The report mentions 11 Western States in which the Federal Government owns a large part of total land. These States and the percentages of -owned land are: Nevada, 87 per cent; Arizona, 73; Utah, 72: Idaho, 64; Oregon, 53; Wyoming, 51; California, 46; New Mexico, 44; Colorado, 38: Montana, 35; and Washington, 35. The Federal Government has added approximately 65,000,000 acres of land to its previous holdings since 1937 and, consequently, Washington today controls onefourth of the total land area of the United States.

How many persons will be killed on the highways of Missouri over the 4th of July week -end holiday? Colonel David E. Harrison, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, refused to make a prediction by stating that the answer to this question depends entirely on how well motorists observe the traffic rules of safe driving. During the Decoration Day week end, the members of the Patrol which investigated 213 accidents in 6 persons were killed and 204 injured. This toll was much less than was expected, primarily because drivers used greater care and common sense, according to Colonel Harrison.

He said, "Our officers reported that traffic in general, although exceptionally heavy, moved in an orderly manner and at reasonable speeds. Very few cases of excessive speed, improper passing and weaving in and out of traffic were noted. If all drivers will exhibit the same type of common sense and courtesy over the 4th of July, we can experience one of the safest holidays on record. On the other hand, failure to comply with the rules of safe driving can produce the most tragic holiday ever experienced in Missouri. Courtesy and common sense are essential to traffic safety and we urge all drivers to remember this and to use the same good judgment and display the same courtesy on the highways as they do in their evday business contacts." "All of the facilities of the Patrol will be used over the coming week end," continued Colonel Harrison.

"Our airplanes proved very effective in spotting traffic violators over Decoration Day and they will be in the air again over the Fourth. In addition, every available officer and car will be used desire on to traffic make a patrol. large We number have of arrests, but our officers have been instructed to apprehend every driver, whom they observe driving careless or imprudent manner.

There Is No Water Shortage In Union Close To 8,000,000 Gallons Used During Month of June News of water shortage in other cities and counties in Missouri during the present hot weather and drought should make Union residents rejoice that their own home city is not limited in any way in its use of water.

The foresight of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen in increasing the capacity of the infiltration plant a year ago is now paying dividends. Last month nearly 8,000,000 gallons were pumped Bourbeuse River. This required 368 hours at the pump station and filtration plant. Until a year ago, the pump station could deliver but 300 gallons a minute. Since the improvements, more than 450 gallons are pumped each minute.

During June, some days as much as 600,000 cations, pumped. During June shifts were needed to keep the reservoirs full. Ten years ago, the record was a little over 4,000,000 a month-and at that time the Rock Island was buying water from Union. Although the Bourbeuse River is lower than it has been for many years, the new intake pipe is nearly three feet below the surface. Water is being hauled this week to Beaufort, Spring Bluff, and Gray Summit.

Roy Shafferkoetter hauled 11,000 gallons Monday to the vicinity of Beaufort. Although there will not be a water shortage in Union, August Maune, superintendent of the Union Filtration Plant, urges people not to waste water during the drought as such waste may mean putting three shifts to work at the plant if the drought continues. When the Board of Aldermen asked for bids in 1948 for the improvements to the water plant, the lowest was $37,628.50. The bid was considered too high and the Board ordered a August Maune, superintendent, and Adolph Tappe, water commissioner, to do the work on force account. This was completed late last year for 000.00.

The new pipe the river will be laid this year to take care of any emergency. "Youth for Christ" Meeting The first service for "Youth for Christ" was held Saturday, June 28th, at 7:45 p. m. at the Union Church of the Nazarene. Ruth Henderson led the song service.
