They built houses in the sagebrush, ex posed to broiling suns and full sweep of winds. They opened up the lands and fought the drifting sands. Perspiring housewives swept and shoveled dirt from porches and floors, and sometimes fed the families from dusty plates. Under the inspiration of great optomism, and the determination of pioneers, the settlers finally estab lished fields of green, and grew trees and more trees for protection. Ten years of this effort - passed be fore a noticeable change took place and the ravages of the desert showed signs of defeat. The spread of irrigation water, modification of heat by greenery and shade from spreading locusts gave comfort and protection from sun and wind. During this early period many homesteaders quit their jobs. They couldn’t take it. Many of the men would have stayed, but the women would not. Of the hundreds who came, less than 100 of the original farmers or townsmen remain. This is just a bit of history that should be passed on to those in authority who control the proposed housing facilities for a new group of residents. Is it wise in the wake of all years of experience here to plant families in the middle of a sun burnt area with miles of bakeoven conditions around, and where the wind gods will wreck vengeance for their former defeat. World War No. II will be over, peace will be restored throughout the world, tire and gas rationing will be things of the past, but Old Sol will still pour down his rays, and that southwest wind will be there for centuries to come. Nor will a little bright spot oasis in the midst overcome Sahara’s joys at striking at the modern comforts of men.
