new committee will be to assist
the college administration in the
planning and constant improve
ment of the College program. 1t
members are local residents with
experience and training in the

ton. First assignment Of the group
will be to evaluate the tentative.

completedw we may be building roads
in some other area.
We are primarilytrying to point
out to you that you are on the verge
of experiencing traffic which we
never dreamed of few short years
ago and it is very difficult to rea-
lize even today.
The heaviest Travelled road on
the northern reservation at the
present time is the road from Fl.
Defiance to Window Rock and the
count on this road runs approx -
mately 5000 vehicles day.
If the traffic forecasts available
to us are anywhere near accurate,
and we have reason to believe that
they are, you can imagine what traf-
flc will be expected On Route when
5OOO vehicles day use this route.
We believe it might be safeto
say that within very short period
OF time we may rea sonably expect
from 2 to 3 thousand vehicles dav
On Route 3 nd a like amount on
Route 8.

SO Favor Req
At Coyote Canyon Chapter

The chapter organization met
January ia at the chapter house
with So adult members in attend
ance to discuss the coal PROPOSE
tion, REA, water barrels andplan
of operation for chapter house re-
creation items.
The discussion about obtaining
electricity from REA was discuss
sed and resulted in securing 68
names in favor of the idea. 1t was
agreed by having more people in
favor and obtaining electricity
would lie sen the cost. Johnnie
Willeto talked about the Public
Healrh's barrel program.
An appropriation of $39.OOwas
approved to buy coal and distribute
it. So far ten and-a-haf tons are
left to be transported out of the
estimated Al tons for the Coyote
Canyon area, Peach Springs area
and Coalmine area.
Plan of operation affecting re-
creation items was also discussed.
Two BARRIERS are making use of the
electric clippers according to
plans but the use and price for using
sewing machines wasn't settled.
The chapter plans to maintain its
chapter house with funds obtained
from items such as named above.

In the Aneth Area, the State of
Colorado has committed them
selves to build from the Four Cor
ners access road to the Colorado
Utah line towards Aneth whenever
anyone else will construct from this
point o n to Aneth and on the San
Juan River bridge near Montezuma

The Bureau Of Indian Affairs has
committed themselves to build

done in Fly. 1868.
The Utah Highway commission
has agreed to build the McElmo

funds become available to build

Juan River bridge Montezuma

There are no negotiations at the
moment to build the road from the
San Juan River bridge to Route 1
near Red Mesa: however, we are
convinced that this will happen in
the not too distant future.
The Phoenix Area Office and the
Hopi Agency have a cooperative
agreement with the state of Arizona
to build the road from us. high
way 66 near Winslow through Te-
este to Route 8 near Torreva. This
road is now completed under stage
construction to the stabilized base
stage near Torreva and we are ad-
Wsed that it is their inrentionro

boundary as rapidly as funds be-
come available. This again is going
to increase traffic in the area.
The State Of Arizona has agreed
to build road from us. Sc to the
south reservation boundary and to
complete this work by the time the
work on the reservation is done by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
We are not going to attempt at
this time to foreca st road Develop

we have already done since we find
that conditions would require pri-
critics to change and probably by

BY the time 1862 F. Y. Funds are
expended tourists will be able 70 go
from Mesa Verde National Park by
the Four Corners TO Kayema-Tuba
City. TO the Grand Canyon with a
savings of approximately 200
miles.
We do not need 10 stretch our
imaginatiOns 10 see what this is 60

Even the savings of 200 miles would
be significant even were il not for
the fact there are other points of
major interest, Monument Valley,
Betatakin. and other along Route 1
10 attract the tourists.
Earlier il was mentioned that
the construction of Glen Canyon
Dam has had a marked influence on
tourist travel and we are convinced
that as time goes on this travel will
increase.
In addition TO this, the Navajo
Tribe is planning Marina at An
telope Point near Page andro be ac-
cessible by land, and Marina al
Padres Point and Oak Island. ac-
cessible only by water.
Those who have visited Page and
have observed the possibilities OF
the Marina at Antelope Point have
seen that the Navajo Tribe has by
far the best potential setup on the
lake above Glen Canyon. In addition
TO this. there are plans 10 subdivide
and lease lots On Antelope Mesa for
fishing camps. a nd other things
This is going 20 attract many. many

The construction of Glen Canyon
Dam has had marked influence On
tourist travel a well as the general
economy in this part of the state.
We do not know what significance
the increaS Sed tourist potential will
have when this dam is completed.
The Navajo Tribe. the town of
Page and others are interested in
a road from Page southeast to Route

more accessible to the people from

In addition, the power house al
Glen Canyon. the power house at
Fruitland. New Mexico. and the
power house at Joseph Cirywil all
be connected by 34O. 600 volt trans
mission lines and this line will be
extended to Phoenix. furnishing
power to the Salt River Valley.
The Navajo Tribe S just now
completing construction of an 8 !
million dollar sawmin, approx -
mately IL miles north of Fl. Defi-
ance. Arizona, just across the line
in New Mexico. Plans call for an
annual cW from 1862 TO 1869 of
AZ, 900 board feet and anestin,ated
annual cut from 1870 1877 of 33,
500 board feet. The entire forest
area will be cut over by 1877 and
then the forest area will be reeval-
uated and the annual cut set for
the second cut cycle.
Legislation is now pending
which, if enacted, will establish the
Navajo Irrigation District Approx
imately Ito. 600 acres are expected
TO be subjugated and made suitable
for irrigation. While this is in New
Mexico. its influence will be
stronglyfelt in the northeast corner
of the state Of Arizona.
Probably one of the biggest
benefits 10 the area is the potential
tourist business. We have. We think,
some of the most spectacular Seen
cry, some of the most interesting
prehistoric ruins, some of the most
spectacular wild country and other
attractions for the tourist in the
country. The tourist travel ha S
been increased daily in spite OF the
lack of an adequate transportation
system.
The first season that Canyon De
aelly National Monument was ac-
Sessible over paved roads visitors
increased by 33N and it has been
increasing at the same rate ever
since.

might be only a few minutes,
or an hour, but even a short
period of rest can make you
more alert and leave you
better able to concentrate"
Before you can really rest
at night, you must form good
nighttime habits which help
you to relax. Such habits as a
warm bath, fresh air, and a
neat bedroom create a quiet
atmosphere suitable for rest.
