Flood Sidelights Don't Go Sight-Seeing in Ogden Canyon "If you have no business up Og- en canyon, please stay away from lere," Homer Brunker, state road ommission supervisor, urged to- ay. Because of the influx of sight- eeing motorists, work to clear the iver channel and prevent the ughway from washing away is be- ng seriously hampered. "We've re- tricted traffic to one way travel about once every hour," Brunker ;aid, "So if there are any sight- ieers they'll have to wait and go chrough when the road is open. "There is always someone will¬ing to drive miles to see someone else in trouble, it seems," declared Brunker. Out at Utah General depot, Col. Clifford S. Urwiller, acting com¬manding officer, wants to set the record straight. "We haven't 100,000 sandbags out here as we were said to have Tuesday night. We have only 42. And nine of these are useless be¬cause of holes, leaving only 35 serviceable," he said. The colonel explained that more than 6000 bags were loaned to Salt Lake City more than a month ago. "The depot feels it is part of Og¬den and has always extended aid to the city whenever possible. We cannot assist in this emergency be¬cause we do not have the needed material," Col, Urwiller said.

The department is also surveying rural routes in the Warren, West Warren and West Weber areas where floods have isolated some homes. "We're trying to set up points where mail can be delivered, to these residents," he said. Units of the local civil air patrol. organization have played their part in the flood situation. Some 100 cadets and senior members of the Weber and Ogden flights joined other volunteer workers in Ogden canyon to fight the raging water. They assisted in sandbagging property and removing furniture and personal belongings from homes of residents threatened. They also assisted in nsmitting messages in connecti with the work at various poin the can¬yon by means of waIkies.
