Show 9 2 ututa, By STEVE WILLIAMS Jackie Williams, Milford Red Cross Blood Bank chairman, says "Thanks a lot" to all who assited during the recent visit of the Bloodmobile to Milford, and a thanks also to the donors. Milford came close to quotathis time, and 65 pints of live-saving blood were drawn. Quota was 75. Kathy Killam, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Killam, is unhappy. She lost her pet tan female cocker spaniel. The missing miss-ing canine answers to the name of "Lady," and is so friendly that Kathy is afraid someone else may have fallen in love with Lady and "adopted" her. Anyone knowing the whereabouts where-abouts of Lady can make Kathy happy again by returning the cute little doggie. And Barbara Mayer, our hardworking hard-working South Milford correspondent, correspon-dent, is a little unhappy, too. She's on an eight-party line out in Mil-ford's Mil-ford's farming area, and with all those folks on one line, it's difficult diffi-cult to gather the news. Barbara (and The News staff) will appreciate South Milford residents res-idents phoning her (DU 7-2616) when they've had visitors, or a birthday party, or plan a trip. Bolton says folks around Milford Mil-ford should think twice these day:..' before getting into an argument with Mayor Ray Kizer. Seems ever since the Legislature started talking about a "strong mayor" city government, Ray's been doing pushups every morning morn-ing and every night. Over ait Beaver Hizzonner Mar-tell, Mar-tell, who is also city manager, h-is been building his biceps wheeling the heavy city trucks and graders, helping lay water mains, and acting act-ing more like a hired hand than a mayor or manager. If needed city improvements don't get taken care of it won't be MarteU's fault. Couple weeks ago we nominated Rep. Wallace Peterson of Salt Lake for the honor of introducing the "silliest bill" of the session when he wanted to put a skull and cross bones on all cigarets sold in Utah, but now he's gotta move over. HB 238, introduced by Rep. Hodgson, would "permit private landowners to shorten the hunting season on their property." That's a honey when we already al-ready have too much "private" regulation of hunting areas, Rep. Hodgson wants to let them set their own hunting dates. Too many land owners now post their lands and allow only personal person-al friends to shoot the birds that take cover in their fields. We don't believe in "personal privilege" hunting, particularly in an area where a special charge is made for the privilege of hunting and the money so raised goes to a project benefiting the land owners. Lands should either be posted "No Hunting to Anyone" or open to all during the hunting season. "We can understand and certainly certain-ly sympathize with the farmer who has been the victim of poor sports and irresponsible gunbearers, but a better approach would be development devel-opment of harmonious spoitsman-land spoitsman-land owner relations by Fish and Game clubs, with an educational program on both sides of the fence, and strict regulation by the clubs, with possible expulsion of members who violate courtesy or safety rules. Our definition of an ideal legislature: legis-lature: One that spends more time repealing inane and unnecessary laws than it does passing new ones. Can't quite figure that Mahoney guy. He chided the junketing legislators legis-lators about riding buses to the Glen Canyon dam site, but promised prom-ised not to introduce a bill calling for an appropriation to build a Union Pacific spur to the damsite if each legislator would "do something", some-thing", about the Beaver County drought when they stop at Beaver Sunday morning. Every Thursday morning we get a phone call from our Beaver County Representative, bringing us up to date on latest happenings in the legislature. |
