A MS Forest grouse number, blues and ruffs, are up this remains that they are chukars year, creatures of habit and at least predictable in a general way. The experienced angler and hugter has learned the habits of the wildlife he seeks when afield and this weighs heavily in favor of filling the creel or bag. The first time outing for the inexperienced, young or older, is best taken with someone who has played the game for years. Next best is for the new comer is to get direction and guidance from son.?orie with experience. about the ' same, no change in the huns, pheasants and quail a little more abundant in some section, turkeys up some, dand the cottontail cycle on the l't .illlillillili . upswing. Our reports say that the waterfowl are already on the manges in great numbers and all predictions call for a comparable hunt to last year which was one of our best in a long time. There is nothing to indicate that the average 90,000 deer will not be taken this season or that the holders of either sex elk permits will not have a 40 per cent or better chance to harvest their game. With the increased number of open bull elk permit holders this year we'd guess the success for this hunt will drop to something like fifteen percent. Again, the greatest success will come to those who know their hunting area and have the time to stay out the whole hunt if need be to fill up. Whether one can stay the whole season or not, good planning now will allow time to go afield in your hunting area of choice shortly before the season opens. You can't "stake an animal or the birds The only radical changes in wildlife habits come with drastic changes in their habitat. Like drought effec-iin- g the fishing waters or a major fire over a game range. In other words, baring natural disasters, one can look for much the same experience and field success in the same given water or area year after year. , It follows that if one knows particular fishing or hunting area he will have a better chance of success if he returns there. This, of cours- -, provided that he has been successful in the past. If, for whatever the reasons, the success has dropped, then knowledge of wildlife habits gained in one area will in a general way apply in another. Beyond the foregoing, one should plan to spend every opportunity possible afield, for as with anything else the effort and time expended at anything is most often in direct proportion to what we get out of it. As this is applied to the once in a lifetime hunts, or even the elk hunt, it seems folly to your scribbler to even anticipate such an outing unless one could spend the full season. Even applied to the easier deer hunt, most of the big racks and the filled up well a mm ROBERT SMOOT won the Utah Soap Box Derby race and nished high In the national competition.

Harold admitted that he had to lose a coupU. pounds himself to maintain h.s eligibility. According to Harold, there are several secrets to building a fast car. The car must be shaped so that there is a minimal amount of wind resistence. The suspension should be such that bumps will not slow the machine, and the steering mechanism must allow for perfectly straight steering. As Harold explained, "you have got to take the shortest route down the hill." Except for maybe losing to a girl, Harold and his parents can listening to instructions from his dad, Harold built a soap box car. The speedy vehicle was made from wood with the seams g'.ued together. It was laminated, and measured 80 inches in length, and was only 13 inches wide.
