Hows business this year? plan For anyone who has watched the plight of New York City or has seen the pall of acrid smoke which hangs over Salt Lake and Provo, the news of Payson Citys move to write a comprehensive plan is more than welcome. By looking five, ten, even 20 years down the road, this towns citizens and leaders can act to preserve Paysons small town atmosphere despite inevitable growth. .They can avoid the mistakes of larger cities, many of which have outgrown thegovernmentsability to provide services. The plan, if and when it is completed, will undoubtedly lead to a few problems of enforcement and compliance which do not now exist. However, these problems will be small in comparison with the crises which continually face government without foresight. Paysons situaton is not unique in Utah or the United States. Census statistics reveal a growing trend in his nation for city dwellers to flee their urban surroundings for the peace and cleaniness small towns. Without some control, some plan of action, the glut of urban emigrants could cause the same in disaster small overpopulation towns which now plagues the cities.

In searching for something to w rite about I captured a senior student, a girl, from one of our high schools, and listened to her for about thirty minutes discuss what she liked and didnt like about her school. It was such an interesting discussion I would like to share her comments with you. She is concerned with the dress standards and thinks that students take advantageof the somewhat liberal standards. Admitteldly, she likes to relax and dress in Grub-bie- s on theweekend but feels that students need to be more concerned about grooming. She felt that stand them. kids too often take advantage of the teachers. Students have some responsibility to get to know their teachers.

Happy Holidays. felt that school pride was evident in her school and is very appreciative of the fact that the administration and teachers often thank the students for keeping the school looking nice and for special things which they accomplish. She stated, We have something for everyones interest. If kids dont get involved it is their own fault. Andthen, she said that sometimes people often can get too involved. She has strong feelings about honesty in school. Too many kids cheat and the students who reallywork hard and study feel it is unfair when students are able to cheat and get better grades. This student also indicated that perhaps athletics are over emphasized and there is a real need to support and improve the cultural arts in our schools. I: is really exciting to sit down and visit with our students and when we sit back to take a look at what the schools offer and how students interact with the school, sometimes we can find some help to solve some of the problems that we have. I think in recent columns Ive been dealing with quite a problems when really there are lots of good things, fine kids", and outstanding teachers working in our schools. When discussing some of the good things about school she has a very positive outlook and said, We really have a good school. Our teachers Growth is Paysons greatest promise If it is unplanned, strains on budgets an direst threat. it can put severe and taxes would increase. If it is planned, growth can pay for itself by adding to the tax base. But more than money is involved. The quality of life is not measured in dollars.

If they want to keep it that way, they wil have ample chances to do so during public hearings on the new plaa The Chronicle urges the citizens of know Payson to let the city government what they want their town to become before it is too late.

Duck population UTAH STATE DIVISION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES Fishing ends Nov. 30 Utahs general fishing season comes to an end with the 9 p.m. closing time Nov. 30. Although many Utah waters remain open to angling, some popular spots will year-roun- be closing. d Fishermen are reminded to check the 1975 Aquatic Wildlife Proclamation (Section D) for accurate details on which waters will be closed. In addition to the area closing for this year, some waters are regulated with temporary closures. The irregular seasons are outlined in Section C of the proclamation. Proclamations are available at all Division offices. The 1975 fishing season produced relatively good fishing but with some spotty results. Fishermen can expect general fishing conditions throughout the state to be good the rest ot 1975, particularly in the large bodies of water, according to Supervisor of Fisheries Management, Glenn Davis. Fishing regulations for 1976 were one of the major considerations at the Nov. 22 Wildlife Board meeting held in Garden City. Utah's Board discussed regulations pertaining to Bear Lake with Idahos Fish and Game Commission, which was also present at the meeting. Details of the 1976 Aquatic Wildlife Proclamation will be released at a later date. Waterfowl According to field bag checks by the Division of Wildife Resources, Utah waterfowl hun- - Principal Waterfowl Biologist A1 Regenthal, reported that the duck population in Utah waters at the start of the current season was approximately one and a quarter million birds. That population had dwindled to of a million by about the end of October. The figure, however, represents a substantial number of birds for this time one-thir- d of year.

In general, that has meant more shooting for hunters. Shooters can expect even more birds to move inside to the protected waters as the weather becomes colder and ice forms outside the dikes. Cold weather and ice began to affect Utah marsh areas last week. As icy conditions spread, ducks will tend to concentrate in open pools, providing additional shinning for foot soldiers. Notes 'n Quotes Nonhunters can help pay for wildlife habitat. Its as easy as stopping by the post office and buying a Migratory Bird Hunting stamp for $5. Proceeds go to purchase wetland habitat. Since 1934 when the "duck stamp" first went on sale, over $160 million in revenue has been collected. Last year over 2 million purchases provided close to $11 million in monies. Monies arc used to build and maintain dikes and marshes, to pi ovule bioloyisls to help m management and to purchase equipment.
