J. Lankford, Project Engineer, U. S. Bureau of Public Roads and Ralph Prout, President of the Contracting Corporation of Salt Lake City, the Zion turihel is expected to reopen for one-watraffic by 5:00 p.m. on October 14. Superintendent Paul R. Franke announced that this cooperation and speedup is in response to the petition of the Five County Organization to permit resumption of the normal tourist business throughout southern Utah. This will also meet the request of the Utah State Fish and Game Commission and allow access to hunting territory east of Zion National Park in advance of the deer season which opens October 17. Mr. Franke also announced that due to the one-waroadway, vehicles exceeding 10 feet 6 inches in height will not be able to pass, through. This height limitation is due to the spring of the arch as all vehicles must pass slowly the tunnel wall. The drivers using the tunnel are asked to exercise special caution in driving through the one traffic lane at the site of the repairs. y y $3.50 Yearly, 10c Single Copy U Alumni Kane and Four Southern Counties Ask Aid In Drought Fight To Keep Foundation Herds By Feed Program Alumni of the University of Utah will gather at the Redskin campus October 22, 23 and 24 for 1959 Homecoming festivities.

A spokesman said the company has no intention of engaging in fight with the Bureau of Reclamation but that the bureaus refusal to take a stand on sharing the cost of the proposed settlement. No meetings with the striking unions have been set up and no contact made since the bureaus reply to the company request was received, he added. The company is the prime contractor on the project. He Explained the situation this The company relayed to the bureau the minimum offer from the striking unions to accept a wage increase in lieu of remote area subsistence payments for work at the damsite in northern Arizona. The bureau was asked whether it would pay 85 per cent of the increase. An escalator clause in the bureaus contract with MCS, for the work provides that the government will absorb that percentage of unforseen wage increases. The Bureau gave no answer yes or no, he said. The Bureau advised the company to negotiate a settlement with the union and then make any claim to the government. We had told the unions that if the government would agree to accept 85 per cent of the cost we would give their proposal considSalt Lake Trieration, he said. bune. sions of Public Law; 875.

Carroll of Stockton California, will - be one hundred years old. He reads and enjoys the SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS. Since he still has many relatives and friends in Southern Utah although he moved from there to Provo in 1911, I thought perhaps you could find space in your paper to extend birthday greetings to him from Southern Utah.. Though he was born in Provo and spent his childhood and youth in Ilebor City, he lived for many years in Orderville where he went with his parents to join the United Order soon after its organization. During his years in Southern he was a prominent business man, merchant and farmer parand he filled many ticularly positions in the church and in civic organizations, including time in the legislature. He received a citation for outstanding service in bond drives. But he will be remembered most for his many acts of kindness to those in need and his wise counsel sought by those in difficulty or trouble. He and his wife, Amelia S. Car-rocelebrated their sixtieth wedin Provo Deding anniversary cember 12, 1939, a short time before they moved to Palo Alto, California, where Mrs. Carrol passed away about two years later. Mr. Carroll is the father of Dr. Joseph S. Carroll of Palo Alto, Dr. M. E Carroll of Urbana, 111., and Mrs. C. H, Harrison of Stock-toCalifornia, and the late Dr. C. H. Carroll of Provo, Utah If you could send a little greeting, Im sure it would please this wonderful old man and his devoted daughter-in-law- . Sincerely, Mrs. C, H. Carroll (Elsie C.
