Geological survey makes water study near Hurricane The U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources is conducting an investigation of the ground-wate-r .source of Washington County west of the Hurricane Cliffs. The study was initiated for the purpose of answering some of the fundamental questions about ground water in the area. Such questions as: Where are the sources of recharge? Where is the water moving? How much is discharged? How much water can be discharged without depleting the resource? How is use of the resource limited by its chemical quality? With answers to such questions, the Utah State Engineer can more effectively manage the ground-wate- r resource for the maximum benefit of all residents of the area. The investigation is being spearheaded by Robert M. Cordova, hydrologist from the Utah District office, Water Reources Division, U. S. Geological Survey, Salt Lake City. Mr. Cordova is being assisted by G. W. Sandberg of the Richf'eld office and Wilson of the St. George office. A report will be published of the results of the investigation. All data collected is available to the public. Mr. Cordova, who has been collecting information in the area, says that the cooperation of local residents has been very good. Outgoing officers expressed appreciation for the assistance they have received during the past year and extended best wishes to the incoming officers. A very enjoyable time was had by the 40 people present. The dinner was roast beef. Cattlemen listened to speakers, Fred Howard and Grant Esplin, and pleased with the reports the two men gave, particularly with a statement by Mr. Esplin that the next five years look very promising for cattlemen. Rural air service to get official attention Air service to the nations rural areas was a step closer today as a result of action taken by Rep. Laurence J. Burton I received a letter from Secor (R-Uta- D. Browne, chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, promising prompt and comprehensive consideration of my request,Rep. Burton said. Burton had written the CAB Chairman December 1, requesting airline service to rural areas where the nations 30 million people are living without adequate air service. In Burtons letter he reminded Chairman Browne that the House passed a bill providing for a $5 billion program to improve U. S. airports. I supported that bill because I believe our airline transportation system must be updated, Burton continued. But I also think our rural areas must have air service, too. Citizens who live outside the great metropolitan areas must not be denied these services. Burton urged Chairman Browne to use the CABs authority to initiate a new policy setting class rates at a level that will allow the airlines to accomplish the goal of providing adequate air service n to America. I am convinced that airline service is justified to many points, Burton wrote the Chairman. Chairman Brownes letter to Burton said, in Congressman part: The Board has been quite concerned, for some time, about many aspects of the air service requirements of the smaller communities. The Board intends to give prompt and comprehensive consideration to your letter and we shall communicate with you in the near future as to the Boards thinking. non-urba- 0(sjsofta3 Word has been received in (SOots Ka- nab. direct from the North Pole, by the Kanab Lions Club, that Santa Claus, in person, will visit this little town on Wednesday, December 24 from 1:30 to 5 p.m. to visit with local youngsters and interview them concerning their good and bad record of the past year, prior to his yearly Christmas eve visits. do In the cold communique from the north it was learned that the jolly old elf would bid his interviews at the Kanab High School, and with some help from the Kanab Lions, likely will have some goodies for all those present.

Kane County Sheriff LaNard Johnson said Godfrey was attempting to turn the large truck around in the middle of the highway when it tipped over. A truck Thev are the people that visitwill ask about a certain area. If the waitress says shes never been there or reacts negatively, the traveler isnt going to want to go there either. Hell move on to another area or state and the owner has lost a second night customer. The same goes for a gas station or a motel owner whose employees dont even know about attractions in their city. Thats why we are joining forces with Utah State Universitys Outdoor and Recreational Studies Institute, in an effort to help employees understand the needs and wants of travelers. Because once the tourist comes to Utah, everybody must be well res-tura- nt informed and enough of a salesman to keep him here another night or another week. Beginning early m 1970, the seminars will be scheduled periodically around the state so that employers and employees can take advantage of the traveler education.
