Show viewpoint CLIFF MEMMOTT, Edlior PEDESTRIANS ARE WARNED ABOUT CROSSING STREET ON "WRONG" LIGHT .... It has been brought to my attention that grown-up adults, men and women about town, are setting a rather poor example to youngsters and those who might now know better, as they fail to observe the full significance of the traffic light that has been such a controversy the past few weeks. According to Roosevelt's police department, many of the grown-ups are ignoring the timber caution light that flashes after the red and before the green light. . . Just to make sure everyone knows the purpose of the "yellow light" It's an extra precaution for safety It is not a signal to start moving, but to either come to' a complete stop if a red light is about to flash, or wait another couple of seconds sec-onds until the green light gives the signal to go ahead. Motorists are being congratulated by the police force, and most of the youngsters know what the various lights signify, and obey the signals, which lso brought a word of praise from the enforcement officers. So' you great big men and women, shall we let a little child lead us? v E v SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO ELECT SUPERVISORS MARCH 13 ... . MR. FARMER: You have a chance tomorrow, Friday, March 13, to elect three men to serve the next, three years as supervisors for the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation Dis- trict. . They will be your servants, and as such you should consider seriously the obligation you have to yourself and your neighbors. With the help of the Soil Conservation Service office, we have carefully set forth in detail the reasons why it is your privilege and duty to carefully judge the qualifications of the men who have been nominated for these positions. . . You have your ballot Study It, Then Mark It and Return Re-turn It In The Postage Paid Envelope! In my opinion the men you elect to these jobs should be men of honesty. They must be interested in the progress of the Uintah Basin; they must have the courage of their convictions, and they must recognize the conservation needs as they relate to your farm and the Basin. These men will work for you for at least three years without pay. The decisions they make will effect you and your farm, both directly and indirectly. The work schedules they prepare for your engineers, soils men, or farm planners will often determine whether " you get help on your conservation job this spring, this summer, sum-mer, or next year. Your Soil Conservation District Supervisors are going to help you get your soil and water conservation job done j in the -Atmria-tt wsy "i'li hrrs :workii Lo f ffthfr to make a better, more prosperous agriculture for us' and for our children than when we 'took over the farms from our dads. Too many of us think the help we receive from the soils man, the engineer, or the farm planner is help from the Soil Conservation Service. This is not true. The help you get from these Federal employees comes directly from your Soil Conservation District, in the kind and amount established by your board of supervisors. Your supervisors' have taken advantage of all the help they can get from the County Agent, the Forest Service, Agricultural Ag-ricultural Conservation Program, Indian Service, Soil Conservation Con-servation Service, Farmers Home Administration, the County Coun-ty School Districts, and all other sources, so they can give you the help you need when you need it. It is the objective of the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation District to use each acre of agricultural land within its capability and treat each acre of agricultural land according accord-ing to its need for protection and improvement. To best accomplish this objective, the District has said that it will enter into an agreement with the farmer or irrigation company before the District will make its services ser-vices available to the farmers. This agreement between the farmer and the District will be made in three steps: 1. The farmer and the District will sign an agreement which will make the help of the Soil Conservation Service technicians available to help the farmer carry out one of more conservation practices which are needed on the farm, and are economically sound. 2. Soon after a Land Capability Survey is made, a copy of this map together with written . descriptions of the . soil classes found on the farm, will be given to the farmer, along with decriptions of proved methods for using each soil condition. 3. After the farmer has studied this material, he and a District technician will prepare a farm plan to include the conservation practices needed on the farm. In some cases the farmer will know the order in which he wishes to do each practice. If he does, this is included in the farm plan. Have you worked out your farm plan? Do you know the direction your farm is going? Your farm must become a better farm or it will become a ruined farm. Like you and me, it doesn't stay in one condition forever! How much easier and how much more profitable is your farm today than it was back in 1941 when you elected your first supervisors? Would you like to suddenly find your farm jn the same condition it was in in 1941 without those ditches or headgates or without that leveling on the south forty? I believe not. v E v FAVORITE PRAYER I do the very best I know how. . . The very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings ' me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing swear-ing I was right would make no difference.
