Tin Dedicated iurinniif life Tribe calf sale nets 312 thousand dollars Our major cities have become so congested with cars and trucks that there are only two kinds of parking left Illegal and no. By the way, you won't find the traffic congestion problem In our communities around here. But even then some people complain. If they can't find a spot right In front of the store In which they want to shop, they feel picked on. But If they were to drive to the big town, they would think nothing of walking five blocks to do their shopping. Dont forget, the merchants In your own community deserve your support. We can . certainly use the tax revenue here as much or more readily than cm The 8th annual Indian calf sale was held Nov., 5 at the Uinta Sales Barn.

Mr. Cllliurn, who was born in Lousl-an- a , and reared In Texas, has risen to the greatest heights In music circles as an outstanding pianist. Yet as he strolled onto the stage to take his spot at the piano in front of the Utah Symphony, his six-fo- ot four lanky frame and easy swing gave more of an appearance of a lasketball player than a pianist. Although he looked and acted as common as the nelghliorhood boy around the corner his command of the piano and his Interpretation of the music left no doubt that he Is one of the great nt, subjects. Geologist warns of Signs falling ledge rock Continuing with .the street sign projert In Roosevelt, workers set miIin In cement prior to the attaching of signs designating streets within the city.

"The many little side canyons and arms Starvation Reservoir, together with the horizontal ledges, provide an unusually attractive recreation area." So stated Nell Murdock, Geologist for of the Bureau of Reclamation , In Ms report on the new reservoir. Murdock cautioned , however, the rising water will weaken some thin layers of shale, causing some minor rock falls. These potential rock fall areas are so small, he said, that usually a boat would not be near enough to shore to be damaged. "They are too numerous to Isolate by warning signs and If only general precautions are taken they should present no danger to Most of the reservoir banks boatmen. are In good condition. Murdocks report was prepared after a routine landslide surveillance survey of the lake. Similar surveys are conducted on each new Reclamation reservoir. Some minor rock slumping occurs In almost all new reservoirs, but the frequency drops off sharply after the first few years of water storage. Murdock said that only one point on the shore of Starvation Reservoir Is particularly dangerous. This point, about mile south of U. S. 40 on the west - side, Is a badly fractured ledge about CO feet above the water. "Some sloughing has already occurred and It seems certain that much more of tMs ' Murpoint will fall Into the reservoir, dock said. A warning sign has since been Installed on the cliff. In commenting on the recreation potential Murdock stated, "It Is possible to sit on clean sandstone ledges and fish the deep waters of Starvation Reservoir without the use of a boat. It Is certain to draw a large number of fisherman. During April and May of this year 450,000 two-inlong flngerllng trout were planted in the reservoir by the Utah Fish and Game Department. A spokesman for the Department said that by June, 1971, these trout should be about 10 to 12 Inches long. Due to necessary restrictions on the Federal Budget, construction of some recreation facilities at Starvation Reservoir The National Park has been delayed. Service, which Is responsible for these facilities, has put in the boat ramp. A water and sewer system for the campground as well as a new access road will be constructed next spring. Other facilities will be added as money becomes ch ones. But dont take anytMng away from the Utah Symphony, This group continues to be a marvel In the music world. Few states of the size of Utah have been able to put together an acceptable symphony orchestra, and none can match the national acceptance and stature of the Utah Symphony. It stands as a credit to the people of the state. Attesting to this fact, the "standing room only" crowd was very appreciative of both the orchestra and the guest soloist. available.
