The Utah Republican said the reorganization would also increase the trsvel, phone and mail distance between BLM land users. Gam opposes BLM reorganization Senator Jake Garn today took a firm atand against the proposed reorganization of the Bureau of Land Management in Utah. Garn said that, to this point, he has not taken a define te stand on the issue, because he felt that a sufficient number of public hearings had not been held and that a needed economic study had not been completed. He said he 'emphasized in the past that the burden of proof to show that a reorganization was necessary rested with the BLM, and that the people of the state should not have to show that the change was not necessary. As far as I'm concerned, Gam said in a letter to the Department of the of Land Interior, "The Bureau Management has failed miserably to make its point (R-U- t) "First, the series of meetings held in Monticello, Kanab, Fillmore, and Vernal have failed to generate more than token public support for the reorganization, Garn said. Secondly, the overall economic advantages to the taxpayer are not significant, and in fact it would be economically detrimental to small cities. Finally, the priority the BLM has chosen to hang its hat on appears to be administrative efficiency. I object to this type of reasoning which, in essence, is reorganization to give the illusion of progress." Garn said that in addition, no data has been revested to show the supposed inadequacies of the present organization. He said that rural areas affected by d "In conclusion, he said, many of the citizens attending the public hearings have made it known to me that they feel totally helpless. They feel that the BLM has gone through the motions of inviting their input but that it had been, and will be, completely ignored. In addition to everything else, Im opposed to this reorganization on the grounds that the people of Utah just do not want it. m Pointing & Roofing UINTAH FARMERS Urethane Caetrectsrs lac.

The cover story of Sunsets May issue e is a spread about the unusual vacation opportunities offered by the rock art of the ancient tribes of these two states, but Sunset also stresses the of importance understanding and preserving the unique and fragile six-pag- artwork. The article lists 17 areas in Utah and three in Arizona on both sides of the Green, San Juan and Colorado Rivers as spots for visiting and viewing. Many of the panels are in remote spots, and some rock art may still remain undiscovered in the roadless depths of the wild canyon country. To view these secluded artworks, Sunset editors suggest guided trips by vehicles or foot, horse, boat. All prehistoric rock art, cliff dwellings and other ancient artifacts on public land are protected under the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906. But enforcement is difficult in the vast canyon galleries of the Southwest, Sunset points out. A few of the artworks are under the watchful eyes of park rangers or barricaded behind chain-lin- k fences, but the great majority of rock art panels survive only because of their innaccessibility. New legislation is being drafted to help federal, state, county and tribal agencies West Highway 40 at the edge of town We're Sportsmen's Headquarters .

The program is set to begin at 8 p.m. protect rock art sites within their jurisdiction. But Sunset proposes that the most effective protection will evolve from and a wider appreciation of of these the importance understanding a hands-of- f policy on the antiquities-an- d of visitors. the part Most of the art was executed some time before 1300 A. D. It is generally accepted that the majority of the cliff dwelling residents responsible for the artwork abandoned the area by that time. Little is known about these early artists. They were farmers who developed their cliff dwellings settlements along the Colorado River drainage system sometime between 500 and 800 A. D., according to Sunset. By 1300 A. O. most of the settlements had been abandoned due to an invasion, a great drought or some other major distruptkm which drove them away. There are a few examples of rock art in which was done the area datingpost-1500- , mostly by the Navajo and Ute, according to Sunset. These pieces depict changes brought about by European influences: horses, wheels, rattle, European fruits, Christian Symbols, swords and firearms. Interpretation of the rock art ranges from those who maintain that they are collections of graffito to those who see evidence of extraterrestial visitation. d interpreters concede that some parts of the rock art panels may be doodling, but that major figures and designs may be magical symbols to keep away evil spirits, insure good hunting, promote fertility or bring about other good. Some panels may even depict actual events or important ceremonial occasions of that time. There are two kinds of rock which are pictures incised in stone and pictographs which are laboriously painted pictures. Panels range from heroic murals of costume figures to highly stylized animals to abstract symbols. Middle-of-the-roa- -- CHII.I) PSYCHOLOGY Revolutionary new approaches to keep coming out.
