Stamm of the Bureau of Reclamation. The hearing will begin at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of ihe Vernal junior high school, 721 West 100 South, in Vernal. The Jensen Unit ia to be constructed in northeastern Utah to utilize water to Brush Creek and the Green River. Main features of the unit would be Tyzaek Dam, Reservoir, Aqueduct, and Pumping Plant and Burns Pumping Plant. Most of the water would be delivered to the Ashley Valley and to Vernal for irrigation and for municipal and industrial The unit would permit purposes. development of 100 additional acres of marshland in Stewart Lake Waterfowl Heart Fund drive nets $610.35 The 1975 Heart Fund campaign conducted in Roosevelt totaled $364.46 in contributions, it was announced today by Grace Harris, local Heart Fund chairman. The residential drive for the county produced $610.35, with mail returns still coming in from families who were not at home when Heart Fund volunteers called, according to Mrs. Harris. The chairman expressed hope that mail contributions will increase the campaign total. Contributions should be addressed to HEART, P. O. Box 801, Roosevelt, Utah. 84066. Richard Abbott County Chairman and Grace Harris, Roosevelt City Chairman praised the work of local volunteers and the response of area residents. The generous response of the residents of the County reflects their increased awareness of the serious nature of the heart and blood vessel disease problem," Mr. Abbott said. It also demonstrates the public's strong conviction that' the Heart Association's programs of research, educational and community service are the major effective way to combat and eventually to control the nation's major cause of death. Other local Heart Fund chairmen have reported their totals to date as follows: Neola Chairman Connie Dye reported tutals of $87.23. Tabiona Hanna area, $67.13.

Subsequent requests will be aerom-ndated as time (HTinils following all scheduled presentations. Highlights of the 1975 programs include: (1) no land or conserving base requirement; (2) no limit on the amount of wheat or feed grain acreage a farmer can plant; (3) disaster payments for prevented planting or abnormally low yields; (4) deficiency jmymcnts if market prices fell below target prices; (5) acreage allotments used only to determine the maximum acreage eligible for payment; (6) crop substitution to protect allotment history; and (7) a $20,000 limitation on the amount of liaymcnts a person ran receive under all irograms combined. set-asid- e Hew Mnfflet Helps Fijjlil Pollution . . .
