was formulated by the National

A district-wide program would

quickly developing a model dis

and state agencies so that none
would be working at cross-pur-
poses. the object being to lay a
pattern of work that could be
used in other districts.
Many of the states conserva-
ton districts were considered for
the job of initiating a pilot con-
servation program and Glacier
County has been chosen. This
district was selected because of
the need for an accelerated pro-
gram and because we have the
resources to build an outstanding
program.
Also considered in the selec-
ton was the fact that the local
board of supervisors and the state
and federal agencies had ex-
pressed a willingness to accept
the added responsibility. The
Glacier County Soil Conservation
district board of supervisors con-
sisting of Duane Summons. Ray
Momberg, Ray Peterson, Gerald
Berger and John Lewis will be in
charge of,the program.
The board of supervisors called
a meeting July 9 in the Cut Bank
court house for the purpose of
explaining some of the benefits
and responsibilities that would
result from our having been chos-
en- as the pilot-program county.
The featured speaker was Mr..
Gordon MCGOWAN of Highwood.
He is director of the National
Association of Soil Conservation
districts and past president of
of the state association.
