Area Commissioners Against Continuing Wild River Studies
The meeting of the Western Slope and San Luis Valley County Commissioners held last weekend in Durango produced a resolution requesting the powers that be to withdraw the 12 rivers that are under study until the state and local governments can have a chance to see whether or not they should be included in the studies. They felt that this was a potentially threatening situation concerning the Dolores River Project.

Cat Not Rabid
What could have been a serious situation had a happy ending when it was discovered that the cat that bit the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Thompson was not rabid.
