Dispensing with the fifth wheel and tire would save trunk space and weight. Ob- served one tire company official: "Every pound that can be saved represents that much less work for the engine." Some autos now come with a deflated spare and a cylinder of compressed air. It saves space, but is only an interim measure. Oars of the future may ride on foam-fille- en that aid.

They leaked, collected nails, and often exploded. Drivers could expect at least one flat per trip, and standard equipment included three or four spare tires, a hand pump, and a portable vulcanizer for torn rub patching holes in n, g rubber-impregnate- taining some 80,000 steel wires. Not even rifle bullets can flatten it. During the past six years, the estimated population of the western Arctic herd of carilxiu has dropped from o.(ioo to between tio.ooo and 50.000. The crisis seriously threatens the people in Alaska's inland villages, where hunters still depend heavily on the animal for food in the winter, reports the National Geographic society's new Still Waters, White book, Waters. By 1808 there were more than 50 automobile companies in the United States producing experimental vehicles. although the name "automobile had not been settled upon.

As a result of the drought, hay production in the county is less than 10 percent of normal according to Stuart, and local ranchers are facing the. winter months with adequate feed for only about d of their livestock. In other action the board placed two new project measures on the Action List for Cache County. They are the Hyrum Irrigation Group Well and Pump and the Smithfield North Field Irrigation project. . , Although emergency livestock feed programs exist, it was felt that they were not adequate to meet the current crisis in Rich County. Board one-thir- members agreed to seek solutions to the problems by helping ranchers locate supplies of feed, possibly from Box Elder County, where supplies are adquate. Other items discussed at the meeting included federal funds available to help finance fish and wildlife con- servation and hunter training programs. According to John Salvurakis, Utah Department of Wildlife Resources, the state will receive about 2.1 million dollars from the federal government this year to reimburse part of the costs of these programs. The money to fund these programs is pro- vided by license fees and excise taxes on sporting goods. Mr. Salvurakis also reported that a recent study by Utah State University showed that land grazed heavily by livestock at the right time of year produces the most forage for later use by big game animals. In a related discussion on the declining pheasant population, the board decided to write to legislators requesting that protection of magpies be suspended and that a program to control the skunk population be initiated. Long-tergoals from the current "Program of Action were reviewed in preparation for a planned revision. Meetings to gather input from federal and state agencies on possible changes in these goals were m ALAN THOMAS PRESTON Grunt on me for prompt, personal service.
