ENLARGED STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR After some question for awhile, It looks like the boat races are on for this Thursday evening at Starvation Reservoir as part of the Duchesne county fair. After the paper came out last week, we were Informed that we needed a state permit to have a boat race of any kind, and tUt we couldnt hold the race without the permit However, state boating people graciously worked with us In getting an application, and the permit has been cleared. There was some question as to the location of the race course. However, state boating officials and highway patrol felt there should be no conflict by holding the race adjacent to highway 40, where spectators could have easy access to the starting and ending point without traveling over less than Ideal roads to some other area of the lake. Final decisions as to the actual course will be made Thursday evening, and officials will be on hand to direct spectator traffic. Now, after all the obstacles, we hope that every boater In the county will have his rig out there to see how he measures up. Even If you dont win, get In on the fun of competition. An alarm clock Is a vicious mechanism used to scare the daylights Into people. two different groves of trees the other day which brought to mind a vivid comparison which we would like to note. The first grove was russlan olive, and the second was Chinese elm. Both these trees have advantages. The elm Is fast growing, provides excellent shade In a short time. The russlan olive was Imported as a fenceline cover tree, providing hedging for privacy, as well as excellent food and cover for wildlife. Both make a rather picturesque scene If properly cared for. But each of these trees has drawbacks. The elm, because It Is fast growing, does not put down a proper root system, and as the tree becomes large it Is easily blown over by a high wind. It Is also dirty with seeds and limbs causlnga great problem. But the real drawback Is in the fact that everywhere a seed drops, a new tree starts, spreading the elm around the country. But even the elm is not as bad as the . russlan olive. This plant Is actually taking over some fields. R spreads by root as well as seed, and If not controlled, can smother out all vegetation around It. And the names (Russian and Chinese) brings to mind the comparison we would like to make. Communistic and Socialistic trends are much the same as these trees. Some programs under these forms of government are highly attractive. They provide rapid "benefits", cover many social problems and from appearances could be highly deslreable. But, Just like some farmers who are hard put now to get rid of these plants, peoples who have been led down the glided path to socialism are now finding that the plan soon gets out of control, and begins spreading to the point it creates much greater problem than benefit. Just thought you might like to mull these thoughts over In mind as you read dally of new programs being proposed to lake care of our every need, from the cradle to the grave. 8:00 5:30 6:30 8:00 9:30 AUGUST 22 A.M.
