Either you are a happy, enthusiastic painter or you become one of those reluctant decorators who opens a can of paint only when you have exhausted the last of your excuses. Spring, it seems, has become the time of year when many winter-weary citizens oast a harsh glance at the landscape and see only the inside and outside out-side painting to be done. These hardware store buffs look past the fishermen and boaters putting put-ting their gear in shape for the opening of fishing, past the kids carrying tennis raquets and even the ladies with new spring wardrobes. The compulsive painters see only wire brushes and sand paper, stirring sticks and paint pans, brushes and rollers. And walls, ceilings, doors and windows, win-dows, porches and railings, stairways and trim that needs a new coat of paint. One of my friends is married flaw PFD Regulations Reminder The United States Coast Guard would like to remind all boaters that this coming boating season will be the first complete one in which the new Personal Flotation Device (PFD) regulations regula-tions have been in effect. The regulations require boaters with vessels ifl feet or over in length, to have one Coast Guard approved wearable (PFD) for each person on board. In addition, one approved ap-proved throwable device must be aboard. For boats less than 16 feet in length and all canoes and kayaks, either an approved wearable or throwable (PFD) for each person will be acceptable accepta-ble to meet federal requirements. require-ments. The Coast Guard approves three types of wearable devices; life preservers, buoyant buo-yant vests, and special purpose devices. Only two throwable devices are now approved, buoyant buo-yant cushions, and ring buoys. HUNTERS' CONTRIBUTIONS MOUNT Here is the latest accounting of the American hunter's financial finan-cial support for conservation: -Hunters' license fees- are currently providing state game departments with over $107 million mil-lion a year for conservation of both game and non-game species; and going as far back as 1923 in some states, hunting license revenue has raised $1.8 billion for conservation. -Hunters are now contributing contribut-ing over $47 million a year for conservation through the federal feder-al excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition which, since 1937, has raised over $595 million. mil-lion. -Hunters presently contribute almost $ii minion. 2 year through their duck stamp purchases, pur-chases, and duck stamp revenue has provided $153 million in total for waterfowl conservation since 1934. -In less than 50 years, these hunters have provided the massive mas-sive total of $2.5 billion for conservation con-servation and wildlife development. develop-ment.

This fella has never learned that cleaning up is part of the painting paint-ing project. He paints eridiess passes with brush and roller, dropping masking tape, dribbles cf paint and tools as he moves happily from one project to another.' an-other.' He is so happy about spreading layer upon layer of paint, I might add, that he whistles whis-tles as he paints. My friend, you might already have guessed, does not whistle as she goes behind the painter wiping up paint spills, cleaning up masking tape and gathering up drop cloths. She has bought as many items as possible in no-paint, no-mar surfaces and hopes within another six or eight years, to have as many unpaiutable surfaces as possible. possi-ble. Inside and out. Choosing paint colors is a whole new area of confrontation, confronta-tion, too. I've seen many a marriage mar-riage hit the shoals over an unfortunate choice of color of paint by one or the other partner. There are few who can be objective about something so basic as paint. I suppose this is why there are so few cooperative coopera-tive painting projects. Tom Sawyer was almost the last person per-son to select a paint color admired ad-mired by the general public. And if you will remember, he stuck to a basic white. Currently, our house is reeking reek-ing with paint. Paint not of my choosing, but I suppose it is only fair that those, who are going to ip'ty said paint should get to pick it. This is especially so when the painter is going to have to live In the room so painted for an awfully long time. At least until we get desperate enough to paint and decorate again. My last inspection trip downstairs down-stairs was not comforting. I was expecting plain, subtle orchid walls. It got them. And more! "What in the world do you call those arrows and labels," I queried? "That's the newest thing, Mom," replied the wielder of the passionate purple paint brush. "Graphics!" I'll admit I was moved to make some graphic observations. observa-tions. "You loved it in your "Ladies Home Journal"; she commented wryly. "Surely," I replied. "That was when ihe paint job was in New York and I was still in Utah." Maybe it will grow on me when the carpet is laid and the drapes are hung. Meanwhile, I am moderately alarmed by catches of conversation about Prple arrows in the hall and a rainbow on the bathroom wall. Could she be becoming a compulsive com-pulsive painter?

It's current size, as listed by the Census Bureau, is 1,014 square miles. This compares with the 1,998 square miles reported in 1980. What caused the change? Was it due to conquest, condemnation condemna-tion or annexation? Or did it just appear out of thin air? None of those. As is the case in other parts of the country, the new figures represent an adjust-ment adjust-ment to compensate for physical shifting of rivers and other bodies of water and for previous errors in measurement. measure-ment. Similar ups and downs were noted in a great many communities. commun-ities. Throughout the nation, it was found, there was a drop in the last decade from a land area of -3,548,974 square miles to 3,536,855, representing a loss of 12,119 square miles. On the other hand, the nation's inland waterways gained 12,030 square miles in the period, which means that the country as a whole had a net loss of 89 square miles in the 10 years. In part, it is attributed to land erosion caused by shifts in the size of streams, lakes and other waterways. Much of it, however, is due to a refinement in the method of computing areas. For many years, the size of counties was determined from existing county coun-ty maps. These maps generally carried their boundary lines to the center of bordering rivers, May Bert Ban Ted KiriQslon in?
