Show The Deseret Sampler, Friday, July 5, 1974 July Climatology i WHEREAS, Hie United States Army celebrates its 199th anniversary on 14 June 1974; and WHEREAS, it enters its 200th year of service to the Nation and Free World with a new, organizational structure; and WHEREAS, the goal of obtaining and maintaining an Army has been issued as a challenge to all U.S. Army military personnel and the civilian work force; and WHEREAS, the United States Army Materiel Command occupies a unique position in the organizational structure of the Army, NOW, THEREFORE, I, General Henry A. Miley, Jr., Commanding General of die United States Army Materiel Command do herby proclaim that within that command, the period of 14 June 1974 to 14 June 1975 shall be known and is hereby SUPPORT FOR designated as a YEAR OF THE RECRUITMENTRETENTION EFFORT OF THE TOTAL ARMY FORCE-ACTI- VE, RESERVES, AND NATIONAL GUARD; and call upon all personnel of the Army Materiel Command to campaign actively and affirmatively as Army spokesmen in discussing Todays Army with their associates in the civilian domain, counterparts in other organizations, their neighbors and community representatives. I urge each member of the command to refer the names of qualified men and women to appropriate Active, Reserve, and National Guard recruiting offices, and to encourage all qualified personnel of their acquaintance now in military service to renew their commitment to the Nations defense forces. I also urge all commanders, subordinate leaders and supervisors to accept as a personal responsibility the task of increasing the operational effectiveness of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, hence the United States Army during the forthcoming year. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-fou- r, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-nint- Statue of Liberty Prepare Yourself For Hottest Month PROCLAMATION Symbolizes . . life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. ultra-streamlin- h.

While Utah along with the rest of the northern hemisphere is enjoying summer, the southern hemisphere is experiencing winter. The Russian station at Vostok, Antarctica is the icicle of the world with a minimum temperature reading of -- 127 degrees, observed on August 24, 1960. During a typical July the high temperature should reach 106 degrees with a low of 52. On July 1, 1950, Dugway observed its warmest day on record, 108.0 degrees. On this same date in 1968 we recorded the coolest July temperature on record, 27.0 degrees. The number of active weather fronts passing through the Utah area are at their minimum during the month of July. Rainfall usually occurs with thunderstorms or as afternoon and evening showers. Dust Devils are numerous during the summer months in areas of arid or semi-ari- d climates such as Dugway. Skies are generally mostly fair to partly cloudy with southerly winds at 5 miles per hour. During July of 1973 six record maximum and four minimum temperature records were set. On July 1 the sun rose at 6:06 ajn. and set at 9:05 pm.

In March 1973, it issued an interim report on the field study made at a Boone County, Kentucky site. This work is expected to continue for several years to measure slow changes which can continue for decades. EPA's interest in the leachate from land fills containing industrial waste is the origin of the Dugway task. . These wastes containing hazardous materials such as asbestos, mercury, copper, beryllium, cadmium, selenium, pesticides, and chlorinated hydrocarbons are deposited directly in the fill or as scrapings from the bottoms of disposal lagoons. To develop regulations which provide for safety and are workable, it is necessary to elucidate the processes which transform these toxic materials in the land fill environment. .Dugway will support this investigation.

THE DUGWAY task will be supervised by Dr. Mike Roulier, Soil Scientist of EPAs National Environmental Research Center in Cincinnati, Mr. Ronald Bell, Chief, Chemical Technology Brandi, Chemical Division at Dugway will serve as Project Manager. Mr. Martin Houle, also of Dugway, will serve as Technical Project Leader. It is expected that follow-o- n tasks to this problem will be won by DPG from EPA. These and other tasks currently being negotiated will help even out the peaks and valleys in Dugway's prime mission workload and will help maintain the professional competence of the technical staff. Daily Low Record (Continued from Front Page) THE TASK will be divided into three parts and is to be completed within 18 months. The first phase will consist of acquisition of five selected industrial waste stream samples which will be subjected to detailed chemical analysis. The samples will be studied to determine the content of water soluble compounds. Leachate from existing land fill sites will be used to determine its solvation power relative to water. In the second phase, water and leachate will be passed through columns of various types of soil to evaluate the ability of the soil to retain the toxic materials. This will help establish criteria for selection of new land fill sites and should help define engineering requirements for protective soil depths required to protect underground potable water supplies. The final phase will be directed to analysis of the data obtained in phases I and II to define mechanisms active in removal of the hazardous materials and the development of an Attenuation coefficient for a range of soil categories. Hie attenuation coefficient should serve as a basis for developing new disposal Daily High done. Now as a successful team we will move into Fiscal Year 1975 on target, ready to continue the great commitment we have made to meet our manpower quantity and quality objectives.
