Final arrangements were made for the smorges-' bord to be held at the new church. The Department of Fish and Game Director today warned hunters that all big game tagging regulations regu-lations would once again be rigorously enforced. The warning came with the opening day of 1963 general deer hunting season sea-son a little more than a week away. The Bureau of Land Management transferred 840 more acres to Utah in the Cane Creek potash fields in Grand County. 20 Years Ago Final decision on the date of presentation of their home talent show "On Stage, America," was made at the regular meeting of the members of the Moab Lions Club. Figures can be uncanny sometimes, and such was the case with the Moab Elementary school increase in-crease in enrollment. In 1933 the enrollment in this school was 173. In the current count of students, stu-dents, the enrollment was 346, exactly 173 greater than 20 years before, a 100 increase. The owner of this item had high hopes when he purchased it, but the competition com-petition was too keen with thousands of out-of-state visitors, so he offered the 1953 model No. 84621 big game tag at just half price.

Warner camp F-20 had been abandoned for the winter, and all of the men stationed there moved to Moab the last of the week. 60 Years Ago Word was received that Perry Clark's well on the south side of the San Juan river, attained a depth of 300 feet. It was , expected that the Good-ridge Good-ridge oil sand would be encountered within the next twenty days, or at a depth of approximately 700 feet.

Because no reply could be obtained from several telegrams that were sent to Governor Spry asking for the date on which he and party expected to reach Moab, no arrangements arrange-ments could be made for their entertainment. A deputy game warden from around Provo had been prowling around for several days in a "strenuous "stren-uous though as yet futile" effort to convict someone of hunting without a license.
