The State Baord of Examiners has been cutting down on the requests of travel expense money for state departments. The latest in the state travel expense was the approval of five persons to attend a revenue sharing conference in San Francisco Nov. 2 and 3, but they denied requests from 6 other departments for travel monies.

A degradable low ng de ed density polythylene may be offered by the end of this year by the Boise firm. Chemical research, which developed plastic, worked on the problem of lengthening the life of the first plastics which were brittle and unstable. Now it has to confront the problem created by its own success by shortening the life of the later, more stable plastics. The research which has solved this problem will be useful in solving other problems concerning the stability of plastics, and perhaps problems as yet unforeseen. New Approach to Landscaping This is the time to plan for improvements and additions to home landscape and the top professionals in the field are suggesting a selfish approach for homeowners. The first question a home landscape gardener must ask himself is just how much maintenance can I handle? The final plan for outside decorating should hinge on the answer. The American Association of Nurserymen, spokesman for the nations nursery growers, garden centers, landscape designers and installers, says the best plan for residential landscaping can have unhappv results if it is beyond the ability or capacity of the resident to provide proper upkeep. Their answer to the problem is what some authorities in the organization refer to as zone maintenance. here and there the flower bed or other plantings which need trimming and weeding and fertilizing through their lifetime. The combination of the different kinds of attention are as should be geared to the time available and gardening interest of the people who 'will be responsible for the maintenance. The bachelor who works 14 hours a day should not plan a yard requiring a lot of care. On the other hand, the avid gardener who enjoys relaxation in the yard and has time for it will plan a very different kind of landscaping. The point is, the nursery experts maintain, that each outdoor plan should be selfish geared to the time and interest of the resident and planned for his pleasure. dial 860 Where thousands of listeners enjoy concert music and news every dayI A public hearing in the case of Snowbird resort building a new condominium complex has been slated.
