Show SCS issues appeal for local District Supervisors You can help to direct the future uses, development and rehabilitation of the states land and water resources by volunteering volun-teering to become a District Supervisor for your local Soil Conservation District. Utah Soil Conservation Districts are sub-divisions of state government. They are governed by local representatives represen-tatives who are elected and appointed by local land owners, and are charged with the responsibility of preserving the states soil and water resources. Local Soil Conservation Districts are people working together in our communities, in our watersheds, in our counties to protect this nations most vital resources-soil and water. We stand for local leadership in doing this job-a job that becomes more urgent every day. The Iron County Soil Conservation Con-servation District was organized in 1941, and has provided the leadership in getting conservation con-servation practices installed on farms and private range lands. Through agreements with government agencies and obtaining ob-taining heavy equipment, conservation con-servation work has been moving along. There are five district supervisors. Two are appointed and three are elected. All serve three year terms. It is now District Supervisor election time. If any of the citizens of Iron County would like to serve as a Soil Conservation District Supervisor, they could contact the Soil Conservation Service Office or Chairman Elmer Gurr at Parowan, and details of the District program and elections could be discussed. The district board will send in the names of candidates to be piaced on the ballots and the state Soil Conservation Con-servation Commission will carry out the elections. |
