A Pageant
Saturday, May 10, 1980, at
':30 p.m:
This pageant is the official
statewide finals for the Miss
Teen USA Pageant, to be held
--~in November of 1980. Susan
McDannold of St. Albans,
W.V., is the current Miss Teen
USA, and was crowned on
Dec. 1, 1979 in Albuquerque,
N.M.
Contestants from all over
the state will be competing for
the Colorado title. All con-
testants are between the ages
of 14 and 18, and must have at
least a "B" average in school.
They are requested to partici-
pate in the Volunteer Service
Program of the Miss Teen
USA Pageant.
Through this program,
many young ladies are be-

in the incident, again, in an
alley between Colorado Ave.
and Kansas St., crossed by
2nd St. At that time, accord-
ing to reports, one of the sus-
pects pointed a hand gun at
Garrett. The marshal then re-
quested assistance from the
sheriff's office.
Dispatchers summoned
Deputy John Cross, 30, of
Vona, to the scene to help
Garrett. When Cross arrived,
and began to leave his patrol
vehicle, he observed one of
the suspects fleeing.
Cross, at that time, ordered
Casiniro Mireles, 26, of Bur-
lington, to halt, at which time
the deputy was shot.
Cross fell in the alley be-
hind 310 Colorado Ave., with a
bullet being lodged in the
dwindling of" prime agricul-
tural land by onrushing urban-
ization, which is occurring in
Colorado at twice the national
rate.
"If we seek one solution, we
seek it in vain," Dr. Carlson
told a packed meeting room at
Mountain View Electric. "It is
a diverse area, and so the
solutions are diverse. It may
take a hundred different solu-
tions."
He stated that present state
land use planning is inade-
quate--"land use tools do not
meet the farmers' needs,"
with urbanization being alloW-
ed to encroach on the agricul-
tural lifeblood of the nation.
To properly assess the con-
version problem, the state is
gathering comments and
views of farmers, after which a
definitive report, embracing
many of the collected recom-
mendations, will be'prepared
on action to be tak()n. The
statewlde meetings=swill be
culminated by a state confer-
ence in Denver, in May.
The farmers at the Limon
meeting divided into severa~
groups, and jointly Identified
the major causes of land con-
version and the solutions. In
addition, they individually fil-
led out questionnaires on the
problem, which asked for
causes and recommenda-
tions.
(Next week, the Plainsman
wifl present an in-depth report
on the causes and solutions
to land conversion that were
proposed and discussed at
the Limon meeting. In addi-
tion, starting in this issue, the
Plainsman is featuring a spec-
ial series of reports that ad-
dress the problem of land
conversion, and how it enters
into agriculture in east-central
Colorado.)

nal cord. When shot, the bul-
let entered the deputy's chin
and failed tO exit. He was
rushed to Kit Carson County
Memorial Hospital by the
Stratton ambulance, manned
by Kent Jostes and Ron
Currey.
After emergency treatment
in Burlington, he was flown to
St. Luke's Hospital in Denver,
according to Sharon Heinz of
the sheriff's office.
Early reports of Cross's
condition indicated there
would be no paralysis, and he
was reported in stable condi-
tion. Surgery was expected on
Tuesday, with release frdm
the Denver hospital possible,
sometime on Thursday.
A ROOEO HORSE WAS KILLED when this trailer It was being
