It has Telephone 835-545- 3 Mrs. LeFern D. Johnson is home after spending a few days in Fairview at the home of the Sherral and Hazel Anderson family. Hazel is Mrs. Johnsons oldest girl. indeed been a very wonderful time of the year here in England and especially here on the west coast at Liverpool. This is where most of the early Saints sailed from bound for Zion and it has been a fantastic experience being here and seeing the wonderful Saints use the church time was here. Christmas special here in the mission field as the people opened up their hearts and homes to the missionaries. It is really wonderful to spend this time with these fine people here in England. The cards and gifts that I received from the fine people of Manti also made the Christmas season so very nice and I would like to thank you all for them so very much. They will help a lot in the furthering of the Lords work here in Great Britian. We are truly blessed Mrs. Alda S. Erickson and some of her relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Bohne and Miss Eva from Mt. Pleasant, Bohne, drove to Kingston last Saturday to attend tuneral services for Mrs. Ada Nielson. Mrs. Nielson was Aldas mothers sister. The Sterling Camp Arropene held their January meeting at the home of Ann 0. Peterson last week. Parts highlighting the life of the Bullock family, helped settle Cedar City, were given by Dona Peterson. Light refreshments were served by the hostess. The February meeting place will be who here and love the work that we are doing so very much. Thank you again for all your announced later by Camp Captain Alda Erickson. prayers and support to the missionaries throughout the world. It really helps us in the work as we serve the Lord. Sincerely, Elder Charles Cox A chili party at the chapel was enjoyed last Tuesday night by committee members of the MIA road show. Committee members were Rose Mclff, Aleen Larsen, Dorthella and Lillie Thomas. Also attending the party were the Lud-vigs- Recently, there appeared an in this paper about a pet lamb being killed by a pack of dogs, and how the lamb owner had to use a shotgun to protect his property. In the same article there appeared a statement by our town marshal, asking dog owners to keep their dogs off the school grounds, out of their neighbors sheep and cattle corrals. Im wondering if some presidency, who expressed pride in the accomplishments of the committee. Partners of the above also attended. MIA article trigger happy The cultural refinement lesson was given Jan. 29 in Relief Society meeting. The topic this month helped us to become better aquainted with the people who live in the Samoan Islands. Mrs. Dona Peterson presented this lesson and had many interesting items belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Pometti Ah You. He is a native of the Samoan Islands and has become a very close friend to the Petersons. Mr." Ah You served a mission for the LDS Church and is a graduate of BYU. exterminators read this and declared open season on all dogs not chained to their property. May I ask this if he also read the dog killer recent article in the paper on the importance of showing love and caring for our pets? Granted, our Golden Retriever had no business being a mile out of town, but since it cannot read, it knew not of the dangers which befall those dogs that attempt to follow the neighbors dogs, to their farm. Did you ever think of calling the dog, and by checking its collar, locate the owner? Others have done this. If you had, you may have seen those beautiful brown eyes looking up into yours, and spared an eight year old and others the misery and heartache, which comes from losing a sister and a pet dog within a years time. I appreciate the fact that many valuable cattle and sheep have been injured or destroyed by dogs but does this give one a license to kill every dog that steps off its owners property? If this Golden Retriever, killed on January 22, was doing some damage it should have been captured or killed and the owner made to pay the damages. It would have only taken five minutes to check the collar and call the owner, when you were near a phone. Instead, it took most of the afternoon for the owner to locate the dog and much of the time since then trying to answer the question WHY a person would do such a thing. PLEASE TELL US. The Roy Hatch Family Lynn Christofferson, Price, visited with Lucien Peterson at his home last Wednesday.

Anderson, local cooperative observer for the U.S. Weather Bureau. Test Pumping Underway at Manti City Water Well Test pumping is now underway at the mouth of Manti Canyon of a new well which is expected to supply culinary water for the city. Manti Mayor Frank Wanlass is encouraged by the production We are of the well so far. at a depth of 260 feet, now, and we struck good water supply at 138 feet, he said. If the test drilling is unsuccessful, we (Manti) will face another bleak summer which residents, sadly, know only too well, he said. On June 13, 1974, heavy rains and spring runoffs in Manti Canyon caused a mammoth earth slippage, approximately 9,000 feet long and 1,700 feet wide at the base. The Utah National Guard, called in for the emergency, brought in four water purification units. The Utah State Division of Health director, Dr. Planning Survey to be Taken in County The Sanpete County Comhave given approval to a planning survey poll to be taken in the county this Saturday. This poll will be conducted by students from Weber State College Department of Geology and Geography under the direction of Dr. Wayne Wahlquist. The purpose of this questionnaire is to determine what, if any, land use master planning should be done in the county. The defeat of the state land missioners use bill last November indicated people wanted less state involvement, but the commissioners feel this does not reduce the need for local county input and a local level approach on how the county should approach this problem. This questionnaire should provide an excellent opportunity to gather down-to-eart- h, person-to-perso- n opinion as to how people would like to see growth occur in the Snowfall included 2.6 Jan. 28; Jan. 30 and .5 Jan. 31. Humidity readings for the past week are as follows: Jan. 28, 54; Jan. 29, 50; Jan. 30, 1, 63; Jan. 31, 61: Feb. 55; Feb. 2, 52; Feb. 3. 54. Most plastics cannot only be recycled into something new, but can also be used as supplemental fuel to fire energygenerating boilers, and they are particularly suitable and desirable, say the experts, as sanitary landfill. Organic materials (like cooking fat) clog plumbing and septic tanks, causing sewage overflow. Throw them out, not down your sink. s well as providing valuable student training in the process. The students will be throughout the cities and county on Saturday interviewing as many residents, businesses, industries, government offices, etc. to gain as much of an overview as possible. Some statements on the questionnaire may seem sensitive or maybe not important, but the answers are needed to get a total overview of public feeling. This is an excellent means for the county to do its own planning. If you are one of those your cooperation will be appreciated. Once the results are tabulated, it will give the county commission some basic facts on how to proceed with future county planning and what county ordinances will be needed to assure its accomplishment. county--a- iner-viewe- d, Forest Begins Resource Planning An outline of a proposed plan to implement the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 is available for public review at all Forest Service offices throughout the intermountain region, according to Patrick J. Sheehan, regional information office director. The Resources Planning Act is perhaps the most significant resource legislation to be enacted in several years, said Sheehan. It requires the Forest Service to periodically submit to Congress an assessment of the renewable resources on of the naalmost tions forest and range lands. A comprehensive program for National Forests will also be developed to pinpoint possible ways to increase resource use and availability in the future. Varying levels of population, disposable income, and other important factors often omitted from past planning efforts will be considered. The outline is the first step in implementing the Act. It points out how the review will be conducted and how the Forest e Service will develop a program to help meet national needs for range, water, recreation, wilderness, fish and two-thir- Tr. Lyman J. zens to water. State and federal government officials, including Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, offered help. Emergency measures also included getting water from a spring which supplies water for the Manti LDS Temple, for city culinary purposes, until the broken water pipeline could be temporarily repaired. Permanent repair of the pipeline was and still is not feasible (very high risk factor) as the earth slippage is still moving at the rate of about six inches a day. Temporary repair of the broken pipeline was made with with rubber couplings such as those used on fire fighting equipment, for 1,000 feet, spanning the slippage near the base. Due to continual slippage, the pipes had to be continually long-rang- wildlife, and timber. Also contained in the outline issued today is a summary analysis of public response to the Environmental Program for the Future (EPFF) which was issued last year by the Forest Service. The EPFF was developed prior to the Resources Planning Act and will be used in developing the program called for in the new Act. Public review of the Forest Service outline is invited. Comments should be directed to the Chief, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250, by March 3. This short period of time allowed for public comment is necessitated by the amount of work which must be done to meet the Congressional reporting deadline of December 31, 1975. However, as resource assessment and management program development proceeds, additional public review and comment will be asked for. In early March, theForestService will publicly present alternative goals for six resource systems used in the program. In August, analyses of the alternative policies and programs will be publicly issued as a Draft Impact Statement. mm ui Pays to Buy From Our Advertisers . . . 1.

Slippage stablized to one inch per day in last summer, but fall storms brought an increase movement of six inches a day said Mayor Wanlass. Every two to three weeks this winter, four man city crews have had to go into the canyon (via snow vehicles) to leapfrog the pipes. The mayor is crossing his fingers that the spring water runoffs will not knock out this measure. Meanwhile, long hours have been spent by city and state and on officials agencies studies, talks, meetings and testing to come up with a permanent solution to the Wuter problems. Another measure the city has instituted is to add a booster pump system and pump house to an existing culinary water well, located on the west side of the city. The new booster system will pump water back into the existing city holding tanks located near the mouth of Manti Canyon. The tank to be used for the booster system holds 385,-00- 0 gallons of water, the mayor said. If the drilling of the new well at the canyon site is successful, that water will be used to supplement to the west side culinary system, to water lawns and vegetable gardens. The holding tanks which hold a million gallons of water, were installed after a water bond election which was passed in 1972. There are 715 water connections in Manti. However if the drilling isnt new tests will successful, be made, said Mayor Wanlass. Drilling costs money. If the drilling is successful the well will be capped at an cost of between estimated er keeping informed on the latest market prices. 4.

Mayor Wanlass (and others) believe the permanent solution Manti citizens backed the proposal by voting 8 to 1 in favor, in a special water bond election last fall. The bond will mean $150,000 in general obligation bonds and $200,000 in revenue bonds for the water system. The city was also able to get an additional $200,000 from the Four Corners Area Commission, thanks to special efforts of Gov. Rampton and Bruce Armstrong, Four Corners area director, said Mayor Wanlass. As a result of the bond election, residents found an increase in their water bills, Feb. 1, from $3.50 to $8.50 a month. There will probably be some complaining, but the memory of boiling drinking water or hauling water from other water supplies in nearby towns for three months last year are not forgotten, he said.
