Hearn philosophizes, "The thing about chess that intrigues in-trigues me, and ended up by being just boring, is that there is nothing remotely like it in life." It's easy to see the good man knew nothing about the game. Anyone who does knows there is hardly a facet of chess, that doesn't have a parallel in life. Happiness, for instance, and despair too. "I pity the man who knows nothing about chess," Siegbert Tarrasch noted a long time ago, "for chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy." But not all men. For H. G. Wells there was addiction, but no happiness. No chessplayer sleeps well, he complained. Especially when, at a crucial moment in a game, "you see with more than daylight clearness that it was the rook That's First Security State Bank of Springville.

But more important, they work for you,. Helping with savings, loans, financial planning. The bank provides the resources. The people that work there-maybe even your next-door-neighbor-provide the heart. That's quite a combination. Stop by soon; it'll make a believer out of you.

But one cynic complained that chessplayers and actors have another characteristic in common: neither are real people. Does chess resemble history? his-tory? The problem at the 1950 Olympiad in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, Yu-goslavia, was what to do about France which insisted in-sisted on breaking the unwritten unwrit-ten rules by being the first to play a woman as a team member, Madame Chaude de Silans. (She didn't set any worlds on fire, but then no one goes to the Folies Bergere to eat the popcorn.) Chess is famous for the ingenious in-genious ways of giving your opponent a nervous breakdown. break-down. Before the invention of the chess clock, tournament games of 10 or 12 hours duration dura-tion were not uncommon.

"Oh," said Paulsen surprised, sur-prised, "is it my move?" Such fidelity to chess is not universal, as the divorce courts can testify, but there are exceptions. England's William Hartston and his wife, Jana, are both master players, devoted to chess and to each other. But America's international master, William Addison of San Francisco, is another story. For years he was a free-wheeling bachelor who played everywhere at any time. Suddenly he married, mar-ried, took a job, and disappeared disap-peared from the chess scene. "Someone balled him at home and his wife answered the phone," an ex-colleague revealed. "As soon as she heard the word 'chess,' she slammed the receiver down. My god!" he whispered hoarsely. Chess strikes no such discordant dis-cordant notes everywhere.

MARY KNITTUE 489.7097 Division performance rated 'g The overall performance of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources deserves a "good rating", according to a recent . survey of 1,100 Utahns taken by the Bureau of Government and Opinion Research at Utah State University in Logan. The survey, taken for the Division, showed people with no active interest or concern in the actions and policies of the Division gave it a higher performance per-formance rating than did those exhibiting an active interest. Demographically, the survey showed women gave the Division a higher performance rating than men; persons in upper income groups rated the Division higher than persons in lower income groups; blue collar workers did not assess the Division's performance as highly as did those in other occupation oc-cupation subgroups; and residents in the Cache-Box Elder County areas gave the Division the lowest rating. Division personnel received an exceptionally high rating from Utahns in the survey. Residents were asked, "On a scale from plus 2 to minus 2 (with plus 2 as high) would you say personnel were courteous, fair, helpful, professional?" Ratings were as follows: courteous, 1.7; fair, 1.7; helpful, 1.6; and professional, 1.5. Some 600 nonresidents were also asked to rate the overall performance of the Division. They were placed in three groups big game, small game and fishing license holders and were interviewed by telephone accordingly. The performance score given was "very good" according to the Bureau. The Division's overall performance was rated f jr highest by fishermen and lowest by big game hunters; however, the score given by all three categories was at least a "Good rating." Both residents and nonresidents were asked what they liked least and what they liked most about the management of fish and game in Utah. Both questions received a high proportion of "no comment" com-ment" responses. Among Utahns, fishing policies and regulations . received more compliments and fewer complaints than did hunting policies and regulations. Consistent with the responses to a previously mentioned question, many favorable comments and very few unfavorable un-favorable ones were made about personnel. ' Good fishing, hunting, management and policies recieved most commendation , from nonresidents. However, the most negative responses from nonresidents concerned management and policies.
