For the entire year (October 1, 1968, to September 30, 1969) the runoff Is expected to reach 11.8 million acre-fe- et or 95 percent of normal. Lake Powell reached an all time high water surface elevation of 3,581 feet during July with a live surface storage of The lake is ex10,390,000 acre-fe- et pected to recede slightly before spring runoff starts in 1970. The release for water year 1969 will be about 8.8 million acre-fee- t. For the next 3 years theremust be after, about 26 million acre-fe- et released in order to deliver 75 million to the Lower Basin in the 1963-7- 2 acre-fe- et decade. Power loads should be adequate to utilize these larger releases during the next 3 years. The level of Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Green River has receded from its seasonal Mgh at elevation 5990 feet with a live storage of 2,045,000 acre-fee-t. R should continue to recede to elevation 5968 by the end of March 1970. Fontenelle Reservoir on the upper part of the Green River, Wyoming, is now at elevation 6504 feet after filling early in June. During the coming winter the elevation will be drawn down to approximately 6480. Navajo Reservoir on the San Juan River Is now at n seasonal high of about 6044 with a live content of about 1,162, 000 acre-fe- et The reservoir should gradually recede to elevation 6030 feet by the end of November 1969, end by the end of March 1970 Navajo Reservoir do Executive Vice President, Chamber of Commerce of the United Slates problem grows? Crime in the streets is an example. The local chamber may have a crime prevention program going, or could easily start one, with help from the National Chamber. But all too often the member who docs the fiercest talking about the crime wave is on the sidelines telling the others that what they arc trying to do about it won't work. The hippie is like that. He thinks we are hypocrites; that our ways are shams, full of injustice, demeaning to mans free spirit and deserving of his contempt, but he wouldn't turn his hand to try to reform anything we do. He just wants to be counted out of it . . . all the way out. Dissatisfied people come in two main types those who act and those who just complain. Progress depends on the active ones. In the past we've described the two in various ways Positive and Negative Thinkers, Boosters and Doubting Toms, Workers and Alarmists, and the like. The aginers were not always wrong but they had nothing much to take credit for. Their main use was in seeing that we carried along all that was best of the past as we move ahead. They were unpopular because they slowed the pace of change, but they saw no reason to change their ways. Now we have gone into an age of dissent, with youth leading the way, and the contrast has become much clearer. The hippies are here, defying, ridiculing, cursing just about everything that we do or care for, and offering nothing to replace it. They're an ugly bunch, with their bare feet, brazen manners and bawdry talk. But there is something more than filth that we should see in them. For here is idle protest in full bloom uninhibited, purposeless and Here, for the solid citizen to see as he grouses about City Hall with no intention of becoming politically active himself, is the ultimate condition of those who abandon all sense of personal responsibility for what goes on in the world around them. Here is the place indicated by those who say has businessmen whose answer delinquency, poor schools and bad politics is to take refuge in their pads in the suburbs, confining their constructive interests to their own neighborhoods. These men certainly dont live like hippies, but aren't they under the same kind of an escapist influence that the bearded ones and their tacky women are? Sure, these same men belong to the chamber, but thfit doesnt make them part of the community effort. Hippies join up with kindred souls in communes, too, but nothing of any use to the world comes from their kind of association. They gang up to share the shirking. Better worlds are built by men who come together in working teams, with each willing to do his share. That is how your chamber or association tries to operate. Internally, its goal is 100 per cent membership participation. It must settle for less, largely because there is a touch of hippie in so many of us. How much is in you? Why not test yourself? Ask yourself what is there about your city that you dont like? What do you do besides complain about it? Do you know what changes you would like? Does your chamber or association have a program that includes those improvements? If so, are you taking an active part? If not, are you urging that such a program be started? Don't waste your civic indignation. Put it to work. community Everylocal congestion, pollution, course, very few members of chambers of Of commerce or trade or professional associations will wind up in Hippieland. We are innoculated against the disease infecting that place. We care about society. Thats why we are organized. But isn't there a little bit of hippie in many of us? What about the businessman who withdraws from Jhe problems of his community who tends to pull farther back, in anger and confusion, the worse a should be zt or above elevation 6010 feet. Morrow Point Reservoir on the Gunnison River In western Colorado was Riled during 1969 and occasional spills were necessary over the spectacular 360 foot free fill spillway.
