The programs of the District Health Department are as "U follows: 1. Maternal and Child Health. The efforts of the District Health Department to promote the health of mothers and children fall intc several categories and consume a large portion of the time of the community health nurses. Treatment for illness is not given, this 'Itive'h' 4 wgmvZ 0N &, being the responsibility of the primary care physicians in the PREMISES community. A. Well-babclinics, also known as Child Health Conferences, are held in most communities throughout the district. The objective of these clinics is to help children function as well as possible by providing screening medical examinations, evaluating growth and development, providing immunizations .as, necessary, and performing necessary laboray Wildlife News WUdlife The Loser? Fish and wildlife resources in portions of the Pacific Northwest reportedly are becoming the losers in a heated battle over human rights, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision gave the Colville Indian tribe hunting and fishing rights ,on approximately l'a million additional acres of land in Washington. The 4,225 individuals in the tribe are not governed by state regulations protecting fish and wildlife. However, the court did rule that the Department of Game retains the right to regulate other U.S. citizens using the area. Included in the new hunting ground is the Sherman Creek Wildlife Recreation Area, originally purchased with fishing and hunting license money. The court stated that the state can regulate Indians on the area only if it is a "reasonable and necessary measure for conservation." The term "conservation" was not defined, leaving that crucial question for future adjudication. In reviewing the decision, Game Department Director Carl Crouse said, "It is obvious that the recent trend of federal courts in this country is to grant Indians superior rights over the taxpaying citizens, under the presumption that our native Americans should have rights not to be shared by other citizens. "I hope the implications of this case will not pose the serious management problems that recent fishing rights decisions have had to the resource, where it is clearly showing that a division of management responsibilities can have a destructive impact. "In my opinion, it will take Congressional action to resolve the crucial question of who is to manage wildlife resoun.es rjaxiirtze the bentfiu to ail citizens, ii.Jians and alike." The fishing rights court decision Crouse allude to is a recent case where Indians were given 75 percent of the steelhead run on the Nisqually River. The fish are taken for commercial purposes. non-India- fishercommercial men get most of the remaining Non-India- n allowable steelhead harvest. "The small number of steelhead left for sport harvest is unfortunate," officials said, "since the size of the Nisqually run has been increased significantly by the Department's enhancement program, paid for entirely through sportsmen's dollars." The officials said that the court has given the Indians more steelhead per season than the total harvested run before the state began its management program. Seasons Set By Board November 1 will mark the opening of this year's pheasant hunt under action taken by the Wildlife Board last week. The Board ruled that the first Saturday in November will be the pheasant opener from now on, allowing sportsmen to set vacation dates and farmers the opportunity to plan for the hunt. Season lengths and bag limits w ill be set in late summer. Cougar, Bear Seasons The cougar season will begin November 1 and continue until April 15, 1976, as recommended to the Board by Division of Wildlife Resources biologists. The hunt will be statewide except the Henry Mountains, where biologists will conduct a cougar study, and the Northern Region, where only pursuit of the animals will be allowed. The bear hunt will open May 1 and continue until October 15, again with the exception of the Northern Region, where only pursuit will be allowed. Nonresidents will be testricted to the Book Cliffs in eastern Utah as in the past. Livestock owners and their e employees may still take cougars and bears known to be molesting their animals, or they may contact the Division who will authorize a local hunter to harvest the animal. Such harvest must be reported to the Division within 72 full-tim- Spring Turkey Hunt Spring turkey hunters will go .afield May 3 through May 18. The bag limit will be one torn.

Free Plants Offered Loss of wildlife habitat due to urban sprawl can be - partially compensated for by planting vegetation that provides food and cover for animals that can live close to man, says Division of Research t'th applicants to the State Forestry and Fire Control office. Only two plants will be allowed per applicant. Application deadline will be April 10, and the plants may be picked up April 15 through 18 at the Forestry and Fire Control office,-159West North Temple, Salt Lake City. Species include available squaw bush, and bladdersenna, both bushes good for corners and unused areas; multiflora rose, a hedge; and Siberian pea and Russian olive trees. All of these plants offer suitable food and shelter for migratory and residential birds. The program is timely with Governor Calvin L.

In the clinic, parents are also given guidance on how to care for their children. This includes nutritional consultation and other medical and nursing recommendations. The community health nurses follow up the clinic recommendations by making home visits if necessary. The policy of the Board of Health clinics in concerning communities with resident physicians, the physicians are urged to participate in the clinics, but if none are willing and the majority of physicians in the community are not opposed, the medical director of the health department will conduct these clinics on a regular basis.
