The first of the papers summarizes the life and scientific-political career of Powell, who not only conquered the Colorado, but shared in the exploration of the West, and helped to establish the U.S. Ceological Survey, the Smithsonian's Bureau of Ethnology, and the National Geographic Society. Considered as "a pioneer statesman of Federal science," Powell is now genas one of erally recognized the nation's earliest proponents of dynamic conservation. His views on the need for orderly development of the public domain and the wise use of its natural resources uttered nearly 100 years ago proved to be an almost uncanny prophecy of some of the mineral and water problems with which the Nation now copes. During his pioneering bout trip through the Grand Canyon in 1869, and in subsequent -- -- explorations of 1871-7- 2, Powell concepts developed geologic from the record of the earth's displayed history along the canyons walls. All about me are interesting geological re-- Safety Zone . Alfred L. Lamb, Safety Officer There are many employees of Deseret Test Center and Dugway Proving Ground who are carpool commuters. If you are one of these employees, you have the responsibility of safe driving to your fellow riders. Several types of carpools are being used in commuting. They are the exchange-rid- e type, and the type, the paid-rid- e carpool owned type. Regardless of what type of car pool you belong to, the responsibility is still there. If you are driving your own personal car on a trade ride basis, you as a car owner and operator, have the responsibility of keeping your vehicle in good mechanical condition, with good brakes, tires, lights, exhaust systems, etc. Further, you are obligated to be a safe and sensible driver, using defensive driving techniques at all times. You, as a driver should also remind all personnel to utilize the seat belts provided. You must realize this responsibility and the fact that many people could be affected if an accident were to occur while you are driving. With a carpool of 5 or 6 people, there could be as high as 20 or more children and 5 or 6 husbands or wives affected, not to mention the financial, legal and moral obligations that could 5 befall you. Automobiles being used to carpool every day, such as car-poowned cars are driven hundreds of miles each week, and require regular maintenance. You cannot afford to let any items go without repair. When you are a passenger in a carpool, you also have the responsibility to yourself and other passengers to monitor die other persons' driving habits and techniques. This is one place where its OK to be back-sea- t drivers. If the driver has foolish or sloppy driving habits, call them to his attention, and insist he observe the speed limits and obeys' traffic rules and regulations. If some drivers cannot take needed criticism then its best to look for another carpool, because, as die old saying goes, The life you save may be your own." ol the liook cords, read as open, run." Another paper traces the evolution of scientific thought concerning the origin and nature of the Grand Canyon. Powell clearly recognized that the features of spectacular the Colorado River reflected the structural history of the mountain liarriers that lay across its path. The clear exposures of the rock strata offered nearly for geologic ideal conditions observations by Powell, and the Grand Canyon is one of the world's HONOR LAWN The best lawn this issue was found in front of the Glenn Goodman dence.

Major Powell's dramatic exploits were more remarkable considering the loss of an arm during the Battle of Shiloh. He had an intense vision of science as a means of progress for the human race.
