Gifts are presented to those we love and care for: family, relatives, sweethearts, friends. But with all the giving, giv-ing, people across the State of Utah are missing a good chance to give a gift to one of things they love most - Utah's wildlife. Every sportsman knows th money he spends on hunting and fishing licenses goes to support management and study of wildlife. Those dollars do a lot more than supply recreation activities. The money mon-ey also supports research, range rehabilitation, land acquisition ac-quisition and more. There is another segment of Utah's wildlife management program that works just as hard to sustain both the number numb-er and quality of Utah's animal ani-mal populations. It is the Research and Development Fund (R&D Fund). This fund is the perfect opportunity for every Utahn to give his support sup-port to the overall wildlife effort. ef-fort. Sportsmen can extend their contributions and non-license non-license buyers can become involved in-volved in supporting the effort, too. In 1971 the legislature authorized auth-orized the Division of Wildlife Resources to accept donations of value from interested organizations or-ganizations or from individuals. indivi-duals. Donation of land, water, access rights or contributions of money were authorized and, consequently, have been accepted ac-cepted and utilized by the R-D R-D Fund. In the last live years, monies mon-ies from the R&D Fund have been used to study the habitat needs and population survey of Utah's desert tortoise. The rare and solitary spotted bat was studied and found to have a fairly large population in Utah. R&D monies supported a recent study of the kit fox and determined that the little fox's range was much farther east in Utah than previously believed. Funds are also used to support the raptor rehabilitation rehabili-tation program. Al Heggen, chief of Non-game Non-game and Research, is responsible respon-sible for the administration of the R&D Fund. Heggen said that more contributions in the future would allow research to be conducted on many of the more uncommon species. "Everything we can learn about wildlife gives us a better understanding of the intricacies intrica-cies of the interrelationships in our ecosystems to make us better wildlife managers," Heggen said. Past contributions have included in-cluded donations of a quarter from small children, to a donation dona-tion of water from Utah Powr and Light that was valued at $11,000 annually. A less than $15 contribution gives one a "contributor" status, while an annual $15 donation yields a "sustaining member" status in the R&D Fund. You or your family can become a "life member" for a one-time donation dona-tion of $100, or you can become an "honorary founder" for $1,000 or more. Contributions may be mailed to the Research and Development Fund, Division of Wildlife Resources, 1596 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84116. All contributions go directly dir-ectly to study or development of the resources. During the past five years the Veterans Administration has opened four nursing homes for a total of 540 beds at a cost of $10.3 million. Three nursing home care projects under construction by the Veterans Administration will add 300 beds by the end of 1977. !pENTST "Did I touch a nerve?' The other day I was looking at our Christmas tree that the good wife had so tenderly decorated, and at the stockings stock-ings hanging on the mantelpiece, mantel-piece, and with my curious mind I wondered what it was all about. Not Christmas itself, for that message of the birth of Jesus is as fresh today as it ever was. but those customs that surround it. To satisfy myself I did a little studying and came up with some possible possi-ble answers. "Why do we hang stockings by the fireplace?" A reliable source says that St. Nicholas took pity on a man who was too poor to provide a dowry for his daughters and dropped gold pieces into their stockings that were hung by the fire to dry. But a footnote for mean little lit-tle kids. In Italy good children find gifts in their shoes, while the bad ones get ashes. In Germany, Santa Claus carries a full sack of candy and cookies for good youngsters, young-sters, and an empty potato sack for the others. "Why do we sing Christmas carols?" The word "carol" means to dance in a ring. Back in the 13th century, St. Francis of Assisi arranged a manger scene which used real people and animals. It was his way of bringing the spirit of Christmas Christ-mas to his villagers, most of whom couldn't read. When they arrived for the ceremony St. Francis led them in joyous celebration around the manger, mang-er, and started the ritual of "caroling." "What is the origin of the Christmas tree?" Thousands of years before Christ was born, some primitive primi-tive people regarded the evergreen ever-green as a symbol of long life and immortality. German tribesmen brought them into their huts to please the "spirits" "spir-its" which they thought inhabited inha-bited the trees. When they converted to Christianity, they transferred their mystic feelings for the trees to their new religion. "Why do we put lights on Christmas trees?" Some say the custom was started by Martin Luther. As he walked home one night before Christmas, the beauty of the clear sky decorated by stars made him fel very ,'dlpse to God. Whence reached home, he put candles on a little evergreen tree to help create the same experience ft ii) Starts nrTL F Mali) at Center ftiqericai) fork for his children. "Why do we give gifts?" Myth has it that it began with the three wise men, who brought gifts to the infant Christ. But long before Christ was born, the Romans had a season of merrymaking in December called Saturnalid, during which they decorated their homes and temples with green boughs and flowers and exchanged gifts. The custom was carried over into the celebration cele-bration of Christmas, but with the significance that Christ was God's great gift to mankind. man-kind. "Why do we hang up mistletoe?" mistle-toe?" In the language of ancient Britons, the word meant "All Heal," They believed it had the magic power to cure disease, dis-ease, neutralize poisons, and protect against witchcraft. If a young couple sealed the relationship rela-tionship with a kiss under the mistletoe, they could expect good luck for the rest of their lives. With usage, the sprig became exclusively associated with the act of kissing. Did you know that the Russians Rus-sians also invented Christmas? Christ-mas? This is their version. "Once there was a poor married mar-ried couple who had nowhere to stay. They asked rich people peo-ple for shelter, but these capitalists capi-talists turned them away. Their baby was born in a stable. They covered him with rags and laid him in a manger. Some shepherds, who had come from Russia, brought the baby some gifts. When they asked the shepherds how they found the stable, they explained they had followed a red star in the sky. The Russian shepherds told the baby's father, who was unemployed at the time, that poverty and misery were unknown unk-nown in Russia. They gave the family furs to keep warm and together they set out on the road to a Soviet Paradise. Nw, I can't verify the truth of these legends. I am like old Will Rogers. "AH I know is what I read in the newspapers." As a boy my favorite carol went like this. "Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in my old hat. If you don't have a penny, a half-penny will do; if you don't have a half-penny, then God bless you." I hope at Christmas we will F Next Monday at 10 a.ip.
