Mrs.

Johnny Kuest, wife of the owner of the Magic Mill, said the company lost $1,600 of boxes alone, besides materials for 3,000 mills which were to be shipped this month. A number of the made up mills, stones and hardware were ruined by water or smoke. The company was preparing to ship a load of the mills on Thursday and were already five weeks behind on sales, Mrs. Kuest said. Dorothv's Beauty Salon received extensive smoke and water damage.

The former bank building was empty as the offices had moved to the new bank building across from the Fairways Shopping Center this spring. The library which is in the back of the building, was not damaged. The four apartments on the second floor of the bank building suffered smoke damage causing two of the tenants to move out Tuesday evening. The other two apartments had just been vacated and new tenants were planning to move in this week.

1) Campbell said the failure to recommend a national park preserve status for the area would not necessarily doom the national park concept. "Congress can do anything it wants to. The National Park Service has standards. The area might not fit exactly into a park category, but Congress could write special legislation," he said. "What we're doing is we're developing alternative possibilities for congressmen, the Park Service and the public to come to agreement on." The Park Service study's failure to recommend placing the Thousand Springs area under National Park control contrasted sharpy with another section of the report made public in the Times-News Tuesday.

That section recommended strongly that the Hagerman Valley fossil beds be designated a national monument. According to Campbell, "The Hagerman Valley fossil sites meet all the criteria for a park. It's a very solid park proposal." "One is a very clear-cut park issue and the other is not so clear." Campbell said study did not list as an alternative use Sen. James McClure's, R-Idaho, proposal that the Box Canyon area be given a "wild river" designation. TF man charged TWIN FALLS Nels E.

HAILEY Flood plain development, highways and waste water disposal were among area problems cited Tuesday in a meeting with Blaine County, municipal and federal officials. The meeting was designed as an initial survey of water and related land problems in urban areas for a study sponsored by the Idaho Water Resource Board and the State Planning and Community Affairs Agency. Focusing on Sun Valley, Ketchum, Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Burley, the study is being conducted by Roy Taylor and Cyrus Nims, CH2M Consulting Engineers, Boise. The study is financed by the U. S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development. The study results will be incorporated in the Idaho State Water Plan and the Comprehensive Joint Plan of the Pacific Northwest River Basins Commission. During Tuesday's session, Blaine County Commission chairman C. W. (Andy) Gardner said a private firm is presently conducting a cost survey for a major sewage trunkline to serve the Wood River Valley.

He declined, as yet, to name the firm. Gardner said the firm anticipates making a rough estimate of the trunkline costs to determine whether such a line is feasible. The proposed line, under study, Gardner said, would extend Hailey mayor Lawrence Heagle discussed underground water provisions for the 650 acre McCulloch Properties Woodside Development Heagle also recommended that county and city officials should determine the effluent carrying capacity for the river. Gray Reynolds, superintendent of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) and also representing the Ketchum Ranger District said the newly formed SNRA will have a "big effect" on Ketchum, Sun Valley and the Big Wood River area. Reynolds said a 20 year land use plan has been developed and will be released for public review and comment this fall.

The superintendent said the land use plan includes limits on visitor use which "can be maintained without degrading the environment." County planning and zoning administrator David Vhay stressed the need for a basin wide, comprehensive waste water study. Vhay also said that the state water administration study, which is presently in progress, will provide a valuable data base for planning. Such data, he said, will include information about ground water movements, soil types and the impact of urban development on river quality. Ketchum to a land disposal site south of Bellevue. Gardner stated that the commission is researching a method of allocating to the various communities, a state imposed 1,000 pound BOD loading limit on the Big Wood River.

He said the commission has conducted preliminary discussions on the allocation and will seek further aid from area and municipal officials as well as the state. The commission chairman also cited a highway traffic problem from Timmerman Hill north. New sub-divisions and homes have resulted in an increase of access roads onto U.S. Highway 93, he said. Doug Bishop, Hailey, Soil Conservation Service, expressed concern about the flood plane development and its effect on the character of the Wood River Valley.

"Intensive development in the flood plane is not compatible with the type of river we have now," Bishop said and stated that residents will have to determine a policy regarding further such development Bishop also stated that consideration must be given to the effect of upstream urban development on downstream agriculture. If residents favor retaining this agriculture, he said, measures must be taken to insure its continuance. Basic changes outlined for MY school lunches poultry can be expected from the government. Beef shortages and rising food costs have also affected hospitals in the area. Jim Rosenbaum, administratof for the Twin Falls Magic Memorial Hospital, said rising food costs are creating budget problems.

He explained that under wage-price rules of Phase which still apply to hospitals, Twin Falls Memorial cannot pass on food price rises to the patients without permission from the Cost of Living Council in C. The hospital has asked for a two per cent rate increase, but lias been denied it so far, he said. Although the hospital has not yet cut back on the number of beef and poultry dinners, Rosenbaum is "anticipating', beef shortages and corresponding modification of the menu. "The biggest problem so far is having to substitute and wait longer for orders," Gary Steinbach, administrator of the Hailey and Sun Valley hospitals, said. He added that even though the hospitals had not been short on beef yet, the food budgets were "going way over what we had expected." St.

Benedict's Hospital in Jerome has had to cut back on beef and poultry meals in the staff cafeteria, according to Jerry Jacobson, the hospital administrator. The patients, however, are eating beef the same as before, he said. But the future is uncertain. Jacobson said that SAGA, which supplies St. Benedict's with food, is having trouble obtaining beef and can't guarantee supplying it in the future.

there had been previously, Mrs. Otto said. In fact, she added, it seems that only butter and flour will be provided by the government to the district this year. Previously the government had supplied a wide variety of staples totaling eight cents in value for each meal in the Jerome district. Mrs.

Otto, who recently returned from the American School Food Service National Convention in New Orleans, said that the government may provide nine or ten cents in money for each lunch in lieu of the staples. However she added that "things are really undecided as far as the federal government is concerned" and concluded, "We'll have to make it on our own more." James Muscat, superintendent of Gooding schools, said that his district is attempting to buy beef for the program, but that the shortage and the high price will have a "great effect" on the menu. "In our regular class A lunch program youll see a lot less meat. But we will try to maintain a nutritious lunch for the students." "Throughout the country schools will probably have to improvise on school lunch programs," he added. "Youll probably see a lot more casseroles, wieners, soybean burgers and that type of thing." Regarding staples supplied by the government he said, "There practically isn't any.

So far only a bit of turkey, pineapple and sweet potatoes have been promised from the government. Gooding students used to be able to get extra milk along with their lunch. Now, with the staple cut, if they want more than the half pint provided, they will have to pay a dime for another half pint. Muscat concluded that the same situation is facing Americans everywhere. "ItH be no different than (the situation) for the housewife," he said.

"My wife is changing; I've eaten more casseroles this summer than ever before." "I don't think it will hurt the people. The average American eats too much anyway," he said adding a note of optimism. Mrs. William Fultz, food supervisor of the Buhl School District, predicted both change in the types of foods served and cuts in the quantity served. She said that Northland Lockers, which sells meat to the Buhl school district has not been able to say whether it will be able to supply beef prior to Sept.

12 or at what price it will sell beef after the freeze is lifted that day. Even without being able to buy beef yet, food prices have 'teally cut into the budget that we are allotted" she said. "Well probably have to serve more peanut butter and dried beans," Mrs. Fultz added. Prices in Buhl will rise a nickel to 35 cents for children and increase a dime to 50 cents for adults this year.

In addition, quantity will be decreased; previously, the district served a full cup of vegetabls and a full cup of fruit with the lunch. Now, the quantity will be cut back to the minimum requirements of a cup of vegetables and cup of fruit she said. Poultry meals will be cut too, Mrs. Fultz maintained. Last! year the government supplied all poultry meals, comprising 12 per cent of total meals served during the year.

This year, no By BILL LAZARUS Times-News writer TWIN FALLS Soybean burgers, cheese casseroles, hot dogs and peanut butter sandwiches are likely to occupy more prominent positions on school lunch menus this year throughout Magic Valley. Squeezed between soaring prices and beef shortages, school lunch program directors throughout the area report that basic rhanges will be made in the program. "The price isn't so bad, it's the idea that you can't get it," Betty Otto, Jerome district school lunch supervisor said, regarding beef. Mrs. Otto said that she used to buy 4,000 pounds of beef at a time, but now only has enough on hand to last two weeks when school starts Aug.

28. "I'm afraid the price of poultry is clear out of reach," she said. To counter the costs Jerome schools will probably have wieners, soybeans and the like for protein," Mrs. Otto said. Even so, as in other school districts, the price of the school lunch will be upped a nickel this year to 33 cents for the grade schools and 40 cents for the high school.

Besides rising food prices, one reason for the five cent increase is that the federal government is no longer providing many staples. Last year the government supplied the Jerome schools with one-fifth of the total meat used during the year. This year the government will supply no meat since there is no surplus as 'i 1.
