Department records show this annual opening of the trout fishing season draws more sportsmen to the outdoors than any other event of the year, with upwards of 180,-00- 0 expected to "head for the streams and lakes this coming Saturday. With this mass migration in mind, department director Harold S. Crane has asked that every angler going fishing conduct himself like a true sportsman. .

Oh, yes, the City Fathers have really worked a lot to get it into shape, but I'm thinking of the many hours of work Mrs. Whornham did before the actual work in the cemetery could be done; the hours she spent at the city office and the cemetery with her committee, collecting names, and getting them connected with living relatives who might be interested in paying for perpetual care for the graves of loved ones. This, so that they might get in their fees so the City Fathers could go ahead and make our lovely Mountain View Cemetery as we saw it on Memorial Day, 1960, with its wide expanse of lawn, all the beautiful flowers, trees, and flags those beautiful flas fling in the breeze, making the picture beautifully complete!

This area was homesteaded by the Parkinsons approximately 100 years ago, when they came to Utah from San Bernardino, Calif., on call of Brigham Young. As part of the program given in connection with the reunion, Yvonne Parkinson reviewed the accomplishments of the Parkinson Family Genealogical Committee, and Ethel Woolsey and other members of the family told of incidents in the lives of their grandfather and grandmother. A pilgrimage was made to what is left of the "old home", where only the old fireplace is standing. Photographs were taken of the area for inclusion in a family history which is being compiled. A list of those attending the reunion, as furnished The Press by the family, follows: Fay Messinger, wife, and three children, Boise, Idaho; John Parkinson, wife, and two children; Josephine Shepherd and son, Vernell Parkinson, wife, and three children, and Sharon Parkinson, all of Salt Lake City; Maurice LeFevere, Logan; Walt Messinger and wife, Cedar City; George C.

Dr. Beckstrand has been appointed District Extension Director for Southwestern Utah, with headquarters in Richfield. He is one of four such district directors who will serve the state. David and Scott, as they come In summary, Director Crane emphasizes, "Fishing is a game of fun one of the age-ol- d recreational pursuits of man afield. It we all practice courtesy, safety, and respect for both properly and the individual, the return from our fishing trips will he just as enjoyable as our leave-takinIf we know and abide by the laws, and make courtesy and respect our creed, angling can be a wonderful pastime." The program of stocking trout from the state's 12 hatcheries is on schedule, which means that streams and lakes normally planted with these larger trout will be stocked and ready for the opening week-en- d of fishing. Heaviest fishing pressure and most consistent creel returns arc expected to come from the old lakes and "standby" streams. The department said this will prove increasingly so as the season progresses under the present serious low water conditions common to most drainages. These same low water conditions should also mean a banner opening season, since ne fish will be confined to less living space and are more accessible to the angler.
