TO THE EDITOR Dear Mr and Mrs. Riding: Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter I wrote to the Utah Fish and Game Commission. Iwould like very much to see the letter printed in the Chronicle. My main reason for wanting this is that it might stimulate others to write to the Commission giving their views regarding re-garding the things I have written about. I wish the Chronicle would see fit to get Dick Morrison back into its fold. I didn't always agree with what Dick wrote but at least he stimulated one's mind to the point where you violently disagreed with him or after investigaton you were forced to agree with much he wrote about. Please get him back. Sincerely George Q. Terry Dear Sirs: Enclosed you will find the information infor-mation you requested of me and also a "bit of information to you of my own. I was born and raised in Utah, having left there in 1942 for California. Cali-fornia. I have hunted deer in Utah nearly every year since leaving there and have noticed over the years the depletion and scarceness of deer with each succeding year. It seems the Game Department is not satisfied with a pre-season bow and arrow hunt, pre-season hunt with rifle, the slaughter of does and fawns, (few bucks to slaughter), slaugh-ter), you open a season during the summer to your own hunters, (you know as well as I the places your hunters hunt during the summer, so don't ask me), to accomplish something, that could well be left to the Utah sportsman and those sportsmen from out of state who are obliged to pay $-10.00, (forty dollars), for the dubious privilege of searching, most of the time in vain, for even a glimpse of a lowly fawn, much less a stately buck as it was in the days of yore before be-fore the Game Department put the "green buck" in front of the "forest buck". I hope the Game Department gets wise to what is happening to the once fine game herds. Don't ask what should be done, you are supposed to know, at least you get paid for doing a job which I think you are capable of doing if you have the courage to stand up to the so called "bow and arrow sportsman", the "cattle and sheepmen", sheep-men", and some men in your own department. By that I don't mean that you should let the deer overrun over-run the range, but at least give them a sporting chance until the deer season opens. I am enclosing an article from the True Magazine regarding bow and arrow hunters which should give you some food for thought. You know the Indians threw away their bows and arrows as soon as they could get hold of a rifle. . Please, no more post season hunting for anyone including the Game Department! Yours Truly George Q. Terry Dear Folks: We have been transferred again from Reno to here. We are about fourteen miles from Visalia up in the Canyon leading to Sequoia National Park. Raleigh's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin from Chandler, Ariz., are visiting us awhile. Also living here in Visalia, Calif., are Mr. and Mrs. Don Sampson and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sampson, sons of the George Sampsons of South Tract. We are all fine and send our best wishes to you for a prosperous New Year. Sincerely The Raleigh J. Franklin Family P. S. Please say Hi to Athena for us Dear Mr. and Mrs. Riding: Once again I wish to express my appreciation for the valuable assistance as-sistance you have given your postmaster post-master and the entire Postal Service Ser-vice through your cooperation with our "Mail Early and Often" for Christmas campaign. In the 1959 Christmas mailing season the Post Office Department handled another record breaking volume of mail. I am happy to report that it was delivered promptly and efficiently. That was accomplished through the splendid efforts of our postal employees, but it would not have been possible if the public had not mailed a substantial part of the Christmas day, thU9 spreading the heavy load over, a comparatively long period of time. Your assistance in calling the public's attention to the importance of early mailings was a genuine service to us and thus to the entire American mailing public. Sincerely Yours W. D. Brewer Regional Operations Director LOOK IN YOUR ATTIC OR THE BASEMENT YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS WORTHLESS WORTH-LESS TO YOU, BUT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. A 50c CLASSIFIED MAY KILL 2 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE .... i yjy y y b :!5i a This is the third of our series of answers to some of the important questions of modern education. We hope that this has created public interest in our school. 1. What do you consider the main duties of the school? Ted Bishop: ..The main duties of the school are to teach the students basic skills to enable them to meet life in the world in which they live. To better equip them to earn a livelihood and give them an appreciation ap-preciation of the arts. Jack Neilsen: The main duties of the school cere to teach the students stu-dents good habits and morals. They should be taught to have proper regard for their neighbor and country and in general, be a good citizen. The parents teach them as they wish at home. Many people think that scholastic ability is all that counts in education. I think j that it is far better to be able to apply what you learn to your own life and be on average or below average student than to be a straight "A" student and make a failure of everything else. Mrs. Frank Lyman: Teach the children in phases that will qualify quali-fy them to meet situations in life such as earning a livelihood, importance im-portance of getting along with peo ple, patriotism. It should help jn teaching high standards of living. The school should teach the program pro-gram outlined by the state. Thelma W. Dutson: I think the main duties of the high school are: 1. Provide environment conducive to learning. 2, Provide qualified teachers. 3. Adequate physical facilities. fa-cilities. 2. To what extent do you think the school is responsible for the standards of the students? Ted Bishop: The school certainly certain-ly is responsible for the standards of the students while they are attending at-tending school or any school function func-tion or activity. As to what these standards shall be should be a decision de-cision foT the faculty and the student stu-dent counciL Jack Neilsen: A school should do all in its power to help build the standards and morals of the students, but the main respons&il-ty respons&il-ty is on the parents. The parents should give their children the idea that the teacher is to be obeyed and always back the teacher in what he is doing. Mrs. Frank Lyman: The schools are by no means completely re-sponsable, re-sponsable, but standards of the school should be maintained. The school should maintain standards that are high and make good citizens. citi-zens. Thelma W. Dutson: I think the school is responsible for the standard stan-dard of tht itudenti to the ex tent that they provide faculty leadership lead-ership that demonstrates high quality qua-lity standards, and that high standards stan-dards are taught in a class room. 3. What do you think the most important characteristics a teacher teach-er can have, Ted Bishop: I believe the most important characteristic a teacher can have is the ability to inspire students to do their best. Next would be the ability to make the subjects they teach have a living practical purpose in life. Next a wholesome, friendly attitude toward to-ward the students. Jack Neilsen: Above all, I think a teacher should practice what he preaches. He should have the standards stan-dards he teaches. He should be an example to his students and a credit to the community. The students stu-dents should be able to idealize him. Mrs. Frank Lyman: Enthusias tic, create interest in subject material, ma-terial, good example, understand students, ability to teach, patience, good discipline. Thelma W. Dutson: I think the most important characteristics of a teacher are: 1. Understanding 2. Tolerance 3. Leadership 4. Scholarship Scholar-ship 5. Enthusiasm for work 6. High morals. 4. How far do you think that a teacher should go in punishing his students? Ted Bishop: In answer to this question I would say first that the ideal teacher should have very little lit-tle occasion to resort to physical punishment. The students would know the requirements and the results, re-sults, if they were not complied with. The teacher should avoid making rash accusations and statements state-ments that place them in positions where punishments are forthcoming. forthcom-ing. But I do believe a teacher has the right to enforce proper behavior beha-vior standards at all times and to see that the rules and standards of the school are met. Jack Neilsen: In punishing a student a teacher should not be brutal but should go as far as he needs to gain discipline. However, a teacher shouldn't use snap judgment judg-ment in his punishment. Frank Lyman: A student should be punished according to the ..wrong ..committed. ..Extreme cases some physical punishment permissible. If an unruly student reaches the point where he distracts dis-tracts other members of the class, then he should be punished so ether eth-er students can get most out of subject matter. Thelma W. Dutson: I don't believe be-lieve physical punishment is warranted; war-ranted; understanding and guidance guid-ance will usually take care of problems. pro-blems. 5. In your opinion, how can the parents best help a child take advantage ad-vantage of educational opportunities? opportu-nities? Ted Bishop: Parents should show a geniune interest in the child's school situation, his classes, his assignments, and attend the school activities. Parents should have a constructive rather than a critical attitude toward the school. Parents should assist the school by pointing out to the child why the school requires the things it does, and that each assignment is to help the child's progression. Jack Neilsen: Parents should see that their children do their homework. They should never let them have so many nights out that they do not study or get their homework. Mrs. Frank Lyman: Provide Educational Ed-ucational material at home. Make the children sense their own per sonal worth so they can reach maximum max-imum development with the qualifications quali-fications they have. The parents should take interest in school, studies, stu-dies, teachers, etc; and know what the child is doing and should be doing. They could stress the importance im-portance of receiving education for earning a livelihood. Thelma W. Dutson: I believe parents can best help the children, to take advantage of educational teachers, encouraging the children, and by giving assistance when necessary. ne-cessary. Parents should be familar with, and interested in what is going go-ing on at schooL 6. ..How much school time and ef-i fort should be devoted to learning? To activity? ) Ted Bishop: I believe 100 of school time should be devoted to learning. If the activities of the school do not teach the students something, then they should be dispenseed with. I believe that a great deal of the extra-curricular activities better equip students to mingle with society and take their place in the world. Jack Neilsen: I don't believe in catching up with the Russians all of a sudden. It seems to be a trend to hold longer school years. I don't believe in it. I think there should be a happy medium. There is a limit to what any human being be-ing can absorb. Some people can be! a real success without schooling. Mrs. Frank Lyman: Depends on the activity. I n the process of learning, activity so often is a part of doing both at the same time. The program, such that it is for the students, should be given opportunities op-portunities to use ability in leadership, lead-ership, etc. as activity. Thelma W. Dutson: I believe more time should be given to learning than to activity. There should be enough cctivitiei to make school enjoyable. By Kenneth Lovell December 30, 1959 Delta's Rabbits put the stopper to a tough Alumni squad 50-40 Wednesday night in a holiday game. It was a tough game all the way, but Delta finaly clinched it as LeRay Jackson scored 16 points, I.aDell Hegman, 11, and Russell Greathouse, 8, to lead the scoring. The Alumni scored only three points in the first quarter and those three were all foul shots. Delta did the same in the third quarter as they scored only four points. Throughout the season Delta thus far has been able to start out well. They have, for the most part, been able to run up a pretty good score irt the first quarter or two that has been hard to top. We will have to work on the latter part of the game, however. It seems that every game finds the Rabbits having to. quell a rival uprising. On the other hand, though, it makes for a tense exciting finish to a good game. January 2, 1960 Delta 14 13 (27) 20 8 55 Richfield 6 5 (11) 6 7 24 In a game at Richfield, that was practically no contest, Delta played a game of substitution and still won easily 55-24. This was Delta's seventh straight win and it leads us to wonder whether we have been playing "patsies" or do we really have a championship team this year. We shall soon know, as league play is only a week away. Saturday night, nearly every Delta Del-ta player got into the game. It was good practice anyway. Leading Scorers: LeRay Jackson 13 LaDell Hegman 8 Ken Christensen 7 Roger Davis 6 Things To Come Basketball Friday night, Jan. 8, llbh Oil tv The Utah Symphony Orchestra, with Maestro Maurice Abravanel conducting, will present four "pops" concerts in Utah early in January, giving just about everyone in the state a chancs to hear the state symphony orchestra.

Free tickets will be avaible at all Utoco Service Stations for the asking ask-ing after December 15. Last season three "pops" concerts con-certs were staged in Salt Lake City, Logan and Provo. This year the program will be expanded to include in-clude Ogden as a result of many, many requests. Dates for the free "Pops" concerts con-certs are announced by Harold L. Gregory, Symphony manager, as follows: Salt Lake City, at the Tab- I Wrestling Wednesday, Jan. 13, i bernacle, on Tuesday, January 5; Provo, at the Brigham Younr Uni versity fieldhouse, on Wednesday, January 6; Ogden, at the Tabernacle, Taber-nacle, on Monday, January 11; and at Logan, Utah State University fieldhouse, Tuesday, January 12.
