Show Know the soil Under your New building Education satelite Telecommunication is in Rocky Mountains A major milestone has been reached the establishment in inexpensive earth stations can pick up its transmission. Televised programs beamed from Denver to the satellite, then down to the participating sites, will be aimed primarily at Junior high school students. Participants at some of these sites will be able to respond instantaneously by voice back through the system to Denver or to other two-wa- y sites. of a Satellite-base- d telecommunications system in the Rocky Mountain Region. Officials of the Satellite Technology Demonstration--- ! project of the Federation of Rocky Mountain States-Saturd- ay announced the successful completion of a series of tests and simulations involving newly established satellite earth stations in the Region and an orbiting communications satellite, the ATS-3- , (Applications Technology Satellite 3) The announcement was made by Dr. Arthur L. Bishop, Utah Satellite Technology Demonstration State Coordinator for the Utah State Board of Education. The STD, funded mainly by the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, will utilize this satellite and another to be launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration this spring to beam educational television into rural schools in eight Rocky Mountain States. The states are Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and Utah. The Utah Demonstration sites are Blanding, Enterprise, Heber City, Kanab, Morgan, Panguitch and Hyrum. The satellite to be launched by NASA in the spring-t- he be the world's largest and most powerful communications satellite. From a stationary orbit 22,300 miles in space, it will be the focal point of a telecommunications system encompassing 56 rural schools in the eight states as well as Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations in the region. For four days during the past week, three satellite earth stations in the Rocky Mountains-Lapwa- i, Idaho; Carlin, Nevada; and Heber City, Utah; as well as a network coordinating center in Denver, Colorado-we- re involved in the initial broadcast experiments prior to launch of the ATS-F- . Also participating in the testing and simulation were NASA earth stations at Greenbelt, Maryland and Mojave, Calif. The testing was aimed at demonstrating the STD's capability to conduct communications traffic for typical experiment periods and situations. "I am really pleased with the progress made with the initial transmissions," said Albert Whalen, a NASA Representative at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The simulations were a success. I feel that in a very short period of time a lot has been accomplished due to the high quality of personnel from the Federation of Rocky Mountain States in this experiment. Drt Gordon A. Law, STD Project last week's tests rector, in Denver-saiproved that it is possible to design, install and operate a multipoint communications network via satellite. "This is unusual in satellite communications and demonstrates the excellent technical skills of our staff," Law said. The STD will be mans first widespread telecommunicause of a satellite-base- d tions system in direct educational applisatellites cation.

Many people, Mr. Heaton says, buy or build their dream house and think they have everything they need: beauty, nice location, good construction, modern conveniences, enough spare and a price they ran almost afford. They move in thinking they may have to make some minor adjustments, touch up the paint, or fix a door that sticks. Then it happens, the basement floods. The septic tank doesn't work. The foundation slips or cracks, a hillside slides into their house, or their split level house really does split. Their dream house turns into an expensive nightmare. These things, according to Mr. Heaton, happen too often to homeowners in Duchesne County who carefully checked everything. Everything, that is, except the soil. . .the basic foundation of every house. They carefully check the blueprints, and watch the contractor and the construction when they build, or they look at dozens of houses before they buy. They look at everything from the foundation up, and forget, or just don't know BALLARD Mr. Tctiatka Ramra . . .

Among other things, ask yourself; is the soil a heavy clay that will swell when wet and shrink when dry and cause my house to settk and crack? What about the water table and the soil (H'rmcabilily: Can 1 dig a basement and keep it dry, or will it flood during certain times of the year1?

Will salt and alkali in the soil limit the growth of lawns, flowers, trees and shrubs? Will mineral in the soil eat away the concrete in walks, driveways, and in the foundation of my home?

Will slippage problems develop after the soil becomes saturated with water from irrigating lawns and flowers, or after it is thoroughly soaked with effluent from septic tanks? Is the hillside above my house so steep that it will slide down onto, or into my house? Was the house built on loose, uncompacted fill that was pushed onto the hillside where it will settle and allow my house to shift? Answers to these questions, Mr. Heaton says, can be obtained with little effort and no cost. The Soil Conservation Service at Roosevelt. above the Post Office has a soil survey on part of the county, and technicians are available to investigate special problems. They also have literature that deals with soils for building sites and septic systems. ATTENTION Howard Paper products wholesalers, oil companies and Ft. businesses.
