Steffens, Staff Assistant in charge of recreation from the United States Department of Agriculture. The public is literally destroying the forests through stealing and defacing camp sites in the Uintah National Forest. The purpose of the Forest Service is for the preservation of forest, water and forage. They maintain a three year rotation and site improvement program for recreation sites for this district. The district recreation sites are divided into geographic areas. A program of rotation will be applied to each canyon independently which will allow campsites to be repaired and areas to be reseeded where signs of fatigue are discovered. Cherry Camp in Hobblecreek will be closed this season. Each canyon is being treated as a unit in itself. In this way there will always be camps available to the public. During the rotation periods, the public will always be assured of 50 percent usage of the camps. Excellent campsites in Spanish Fork and Payson Canyons are being developed. The cycle of rest rotation will be Bradley There is not a living things on earth, that was not born with the opportunity of something to do to accomplish. It is our choice to magnify or forsake opportunities which our God has given. Everything of nature also has life the mountains, rocks, sands of time, every element has opportunity to grow in its own element and each shall have opportunity to find paradicical glory. Without a question we all know that man is Gods greatest accomplishment. He Fathered each person Spiritually and placed each on earth through a glorious process of life and creation. Why do some prosper, achieve and glorify their Heavenly Father while some foster laziness, evil and ungodliness? We of course do know through our Church teachings, that many were far more valiant in the Spirit World than their brothers and of course they naturally come to earth with more potential for faithfulness and desire to seek God by learning and work. Each person is given 24 hours a day and what we do with the precious minutes by way of magnification is of course our agency. We choose no one can grow for another. If we could only learn that time is life and that we must guard and use it wisely for therein lies the secret of Godliness. We are Gods children and are brothers and sisters and each one of us are given a span of life, to learn Gods will and find the key for health, wisdom and knowledge enough to return to His Kingdom. He offers glory far greater than mortals can visualize, to each child who desires it enough to work, to learn, to serve and to HcHir on the left: Wayne Shephard and scramble calf donated by the Utah Valley Auction taken May 1, 1969.

Evans, District Forest Ranger in Spanish Fork, said today that the recreation facilities in Hobble Creek, Diamond Fork and Maple Canyons, will be operated on a different schedule than they were last year.

The answer to these conditions, he went on to say, is to Umit the use on selected sites and channel strong recreation pressures to the lesser used sites. In order to speed up the improvement of deteriorated sites at the least cost to the taxpayers some will be closed for one full year to give recovery to the plants. The closed sites will then be opened the following year on July 1. On the third year they will be open to full use for the entire recreation season. Ranger Evans stated that by adjusting the time of opening this way he hopes to avoid having to completely close the heavily used sites, plow the ground, plant new vegetation and then keep the sites closed for three or more full years to permit the new vege- - Club members overhauled the PBX board, hooked up four extension phones buffet luncheon: was served. and installed a power unit.

APOLLO 13 by Dee Sanford Millions watched and prayed for the fate of three That brushed the wings of God In silent ecstasy returned To splash down in the sea. With abated hearts millions aclaimed the fate of the three That had brushed the wings of God with silent ecstasy returned to Splash down in the sea. se A tour through one of the canyons revealed serious damage as a result of vandalism. Mr. Steffins referred to 21 cases of vandalism that have taken place since the closing of the campsites in October. A charcoal grill valued at 25 dollars had been stolen from a camp. It has been located. The individual now has a misdemeanor charge against him. He forfeited his bail of $50 by not appearing at court. Printing Works for Your Business Let us help you plan the forms and letterheads ... at a you need cost you'll like. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE Extensive damage has been sustained in all of the campsites and it has been felt by the staff that the public be made aware of the situation. Information signs have been stolen. Students after having been caught, say they steal the signs to decorate their rooms. Large chains used to restrain cars from entering the camps have been removed from the posts with the use of vehicles. Traffic counters have been stolen. Toilet seats have been painted with molasses thus taking precious man hours for cleaning purposes. Many broken windows were found. It is estimated that damages for the past winters vandalism was in excess of $6,000. PREVENTION PRACTICES The forest service asks that private individuals jot down the license numbers of anyone caught damaging a campsite. They stated that by no means is the damage all due to youth. Many mature citizens are involved in this negative practice. Shotguns, sling shots and weapons of all types are used to damage the equipment. If the vandalism persists, steel gates will be used to protect the campsites. The Forest Service has 6,375 plastic bags to be used as garbage can liners; please use them for your litter. They will be placed sporadically throughout the camps. Mrs. Evans and Mr. Steffens said: We personally invite you as the public to become involved in this Rotation Site Improvement Program.
