As a result the county is working with Kennecott on drilling a well to take care of watering the park and the golf course. And a new batch of trees have been planted as part of the last two phases of Community Development funding at the park. Nelson said 60 trees have been planted in the picnic area, with additional trees around the grandstand and the field house. There is still a need to plant more, he stated. Top priority this year will be given to installing additional picnic tables, a scoreboard and chain and bollards across the front of the facility to 31, 1983 keep out cars.

When the north wind blows, it brings the pests to the more populated areas. He went on to explain that before the wind starts, light meters Miner, placed at strategic show points about two throughout the area to four mosquitoes a night. After a wind, the count increases to about 50 or 60 in each trap. He added that in Tooele County, mosquitoes were dusted with a colored spray to see how far they traveled. They were picked up in traps 30 or 40 miles aways. It was also pointed out that mos quitoes are more prevalent after July 4 but fall is the worst time for the equine carrier which picks up the virus from rabbits, snakes or horses. Good home control can be achieved by eliminating standing water and getting rid of old tires and other debris where mosquitoes breed. It takes only four days for an egg to develop into a flying adult, it was noted. GOING ABROAD? Call Linda Our International Travel Specialist She will save you time and money!!

Formed in 1946, the council initially was a political organization that changed with the political climate. Consequently it made very little progress, according to Dr. Clark. He went on to say that the district operated on a levy of .5 mill, with a donation from Kennecott. But after trying to get by on nothing for many years, officials approached KCC for an increase in the donation to allow the purchase of new equipment. Now the district has new trucks, a backhoe, tractor, spray equipment and hand equipment to service the 60 miles of drains in the district which lie between 6400 South and North Temple, between 4800 West and the Tooele County line. Twenty years ago the district functioned on a $10,000 budget, including the KCC donation and the tax levy, but today the budget amounts to $91,000. The district is in the process of constructing a new building which will cost $60,000, because of a county requirement to install curb, gutter and sidewalk. The ordinance also requires that five percent of the property be landscaped with trees and grass, Dr. Clark said. The function of the board is to budget money, set the mill levy, purchase property and equipment and it has the authority to condemn pro- perty. Collectively the present board has invested considerable time, energy and money into making the district a working entity. Dr. Clark has served 20 years; Larson 12; Damron, 14, while Bowen and Dyches have been there 30 years. All of the members are volunteers who get no remuneration for their gas, time or talents. They also pay their own way to national conventions to keep abreast of the latest methods of mosquito control, which is of concern to the people in this community since there are 320 mosquito-borne diseases. In this area the disease is equine encephalitis. d The district is a operation whcih has one paid fulltime employe and a six or part-tim- e summer staff. They begin d spraying April 1, using only materials, and employes must be age 18 or older and have passed a state agriculture pesticide test with an 80 percent average.

Kaumans City Recorder said engineer Dean Williams, who is helping direct the program. The paramed class for improvement district workers will run from tonight.

Persons wishing to receive training are being asked by the Fire Department to organize a group of about 10 people (14 and older) for a session. The cost is $5 per person.
