The new $16,000 computer can analyze, check and indicate where the engine and all its running parts are strong or weak. We can also program the computer to cross-checour engines, noted Leon Christensen. With the new computer, the ignition, carbureation, emisson control and internal functions of the motor can be fully tested. This new equipment really helps our students in their preparation for success in the field of automotives, Mr. Stout said. k The Snow College program allows a student to choose one of three special programs: Quarterly conference authorities of the church at the sessions will be Elder Wayne Shute of Provo, regional representative for the Manti Region. newly-appointe- d Meetings are on the docket Saturday at 7 p.m., and Sunday morning at 8 a.m., with the genera) session slated at 10 a.m. Sunday, according to Stake President Wilbur W.

Handicapped F acility is Possibility comprehensive facility to provide special services to the handicapped may be established in Sanpete County. An advisory committee agencies in Sanpete which work with the handicapped will ask at their regional meeting in Fillmore Oct. 25 for planning money. The organization has federal funds available for this purpose,. Max Aycock, director of the Snow College Learning Resource Center and the advisory committee A representing - the various Commissioners spokes- - Extension Office Urges Fall Soil Sampling In 1975 Utah had 3,794 soil samples tested in government and commercial labs. That is about one sample for every 304 acres of principal crops harvested in the state, according to figures from a U.S. Department of Agriculture Extension Service soil sample survey taken last fall. ' Home garden, lawn and research samples are included in these figures. USDA agronomists say these samples represent about 30 percent of the total number of samples. They say the national and state figures point up the need for more soil testing. Mark Bingham, Sanpete County extension agent, says three years in this area is generally often enough for routine soil tests from most fields. Although early spring would be preferred, soon after har vesting in the fall is a good nine to take soil samples. At this time the soil normally is in good condition to dig. Also, results from the submitted samples can be back in time to apply needed fertilizer at the most opportune time. Many farmers and gardeners take their own soil samples. An auger or sampling tube is most convenient, through a shovel can be used if proper care is taken. Representative samples should be taken from each field and special samples should be taken from problem areas or where the soil type is considerably different than the rest of the farm, according to Mr. Bingham. He suggests that persons interested contact him at the county extension office for more details on soil sampling and for information sheets and containers for soil samples. Happiness Till it Hurts Subject of Forum Talk G. Frank Madsen, M.D. will The forum talks can be heard be the guest speaker at the on a delayed broadcast over Stations KMTI at Manti, and KSVC at Richfield. Friday Forum at the LDS Institute at Ephraim on Friday, October 15. His talk is entitled Happpiness Till It Hurts. Mr. Madsen is a resident of Roosevelt, Utah. He attended school at BYU for five years where he received his B.S. He then attended George Washington University for his M.D. He has been active in the LDS Church, holding positions from Elders Quorum president to bishop. He has also served on a mission to the New England States for the LDS Church. Mr. Madsen is married and has five sons and one daughter. He is currently the president of the Uintah Basin Medical Society Board of Trustees, Utah State Medical Association. man, said. The Sanpete County Com- mission has approved the advisory committees appearing before the Six-Coun- ty Commissioners with a request for funds. The proposed facility would consolidate the services of the several agencies in the county now involved with the handicapped, Mr. Aycock explained, to provide a more effective program. It would, among other services, furnish treatment where necessary, educational opportunities for the physically and mentally handicapped and vocational training. At present 73 people in Sanpete County have been identified as handicapped and needing special services. Mr. Aycock said. The advisory committee met with the Sanpete County Commission recently to explain how the facility might function. They were told that some of the 73 Sanpete County handicapped residents are being sent to Nephi and other areas for services. Elliot Arnoldson, North San pete School District curriculum advisor, said the Nebo Training Center in Nephi, where some are being sent, is doing a fine job but is limited in its capabilities and the bus service to Nephi is expensive. He pointed out that school districts are required to make special services available to all children in the district who need special help. Mrs. Jan Guinta, also associated with the Snow College Learning Resource Center, said that Ephraim would have several advantages as a location for the facility because of college facilities and personnel that could assist with its operations. The facility could probably serve several other counties in the area in addition to Sanpete, advisory committee members pointed out. Preliminary studies that the advisory committee has made, Mr. Aycock said, indicate the need for a facility such as we have in mind. The money we are going to request, however, is to be used in developing plans. Everything so far is very tentative. Artists in Schools to Visit Wasatch Academy Wasatch Academy will next week host one of the distinguished artists who are participating in the "Artists in the Schools" program.

Northern region elk hunting has been generally good with some dry weather the first two days. Hunting conditions have been pretty good, however, for approximately the same number of hunters as last year. Four Both elk and waterfowl hunting seasons are now in full swing. Early results of both hunts, on a regional basis, indicate the hunts are progressing well and are providing success comparable illegal kills were reported through the first weekend. Waterfowl hunting in the northern region was generally a next week after arrangements have been completed. The clinics will be operated by the Utah Division of Health.

Whether this service is little better than last year through the opening weekend. Ogden Bay averaged three birds per hunter day with large crowds the rule. Farmington was up in both numbers of hunters and harvest per hunter. " In the cetitrat region, elk hunting was termed as very good, with more elk than usual coming off the Manti and a lot of big bulls also reported. Pressure was about the same as last year and harvest is slightly higher. Two illegal moose have been killed so far. Waterfowl hunting at Utah Lake was excellent. In northeastern Utah four moose have been killed illegally. The elk hunt remains comparable to the last two or three years. Hunting pressure is also about the same, but conditions are reported as good. People seemed to be hunting longer and using more horses this year. Most waterfowl action is expected later as the goose season opens. Southeastern Utah reports and steady elk hunting with elk being taken in every drainage. The hunt was classified as being as good as 1975. One illegal moose kill and another cow elk kill were reported. The southern region reports elk hunting to be as good or perhaps a little better than last year. A good number of elk were taken the first day. Most trees still had leaves on which made hunting more difficult. Two elk were salvaged after slow illegal killings. Both Bicknell bottoms and Sevier valley reported having lots of ducks and good hunting, comparable to last season. Clear Lake was less active. Manti Mountain considered one of the prime elk hunting areas in the state continued to produce its share of the big game this week as hunters came out of Ephraim, Manti and Six Mile canyons with the bulls. "Hunter success looks Kenneth Tuttle, area good, conservation officer said. "By that I mean that one hunter in eight or nine will probably get his game by Sundays closing. Sundays closing, of course, doesnt mean that hunting will end for the season on Manti Mountain.' On Oct. 23 the hunters will be back, following the trails and hiking through the aspen and underbrush, in their quest fpr the bucks. Afton Larsen brought one of the bigger bulls of the elk hunt out of Ephraim Canyon a that he brought down in the Willow Creek area. Among the other Ephraim hunters who had success were Jack and Tom Bailey, who filled up, and Don Olsen, who got a spiker. In Manti Canyon, Roger Jones found the bull he was r, near the after, a Patten Reservoir. Roger figures he dressed out at over 400 pounds. "We flushed him out during a drive, he says. Among the other Manti hunters who got their bulls were Jim Peterson, who got his in the Middle Fork, and MoRell Snow, who found his on the Bench. "Getting a bull seems largely a matter of luck, MoRell says. You happen to run onto one or he comes to you. Mr. Larsen says there seem to be plenty of elk but they are mainly cows. Bulls are scarce, he claims. And the elk hunters add a further note they say they didnt see many deer, which maybe means that a lot of those orange clad hunters who move onto Manti Mountain next week may be disappointed. five-point- er five-pointe- continued beyond December depends upon the demand, Paul T.
