Editors note: The following editorial from the Deseret News of Thursday thia week, we feel should be highly interesting to everyone residing within the boundries of the Upper Basin area. We urge everyone to read this fine editorial. Your help may be needed before this entire project is finished. The Upper Colorado River Commission, meeting in Salt Lake Tuesday, showed some commendable signs of broad, forward thinking. But there were some minoy signs, too, that the broadness of vision may not be commensurate with the scope of the problem with which the commissioners are dealing. The Upper Colorado River Storage Project has been approved by the Congress and the White House. But it would be a serious mistake to think that the job is now done, and that what remains is a matter of simple routine. Project approval is one thing. Project construction is another. Still to be done is the job of getting appropriations and of getting actual construction in the most economical and effective way possible. The Commission is to be congratulated for approving the outlined program of Ival Goslin to conduct reary-Engineer sonable engineering studies. Jt is true that the Bureau of Reclamation is charged with the primary responsibility of engineering and planning the construction phase of the project, but there is still a lot of work to he done by the Commission itself. Representing the four states directly concerned, the Commission needs to have full and accurate information of its own in order to do its job Secreta- effectively. A case in point is the question of how much irrigated acreage currently exists in the Upper Colorado River Basin. One would think this information would be available as a matter of course but when it was needed- during the discussions in that three differturned out it Washington, had three ent federal agencies entirely of fig startlingly different-se- ts pre-passa- ures. And the problem of working out an formula for comaccurate of water in the Upper Basin has puting use never been satisfactorily solved. The Commission is also to be congratl-late- d for voting to continue the Upper Colorado River Grass Roots organization the s group of private citizens known as the of much to did assure so that passage the project bill. The grass roots citizens organization still has a lot of work to do, and should be kept in operating order to meet problems that will inevitably appear along the long road to final completion of the project. A voluntary citizens organization can do many things that a professional group cannot possibly accomplish. And an organized and ethusiastic group has tremendous and obvious advantages over a new one that might have to be called hastily into being. inflow-outflo- special program' was given by the Home Missionaries at Sacrament Services here Sunday evening under the direction of Edward L.

But there was some hesitancy evidenced on the part of some commissioners that is not so good. To think that all opposition to the project has ceased with passage of the bill in Congress would be folly. To thing that problems of public relations should be met piecemeal as they arise hardly appears the part of wisdom. The tremendous effect of the organized campaign against the project should not be so quickly forgotten. The future of four western states is largely at stake, with a tremendous $760 million dollar development project the immediate issue. Definitely no undue waste or carelessness is to be premitted but at the some time it should be obvious that the men charged with the responsibility of seeing it through to a successful conclusion should think big in their conception and their results of interplanning. The state disunity almost entirely based on misunderstanding that the Commission should never have permitted to develop is far too vivid and too recent to be forgotten. Weekly Haws P.:!:a:a from your County Agent Leaders council. This council is the policy making council for clubs in the state of Utah. Janet Carroll, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carroll of Orderville received the honor of being elected to this council. Most of our 4 H clubs have been organized by now and are functioning. I hope that the people of Kane County will support these groups of young people In their efforts of community service. Youd be surprised how many times our young people have been stopped from going In this direction by adults. Just last year a paint job was stopped in one of our communities because an adult didnt think, these enthusiastic club members were responsible enough to paint a fence. The fence is still unpainted. Lets not just sit back and complain about Juvenile delinquency, lets support our kids. Help them to have a good 4 H club year and our communities will prosper. 4-- I had a most enjoyable trip last week to Cedar City to the older 4 II Club Camp. Only Club members who have done a good Job in their counties and who are over 14 years of age are invited to this camp. The Cedar Camp is for the Southern Utah counties. A similar camp is held in Logan for northern Utah counties. The purpose of the camp is to develop leadership qualities in our young people to aid us not only In our club program but In the other programs that are carried on in our counties. I was very proud of our Kane County delegation. They took an active part on the council and the committtees that were set up. Those attending from our county were: Nanell Glazier, Kanab; VonDel Hoyt, Ordervllle; Janet Carroll, Orderville; McArthur, Glendale, and Margaret Cox, Alton.
