Anderson and his family Operate Andersons Food Center in Salina. In making the presentation, Mrs. Anderson noted: This award is presented to a citizen of our community who has lived here since 1942. He has been a very devoted man both to his family and community. He was born and raised in Elsinore. His father was a merchant there, so he grew up with the same love to follow in his fathers footsteps, which he did. He worked in scouting there Rex Christensen, our banker, was one of his scouts. Also, he worked in scouting many years in the North Sevier Stake, acting as finance chairman. He was a charter member of the Richfield Jaycees and has held all the offices in the Salina Jaycees. He also was an active member of the Salina - Lions and Chamber of Commerce for many years, as well as County Polio Chairman and on the Salina City Council. He loves fishing and hunting with his son, but due to an accident, his activities are somewhat limited. This man is a very quiet person who never asks any praise from anyone, but gives daily to someone, be it a small child, a hitchhiker, or an organization in need of something - church, school, or community. Besides what has been mentioned, he has done many other things too numerous to list. This man we give honor to today has love by caring for exhibited Christ-lik- e and about other people in many different ways. Sometimes the things done for others are gigantic in nature, but most often are small and unnoticed, except of course, by the ones involved. They always notice and their lives are changed because of him. - He is married to a lovely companion Lula D. King Anderson from Marys-val- e. Today we give this honorary P.T.A. Membership to Lynford Anderson. . City Clean-U- p Set For Saturday Salina Day has A special Clean-U- p been scheduled for Saturday, June 9.

Anyone who cleans up prior to June 9 may have their lawn trimmings and primings hauled away by calling the city hall. Members of the committee are Mr. and Mrs. Elton Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Robin Mickelson, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Shaheen, and Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kiesel. Most Improved - Established and Most Improved Residence, New Residence. Prizes are $25 for first and $10 for second.

Mr. and Mrs. Elton Taylor are chairmen of the committee, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Dale Shaheen, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kiesel, and Mr. and Mrs. Robin Mickelson. A flood ditch traverses the property from east to west and probably will be left as it is, rather than buried, the mayor said. A bridge will be construc- ted across the ditch, and the trees along it left in place. The city owns about 40 acres in the area. - . A pressurized irrigation system ' proposed for Salina City will be ex- should make the project pretty affordable, according to Robert Jensen, councilman responsible for the citys water system. The total irrigation project construction cost will be about $1.25 million, he estimated. I was quite concerned about spending that much money, but Im convinced now that the project will be worth the price, and if we can get the Community Impact Board and the Utah Water Resources Board to help out, the user cost will be about as reasonable as we could ask, he commented. Rapid growth has made it necessary for the city to look into putting irrigation water from Salina Creek to its best use in order to conserve culinary water, supplied from springs in the Lost Creek area . The city could be out of culinary water next year if the pressurized system is not installed, engineers estimate. New water connections would have to be refused, and present useage curtailed or rationed, the mayor said. There simply isnt enough culinary water to be used for irrigation, too, Mayor Conover stated. Many persons now use the culinary water for irrigating lawns and gardens because they are unable to utilize the ditch water. By installing a pressurized irrigation system, residents could use the irrigation water at any time and any place, thus freeing the limited culinary water for its intended use. For years we've used open ditches and damming to move water around town in the summer for irrigating lawns and gardens. But the loss of water from evaporation and seepage, and the fact that flood irrigation is about its only use, makes the system Mayor Conover quite ineffective, noted. By enlarging the reservoir and piping the water to taps for every water user, well be able to use the irrigation water for ALL outdoor warm weather, uses, she said. Our engineers estimate this program will mean our drinking water will be able to supply all our indoor needs until the year 2000 and beyond. The city council has banned future private swimming pool construction in the city to conserve the culinary water supply. A new water storage tank is presently under construction south of town.
