Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt's last name means field of roses. The popularity of the rose is also attested to by the fact that over 4,000 songs have been written extolling it. Poets as well as lovers since civilization began have made it their favorite subject. As early as 4,000 B.C., the Greek poetess Sappho named the rose the Gueen of Flowers, a title it still bears. It has played an important part in human culture all down through the ages. It is well known in religion, art, literature, and heraldry. The roese makes a very positive addition to our other national symbols. The eagle, the flag, and the Statue ot Liberty tell the story of our strengths, freedoms, and willingness to fight for liberty as well as the unity we have as a nation. The rose helps to tell the full story about the loving, caring, charitable aspects of the American people, said David Ninomiya, president of Roses Inc. the national trade association of American greenhouse rose growers. 16, 1986 Prospects For Hunt Opener Looking Good Weather SALT LAKE. permitting, deer harvest and success should up from recent years statewide. high, he is enrolled in the honors English program.

Mm Humane Society Gives Its Side To the editor, This letter is in response to an article printed in the Thursday, Sept. 25 edition of the Green Sheet, entitled Every Dog Should Have Day, Older Ones, Too. Let me begin by saying the Humane Society of Utah is very pleased with the outcome of Mrs. Crabtrees efforts. We know Cuddles has found a home with a person who truly cares. We are not pleased, however, at your papers total lack of professional journalism, i.e., investigating both sides of an issue before printing an article. If your reporter had bothered to ask the Humane Society our reasons for not adopting older animals, she might have provided a valuable public service. Instead, your paper chose to print a slanted account, making the Humane Society seem the "bad guys. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Humane Society of Utah receives over 23,000 strays and unwanted family pets each year. We have space for only 126 of these animals at one time. Thus, we are forced to be very selective about the animals that are made available for adoption. In our 25 years of operation, we have found that very young animals (under eight weeks) and older animals have an extremely small chance of being adopted. We certainly dont like this fact. Having to euthanize a young puppy or a geriatric cat just because of its age seems so senseless. But this is the task the people of Utah have given to You take the Humane Society: care of the excess animals. Its not our responsibility. crisis is But the pet population eryones responsiblity, and until e people of Utah stop pointing ngers at anyone else but emselves, the Humane Society ill be forced to make available for loption only those animals whose lances are the best. We dont like this situation; lither does Mrs. Crabtree. But in place of protest letters and biased nespaper coverage, the Humane Society of Utah needs the support of the public through increased responsiblity. Please, urge your readers to have their pets spayed or neutered so we dont have to make the decision about whether an animal lives or becomes one of Continued on page 11 pet-own- er BLOUSES, SKIRTS, PANTS, SWEATERS COMPARE AT $40 $39 JACKETS COMPARE AT $84 BLACK CREPE COORDINATES SAVE 52 Just one group trom our tremendous coor- dinates selection: COMPARE AT $80 LEATHER DRESS BOOTS Put your winter wardrobe on an elegant footing with these stylish leather boots.

All areas of the state have shown improvement, say Jense, and northern Utah should start to provide some better hunting in the old favorite areas. Jense is hesitant to forecast deer hunting success in particular areas since hunting success depends on much more than deer herd size. The biologist suggests hunters hunt their old familar places. One caution. Forest roads in some areas, especially the Wasatch Plateau, are still suffering from the results of a wet weather cycle. Ruts, mudslides and associated problems will make some roads virtually impassable. The deer season begins Saturday and runs through Oct. 28.

Last year she completed a master of arts degree in communications as a hobby for their own pleasure, and is he said, the most readily recognized and widely grown flower in the United States. No other flower offers such beauty, elegance, charm, and fragrance both in the landscape and as a fresh-cu- t flower. Plus, there are roses in practically every garden. Of course, the most famous rose garden is on the White House grounds, where for many years our presidents have entertained and held official slate functions, standing as a symbol of peace, reported Mike Novovesky, Rose Selecpresident of tions (AARS). It is known that roses grew natively in America 35 million years ago, as fossilized rose petals of that ancient time have been found in Montana and Oregon. Sailors on Columbus ship the Santa Maria in 1492 sighted and picked up a rosh bush floating in the sea, and it was so recorded in the ships log on October 11 of that year.
