The announcement on the deer hunt came as the result of late studies as to the extent of damage done to the deer herd during the past severe winter. It was found that most herds were down in number by rather substantial percentages, and that the extended hunts (eliminated in the regulation changes) were not only unnecessary, but could create even greater problems. We commend the wildlife resource division on their stand and the decision. But herein lies the problem. With the hunt practically underway, proclamations having been published and distributed several weeks ago, the spreading of the news of changes to all hunters is nearly impossible. And even when the news is heard, there is still a certain amount of confusion. Because of the complexity of the seasons and hunting rules of big game, it would appear to us that the time has come for a more uniform set of regulations applying to the bulk of the state, with fewer exceptions. This would create less confusion, and teas chance of legitimate error on the part of the sportsman. A case in point is the elk hunt this year. The staggered opening dates of the three major elk hunting areas of the state created unnecessary and massive problems. Vast numbers of the 25,000 elk hunters shifted their interest from one opening to the other, overloading each of the units. We would hope that another year would see a uniform opening date for the hunt, dividing the pressure more evenly throughout the state. The staggered openings also caused some confusion as to what was open and what was not. Even the state news media was confused on this point, with at least one story appearing intimating that the Manti area would open one week earlier than the proclamation stated. The report is that at least one party of elk hunters went into that unit, killed elk and were apprehended. They were in conflict with the law. Even though confusion reigned, this was no excuse. The change of either sex hunts to buck only for the deer hunt this year has also created some confusion. We understand some hunters run afoul of the law on this issue. As we mentioned before, we feel it is time for more uniformity in hunting laws. We feel that of prime importance at this time is a single opening date for the elk hunt. If pressures need to be varied on various units, it should be done by extensions, not early openings. Since the deer hunt is more complex, it is understandable that there must be some variants. But we feel that the variations should be kept to a minimum. There should be one general hunt season and kill regulations for the bulk of the state, depending on the herd conditions each year. Through this means, it is hoped that less confusion and by the same token fewer problems and more enjoyment can be experienced during the annual recreation hunts.

This plant is of the same type, that the State Board of Health refused to approve for use in Myton City a few days ago. Since it haa been State approved in Hite and it ia doing a good Job, the council feela that is should be accepted by the State Board of Health for use in Myton City. This system is realistically priced for a city of My ton's size and would allow room for future expansion.

Rose, Executive Director of the Department of Social Services, today that plans were completed for selling all food stamps by mail effective November 1, 1973. The food stamp program e families to enables increase their food buying power by investing their own money in Federal food coupons (food stamps) worth more than they paid. The coupons are then spent like cash for food at authorized retail food outlets. Mr. Cooper is particularly concerned that people will be delayed in getting their food stamps if they continue to go to the post offices after November 1, 1973. Participants will now have two ways of buying food stamps. Those in the "food stamp only" program will be required to send a cashier's check or money order and their Authorization to Purchase (ATP) card directly to the Utah Food Stamp Office, Box 327, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110. Persons receiving a money grant need only complete the withholding form which authorizes the Office to deduct the cost of their food stamps from thier money grant. They ran get the authorization forms at their local Assistance Payments Offices. Participants are cautioned not to send in their ID cards. Instructions sent with Authorization to Purchase cards in September and October should be carefully read and followed. The "bonus" coupons received by participants make possible greater food supplies and more nutritious meals. The bonus stamps bring approximately $670,000 per month, or $8,100,000 per year in new purchasing power to Utah residents from the funds provided by the Federal For over 100 years, Stetson has been the name in Western hats.
