Saunders is former police chief for Utah State University. He took over the post Saturday. In the Army, Saunders attended Officers Candidate Fixed Wing Flight School, School and an Officer's Advance School. In addition to qualifying as a paratrooper, Saunders held positions in the Army as a radio operator, aviation section leader, company commander and flight operations officer. He is continuing his affiliating with the service throuth the Army Reserve in Salt Lake City. Saunders expressed optimism about his new job in that he will be manager during a time of growth and change at the airport. He said it will be a challenge to be involved with the airport particularly since it will, in all likelihood, have an operating tower and a flight service station in the near future. Saunders was police chief at the university from 1968 to the time that it was disbanded last year. Dfi) (Special ed on to the Cache Va Hey Citizen ) Despite the yearly ups and downs connected with farming and ranching, it continues to be big business in Cache County. Because of the value of the as number better of than them before. made out The findings are based upon a national survey released by the Standard Rate and Data Service and upon reports from the Department of Agriculture and others. The figures for Cache County, as given by SRDS, show gross revenues in the past year of 824.161.000. It was more than it was three years ago, when a similar 820.769.000. That before survey listed was the gross amount, taking operating costs and taxes into account. The increase, 16.3 percent, compares with a 15.6 percent rise in the United States. The bulk of it came from the sale of farm products, with the rest consisting of government income in payments and kind, which is the value of home-grow- n products consum- - LDS Meet To Be Aired The Priesthood session of the LDS general conference will be broadcast by direct wire to the Oneida, Bannock and Benson stake centers.

Cache Commissioners Fail To Stop X Rated Movie crops and livestock they produce and because of their large capital investments, they constitute a major economic force. In the past year, local farms generated more for their owners, in terms of yield and gross receipts, than did farms in many areas of the country. Although it was a poor year in the farm belt a whole, with 12 states reporting lower returns from marketings, most local operators held their own and a an estimated 26 percent of the income from farm marketings came from the farm. According to the most recent figures from the Department of . The Cache County Commission, upset over a weekend midnight showing of an film recently at the HC's Drive-I- n Theatre, has failed in an attempt to persuade the drive-in'- s owner to cease showing the movie. Harold C. Heninger, manager of the theatre, appeared volun- -' tarily Monday afternoon with' his attorney before the commis-- , sion. The two men argued that the film does not violate state obscenity laws and that they, should not be compelled to cease showing it unless the1 county is willing to set up objective standards by which such films can be judged. Although Heninger said his lawyer, Arden W. Lauritzen, would not concede to the request of the commission, they did offer to inform the county commission of future movies coming to the theatre which could be deemed questionable. But this was not satisfaction enough for the commissioners who promised that further action will be forthcoming after the commission takes the opportunity to review the matter with the county attorney and the Logan City Commission. Commissioner Todd Weston told Heninger that he hopes discussion can continue face to face, not in a court of law." Weston, who claimed a personal as well as a public interest in the showings of the films, frankly asserted, We're not making any rules or charges. We're just asking you (Heninger) to stop showing these films." Any further action will not come until after next Tuesday afternoon when the county commission meets with the city . commission. Today County Attorney Burton Harris specuy lated that in the meeting discussion will take place on the possibility of setting up a committee to review future films. This, however, will only work with the consent of Mr. Heninger. If the cooperation does not come, Harris said, We'll just have to go to court. Court action could take place with each film that Heninger shows, Mr. Harris added, although he said that he thinks Heninger will avoid court actions. Weston, questioned later, said that he asked Mr. Heninger to appear because of calls he has received from distressed citizens and because of his own deep feelings on the subject. The majority of the people think that the type of movie that's rated X is not the type of movie they want their children seeing," Weston said of Cache County citizens. His concern is increased because the films are being shown on an outdoor screen and thus can be seen by people parked within view of the city-count- threatre. During Monday's brief meeting with Heninger, the county attorney said that he has information that under age persons have gained admittance to the drive-i- n for the shows and that young people are parking their cars outside the theatre to view the films. In fact, Harris said, he has heard that persons as young as 10 years of age had gone into the drive-i- n during the recent showing of the film in question called Dagmar's Hot Pants." Mr. Harris questioned Heninger as to what efforts he is making to patrol his patrons to keep out under age persons. In reply, the owner said that he checks identification carefully and that he purposefully shows two films after curfew. Moreover, said Heninger, most people who attend his showings are married and most are in their 30's. Mr. Heninger said that thus far he has relied on the judgment of Logan police officers for advice on questionable films. He said that he does not call the police department to ask for an opinion, that they come out on their own," to discuss the films with him. Only one film, he said, has been previewed for the benefit of the police. According to Police Chief Eli Drakulich, the film wai called The Swinging Stewardesses." and it had no redeaming social value according to U.S. Supreme Court standards. The police chief said he asked Heninger not to show the film and the drive-i- n owner complied. The season, however, is not over yet for HC's Cache Drive-In- . Heninger said that he will be open another four to six weeks and will probably get two or three more films. He told the commissioners that he is satisfied with the form of review provided thus far by the police, but his attorney continually stressed that the county government has no right to request compliance with their wishes unless they are also willing to set up objective standards. For his own protection," said Lauritzen, he needs some standards." While the average American farmer has been able to boost his production through more intensive fertilization and the increased use of tractors and other mechanized equipment, he has not succeeded in turning much of this gain into added net income. Although he is getting somewhat more for his output, the increase is not enough to cope with inflation, which has driven up the cost of virtually everything he has to buy. However, from early reports on this years operations, an economic comeback is in progress in most areas. Prices of many farm products are up, inflation is under better control and profits are rising.

Wyoming wants the storage limit increased 71,050 acre feet beyond the present compact limit for that state. Utah also wants the storage limitation lifted, but suggests that control of allowing additional storage above the lake bf vested in a group art that appropriate language covering this project be included in a revised compact.

There are 12 checkpoints in the route. Instructions are given to the driver and his navigator, who are allowed a stop watch and slide rule. In the case of Hansen and Southward it was a stop watch, a good driver, a sharp math student, and some pretty good figuring. an imposes absolute restriction on allowing this additional storage above Bear Lake.

A trophy was awarded to Randy Hansen of Smithfield,-onto his partner, Randy Southard of River Heights, and one to Post 150. They were the top driving team in the state and will leave Wednesday for. the National Road Rally. Randy Hansen, who participated in last years local rally, until Wednesday was unable to find an interested partner. Wednesday he chose his debating partner from Sky View high school. Why did he choose his debating partner? "I wanted someone who is sharp and can do math well, was his quick reply. The navigator is the guy that wins the race, you know, Randy Southard retorted. Hansen was invited to participate because of his record in previous rallies. The state competition was scheduled Friday and Saturday and on Wednesday, still without a navigator, Hansen asked his debate partner if he would enter with him. With no previous experience, Southard accepted the invitation, boned up on rules and regulations Wednesday night and they were off early Friday morning in a Volkswagen which they claim had a few problems. It would not idle. Describing the situation, Hansen stated, It was too late to have the problem corrected, so each time we came to a stop we had our left foot on the brake and the right on the accelerator to keep it from stalling." With all these problems they still came in first on Friday with no points against them. On Saturday they finished in first place with only two points against them and they were only five seconds out on their 50 .mile checkpoint. The second place winners had six points against them in the race, it was reported. A course had been previously marked for the race with the time required to negotiate it predetermined.

Idaho also asked for no allocation specification as to of this new storage by states, except in cases of reservoirs of less than 20 acre feet.
