In rddilion to the Red Hat specials to be found throughout the week, the Roosevelt Area Chamber of Commerce is spearheading a move 'to make the traveling hunters welcome here.

We were glad to note thia week that a meeting is being planned to organize a new Scout troop in Roosevelt. We feel it should fill a great need for boys who now live in the area who do not belong to the LDS church. There have been several attempts in past years to get such a troop going, but the attempts were fruitless. The time seems ripe now for a troop to be successful. We have heard comments critical of scouting leaders, due to the fact that the only troops in the area are sponsored by one church. This is unusual, and hard for those moving in to understand. But it is not because there has been any anamosi-t- y towards other religions. Rather, it has been simply the fact that there has not been sufficient numbers to make a program successful This has now changed. A MboypowerM survey at local schools by scouters indicate that there are sufficent numbers for one or more additional troops if the support is forthcoming. So, if you are interested, be at the meeting Thursday evening at 7:90 at the Catholic Church. Father Winterer is hosting the meeting, but he is being assisted by leaders of other denominations in the area to make the effort -- It is a mystery to some why men still go hunting and fishing when it is new deemed acceptable to grew a beard and mustache at the office. Congratulations to the Duchesne foot- ball team. They knocked over a highly favored crew from East Carbon last week, and have turned a few sports writers eyes in their direction. As we remember, East Carbon was rated about number 4 team in the state in their division. The prognosticators had not even considered Duchesne in the ratings. But we think they will It has to be some kind of "upset of the week". They are to be commended for their team effort. We feel that Duchesne is building a strong football program, and will have to be one of the teams considered in coming years. And also Allamont came up with a win this week, their first since starting league play last year. Congratulations. Courage would have to be William Toll's sou standing there with the apple on his head, while his Dad put on his bifocals. This is National Newspaper Week. And although we are not one to loot our own horn, we invite our readers to consider the contributions of newspapers in their lives. We would hope our paper is a force in bettering our communities, offering a source of current information, and offering merchants a means of advertising their wares in a free enterprise system. We don't mean to imply that we are doing the best job possible. We realize our shortcomings perhaps even more than anyone else. But we do have a sense of pride in some of the accomplishments that have been made over the past several years. We would welcome your suggestions and help, however, in seeing that newspapers, one of the bastians of your basic freedoms, will always be free. - A consolidation THE VOLUME 61 ROOSEVELT STANDARD, and ROOSEVELT, UTAH NUMBER 41 THE UINTAH BASIN full-scal- e 8-- for Webb Resources, an oil and gas firm, is representing a group investing $500,000 in the program as a unit-WeGary Operating Co., and Jerry Chambers Oil Producer, all of Denver. Preparatory work already is underway on the scheduled project to test a process and hardware invented by Paraho Development Corp. of Denver. The program will be conducted at the Anvil Points oil shale facilities of the Bureau of Mines near Rifle, Colorado leased from the federal government. Preparation of the existing facilities at Anvil Points was begun in early September, a month ahead of schedule, immediately after the first ten participating companies authorized launching the program without further delay. The ten companies approved on August 31, 1973 a two-steapproach, based on the $5 million committed at the time, according to the program director, Harry Pforzhei-me- r, vice president of Sohio Petroleum Co., one of the participants. The initial step, requiring $4.5 million, would demonstrate Paraho's internal foot diacombustion process in an 'i meter kQn or retort. This process burns carbon off the retorted shale and uses some of the hydrocarbons in the shale itself to provide heat in the form of a recycle gas for extracting oil and gas from shale. Pilot plant tests in a smaller retort also would be conducted on a variation of the process using an external bb, p 8-- the project.

The transaction is expected to include 13 producing wells and a commitment by the buyer to drill additional tests on McCulloch's acreage in the vicinity of the two fields. The sale will also carry the reversionary right of the seller to recover 50 percent of any net operating income from the 13 existing wells and any future producers drilled on the lands involved, after the buyer has recovered its investment plus a negotiated profit.
