The school earned the equipment, with the assistance of a great many friends, the hard way by collecting Campbell soup labels. Mrs. Dorothy Stoddard, a faculty member, headed the project.

Theyll help us earn more equipment for our playground. Scout Executive Appointed The new Scout Executive for Scouts of America, is Scott W. Johnson. He assumed his duties on April 18 as the the helpless, pitiful stray animals which are continuous victims. Humane authorities call Utah the most state in the nation. It is understandable when I think of the cruelties that are brought to ls my attention. People are dumping unwanted animals cats and puppies, in the school yard. Children some- times bring these helpless victims to me. How can anyone be so cruel as to abandon kittens in a garbage can? Parents often set examples of cruelty. There are those who consider an open garage with a box in it sufficient winter shelter for a cat. In addition to the cold, the cat becomes a helpless victim of wandering or stray dogs that corner the cat and kill it. The cat, to save its life, runs away in search of a better home. This is what has happened to many lost cats. Surely it isn't asking too much to bring the cat into a protected shelter. Of all domestic animals there is none suffering more from cruelty than the cat. Cats are abandoned or given to people who abandon them. About every shed in Utah has its quota of starving cats, cowering from exposure and suffering. and Home by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association class in Utah has an urgent message for criminals. some would-bThe message is simply this: Anyone thinking about committing a crime with a deadly weapon in Utah would do well to forget the idea. Thats because the recently-adjourne- d legislature enacted a law which mandates an extra year on the sentence of anyone convicted of using a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime. And 'it's all because of a class at Fremont Elementary School in the Granite School District. During a class on government one day last fall, the youngsters grew concerned about increases in crime. They discussed a Florida law which slaps an extra year in prison on persons convicted of using a deadly weapon in a stick-up- . So they wrote to Florida officials about it. Some of the officials estimated that six months after the law was enacted, such crimes had dropped by 30 per cent. The kids decided to see if they couldn't get a similar law enacted in Utah.

Mr. Johnson will be working closely with Marvin Higbee, Sanpete District chairman and president of Snow College. The Scouting district includes all of Sanpete County from Fairview at the north, down to Axtell at the south. In addition Mr. Johnson will service the Juab and Deseret Districts. A native of Orem Mr. Johnson earned his bachelors degree in Youth Leadership at Brigham Young University. He is 24 years of age and has a family consisting of his wife, Jackie, and a year old son, Carl. As a Scout Executive Mr. Johnson will work closely with local volunteers in bringing a quality program to the youth of the Sanpete area. Character development, citizenship training and mental and physcial fitness are the main purposes of the Scouting program, he said. The next district activity will be the Sanpete sixth-grad- e Scout-O-Ram- which will be held April 30 at the Snow College gym. sixth-grad- e Are you having trouble with gophers, rockchucks, ground squirrels or other rodents?

"Use of restricted poisons for gopher control can be done only by a certified individual," Mr. Bingham said. In addition to enabling people to become certified the school will train them in the most effective methods of applying poisons."

Teachers and administrators from Utah's 40 school districts have been attending workshops sponsored by the Utah State Board of Education and Utah State University.

The students enlisted students from Otis Weeks class next door to poll Utahns and test popular support for the bill. Those students, who won a measure of fame for the accuracy of their predicitons in the last election, found 89 per cent support for the bill. One good lesson for the students was criticism. They found that some people objected strongly to their bill. This nudged them to study it harder for flaws. Students testified at committee hearings for their bill. It passed in the Legislature, and Gov. Scott Matheson signed it. But the students are not satisfied. A law on the books has little deterrent value if nobody knows about it. So they are working on a publicity campaign to inform would-bholdup artists that when they get caught, theyll get an extra year in the slammer. One student puts it this way: If you can't spend the time, don't commit the crime. Rodent Control Clinic Will Be Ph. 374-058- 0 Con- servation Workbook has been introduced.

"I feel this effort could make a significant contribution to the wise use of this most precious resource and would strongly urge your support." Governor Scott M.

Can Fluff Shortening independent tirni concluded that the diversion of water from irrigation to power production at the Huntington Plant significantly reduces salinity contamination of the Colorado River and results in economic savings to downstream water users. The industrial use of water by Utah Power is responsible for a reduction in the salt load leaving the San Refael River, which is a heavy contributor of salt to the Colorado River. The water used by Utah Power at the Huntington Plant is almost entirely consumed; none of the water is returned to the stream. The company is considering a study to evaluate using the water that is left over (and sent to evaporating ponds) to irrigate test plots of land. Water for the Emery Plant, which is now under construction, will be drawn from Millsite Reservoir and from Joes Valley Reservoir. Essentially the same process 3 ib.
