It seems that with the usual hectic rush of the season, we just dont have the time to put Into writing that we A loan has been made available to the Uintah Basin Telephone Company, accorE. ding to a call from Sen. Frank Moss office December 30. The loan notification came from the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Rural Electrification Administration. The amount of the loan Is $400,000 and Is to be used for the purpose of 1 to finance facilities to serve 338 new subscribers; 2 construct additions to the dial central office building In the Rand- - should. Weve found that resolutions do help, though. As we glanced back through the papers for 1969 the other day, we couldnt help but notice that during the first part of the year the copies reflected much greater thought In news and editorial writing than was evident as the year progressed. This year we resolve to keep our resolutions clear through the year. It has been said that although man Is the only creature endowed with the power of laughter, It Is perhaps fitting that he too Is the only one that deserves to be laughed at. By the way, If youre worried about the lack of snow in the mountains, you shoulIt surprised us to note In the dnt yet. last Issue of the paper In January lhst year, that to that time there was little or no snow In the hills. And as we thought back, we can remember flying over Indian Canyon In January, and seeing It totally "bare. But, then came the snows, giving us a rather heavy water year by the tiftie summer came around. You just cant tell what It will be. There Isnt much snow In the watersheds yet, but wethink'lt is bound to come. Speaking of water, we cant helpwonder just how high Starvation reservoir will get next summer. Will It get high enough for some boating? Will .access be such that boats can get In and out easily, before the water gets up to the launching ramp that Is to be built? How many years will It take to fill the new reser- voir? It Is mostly speculation, of course, with a great deal depending on the water years. However, It Is hard to wait tor this new facility to be put Into use. We hope the Duchesne area Is maklngplanstomake full, use of this potential gold mine.

January and February In which to fight uterine cancer with education and a Pap clinic. Out of the 35 million American women between ages 35 and 70, 32,000 will get uterine cancer this year. The greatest opportunity to contract the disease is after age 35, but no age is Immune. IF women have an annual physical examl- - t nation, of which the Pap smear Is a part, this type cancer can be caught early and CURED. There are now 180,000 women who have had cancer of the uterus, and are cured, alive and well 5 years after the end of treatment. The major weapon against this form of cancer Is simple, quick and painless. It is a test developed by a Dr. George N Papanicolaou, and named for him. It has saved countless lives. The body normally sheds cells from the uterus which tend to collect In the vagina near the cervix. The physician can easily get a sample of such secretions. It has also been found that early detected cervix cancer can be cured for $300 while a failed to cure case costs $12,000 to the Individual and community before death occurs. The American Cancer Society with the General Federation of Womens Clubs seek to reduce sharply In fact, eventually eliminate uterine cancer as a cause of death. A goal of Federated Club members Is Snowpack below average to have a health check up and Pap Smear as the first step toward a lifelong habit of annual examination. Clubs will keep records of members. AWARDS will be given Clubs with 75 and 100 participation. Since 1936 through cooperation with womens groups the ACS has helped gradually lower the death rate 50. in uterine cancer, mainly through encouraging annual examinations. The East Duchesne County cancer committee organized a Pap Smear clinic a year ago.

Indian Canyon has 20 Inches snow with Mosby Mountain 3.4 Inches water, which Is 74 percent of the long time average. The snow measurements were made by two man crews, Including LaMar Wilson or Mark Peterson of the Soil Conservation Service, assisted by Dan Baird or Herb Allen of the Forest Service. Because of a break down with the SCS snow machine, Orvll Rudy took Mark Petersen Into the Paradise Park snow course with his snow mobiles and assisted with the measurements there.

Dennis Is a student at the college of Eastern Utah In Price, majoring In Geology and has spent a lot of time working In the Geology department there. Under the direction of Professor Donald L. Burge, Dennis and two other students took the mold from the original skull of a twenty-tw- o foot allosaurus which was found In the Cleveland-Lloy- d Quarry In 5mery county. Replicas like this one have been made and sent to various colleges and universities, Including one In Tokyo, two In Germany and numeJapan, rous schools In the U. S. He was able to make this one in his spare time and brought It home during the holidays to donate to Union for their Geology department. On hand to receive the mold were Orvell Hulllnger, principal of Union, and David Hunt, geology instrucallo-saur- us tor. The allosaurus lived approximately years ago during the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era of Geologic time. He was a meat eater, stood on his hind legs, and has been known to grow as tall as 25 feet, sometimes reaching a full length of 35 feet, half of which was 70 million A tall. Dennis has also taken a mold of the claw and entire finger of one of the allosaurus forearms. Dennis expressed the hope that his contributions will add Interest to the Geology classes and also assist Mr. Hunt In his teaching of Geology to Union high students. Dennis Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jensen of Randlett. Utah shares in NYC funds; life Tribe to frain 24 youfhs Tahionn jobs.

As usual, the game at Tabiona between the Tlgera and the Duchesne Eagles, was a thrilling battle. And It stayed that way right down to the final buzzer, ending 70 to 67 In favor of Tabiona. Both teams played well, and were able to score, as indicated by tlie respectable final tally. However, even Duchesnes above-averadefense could not take away the effectiveness of the Tabiona attack, particularly on their home court. At Altamont, the stronger Uintah team took the floor with full confidence of a victory. The Longhorns, far from conceding , however, slowed the running Utes, and matched them nearly score for score until the half. After halftime, Uintah jumped to an early lead, and with greater team depth were able to outrun the Longhorns, winning by a final 'score of 64 to 46. Union entertained a young building team from Manila Friday, and found the going rather easy. Lacking height, klanlla was unable to move the ball at all against Unions defense, and fell way behind during the first quarter. After the first period, Coach Gary Delange used the balance of the game to give much needed experience to every member of the Cougar squad, coming up with a 93 to 16 win. ge |
