A organization of Zions Coopera- v Jehovahs Witnesses of Utah Circuit No. 1, meeting under open skies, will begin their three-dacircuit convention Bible program in Elko, Nevada, Friday, May 24, and conclude Sunday evening, May 26. All sessions will be held at the Elko County Fair Grounds. Fred Vandres, presiding minister of the Salt Lake City congregation said that the convention theme will be Strengthening One Another to Remain in the Faith. In keeping with this theme, emphasis will be placed on the need to regularly and systematically study Gods Word, the Bible. The results will be a firm faith that benefits and encourages all others of like faith. The Bible refers to it as y an interchange of encourage- ment. Friday evenings program will highlight one of the. weekly meetings of Jehovahs Witnesses. This meeting, the ministry-trainin- g school, develops those who are enrolled in the art of public speaking and the ministry. According to Mr. of the interesting One Vandres, features about the school is that no one ever graduates, for it is designed for continuous training and development. On Saturday afternoon there will be a talk on Dedication and Baptism after which qualified candidates will symbolize their dedication to serve Jehovah God faithfully by being immersed in water. Then that evening the subject Fortifying Ourselves For the Future will be considered. The climax of the Bible educational program will be on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. when Floyd F. Garrett, special traveling representative of the Watchtower Society, Brooklyn, New York, delivers the much advertised Bible discourse entitled Why Does God Permit Wickedness? Mr. Vandres said that over 700 ministers are expected from Salt Lake City to Richfield in Utah and Ely and Elko in door-to-do- or Interior Department, through the Bureau of Reclamation, has filed the long awaited feasibility report on a $43.8 million Uintah Unit of the Central Utah Project Sen. Wallace F. Bennett said. The Utah Republican pointed out that the report was submitted to Congress on the eve of consideration in the House of Representatives of the Central Arizona Project which includes the Uintah Unit. The submission of this feasibility report which shows the project to be economically justified certainly enhances chances of enactment when the House considers the Lower Colorado River project beginning Wednesday. Our Congressman on the Interior committee, Laurence J. Burton, was successful in getting the Uintah Unit attached as an amendment to the Lower Colorado bill when the proposal was before the committee. Now that the full bill is going before the House the fact that the Interior Department has, in effect, approved the Uintah Unit, we are reasonably sure it will remain on the bill. Sen. Bennett pointed out that Commissioner Floyd E. Dominy said that the report has been prepared for review purposes and is subject to revision,' however. Although I do not think there is any real danger that an attempt will be made to knock out this important Utah bill, I am sure that filing of the feasibility report will make Congressman Burtons task in the House ing Saturday in Park City following the Utah Wildlife Federation Convention. Board members attending included Lewis Smith, chairman; Wesley Nelson, Dr. Paul String-ham- , and Evan Mickelson. Robert Bullock is recovering from a recent operation and is expected to be back with the board shortly. Armond Carr, chief of the Fiscal and Accounting section, presented the board a financial statement along with three items relating to licenses and license agents. The board approved purchases of maintenance equipment for game management, and field services sections along with renewal of two shooting preserves licenses and leases for domestic livestock grazing on Division of Fish and Game lands. A presentation was made for development of a recreational plan at Hardware Ranch. that much easier. Sen. Bennett said that the unit would serve Uintah and Duchesne counties in northeastern Utah. It is located in the Uinta Basin, which is part of the Upper Colorado River Basin. .
