It is not a frightening drive, though views down into Sanpet Valley on one side and deep canyons on the other are stirring experiences. Most of the drive is at elevations above 9,000 feet, with some of it as high as 11,000 feet. Though none of the drive is paved, it is passable in summer by sedan at moderate speeds; and it is intersected by roads leading down to Sanpete and Castle Valleys. The country through which Skyline Drive passes is used extensively for grazing of cattle and sheep, so expect to meet cowboys and sheephearders along the way. Parts of the drive may be free of snow in May or June; however, higher reaches may not be passable until July, so its entire length is open for only three or four months of the year. But sideroads make most of it accessible for a longer season. If you like fishing, try some of the many lakes and res-- ! ervoirs, or streams such as Hun- tiugton Creek. A number of im- proved forest campgrounds are located on or near the drive. Most people include Sanpete Valley as part of this loop tour. They are well repaid, for Sanpete Valley has many attractions such as its charming communities with their pioneer homes drive off the highway and find yourself in the land of yesterday!), Palisade State Park (Funks Lake), lovely iManti Temple, Fairbanks galleries of sculpture in Fairview and Spring City, and picturesque farms. If time allows, detour through Mornoni and Freedom to Maple Canyon, an impressive gorge; near its mouth, on the north wall, look for unique Box Canyon - an extraordinarily narrow chasm with overhanging walls hundreds of feet high. aspen-evergree- fERROH g g red-w'all-- r -- Yallsy High School Hews Report flowe- n The Jacob Lake District of the Kaibab National Forest today launched two of several improvement projects planned for Mt.

Trumbull area as well as by cattle and wildlife. Addditional water facilities for wildlife are a part of the project. Other projects planned for Mt. Trumbull: 1. Fencing of the National Forest boundary. Needed fences will help control use of the forest by domestic stock and improve the forage resource. 2. Construction of a crew quarters.

R. D. Nielson, Utah State Director for Bureau of Land Management, pointed out that some of the state have had no precipitation recently. What rainfall there was last weekend was scattered and light. Because of low relative humidity, above average temperatures, and winds in recent weeks, brush and grass are very dry in many areas. Add to this situation the heavy use of the public domain by the army of hunters this week end and there is the increased danger of range fires. Campfires should never be left unattended, Mr. Nielson said. Cigarettes should be crushed and matches should be broken before being thrown away. Hunting is but one of the multiple uses of the public domain administered by BLK1, and Mr. Nielson reminds hunters to take all necessary precautions so they do not on other users. h Kanab High School flaws flsfes by Joyce Cram Our students attending the Band and Chorus did an excellent job representing Kanab High School among the 506 students attending.

Of course peace officers will concentrate on making this a safe and happy hunt both in the field and on the highway. They will use every opportunity to promote this aspect. One of the- - prpblems creat- ed each year due to the influx of outside hunters is that of reaching them with emergency messages, particulary when in the main part, offi eers have very little idea where many of them. can be reached. To help solve this problem, all hunters visiting the Center will be encouraged to regester and indicate what area they intend to hunt in, and also, if possible, list local citizens or business houses with whom they will leave more detailed information, or can be contacted.
