Show Page Ten The Springville Herald January 25, 1973 Legislator Don Strong reports on work of current session The Legislative Session is how into the second week. The most explosive and controversial issue confronting the House of Representatives involves the Equal Rights Amendment. At the present time the Amendment has received its hearing before the State, Federal and Military Affairs Committee and should come up for vote on Wednesday afternoon. I have received many letters and telephone calls regarding the Amendment both pro and con. The outcome of the Amendment is undecided at this point although there appears to be a trend in opposition to the Amendment due in large part to the efforts of concerned citizens voicing their apprehensions about the effects passage of the bill would have. As a matter of information, I have been assigned to three standing committees and the Transport at ion Appropriat ion NEW LOOK IX FIELD ARTILLERY Capt. Roberta D.

And, it is a mistaken notion that acne needs no treatment because it will eventually go away by itself. Neglected acne can result in skin pitting, blotching, and other disfiguring scars. Emotionally it can leave a devastating scar. Fortunately, the list of possible treatments for acne is especially good. Besides the common sense rules of a healthy diet and good everyday skin hygiene, there are many specific medicines that a physician can prescribe and which we regularly stock. Prompt treatment is im-porta im-porta nt so don't wait for acne to go away. YOU OR YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US when you need a delivery. We will deliver promptly without extra charge.

Each department tries very hard to educate the various Legislator to the needs and goals of their program. Also there are many special interest groups who effectively inform the Legislators of their positions as they are effected by the new bills being presented. The House has really gotten, off to a fast start this year. We have been meeting each morning mor-ning at 8:00 for appropriations committee work and usually conclude the days activity after 6:00 each evening after the general sessions and the Standing Stan-ding Committee work. After 6:00 and Saturdays have been devoted to excursions, tours, ball games and dinners. For example, last Saturday my family and I were invited to tour Hardware Ranch for a sleigh ride through the Elk herd, a tour of the Water Resource Laboratory in Logan Canyon, a tour of Utah State University complete with a Smorgasbord dinner and the BYU-Utah State basketball game. I will be looking forward to reporting on future Legislative activities. Don R. Strong Fish food prices show sharp price increase Higher than normal water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near Peru and poor harvest of necessary vegetable proteins in the United States have been blamed for a sharp increase in fish food prices for hatcheries this year. Contracts completed by the Division of Wildlife Resources for the next six-month supply of trout feed show an overall price increase of about 35 percent. Fisheries biologist Rod Stone claims the increase ranges from 50 percent for small fish feed to 27 percent on foods fed to larger fish. "We are now paying about $18 for each 100 pounds of feed for small fish and $10 for each 100 pounds of feed for catchable size which are over 7 inches long," stated Stone. The biologist explained the Peruvian fishing industry supplies approximately 90 percent per-cent of the world's fish protein meal. Higher ocean temperatures tem-peratures have made it very difficult for fishermen to catch the fish which supply the protein. Mr. Stone added that many sources in the United States think an additional cause of high prices is a severe over-exploitation over-exploitation of the ocean fish because of the demands from the world market. Division fisheries biologists feel prices will remain high, and possibly go higher, in the course of the next two years until conditions change.

But free time isn't free. For one thing, there are more people every year. So, just for these people to live as well as we do today will require re-quire more power every year.

There, Bonds in the specified amounts will be issued promptly. promp-tly. "This timely opportunity," Mr. Jacobs continued, "permits individuals to buy Bonds in the amounts desired, in a manner convenient for both the purchaser pur-chaser and the bank.
