MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager VIEWPOINT CLIFF MEMMOTT, Week-En- d Cfisually Observing . . . This year, 1955, will marke the fiftieth anniversary of the establishmen of the Forest Service, which is a part of the Department of Agriculture. On February 1, 1905, the Forst Service was created in its present form in the Department of Agriculture through the merging of the earlier Bureau of Forestry and the forestry division of the General Land Office. Although forestry received the attention of the Federal Government as early as 1876, it was not until the present Forest Service came into being that a rounded national policy for forestry was developed and work e began to go forward with objectives to maintain and increase the productivity of forest lands everywhere in the country. Progress in forestry in the Uunited States during the half century has been great. Working together, - private and public agencies have effectively demonstrated the values of organized protection against fires, insects, and disease, and of good management and wise use of the Nations forest resource. Especially significant have been the advances in research, the development of the National Forests, the expansion in activities of the State forestry departments, the development of forestry education, and the big advances in the practice of forestry by the forest industries. GREATEST GOOD OF THE GREATEST NUMBER, was an established slogan set up fifty years ago, and has pretty much remained unchanged during the fifty years of continual progress. The National forest are dedicated to the proposition that conservation is wise. The policy under which the public forests were to be administered was stated in Secretary of Agriculture James Wilsons letter of Feb. 1, 1905 to the Chief Forlong-rang- HOW THE REAPPORTIONMENT WILL AFFECT THE BASIN The Utah State Senate Tuesday passed a compromise legislative reapportionment bill designed to balance an urban controlled house against a rural controlled senate of 25 members and sent it to the house. Eighteen senators voted for; two against, and three were absent. THE BILL, WHICH IS KNOWN AS S. B. NO. 1, must have 'a two-thirmajority of the house in order for it to be passed. If the bill is passed and eventually becomes law, there would be a change effected in Duchesne and Uintah counties. Uintah County would be joined with Dagget and one senator would be elected to represent these two counties. The other change divides Uintah and Duchesne and will join Duchesne County with Wasatch County, forming another senatorial district. Each county will elect one representative, unless the proposed bill is amended considerably by the lower house, which is rather unlikely.

The score was 48 to 30 in Roosevelts favor at the end of the game. Mackey, playing guard for the Rough Riders, was acclaimed the star of the game, for his fast floor work and consistent playing throughout the game. Outstanding on the Duchesne team was Murdock, substituting at forward. In addition to their winning the game, the Roosevelt team hung up addition laurels for itself in its foul pitching record, having scored 16 out of a possible 19. Duchesne made 8 out of 15. 12-l- -- Extension Service Plants 70,374 Trees In 24 Years -- -- E. A. Call Service REFRIGERATION 8 By coming through with a win over Duchesne High last Friday, the Cougars from Union remain atop the Uintah Division with 3 wins and no losses. While this game was in progress at Duchesne, the Utes from Uintah High invaded the floor of the Altamont Longhorns and came away with a 49-2- 9 victory over Coach Beardens team. It was the first win for Uintah and the first loss for Altamont. A scrapping little team from Duchesne threw several scares into league-leadin- g Union as they kept pecking away at the few point lead the Cougars maintained most of the way. In about the middle of the final period, the Eagles came within three points of tieing up the game. The accurate foul pitching of Jimmy Grant, who hit 13 out of 16, and Acel Muse, kept the Eagles in the ball game. The Cougars were not playing up to par as they missed numerous shots from the field. First Half Close ' The Longhorns- really made a game out of it the first half as they matched point for point with the visiting Utes, with the half4 for Uintime score standing tah. However, the Utes gradually pulled away from Altamont in the second half to win with a margin. Valoy Eaton with 16 was the top scorer, with Terry Anderson getting 11. For the Longhorns, David Hislop with 10 and Max Brotherson with 9 were the leading scorers. Unions "B team won another easy game from the baby Eagles at Duchesne. The final score was 60-3kids Coach Arslanians were just too much for a small and inexperienced Duchesne team. They have now won three against no losses in league play. Coach Beardens B Longhorns came through with a thrilling and win over the Papooses from Vernal. . The final for the Altamont score was 37-3-5 team.

This action was taken by the Fish and Game Commission during a recent special two-da- y meeting. Later opening and earlier closure for some waters, creel limits, baits and lures, and other regulations for the 1955 angling season will be scheduled during quarterly Commission meetings in April. The May 28 opening date is aptwo weeks earlier proximately y than usual and gives a over-a- ll season as compared to the 122 days of 1954. In setting the earlier date. Commission members recognized the three day holiday weekend beginning at that time. They noted that tiie state hatcheries planting program would not be so far advanced as is usual on the opening day, but felt that any lack in creel return would be more than offset by the opportunity to go afield over the holiday during the earlier season. Other actions included approval of the departments chukar partridge program for 1955. This calls for a total production of 20,000 eggs from brood stocks at the Price and Springville game farms. Hunting privileges of five individuals were revoked for a period of five years for involvement in field accidents during 1954.

A nation that has watched intently the rapid strides of our National Forest Service during the last half century, is pleased to pause on the fiftieth birthday, which will be next Tuesday, and pay tribute to the progress and development of our natural resources which have been so ably directed by the thousands of men in the broad forest service department.' We should not overlook the fine service rendered by the supervisors, rangers and other employees of the Forest Service that have functioned so efficiently in our local forests. They have contributed tremendously to the welfare of those who make up our communities in the great conservation program. In the near future this newspaper hopes to bring its readers brief stories of the men who have served in the local forestry assignments over the past half century. Editor Golden Anniversary Of The U.

Listened to and approved a financial report covering the departments operation during 1954. Deer Hunt Prepared A total of 4,122 deer were taken on extra doe tags purchased by 8,320 hunters during the recent fall seasons. These and other figures are shown in a final report from Department of Fish and Game headquarters covering the five herd areas where such tags were authorized by the Utah Board of Big Game Control. The Board scheduled the unlimited sale of extra doe tags for the Antimony, Monroe, Salina, Last and La-Shunting units as a move to alleviate the critical deer-rang- e problem in those areas. Permits were sold at the eight checking stations strategically located to serve the five units. Successful hunters were required to have the extra doe tag validated before leaving the area. A further breadkdown of the figures shows that residents held 5,183 of these tags, 3,137. Hunter success for all units averaged 49.5. Winter herd counts and spring range surveys will show whether the increased harvest of these units has aided the critical winter range condition, according to game managers.

Thanks For The Resin Record Miss Glenda Harris writes the Record office the following letter: I look forward to receiving my paper every Monday. It is interesting to read the news of former friends. For the past year I have been enrolled as a student at the Long Beach State College, taking elementary teachers training. I might add that the Duchesne paper has several avid readers at school. Dr. Ross Hardy, of the Science Dept, asks every week for my copy, since he is a former teacher at Carbon, Weber and Dixie Colleges. From there it is passed on to Dr. Wilson, who is head of the Dept of Geography. His interest is the Echo Park Project, and the oil development in Eastern Utah. They both comment on the wonderful interest the paper has had in the school activities from Duchesne and its surrounding communities. Of special inKnow terest are the articles Your Schools. I would like to extend my best wishes to the people at home, and should anyone come to Long Beach, I would be happy to have them call on me.
