Uinta National Forest Is presented to Clar-- Grove Ranger. Meeting was planned by State ence Thornock, Gordon Harmstrom and Senator Ernets Dean at Training School. State Agencies Exchange Ideas On Multiple Use of Forests The importance of all state agencies working cooperatively to make use of the available facilities and funds was high-lighted in a day long meeting held at the Utah State Training School recently. The meeting was called by State Senator Ernest H. Dean, with members of the Uintah National Forest staff preparing an impressive collection of overlays and maps to give a composite of present and pro-jected uses of the Uintah Nat-ional Forest, which comprises American Fork and Provo Can-yons and surrounding areas. Team members include Ranger Stephen Rushton of PI. Grove Ranger Station, Dick Benjamin, Bruce Parry and environment architect Norm Malone. Clarence S. Thornock, super-visor of the Uintah National Forest, also spoke in the morn-ing session. Mr. Thornock re-lated the establishment of the U.S. Forest Service on Feb. 11, 1905, when Clifford Pinchot rec-ommended the area be admin-istered for multiple use. As the concept evolved and was ap-plied to public lands, most of which were in the west, the multiple use concept grew and matured. He also cited the 1960 Act of Congress which offici-ally documented the Multiple Use Concept. The composite study present-ed to the state leaders was pre-pared to detail zoning and mul-tiple uses of the forest and im-provement of management practices. Included in the presentation were studies of land ownership, recreation, fire occurrence and resource values; fire rate of spread, resistance to control; water shed, range allotment, wildlife, transportation, net-work, ground cover, slope maps, elevation, exposure, drainage, and special maps which visualized zoning and multiple uses in a color-keye- d presentation. Activities of graz-ing, logging, recreation, min- - ing, water lnlluence, wildlife and special management units werealso defined, along with a Tri-Un- it Study which would in-clude Wasatch State Park, the Uinta National Forest and the Wasatch Forest areas of the Alta-Alpin- e area. As the presentation proceed-ed, representatives of the fol-lowing Utah State agencies participated in a discussion of cooperative efforts to produce more effective results of multi-ple use: Utah State Dept. of Highways, Dept. of Natural Resources, Dept. of Health, the State Engineer, Utah State Parks and Recreation, Outdoor Recreation Review Committee, Utah State Foresters Office, the Utah State Training School Senator Dean stated that this was the first of a series of meetings to be held with a view (Continued on page 4) Chamber of Commerce Endorses Proposed Golf Course Planning Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. the Chamber of Com-merce Board of Directors met at the Long Horn Cafe for a breakfast meeting. David Faux, C of C president, was in charge and conducted business mat-ters. One of the most important features of the meeting, accor-ding to board members, was a presentation of the plans for the North Valley Golf Course (tri-cit- y course for Lehi, Am-erican Fork and Pleasant Grove). Clyde Beardall and Glade Walker were present and presented some interesting in-formation concerning the golf course. Mr. Beardall and Mr. Walk-er are members of a commit-tee appointed by the Mayor and city council to obtain fac-tual information about the pro-posed course, and encourage citizens of Pleasant Grove to back the city council in its actions, should they decide to go along with the other two cities in building and adminis-tration of the course. C of C directors were im-pressed by the presentation and facts furnished by Mr. Beardall and voted unanimously to write a letter to the city council en-couraging them to obtain the money and participate in the building of the course. Individual board members they would write letters and encourage the council to participate. Some of the factual inform-ation presented included the following: Total construction costs for the le course will be $368,850 including only $21,000 for land acquisition. Land costs have been held down considerably by Ameri-can Fork City donating prop-erty and a long-ter- lease of state-owne- d land. Financing of the cost will be taken care of by a $185,000 grant from the Utah Outdoor Recreation Agency, which must be matched by the three cities. Plans are to have each city have an equal participation of around $62,000 and an equal distribution of profits from revenue. An equal voice in the administration and running of the course would also be affor-ded each city. An estimate of the total value of the course when completed is around $700,000, with current land values, and Pleasant Grove can have a one-thir- d in-terest for only $62,000. Mr. Beardall also said that a study of similar courses in and around the state has shown that Pleasant Grove can expect a complete return of any mon-ey they invest, and in a few years a yearly revenue that will be equal or greater than the sales tax revenue now re-turned to the city. Another facet of the course, besides revenue for operation of city government, would be the encouragement of any in-dustry to come into the area. Recreational facilities are one of the many things industry looks for when deciding to lo-cate in an area. Mr. Beardall closed by say-ing that our city council and mayor should be commended for their forward-lookin- g part they have played in the plan-ning and development of this project, and he encouraged the citizens to support them in any plans they can come up with to finance the project. Postmaster Lists Tips on Mailing Xmas Packages Postmaster Robert Cornaby Monday listed six tips on how residents of Pleasant Grove can help meet tight Christmas budgets this year by careful mailing of cards and parcels. For the most efficient mail-ing, the postmaster suggested the following steps: 1. For servicemen overseas "SAM" (Space Available Mail) Christmas parcels can be sent until November 20 for only the small domestic parcel post charge involved from Pleasant Grove to East or West Coast points of embarcation for mili-tary mail. Parcels up to five pounds and 60 inches in com-bined length and girth are ac-cepted at this low rate. 2. Large parcels (up to 30 pounds with the same length and girth limitations) can be sent as "PAL" (Parcel Airlift) mail, provided they are mail-ed by November 27. The charge is only $1.00 per parcel, plus the regular domestic parcel posage much less than charg-es that would apply later if straight airmail service must be provided. 3. For all packaging, invest in good quality, sturdy wrap-ping materials. This small in-vestment can help insure un-damaged delivery of valuable gifts and prevent delays which (Continued on page 3) Republicans Win Most Utah County Offices on Tuesday Utah County followed the state voting pattern in electing Frank E.

All three Propositions passed, as did the water conservancy district special ballot. City Council Discusses Plans To Improve Water Lines All councilmen were present Monday evening, as Mayor Jack E. Cook took charge of the meeting. City engineer Gilbert Hor-rock- s was present at the meet-ing to review the water im-provements project. He report-ed at the pre-bi- d inspection meeting held last Tuesday there were eleven contractors present who were interested in the project. The contractors raised the question about bidding the pro-ject in two parts, 1, the water line in Battle Creek Canyon, and 2, the distribution system in the city. The council discuss-ed the advantages and disad-vantages of a total project or a twopart project. It was decid-ed to investigate the feasibility of bidding it in three ways: 1, Canyon Line; 2. city distri-bution system, and 3, a com-bination of the two. Mr. Horrocks stated that how the project would be bid would depend on the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- - ment, who will be providing the grant-in-ai- d funds. Relative to the financing of the city's share of the cost of the project, it was reported that FHA loan moneys are not available for the project. The FHA has the ability to loan on this type of project but they have established a policy of not providing loan moneys when HUD is participating in the way of a grant. It was also reported that HUD has loan moneys which they have, at times, loaned to the participating agencies but this money is only available to cities in extreme circumstan-ces. The council felt that the only alternative to the city to pro-vide its share of the project costs would be to hold a bond election in order to authorize bonds to be issued. It was re-ported that if these bonds are authorized and issued there will be sufficient money to repay the cost of bonds without in-creasing the rates of water or sewer beyond the present rate. The council approved meet-ing next Monday evening, Nov. 9, 1970 to discuss the program for holding a bond election. Mr. Horrocks gave his final estimates for the project, which totaled $495,000. Of this amount HUD will participate in the amount of $200,000 which leaves the city with a cost of $295,000 to pay for the project. It was approved by the coun-cil to have Mr. Horrocks and Mayor Cook go to Denver to the Housing and Urban Devel-opment office, to make final arrangements to have the pro-ject approved. Councilman Michael Vicchril-l- i reported that he had review-ed the proposed road which would be 350 East from 700 North to 500 North and felt that this road should be re-moved from the proposed road system. He stated that he had talked to property owners in this area and they had told him that they did not want the road and would not give property for it. The council accepted Mr. Vicchrilli's recommendation to delete this road from the pro-posed road system. Mr. Vicchrilli also reported there are still several business-es in the ctiy that have not paid their license for the calen-dar year 1970. He asked the council members for recom-mendations as to what should be done to bring about pay-ment. Bids for a new 1971 police car were opened and read by Councilman Cornell Haynie.

She is an active member of the Daugh-ters of the Utah Pioneers. She is presently teaching in the Re-lief Society in her ward. Her joy in the accomplish-ments of her children is best expressed by her pround dec-laration, "I have lived to see six of my grandsons fill miss-ions for the Church, one of whom is now serving in Eng-land." Her home has always been a favorite place for members of the family and friends. Each Christmas Eve., all of her children and grandchildren have assembled at Grandmoth-ers to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Pheasant Hunt Gets Underway This Saturday Utah's 1970 pheasant season gets underway Saturday, Nov. 7 at 8:00 a.m. A spokesman for the Division of Fish and Game estimates that 90,000 hunters will be afield in pursuit of this most popular upland game bird Shooting hours after the first day are daylight hours, and waterfowl hunters are remind-ed that waterfowl shooting hours for November 7 begin at 8:00 a.m. Daily bag limit is three roost-ers, with a possession of six after the opening day. Rifles and pistols are illegal weapons for pheasant hunting and shot sizes larger than number four are also prohibited. It is unlawful to shoot from or across any public highway or to hunt or shoot within 600 feet of any dwelling house, barn, poultry yard, or corral where domestic animals are kept or fed unless express per-mission from the owner is ob-tained. Persons 12-1- 5 years of age are permitted to take pheas-ants in season, but they must have a valid hunting lisense and be accompanied while hunting by a person 21 years years of age or older. Fish and Game Study Checks Mercury Deposits The Utah State Division of Fish and Game and the Wild-life Research Unit of Utah State University are presently conducting a joint study in Utah County to determine the of mercury deposited in the tissue of pheasants. A team of Fish and Game of-ficers are collecting birds from five different areas in the coun-ty which will be thoroughly an-alyzed by the Wildlife Research Unit. Samples are also being collected from eight other im-portant pheasant areas in the state as part of a study to de-termine the incidence of pesti-cide residues in wildlife. It has been determined from earlier studies that pheasants in certain areas have been found to contain toxic mercury residues. It is highly suspected that the mercury is being pick-ed up by the birds from grain seed that is being treated with chemicals containing various compounds that include mer-cury. The fact that mercury has been found in pheasants is cause for concern, but is cer-tainly no cause for alarm at this time according to a Fish and Game biologist. The results of the study will be made available to the public as soon as the tests are com-pleted. |
