Holly Robinson, Larry Jensen and Tracy White met Governor Bangerter and Lt. Governor Oveson, then spent the entire day serving various legislators as messengers. The page program, in its fourth year, is part of the overall Voter Awareness Program. As an outgrowth of the boy's and girl's state program, it is designed to guide youth towards becoming responsible future voters. Their day at the legislature included a private meeting with Governor Norm Bangerter, along from across the with 32 other state. He told them "The best way you can begin your political involvement is to join a political party--- " adding jokingly "even if it is the Democratic party." also visited with Lt. The Governor W.

All who are interested are invited to attend this meeting which will begin at 10 a.m. at the Sevier County Courthouse in Richfield. Dr. John Aldridge of New Mexico State University will present information on the results of research of using preservatives in baling hay that is higher in moisture than normal. These products may prove useful in baling hay in rainy weather. The New Mexico trials showed good results in baling hay two days earlier with hay about 20 percent moisture. Dr. E. H. Jensen of the University of Nevada at Reno will discuss the effects of grazing alfalfa. Some other subjects of the meeting will be the use of new types of electric fence that can be used to keep deer out of haystacks and fencing around circular sprinklers. A registration fee of $5.00 will be charged to cover travel cost of speakers. Various companies will have exhibits and information on new alfalfa varieties. "What it easy is seldom excellent."

The bill, which passed on the first reading in both the House and Senate, was essentially the same request turned down by the 1984 Utah Legislature. Under the new fee structure, a combination license will cost $35, and adult fishing license $18. The adult smaM game license will cost $12. Other wildlife licenses saw smaller increases. The new fees become law April 29, 60 days after the end of the legislative session. Until then, sportsmen may purchase 1985 hunting and fishing licenses at the old price. Pending action of the Utah Wildlife Board, the infamous trout stamp will almost certainly be done away with effective April 29, allowing anglers to fish for any species with only a basic fishing license. The Division is unique because almost 80 percent of its revenue comes from license fees. Virtually all other state government agencies are funded by legislative appropriation from the General Fund. Only about 10 percent of the Division's budget come from the General Fund. Hunters and anglers, those who actively use and consume the wildlife resource, must pay most of the bill for their sport. Many Utah anglers are trying their luck at ice fishing for the first time this winter since statewide d fishing began January 1. But reports from many waters around the state indicate that some fishermen are not observing the basic rules of good sportsmanship, including leaving a clean area behind when the day is done. The rules are: Carry out anything you take in. Clean the area when you leave, even if it means cleaning up someone else's trash. Take extra plastic bags with you to carry out the residue left from cleaning fish. Be a good sport--th- e alternative could be a citation for littering. If you've got the winter "blahs" the Division of Wildlife Resources has the answer--- a in northern Utah. There you will see some of the most enchanting wildlife species found in the state, the wildlife animals. Among these are nearly 600 watchable and colorful species found in Utah including eagles and hawks and perhaps the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the world (clocked at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour in a dive.)

Morgan, County Supervisor. The debt adjustment program is part of the Farm Credit Initiatives announced by President Reagan last September. It is designed to help banks and other lenders reduce the mount of loan payments down to a 'evel farmers can afford. The program allows FmHA to guarantee a portion of farm loans owed to banks and other lenders under certain conditions. FmHA agrees to make up part of the loss to the lender if the borrower defaults. This government guarantee makes it possible for the lenders to stay with their farm borrowers longer than they could otherwise. The new regulations will help banks and other lenders cooperate Ham Dinner Tonight!

Previously, they were required to write off a minimum of ten percent of the principal of the loan. When the change becomes effective, they can reduce the loan through interest or principal or a combination of both. Under another part of the President's Farm Credit Initiatives, FmHA is reviewing loans of it's borrowers. So far, in Beaver County, John A. Morgan said FmHA has been able to adjust loans for over 30 farmers. FmHA County Supervisors will be getting additional staff help from other U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies to review FmHA loans. FmHA also has selected expert credit teams that will assist farm borrowers if the bank they have loans with has failed. In addition, the agency is cooperating with state and other agricultural agencies and groups to establish a "hot line" telephone service in some areas. The Agriculture Department is working closely with other federal and Suzanne Stoker of Beaver took first place in the District Spelling Bee. (See story Page 6) - citizens.

"We have hired an experienced race director who is still putting the exact course together, he said, "but it promises to be a challenge. We are mapping the route to make it a test of the driver's ability, not the machine's power or speed. Thus, there are a few long straight-awayand lots of turns and bumps." The classes for the race will be expert, amateur, novice, over 40. and powder puff. Classification will be made according to the experience of the driver, and not the size of the snowmobile. A safety check will be conducted before the race: brakes, kill switches, mud flaps, skis, motors, belt guards, and other items will be checked for safety. Also, all riders will be required to w'ear helmets, goggles, and full snowmobile A will construction.
