County Recreation Leagues Begin Nov. 1 One of the intermountains largest basketball programs gets under way on Nov. 1. Thats the opening night of the Salt Lake County Recreation Departments adult mens basketball play. More than 200 teams will compete for the top honors in some 25 different leagues. Gary C. Swensen, superintendent of the recreation department expects a record number of teams and players to be registered in this activity. Requests for admission into the county hoop program have been received from many teams which will be first year entrees, and almost all of last years teams will be back. Many of the area top hoopsters are in these recreation leagues. Many rosters are made up of names well known to Utah university and college basketball fans. This season these recretion leagues will use the red, white and blue ABA ball, known to local players and fans. If player response is good to the ball, it will be used in following seasons. Approximately 2,000 players will be suited up.

A meeting on this same topic will be held in the eastern portion of the United States at a later date. John A. Green, EPA Regional Administrator, said the members would spend the first two days inspecting animal agriculture activities throughout the area, paying particular attention to feed lots and measures being taken by some local operations to prevent water pollution. The board is particularly interested in exploring ways federal agencies can be helpful to farmers and ranchers in matters of water quality. Green stressed that the board wanted to hear from the public regarding the effects of animal agriculture on water quality. Citizens desiring to appear at the evening session should bring 25 copies of their statements and submit them to the executive secretary of the board prior to their appearance. One of the members of the presidents board is William D. Farr, Greeley, Colorado, presiAmerican dent of the National Cattlemens association.

He is a member of the Colorado Cattlemens association and a founding member of the Colorado Cattle Feeders association, which he served as director and vice president. His contributions to the cattle industry were recognized when he was named 1968 Feeder of the Year by Feedlot Magazine and when he received the 1969 American Meat Institutes Animal Agricultural award. Farr-owne- Deer Meat Care Deer meat flavor is best when the hunter properly cares for the animal afer the stalk is over. The closer a hunter can come to professional packing house methods of meat care, the better the game will taste on the table. Wildlife officers remind that failure to cool the game properly before transporting it, hauling it in places where it cant cool and the inadequate cleaning of game are three of the major causes of poor flavored meat. In caring for deer meat in the field: (1) The animal should be cleaned and dressed immediately; (2)- A11 blood and hair should be washed from the carcass before taking it home. Water wont hurt the meat if allowed to drain off; (3) Meat should be allowed to cool before being transported to the locker. Hang the deer so air can circulate freely around it, out-doorsm- OF ECOLOGY CIVIL ENGINEERING LAUNCHES NEW ERA Civil engineers have liter- the need for understanding ally changed the face of the the social and environmental earth.

In the 60s, civil engineers designed manned spaceship launching sites; in the 70 s their most spectacular achievements will probably be concentrated in the area of environmental control. Targets will be air, sea, and land pollution. The objective will be to. design facilities for living which do not wear out resources or destroy wild creatures. This work wiil require bold, imaginative planning and much research. This was pointed out recently by Oscar S. Bray, president of. the American Society of Civil Engineers, who also said: Advancements in the areas where civil engineers are active have gone far towards making possible the great growth in our national economy and in the development of the standard of living here that is the envy of the world. That this high standard is The great task of advancing the science and profession of engineering is not finished, indeed, will never be finished. Means of avoiding or correct- ing and controlling the damage we do to our environment are still far from perfect. Todays civil have a engineers lot going for them. They use the latest techniques of operations research, systems analysis, mathemati- cal probability, statistical theory, and computer technology in problem solving. Advanced techniques make the solutions more accessible but also make increasing demands upon the skill of the engineer.

It is of concern to uates now take masters and engineers as individuals, as it doctoral degrees. The problems ahead are tough ones, should be to all Americans.
