showing the vast amount of geo­
thermal energy in the Yellow­
stone Park. 1 can imagine the
belter that we would hear if
someone even thought of using
Old Faithful as a power source.
Many of us have the idea that
geothermal power can be found
by drilling into the center of
a hot springs area. This is
not necessarily so. The actual
source of the hot springs is
sometimes found many miles
away and thousands
of feet
below the surface. Geothermal
energy of any appreciable
amount is still in tomorrow’s
world. Until we find a decent
substitute for coal let’s use the
coal and ease the situation in
some areas that are being hurt
badly.

rates are going up.
Credit is still fairly easy to
get, but some lenders are get­
ting a bit more fussy about who
they will lend to, and increas­
ing their rates at the same time.
Now, more than ever, if you
are going to use credit, it’s im­
portant to your pocketbook to
shop around to see where you
can get credit for the least
cost.

Hunting Permits To
Fund Cow Hollow Park
Visitors to the Cow Hollow
and Sunset Valley areas south­
west of Nyssa will notice more
and more bright pink "No Hunt­
ing" signs going up on farms
in those areas, but it isn’t
anything to cause hunters to
become alarmed. Those signs
mean that the hunting rights
have been reserved by the ow­
ners for tlie benefit of a drive
to raise funds to improve the
baseball and recreational ti-
cllities at the old CCC camp
patk site in Cow Hollow.
The children in the Cow Hol­
low community have been using
the < amp baseball diamond tor
years, but there is no drinking
water, no grass, no sanitary
facilities and no accominoda-
tions tor spectators at the
games. The older folks have
wanted a picnic area tor com­
munity get-togethers for a long
me too, and have de< ided to
raise some money to fill this
community need.
The landowners in the area
have contributed the hunting
rights to over 8,000 acres of
choice hunting lands in the
area.
The Babe Ruth, Little
League, Peewee League and
Girls Softball teams and their
parents have been selling sea­
son hunting permits on the lands
posted with the pink ' no hunting”
signs. Tlie tickets are available
for $10 and entitle the hunter
to gain access to any and all
lands so posted as many times
as they wish and as often as
they wish during the regular
bird season. Hunters must check
with land owners before hunt­
ing, however,
as land ow­
ners reserve the right to limit
the number of hunters and the
area to 1» hunted at any time.
Of course hunters will be ex­
pected to observe gun safety
rules and to conduct themsel­
ves as sportsmen.
Maps showing the locations
of reserved lands will be avail­
able prior to the opening of
hunting season.
