Drowning Second Fatality On Flaming Gorge Dam Project
The second fatality on the Flaming Gorge Dam project occurred Saturday when supervisor Charles Edwin Terelg, 37, drowned while trying to recover bridge decking from the Green River. The body was recovered Tuesday. Terelg, of Verna, was riding a 64 foot decking section east of Linwood damaged by ice flows. A crew of six attempted to remove the decking with a bulldozer attached cable as river currents thwarted rescue efforts. The first fatality, Tony Simon, 26, died Friday climbing canyon campsite walls. Terelg was born August 22, 1922 in Sulphur Oklahoma, married to Virginia Eagan. Continued on page 8.

Bridge Repair Pile Driving In High Gear
Pile driving to replace a 100 foot section of a belt spanning Green River between Dutch John and Wood is proceeding at a record pace after ice jam damage Tuesday. Workers are ferried across as cars pass, and the damaged bridge, a vital link to Flaming Gorge dam work, blocks access for 55 junior high and high school pupils from Manila. Walton of the US Bureau of Reclamation says a catwalk across the opening may be ready by midweek for student and project worker use.
