It could only happen in First, we a great land like ours. But, It hardly seems like It should be time for the fall holiday season to begin, especially when you realise that little more than one month remains in this year.

She always looks so dowdy, her clothes are out of style; but I love to hear her singing and see her Alma R. Higbee. lovely smile." During the past two weeks, the greatest social highlight would have to be the Centennial Bolls held In Roosevelt and Duchesne. They were held In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Young Womens MIA organization. The one at Roosevelt was held Nov. 15, and at Duchesne last Saturday evening, Nov. 22. Each brought an excellent crowd of people anxious to participate In the festivities. But the thing that caught our eye, was the gowns worn by many of the stake board members and others at each ball. We had almost forgotten how graceful and even poetic the setting might be with a group of "hooped" gowns twirling, as if In to the strains of a beautiful waltz. Everyone Involved In the balls are to be commended for their efforts. We would say that they were a tremendous success, and a credit to the organization, now 100 years, old. Educatioa for future to be discussed at meet One of a series of eight meetings will be held at the Roosevelt Junior high school, Roosevelt, at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3, by the Designing Education for the future project committee.

Dr. Jay J. Campbell, deputy superintendent of public Instruction and Utah DEF coordinator, said the meetings will also consider school finance, management and economics.

The Is leaving a hole through the mountain 13 feet In diameter. Palmer B. DeLong, Bureau of Reclamation's Project Manager of the Central Utah Projects Office at Provo, reported that the mole had made good progress although some drilling problems had been encountered. Recently the mole entered wide fault zone filled with a 220-fo- ot loose, shattered rock from which considerable amounts of water flowed. Material foiling from the top and sides of the tunnel temporarily halted the moles progress. Steel braced rail spiling was driven to shore up the tunnel through the fault zone, while fallout material was removed from around the mole. Because the soft tunnel sides of the fault would not support the mole grippers at full pressure, the mole inched slowly through the fault zone, with hand labor accounting for most of the progress. Drilling is now proceeding normally through sandstone and conglomerate which provides adequate support for the hydraulic grippers. The grippers braced on the sides of the tunnel hold the machine stationary while a hydraulic ram forces the cutting head against the rock. After cutting about 5 feet, the mole is moved ahead on runners to obtain a new grip on the sides of the tunnel. The mole Is now progressing at a rate of about 300 feet per week. ng 80-t- on and for the period totaled $30, 1969 goal for Duchesne County," Utah State Director Kathleen Melkle for Savings Bonds Division announced today. "State-wid- e totals for bond sales reached $22,733,890 or 87.4 per cent of our 1969 quota. While this total varies only 1968 total for the $37,000 from the same period, it is 10.5 per cent higher in achievement of the grand total," the Director stated. 091 Drilling of the tunnel is well ahead of schedule in spite at the problems experienced. Completion of the tunnel, including a concrete lining; was scheduled for January 1971. Boyles Bros. Drilling Company and Gibbons and Reed Construction Company are constructing the tunnel under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation at a cost of $5,594,823, and intend to complete the project several months ahead of schedule. Water Hollow Tunnel, when completed will have a diameter of 10.5 feet and will carry water from Water Hollow Creek to Strawberry Reservoir. The tunnel is the first section of the Strawberry Aqueduct, a major feature of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project.
