Last week Utah and state officials of Colorado and Utah were reviewing the books. In accord with the highway study the House Roads Subcommittee has recommended a periodic review of needs and progress as an essential element of the proposed expanded Federal highway Senator Arthur V. Watkins today asked the Deconduct of the to two public hearings in Interior partment known an area as the Valley of the Goblins. Emery County, In a letter to Acting Secretary Fred O.

Every woman's wish is to be a charming: hostess when entertain ingr. Setting: a charming table is one of the prerequisites. Here are some suggestions that will help you achieve that goal: . A good rule to remember is: Allow plenty of room at the table for ease of service." Most author- ities recommend that at least 24 and preferably SO inches be allowed for each place.

This approach is in accord with the objectives of highway user groups in the development of state road programs. It offers definite advantages, practically, as far as business is concerned. Some of these advantages in- age in Utah. Senator Watkins also pointed out that "responsible groups In the state join with me in requesting adequate study of this pro- posal. "They are the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern and Eastern Utah and State Deputy Forester William J. Hart. The Senator added that the prominent Utah zoologist Dr. Vasco M. Tanner of Brigham Young University, Provo, also suggested such further study need in a personal letter. In fairness,' the Senator added. "I also am submitting to you a letter from the Rock Club of Cedar City, Utah, which favors Monument status for the area. In comment on the letter to the Department Senator Watkins as well. If you're using a bare table, try to use place mats that conform to the shape of the table. Oblong place mats are adaptable to a rectangular table. If your table is narrow because of limited space, put your mats along each side, 5)lace ends for decorations and large accessory dishes. For a square table, you can use a square center mat and oblong place mats; round centerpiece and round doilies for a round table. said At this time I am not favoring nor opposing the proposed estab- lishment of a national monument at the Valley of the Goblins. However, the decision to permanently reserve that large acreage is important to a state already 70 per cent federally owned. I am certainly of the opinion that State and local officials and all others directly affected by this action have a right to be heard at public hearings. con-Ivenie- Wallpaper Makes A Magic Change nt clude: right-of-wa- y Local talent dance to ballet roles.

It affords a basis for a fiscal review, both as to the total avail- able funds and the method by which they are apportioned to the states. The Subcommittee's approach should help to dispel the concern over the fixing of a program on the basis of existing estimates. These estimates merely represent the best available guide to the dimensions of the needs and the required rate of acceleration of construction. Under the proposal for periodic review, these estimates will be adjusted to changing situations. An adinfinitem for all students of the current highway programs: One source, of confusion and misunderstanding of highway costs is the use of averages. In view of the wide range of highway casts, varying according to the character of the improvement, the location of the project, and many other factors, comparison of average highway costs can be misleading. They can be mislead in the same way as was the man who drawned wading across the river whose average depth was only two feet. Just something to think about when next reading about lithe county, state or nations highway problems. 13-ye- ar |
