Apparently a pet poisoner is making mak-ing the rounds again in Delta. This time the poisoner did hia dirty work near Pleasant Plea-sant Village. "Why don't the police do something?", usually follows fol-lows a poisoning. Unfortunately, the police are helpless to stop poisonings. pois-onings. Arrests can only be made on a complaint signed by a witness to the deed. And a person bent on poisoning poison-ing animals relies on stealth and darkness to accomplish his dastardly deed. People with pets are sometimes amiss in allowing their pets to run loose. Not all people are animal lovers. To those, animals are nuisances. But this latest instance of poisoning seems to fall in a different category. Rabbits penned and an old mother cat that never wanders far from the family home fell victim vic-tim to the poisoner.

Outdoorsmen Alerted for 'Birds' Outsdoorsmen are alerted to watch for three species of birds expected ex-pected to be commonly found in Utah camp areas this season. Some have been known to inflict painful injuries to campers. Recent vears have seen seasonal invasions of certain species of birds which hold over in lower valleys until high mountain snows melt. Once the snow leaves, they traditionally move to higher ele vations and become conspicuous about camping areas. Three such species that appear to be rapidly multiplying in the mountain West, are the Bald-headed Tent Pitcher, the Red-eyed Stake Pounder, and the Three-toed Three-toed Axe Wielder. The Division of Fish and Game advises these species are easily identified by their external topography topog-raphy and characteristic movements move-ments about Utah campgrounds. Hazards are great when one gets too close to any of these birds during its campground dance. They are considered hazardous to food supplies of camping parties.

As the law now stands young men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five are subject to be drafted into service. The new proposal concentrates on the nineteen-year olds only. Under the present law a young man is faced with indecision for six years. Under the new proposal a young man would only have one year of indecision. Parents tend to think of their nineteen-year-olds as immature. Yet, nineteen-year-olds of today are far more mature than were their parents at nineteen. They have heard more. They have seen more. They have traveled more. This lends itself to an earlier maturity. We are of the opinion that each man should serve his country and should feel honored to do so. But we feel that our present law is in need of a major overhaul as it allows inequities. In addition it encourages en-courages male students to stay in college with no clear-cut clear-cut idea of what they want except to avoid the draft. Also, it oftentimes takes a college graduate before he can use his brand new degree. Since President Nixon's proposal, we have taken the opportunity to discuss it with several young men who are subject to today's draft law. Each one felt that it would be beneficial. We support President Nixon's proposal and urge Congress to act favorably on it and soon. FOOD FOR THOUGHT . . . This month's Sherm Lloyd Report from Washington Washing-ton holds some food for thought. Congressman Lloyd reminds us that twenty-five years after World War Two there are approximately 200,000 men in Europe to maintain main-tain the peace and over 40,000 men in Japan. Fifteen years after the Korean War the United States has over 50,000 men in South Korea to maintain that 6haky peace. Is a military victory in Vietnam better than a negotiated ne-gotiated peace? participated in any way.
