Show t, 18 Tour TA Depot Survivors Rights, Benefits One important obligation a serviceman owes to his wife, children, or his parents is to have his personal affairs in order, so that his family will know what to do and what to expect, if it becomes necessary. A S El VICE MANS FAMILY may be entitled to one or more of the following benefits when he dies, whether, on active duty, in retirement, or as a veteran: six months pay gratuity, dependency and indeminty compensation, VA penaion, social security payments, burial expense payments, medical care, final transportation of household goods, war orphan education assistance, and business, farm or home loans for widows. No man deliberately sets out to leave his family unprepared and completely in the dark about rights and benefits as sur vivors of a serviceman or a veteran. However, by not keeping an personal affairs record and by not informing families that such records exist, many servicemen jeopardize the rights and benefits to which loved ones are entitled. A serviceman's personal affairs record should be a complete file of all personal and military data and contain his will, insurance policies and other necessary legal documents. SURVIVORS SHOULD KNOW where this personal affairs record is kept and what it contains. Such things as service records. birth certificates, marriage licenses, tax and social security information, real estate holdings, bank books and other personal property should be together in a safe place. A serviceman who keeps his personal affairs record and makes sure his family is aware of its contents and the benefits they may receive is providing the best possible security for his survivors. by Jan Hodge Mrs. Kenneth Brauner and Mrs. John McBride were hostesses for the Womens Club coffee held at the Officers Open Mess on Aug. 3.

JJ Applications for special deer permits will be received by mail only at the specified deer permit sales offices until 5:06 p.m. August 16, 1965, according to spokesmen for the Utah Department of Fish and Game. If any unit is oversubscribed at this time, a public drawing will be held at 1:00 p.m. on August 20 and permits will be mailed to successful applicants On any units not oversubscribed, permits will then remain on sale until the authorized number of permits are sold on that unit or until the close of the season on that unit. The Board of Big Game Control has decreed that each possessor of a valid 1965 big game hunting license may procure only one special deer permit. Applications for special permits must contain the applfull name, address, icants choice of hunting area and big game license number. Special deer permits shall cost $5.00 for residents and $7.00 for nonresidents, and this fee must accompany applications. Not more than six applications for special permits per envelope will be accepted. Anyone applying for a special permit should check the 1965 deer hunting proclamation for apecial permit areas and the correct sales office before making application. Lines for line-grain- ing. ruf- One of the most Interesting mineral forms found in Utah rock usually found with a a spherically-shape- d is the geode crystal lined cavity. As distinguished from a geide, a nodule or thunderegg is a sphere with agate and other minerals which have completely filled the inner cavity. The Dugway area has both geodes and nodules. Geodes, which are known as the "Dugway Geodes occur on the western side of the Dugway Mountain Range of Tooele County, Utah. They were probably formed during the Middle Tertiary Period (approximately 40 million years ago) when lava flows were common in this area of Utah. These lava flows predominently formed rhyolite rock when they cooled. Rhyolite has the greatest silica content of the normally encountered lavas. Numerous gas or steam cavities result from most lava flows due to large amounts of water released. With the cooling of the lava, cavities remain and in this case cavities are in the rhyolite. THIS IS THE first stage in the formation of a geode. (It should be noted that the formation of a geode or any geological phenomenon is often a reasonable guess, subject to change.) At this stage there is a cavity in the cooled rhyolite wiucn Decomes tilled witn a rhyolite mua. inis mud eventually dries and shrinks into the form of a star, consequently, the cavity assumes the "star ahape. Now there is a hollow cavity ready for normal, percolating g solutions (made up of ground and juvenile water) to percolate through the sphere depositing silica the constituent of quartz. This process is continuous only varying in intensity and degree of mineral content. Thia helps account for the variations of color, types of agate banding, and crystal sizes. The outer shell is, of course, rhyolite; however, it probably has become reinforced with more silica and other minerals making it stronger than the other rhyolite matrix surrounding the geode, and more resistant to erosion and disintegration. This disintegrated rhyolite matrix at the Dugway location is now pink mud and clay. THE DUGWAY GEODE varies in size from about one-ha- lf inch to over 3 feet in diameter and the spherical shape has seams or striations like the stitching on a baseball on its outer surface the result of the inner star shape. These geodes vary widely from place to place at the Dugway locations. Some are solid agate (nocules), some are filled with inch long, some have amethyst quartz crystal up to one-ha- lf crystals, some have bands of agate and crystals, while some even have a solid center composed of a common type opal. Similar typea of geodes have been found in Nevada, Oregon, and at Berkeley, California. A much different geode - is found in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and other states. Geodes in these areas are formed in cavities in shale and limestone. The process is also percolation of ground water which deposits various types of minerals within the cavity. Calcium carbonate is often the common mineral which results in calcite-line- d cavities. 'Caverns with their large formations of stalagmites and stalactites may be likened to a large geode. At Niota, Illinois, geodes have been found which contained a quart of viscous bitumen oil with their crystal-line- d cavity. The manner in which these geodes were formed is unknown. Geodes and nodules are sought after for their aesthetic value. They may be cut and polished and made into items such as bookends, jewelry, and various types of desk sets. They are highly valued by the mineral collector and have rendered many hours of enjoyment to the collector.
