F airview DiaI
Service Will Be
Seven Numerals

When the new dial telephone
system is cut into service for Fair
view customers in April, all tele-
phone numbers will be composed
of Seven-numerals instead of a
name-prefix followed by five
numerals as used heretofore at
many locations.
Fairview's new dial system was
engineered to use the seven-num-
eral plan with 744 as the local de-
signation followed by four num-
bers, for example 744-6401.
Local manager, r. E. Packard,
said the seven-numeral plan has
been under study and considera-
ton by the Bell system for some
time. 1t has been found to be more
satisfactory from a customer view
point and offers numerous advant-
ages.
Through actual testing of the
seven-numeral plan it has been
learned that customers can dial
faster and more accurately. II
eliminates confusion between the
letter go" and the numeral COZ.
With prefix names there has been
some misunderstanding when the
names have been given to the
operator, and the first two letters
of some names were miSspelled
This confusion is completely elm
mated with seven-numeral num-
boring, Packard said.
He pointed out that dialS will be-
come more legible when they con
tain only numerals instead of &
combination of numerals and let
tiers. This will assist in the mint
irritation of telephone instruments
which seems to be in line with GUS
toner preference. AS to memory
with seven-numeral numbering
tests show that it is just as easy
to remember seven numerals fol
short periods of time as it is fol
two letters and five numerals.
The Seven-numeral NUMBERING
plan is being introduced at Fair
view and Havre this spring. Pack
ard said, and two of the first sucI
plans in the entire seven state area
of the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company. Use o
the seven-numeral plan fits into
nationwide program which will
make customer long distance dial
ing possible. Both numbers anC
letters will be encountered on dia
telephones for several years t,
come, Packard said.

That means that Los Angeles

many House members two years
from now as all four of the Up
per Basin states combined. Colo
RADIO has four, New Mexico two,
Utah two and Wyoming one None
of these states got additional rep
resentatiOn following the 1860 CEN
sus. Arizona, a sometime ally of
the Upper Basin, did get another
Congressman, and Arizona's dele
CATION will increase from two to
three in January, 1868. But the
increase is unlikely to help the
Upper Basin, because under Ari-
zOna redistricting, Tucson will get
its own Congressman and Phoenix
will continue to have its own Con-
gresham. The interest of both
cities are more allied with South
ern California than with the Up
per Basin.
So in making legislative plans
TO push for enactment of the $l70
million Fryingpan project and the
$22l million NavajO-San Juan
Chama project, both Colorado and
New Mexico must keep in mind
that it will be easier to get these
authorization through the House
in 1861 and 1862 than thereafter.
A Is percent boost in their Op-
position from the Los Angeles
area will distinctly handicap botn
projects if they fail enactment dur
ing the upcoming 87th Congress.

ton will be even more violent at

WASHINGTON - Southern Colo

iect and New Mexico's Navajo
San Juan Chama project must
be approved by Congress during
the next two years to avoid in
creased opposition from California.
This is a paramount fact that
the Upper Colorado delegations
must keep in mind as they seek
action on both projects, both of
which will be partially repayable
under the Upper Colorado Stor-
age Project
Under the 1860 census the rapid
growth of California entitled it to
eight additional seats in the House.
los Angeles is the fastest grow
ing city in the country. with a
population, according to the pre-
liminary census count of about IS
million, as compared to 1870, 1853
in 1850. Because of the traditional
rivalry between Northern and
Southern California, it is unlikely
that Los Angeles county will get
most of the new House members
even if she is entitled to them on
a population count. But she is al
most certain to get four new Con-
gressmen. That will boost the
House membership from Los An

that steps should be taken now

The Parks Commission has ap-
pointed itself repository of GER

l hope will someday form the bas-

gathering early motion pictures of
ceremonials. We. are beginning
the collection of library which
someday will comprise everything
that has been written on Navajo
land. We will thus become the
fountainhead of all knowledge re-
garding our people for the benefit
of generations to come.
Our long-range planning includ-
es a program to record for pos
terity the Navajo chants and GER
emonjals, many of which, as you
know, are becoming extinct. A
number of medicine men have re-
quested the preservation of Our
sacred ceremonials and many
young men who are interested in
becoming medicine men would
cherish this material as tram
ing aid.
When a safe repository is avail
able here, the Parks Commission
proposes to send out worldwide
message requesting that many of
the precious old rugs and jewelry
be sent back home again. Many
of the museums in the capitals
of Europe have priceless collect
ions of early Navajo arts and
crafts. The Smithsonian Institute
in Washington has crates of such
material which has never been un-
packed because there is no dis
play space available.

Day III, Chairman of the Navajo
Tribal Parks Commission. In this
form, even though report it
reads more interesting than as a
written new story.
The activities of the Parks Com
mission under the budget approx
ed July /, 1860, have been con-
find chiefly to activation of the
plans set forth in my last report
for the recruiting and training of
some fourteen rangers under Chief
Ranger Charles Damon.
We have experienced some diff
ficulty in finding young men with
sufficient education to qualify as
Rangers and possessing the parti-
cular personality qualification
which will make them proper rep
resentatives of the Navajo Tribe
in uniform. The turnover has been
great, but as a member Of the
Law and Order Committee, l am
aware that this problem also ex-
lists in the recruitment of good
police officers. We are hopeful
that our Ranger force will be sta
bilized at it's full complement by
the first of the year.
AS this report is made, half of
our Ranger force is spending 80
days in a special police training
school under the direction of Su-
perintendent of Police Nelson and
Inspector Adams. The Parks Com
mission is grateful for the OppOr-
tunity offered TO give our Rang
ers the benefit of this expert know
ledge in the fields where our
Rangers operate.
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal
Park was Winterized October 31st.
During our first season 22,114 per-
sons visited the Valley leaving be-
hind $4,O92 in admittance fees. In
addition, Monument Valley visit
Ors spent $7,855 for arts and
crafts displayed at the Observa-
tory, from which the Parks Com
mission will derive a certain per-
centage of the gross sales.
When Route 1 is paved, MOnu-
ment Valley Tribal Park will Oper-
ate all year round. During the
past season, most of our visitors
arrived at the park by way of
Utah Route AZ which is paved
from the North to the park.
Our Rangers have recently
been active in protecting the deer
and turkey from non-Indian hunt
ers. The knowledge that Rangers
are patrOlling the hunting areas
has, | am sure, discouraged much
illegal hunting of the sort which
has taken place in the past. In

do the job very well. These should
be applied in $50 gallons of car

Heavy 2,4-D applications can be
accomplished on a volume basis if
it is done on a square rod measure
ment. Example: Put 10 gallons of
4 pounds, which equals 40 pounds
of 2,4-D anime in 160 gallons of
water. This gallonage is equal to
the number of square rods in an
acre of land which is 100 square
rods. The application would be l
gallon of spray solution for each
square rod of in~feStation. So an
operator can 60 out and make a
reasonable estimate on the number
of square rods or number of acres
that are infested and figure out
the application very easily. 1t is
better to figure your 2,4-D acid in
pounds per acre rather than pints,
quarts or gallons per acre
The ester forms of 2,4-D do not
work too we'll for heavy applica-
tons as evaporation takes place too
rapidly.
Heavy applications of 2,4-D are
very effective on leafy spurge,
Russian knapweed, whitetop, as
these are the deep rooted group OF
perennials. Medium heavy rates
of 10 to 20 pounds work very well
on bindweed that has a few years
of age in growth.
Rates of 2 to 4 pounds work wei
in controlling new growth of bind
