Temple Garments Modified By Presidency Permits Wearer Choice
The first presidency allows optional modifications to temple garments worn by married members and those who participated in temple rites. Changes, such as shorter lower garments and shorter sleeves, aim at comfort and cleanliness, but remain elective and not compulsory. Older adherents view any deviation as a break from tradition, while younger members welcome the liberal shift.

Upper Blue Bench Irrigation Wins in Judge Hanson Ruling
Judge Hanson's June 14 decision favors the Upper Blue Bench Irrigation District in cases against the United States government and Dry Gulch Irrigation. Jurisdiction remains in minor matters to safeguard government interests and reimburse Dry Gulch for added costs if water is diverted from Lakefork above the Dry Gulch diversion. The state supreme court may review the ruling. Dry Gulch prospects for reversal appear slim. Landowners await water as 15,000 acres gain irrigation, boosting county valuations and reviving home steader hopes.
