This is especially true for parents who are planning to give Parents 42-3- 9. and their children firearms for Christmas. Utah law prohibits the selling or giving of firearms to any person under 14 years of age. Another section of the law prohibits the use of firearms by anyone under 14 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Utah Fish and Game regulations allow juveniles 12 years of age or older to hunt small game if accompanied by an adult. The approaching Christmas vacation and increased activity in rabbit hunting and plinking by young people places an additional responsibility on parents to be aware of their children's activities and be sure they are properly supervised while using firearms. Young people soon develop into responsible sportsmen and gun owners if given the proper training and supervision. 46-4- 43 55 ad 60-5- Jtah Stars to play next three games at Chariot races cutter race are Chariot team Utahs to now p.m. Saturday support lome, plan race track, 12 mile and at 1:00 The Utah Stars, first-pla- ce team in the western division of the professional American Basketball Association, the position they have held since the outset of the 1970-7- 1 ABA season, will try to pad their lead during the next week with three home games. 65-5- The Stars will play host to the Pitts- burgh Condors on Friday, Dec. 11, the Virginia Squires on Sunday, Dec, 13, and the Memphis Pros on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

Funds for hatcheries Utah Division of Fish and Game hatcheries were busy during 1970 rearing and stocking fish in Utah waters. A total of 15,118,371 fish, weighing 858,734 pounds, were stocked during 1970. The majority of the fish stocked were rainbow and cutthroat trout amounting to over 12 million fish. Ten species of fish were stocked from Division hatcheries, including seven species of trout, grayling, Kokanee salmon, and walleye pike. The Divisions hatchery system faces serious problems in trying to maintain quality fishing for sportsmen in Utah. Deteriorating hatcheries, in need of remodeling and repair, have an additional load placed on them by the increasing fishing pressure and the creation of new fishing waters throughout the State. Disease problems and the shortage of disease-free eggs also hamper production. In order to maintain the fishery program at its present level, funds must be made available to upgrade the present hatchery facilities and to build new hatcheries on suitable water supplies. Gathering data Utahs big game seasons are over, but field men are still busy gathering data and conducting surveys of rangelands to plan for the 1971 seasons. Office personnel are also busy collecting and computing harvest figures from the 1970 season. The fall measurement of browse transects has already been completed. These transects will give valuable data on the amount of winter forage taken by deer on key winter range areas. The transects are read again in the spring to determine winter use. deer sex ratio counts are underway and should be completed by January. This survey will give trends of ratios after the fall harvest. Also in progress are deer trapping and tagging operations. As the snow depth increases and deer move into foothill areas, they are trapped and tagged with metal ear tags and plastic streamers which allow field men to follow their movements from winter to summer ranges. Aerial surveys of moose and elk are also winter activities that keep personnel of the Division of Fish and Game busy. It is possible for a trained observer in an aircraft to count the animals, as well as determining the number of adult bulls, yearling bulls and antlerless animals. These counts must be completed before t lie animals shed their antlers.
