Once the snow leaves, they traditionally move to higher elevations and become conspicuous around camping areas. Three such species of birds that appear to be rapidly multiplying in the mountain west are the Bald headed Tent Pitcher, the Redeyed Stake Pounder and the Three Toed Axe Wlelder. The Division of Fish and Game advises that these species are all easily identified by their external move ments around Utah campgrounds. Hazards are presented when these birds settle in one area for any length of time. They are known to be noisy, use artificial lights and radios long after dark and leave nesting materials scattered over a wide area. QV. From the . Somerset HTxzicjhain COURIER Frederick, Md. Is the American kaci.k in danger of becoming bald? In an old fable, a bird meets a fisherman with a can of woims and asks him for one. Sure, says the fisherman. All I ask in return is one of your feathers. A feather for a worm seems reasonable to the bird, so the exchange is made. The next day the bird is hungry again. He weighs the inconvenience, of searching for food against the expediency of trading with the fisherman and decides in favor of expediency. After a few days, the bird has traded off so many feathers that he cannot fly. He continues to make his daily trip to the fisherman on foot until all of his feathers are . gone. At this point, the fisherman picks up the fat, naked bird and cooks him for dinner. As we enter the New Year, leaving behind a year marked with crime and violence, we might ask ourselves if the American eagle has a full plumage or is he missing feathers because of our expediency in bartering with criminals. A persuasive argument can be made that the citizen's freedoms diminish in direct proportion to the increase of criminal activity in our country. His risk of becoming the victim of a serious crime increased 15 percent in 1967, and a similar rise is indicated for 1968. In many areas, fear forces the citizen to remain off the streets at night, and anxiety makes him suspicious of strangers. Some merchants are intimidated by thugs who walk away with merchandise. More and more businesses are adopting policies not to accommodate the public but to protect their property and thwart criminal assaults on their employees. The list of abuses keeps growing, and society's scope of rights and freedoms keeps law-abidin- g shrinking. Certainly, under the rule of law those who abide by the law should have protection equal to that of those who break the law. Many Americans feel that they do not have equal protection. As we look to the future, we must bring the matter of crime and the criminal back into balance with the safety and welfare of the public. Concern and pity for the lawbreaker cannot be permitted to deprive the peaceful citizen of his rights and freedoms. Palliative policies and appeasement are producing soaring crime rates and Riling our streets with criminals who should be in jail. In 1969, let us resolve to have fair but vigorous law enforcement, prompt and decisive prosecution, and realistic punishment of criminals. In dealing with crime, expediency is a shortcut to disaster. Let us not trade our freedoms for a can of worms. . Edgar Hoover -- |
