Show Pane Twelve FRIDAY. DECEMBER 23, 1960 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Plans For Inauguration Safety Mapped By Medic Committee of the Safety Service, District of Columbia Chapter of American Red Cross; Theodore Witrud, head of the Washington Medical j ' Society; and Dr. James Dusabek. (Continued from page 1) ' insuring adequate sewage facili-ties for the 5000 people who will live in the 275 car Pullman City at Union Station. Dr. George W. Calver, Physi-- 'cian to the Congress, will be in charge of the medical service at the inauguration ceremonies at the capitol. Dr. Reamur Donnally will be present on the reviewing stand with President-elec- t John F. Kennedy. - .. - - Col. Angel A. Cardona, Sur-geon for the Military District of Washington, will coordinate the activities of the military medical personnel who will work with the committee. These include doctors, nurses and other medi-cal personnel who will come from the Army, Air Force and Navy medical staffs. The mili-tary will also provide ambu-lances and bus type ambulances if necessary. Mrs. Eugene C. Carusi is an of the committee. Vice chairmen are: Dr. Frederick C. Heath, Deputy Director, Depart-ment of Public Health of Wash-ington; Daniel Leonard, Director oLetterd to tlie Editor i i Bargain hunting is no dis-grace. Utahns are better than most at knowing the difference between a good bargain and a bad one. But what was a good bagain in 1953 can easily .be a 1961 whtie elephant. Never have greater demands been made upon the Department of Fish and Game than during these seven years following the last license fee increase. A con-scientious effort has been made to meet these demands. Our records are public and thoughtful inspection will show that Utah's wildlife has not been short changed. It will be unless a li-censee fee increase is approved this year. You've asked for better fish-ing and within the limitations that our water lack imposes we try through improved fish-reari- ng techniques, stocking and lake and stream rehabilitation to meet these demands. We raise and stock more trout per angler than practically any other state in the nation. We have been able to do this only by diverting to the fisheries pro-gram funds isaid in by big game We will maintain the best hunting and fishing possible but limited funds limit your outdoor opportunities. As bill payers you have every right to question an increase in your hunting and fishing license fees. The first logical question is, "Will I get better hunting and fishing by paying more?" If hunting and fishing pressure increase as they have you may expect to harvest less game for each day spent in the field. If we are incapable of preparing for this increased pressure your hunting and fish-ing will be virtualy nonexistant! Each time a chamber of com-merce pridefully announces that more citizens are present the wildlife biologist must recalcu-late and evaluate the effect more hunters and fishermen will have on the resource with which he has been entrusted. As a fish and game depart-ment we have certain obliga-tions to all citizens. We must maintain wildlife in numbers sufficient to assure reasonable hunting and fishing success and more important, we must guar- - A 1.- 1- X iU.A ...Ml Vist nlnAAfl hunters. Many of our hatchery facilities are obsolete, yet we cannot install the most efficient facilities because we don't have the money. Fishing waters in Utah are limited. We can maintain our trout fishing by developing by purchasing water in existing and new reservoirs and obtaining rights of way for public use of streams and lakes. Again, we do not have adequate funds to do this. You've asked for good hunting and we have provided it through liv rpsnpcted bic game aniee uiai nitric wui uc piatca to hunt and fish. Not just next season but in 1980, 2080, 2180. We have never guaranteed each sportsman a full bag limit. While adequate harvests are funda-mental to sound wildlife man-agement, success for the indi-vidual is predicated upon his own skill and good luck. This is as it should be. The Department has. under-taken services unheard of a few years ago such as game range rehabilitation, pathological in-vestigation of fish diseases, erad-ication of trash fish from lakes and streams, obtaining new up-land game birds in unused habi-tat, scientific polluation detec-tion and abatement, airplane fish planting and game surveys, more efficient enforcement to prevent game law violations and safety training for young hunt-ers. All these functions are vital to a good fish and game program in Utah. Now, in order to meet the demands which you have placed on us it is necessary that you give us the means with which to do! We all deplore the rising costs of today but each of us has a great monetary and recreational investment in our fish and game program and its future. It is a lax and foolish landlord who allows his roof to fall in because of the cost of a shingle to patch You need the shingle to pro-tect your roof your share in Utah's wildlife future. Its cost will be less than three cents a day. This cost is based upon the $10 combination fishing and hunting license as proposed and prorated over the year. We can't hold up your end of the bargain by trying to operate in 1961 at 1953 prices! HAROLD S. CRANE, Director Utah State Department of Fish and Game program and a wisely planned, liberalized, small game program. Your deer herds live or die on winter range. Many ranges can support more deer if they were cleared of juniper and pinon and reseeded to important deer forage. On other winter ranges deer find the area stripped bare by livestock. We do not have the money to revegetate or ac-- I Squire these key. wintering areas. The day is imminent when we will be unable to buy or re-habilitate these' ranges at any price. Doubtful? Try to buy an acre' of what was once deer winter range on Salt Lake City's East Bench. This deer herd had to be cut because it couldn't be fed. ) Every sportsman has theories about hunting and fishing, but only through scientific research can we; prove or disprove these theories about what is best for wildlife: Such research is a link in the vital chain of conserva-tion. We cannot provide enough money for scientific discoveries that will lead to more abundant wildlife, Utah has one of the most active marsh improvement programs found anywhere. Potential pub-lic waterfowl areas near Great Salt Lake and elsewhere may become private clubs or munici-pal dumps before we have money enough to develop them. Again fund shortages slow the work. The skilled personnel neces-sary to staff a modern fish and game department are not found on street corners or politicians' patronage lists, pur employees' salaries are the lowest in the western United States. We have lost many, outstanding young men to other agencies. We will lose more unless we can afford 'to compete ifor their technical skills. to be effective for up to two months. Until the stands are completed the contractor for the stands has the responsibility for keeping the seats clean, but when the grandstand committee approves the stands in January, the bird proof ers will be called in. Tickets for these spotless seats may be purchased at the Inaug-ural Ticket Distribution Center at 921 17th St., N.W., at prices ranging from $3 to $25. As for the birds they will have to take their chances like all other non-payin- g spectators. Committee Hopes To Discourage Birds Along Parade Route .... The inaugural grandstand com-mittee hopes to be able to dis-courage all those birds who are expecting to get free seats for the inaugural parade. In this case, the birds are real, and the seats are the limbs of trees which overhang the grand stands along the parade route. The grandstand committee has let a $5500 contract to American Building Cleaning Contractors to bird proof 44 trees between 10th Street and 17th Street on the route that the 1961 inaugural parade will follow. Bird proofing the trees will involve having the limbs sprayed with Roost-No-Mor- e, a material which is highly repulsive to birds.
