You can always he used as a had example. Its been a rather quiet week. No new developments on the situation at StarvaThe weather has been tion reservoir. more or less the same now tor a couple of weeks (all we need Is some warm weather without wind, to make use of the moisture), and activities at the schools have resorted to the mundane schedule that precedes the hectic final weeks of the year. There have been a couple of developments, however. For Instance, we have been Informed that the material for registering campers Is now available at the county office, and will also be available at Roosevelt next Monday. And remember, you must have this registration done prior to May 10 If you expect to use your camper at that time. The new camper law has evoked much discussion, and we don't know just how It will all turn out. Some questions have been raised. For instance, one lady said that they had already made arrangements to let their son use their camper for one month during the summer. The camper would l put on the son's truck, however, and the decal showing that the camper taxes had been paid would be on the parent's truck. How can the loaning of a camper be done? Of course they will work out these bugs, but In the meantime be sure to get your outfit registered. And another development is the announcement that there is to be an new TV setup being installed on the hill between Roosevelt and Rlueliell, to Improve the television reception In the area. This will le a welcome change. By the way, the seating is completed In Union High's new auditorium, and It was full Monday evening for a public show. Other than that, It's been a quiet week.
