The plastic, made from petrochemicals, is used in telephone housings and receivers, and in other products such as pipe, automobiles and electrical appliance. According to Mountain Bell Exchange Manager Theo W. Perkins, up to 6 million pounds of the used plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or abs) can be reclaimed annually by the Western Electric Co., and reused in communications equipment or elsewhere. "The recycling method was developed by Bell Labs scientists and Western Electric is the Bell System's manufacturing and supply unit, and Bell Labs is the research and development unit. 22 million lbSTof abut About 22 million pounds of ABS were used last year by the Bell System. It is hoped that rerycled ABS could supply a significant part of the Bell System's future needs. "In addition to helping ease solid waste disposal problems, recycling ABS will contribute to lessening the demand for oil, since many gallons must be processed to obtain materials necessary for production of one pound of ABS." Perkins continued. "The recycling process has been put into limited operation at Nassau Smelting Electric and Refining Co., a Western subsidiary, and at Western Electric's Nashville, Tenn., service center. Telephones taken from homes or offices for repair, or after people move, are returned to Western Electric for reconditioning.

Reporter Mary Jo Wight 4-- BUMPS' & Western Wear SPORTS OUTFITTERS Browns Park Waterfowl Management Area A scar? Yes, temporarily. What happened? During the past two years, the Slate of Utah, Division of Wildlife Resources under the Section 8 program Public Works Bills, Bureau of Reclamation, and with the cooperation of the Bureau of Land Management have been renovating approximately 300 acres of river bottom land formerly owned by the Sidney Corporation in Browns Park. The area is being converted from livestock use to waterfowl, big and small game, and fishery use. Approximately 200 acres of bottom land has been diked and is presently being undulated for waterfowl and fish management purposes. One hundred acres of upland area will be maintained in grain and legume grass mixtures for all existing game feeding purposes. A large scar can be observed along the steep hillside adjacent to the Green River in Browns Park. This scar resulted from major construction to rebuilding the water supply system to the lower 300 acres being developed. The old canal was built in the late 1920s and was not adequate to supply present and future water requirements of the new Parson's Unit, nor was it built to accommodate modern machinery that would be required to maintain the system. The existing canal was cleaned, major cliff sluff areas were brought to a suitable grade and the lower flattened to support a maintenance road for equipment. In years past, stuffing of the slopes and damming of the canal by beaver often resulted in major washouts along the system. To alleviate this problem in the future, the roadway system was incorporated into the renovation of the canaL This will speed up considerably the maintenance of the canal. In the past, the system had to be walked out (two miles) and considerable difficulty was encountered in trying to get equipment to a trouble spot. Since the inception of the Browns Park Waterfowl Management project, we have found pumping to be very expensive and occasskmally unreliable. The gravity flow canal system to the Parsons Unit will result in approximately a $6,000 savings to the Wildlife Division and ultimately the sportsmen in pump power and maintenance costs. The existing pumping facilities are constantly being plaqued by algae that plug the intake screens and reduce the discharge rates up to 50 percent. When this occurs, power draw increases up to 30 percent. The scarred area along the Green River is being revegetated to native grasses, shrubs, and trees. The scar should heal over in about three to five years and ultimately provide more habie and game species found tat for along the river. The new area will be under an intensive management program for wildlife on a maximum use basis.

The Babysitting Safety Clinic consisted 4 six sessions on various subjects. Guest speakers were Grace Jenson, County Nurse, and Leonard Ferguson, Highway Patrolman. In order to complete the course young people had to attend four out of the six sessions, take a test, and bring an entertainment idea. Mrs. Kenna Ross, Community Representative, presented the certificates. Out of forty young people signed up thirty-tw- o completed the course. Thirty-on- e one boy are included in the and girls group.

Students from the Con Amore school in Myton who participated were: dash, Kenneth Isaacks, Marie Keele, Cherie Duncan, Leslie Washburn; and spectators, Bart Turn bow, Danny Mace and Dallas Perry. Virginia Day, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Day, Duchesne, was selected to be a princess for both days. Sixteen princesses chosen were taken to the beauty shop, to lunch and given corsages. Events for both days included games for the d run, d relay, planned recreation, a parade with opening ceremonies including introduction of guest celebrities and the special princesses, and competition in the various events. Each participant received a ribbon; gold and silver medals were also awarded, just as in the regular Olympics. 220-yar- d motor-handcappe- 220-yar- Fraternities and sororities from the University were in charge of the arrangements for housing, events, etc. Leaders taking the Con Amore students were: Mrs. Jane Thompson, Ioka; Miss Joyce Moon, Duchesne; Mrs. Phyllis Day, Duchesne; and Mrs. Stella Turnbow, Tabiona. mounds have been built. As waterfowl populations increase, these mounds alone should increase goose nesting pairs by three times and duck nesting pairs by five times the present population levels found in Browns Park. A fisheries management program is presently being set up on the new unit dealing principally in brood stocking and climatizing hatchery fish to the wild. The upland farming areas will be important in providing food for wintering game populations. roosting-feedin- g I Redecorating? - loan Y Dowdy 7224591 Kohls Specials May 30 31 , June 1 I i i Rooiovolt, Utah Phono CLASS SCHEDULE Myton group completes safety 7224526 TIME i TUITION Ante Mechanics S4S.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 15.00 I FEES i i i i i 20.00 Indopoadoirt Study Skill training is sebiect nrans ether thee these Sited cee be nrrangod hi ceeperetiee with local besmeisei. i 7 number of sponsoring plans are available.
