great national resources. Our very first conservation conference was held in December of 1908. Gifford Pinshot was made the first Chief of the Forests of the United States, under the Department of Agriculture. This very first wave of conservation, this consciousness of the need to conserve the natural resources, was brought about because that of the love of Nature and the great President Theodore Roosevelt had, which made him aware of the fact that these very wealthy men were forming big trusts to control all of the natural resources of the United States. It took a strong, determined character such as Theodore Roosevelt to pursue a course which resulted in the restoration of our natural resources, in order that all of the people of this Land of the Freecould enjoy those great blessings. Like all things which come Jo us with little effort on our part, the people became careless and no longer practiced the laws of conservation, until our air became polluted from the discharges of the great manufacturing plants and the millions of cars and plants which used fossil fuels have defiled both our culinary water as well as our supply of clean air. These events brought about a second wave of conservation consciousness. Another Roosevelt, this time, Franklin Delano, established the CCC and brought about the Soil Conservation Service. Now women came into the picture. Realizing the lack of education concerning conservation, they fostered conservation workshops for schoolteachers, Nature camps for youths, and scholarships through their many womens organizations for students of both high school and college ages. World Wars I and II occupied most of our time and no special attention was paid to conservation until our air end water supplies became so polluted that even our eyes smarted from the many poisonous gases which filled the air, and the drinking water was so full of chlorine that it was like taking medicine just to drink it. President John F. Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson brought about the third wave of interest in conservation. That interest has grown since that time, but mostly because we all use so much gas and the gas shortage gets continually worse. For the last two weeks the worlds most noted meteorologists have been holding a conference in Geneva, and they claim that the modern way of living, mostly the burning of fossil fuels, is changing (he climate of the world. The air is getting an overabundance of carbon dioxide. Trees take carbon dioxide from the air and store it in the wood, then when we bum wood, coal, (which is composed of trees after thousands of years under pressure) petroleum products, or natural gas, it increases the carbon dioxide in the air. As President Kennedy said, "Conservation concerns everybody, and all of us need to do our best to protect what natural resources we have in order that future generations may continue to progress and live more perfectly than does the present generation. P.S. I just had a call from Wally Sorenson from his home in Rhode Island. He is a real artist, but uses most of his skills in the art of furniture designing and construction. He longs to live in Fillmore, but cannot find proper employment. He sends best wishes to his many friends. & Linda Wood Janes Trip By Jane Wilson returned Tuesday from one of my nicer vacations by myself, and at the risk of boring some of our Progress readers I shall list some of the highlights. First, I had planned the trip for weeks so there was happiness in anticipation. I stopped overnight in Salt Lake City February 14, visiting with Vera and Jack Feight, Lisa and Vance, Sam and Billie Wilson and family. Sam took me to the plane next morning, accompanying me aboard, so there was no fright or anxiety on that score. Bill and Madeleine Wilson were at the airport in Palm Springs to greet me on a beautiful, warm spring day. A large crowd was on hand in anticipation of the opening of the Colgate Tennis tournament and the three-daweekend. They are a busy family. Margaret R. a 6th grader, is on the girls basketball team and plays with the band. She shares the cooking with Bill and they delight in serving gourmet dishes. She recently was initiated into Job's Daughters. We toured Valley Clinical Laboratory, where Madeleine spends most of her waking hours. When Bill took me in she was running SMA 1260. This stands for Simultaneous Machine Analysis, where 12 tests on a single patient are completed every 60 seconds. The running of the SMA is not her primary job as she supervises the whole lab, reporting directly to the Board of Directors. VCL does a lot of interesting tests, including a new one called "fast hemoglobin", which helps monitor diabetic patients. One aspect is that prices have been lowered to be the least expensive in California. VCL does as many tests in a day as Madeleine used to do in a year in the small lab in Fillmore. Incidentally, Janet Bishop, whose father is a Ph.D. at USU and a former Delta resident, is an employee of the lab. Another girl employed owns mountain property in Beaver where she and her husband spent their honeymoon. Most interesting to yours truly was a tour of the DAILY NEWS plant, where Bill is on the editorial staff. He has charge of the dark room and takes the tape off the wire. There are 7 reporters and photographers, managing editor, city editor, and publisher. The paper is completely offset, including typesete high speed ting computers, press and other modem equipment. A telephone call Saturday brought an invitation to visit Arnold and Betty Lesin, former Fillmore residents, at their winter home in Palm Springs, a After passing lovely condominium. the California Bar, Arnold became Judge of the Tax Repeal Court, a posi I y Brett A. Whatcott Called to serve Brett A. Whatcott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gam A. Whatcott, of Fillmore received a call to the Australia Melbourne Mission. Brett will enter the Mission Home in Provo on March 1. 1979. Thank You As I now have been in a new role, in the Living Room Bed, I can look back and reflect on my cast "Lead "break. I have found how kind and thoughtful doctors, nurses, EMTs and even strangers can be. The cards, gifts, goodies, calls and visits from my family and many friends were very much appreciated and helped to make my hospital stay seem a little shorter. Thanks again to everyone.

Thanks, Alex Angelo Gen. Del.. Ireland it was considered Fillmore, Utah tion he held for three terms, retiring January I, 1979. He served in Los Angeles County with a population of ten million. Recently, he and Betty, their daughter Rachclle, her doctor' husband and family, all of L.A., son Eric, a physicist employed in Venezuela, his wife and children, and youngest daughter Debra, spent two weeks in Israel. Sunday, the Wilsons were invited to the home of Owen and Merodean Bunker in Indian Wells, a short drive from Indio. They were interested in hearing of happenings in Fillmore. They later took me to lunch while the others were at work. With the National Date Festival underway, Madeleine, Margaret and I watched the hour long parade with its 126 entries of bands, floats, horses and uniformed bodies all accenting the "Arabian Nights theme. The Sultans Palace was the scene of an evening performance of a magnificent pageant, which followed tours of the Fair exhibits of garden clubs, Future Farmers of America, gems and minerals. The crowning event was the Pageant of Flags, a Patriotic extravaganza under direction of and narrated by John Power, Daily News Managing Editor. One day was spent touring the area, including a visit to the Salton Sea, where we had lunch at the Salton Sea Yacht1 Club overlooking the sea, with return stops at Date gardens and other points of interest in the towns of Mecca, Thermal, Coachella and Coachella Lake State Park. Bill had another free afternoon and this time it was off to Palm Springs to see the many stores and a light lunch at a sidewalk cafe. On the drive to Palm Springs, we drove by the Medical Center, Eisenhower the Annenberg, Estate, Gerald Fords home at Thunderbird, a look up the hill at Bob Hope's new home and a general drive around several of the large golf courses and country clubs. And on a detour after picking Margie up at school one day we visited the Cove Community of LaQuinta, the home of the famous LaQuinta Hotel and Golf Course, where part of the Bob Hope Classic is played each year. The host club this year was Indian Wells, where Owen and Merodean live. To climax the vacation, my hosts took me to Long Beach for brief visits with Ruby Feight and Mona Baldwin and Coronado Hills to visit friends. Early Monday, Madeleine put me on the Air West flight from Palm Springs to Salt Lake City, where Sam met me. Short visits with his family and the Feights, and the bus trip home ended a wonderful vacation. unlucky to cut down hawthorne shrubs.
