Kohl moves out of the active management of Kohls Department Store in Duchesne. . . Stepping into the general management on a full scale basis is Donald Bench, a man who has operated as manager for a number of years, and who became president of the corporation. A HOST OF FRIENDS join me in wishing Mr. Kohl and his wife many years of pleasure and happiness in the long rest they have earned. . . We also congratulate him on the fine organization he has built up, and the service rendered during those forty years since his large store in Duchesne had its first humble beginning. TO DON BENCH ALSO GOES a word of encouragement and compliment in stepping into the very large shoes of his predecessor. His many years of training under Mr. Kohl makes him a very able successor, and one who no doubt will keep up the fine traditions of service and quality merchandise the company has enjoyed over the years. Duchesne and the entire area it serves, is fortunate in having such an outstanding business enterprise in its vicinity. i I HONOR OF STATE-WID- E DISTINCTION has come this week to two students at Union High School. One in the field of homemaking and the other in athletics. . . Were all mighty proud of the achievements of Miss Earlene Warburton, who has been declared Utah winner in a Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow contest in which 500 Utah girls competed. Because of her outstanding paper she wrote on a given subject in connection with Homemaking, and which was judged tops in the state, Earlene will receive a $1500 scholarship, and a chance to com- pete in a national contest, the winner of which will receive $5000 to be applied on a scholarship to aid in a college educa-- 1 tion. . . Not only do we offer congratulations to Eearlene, but we present her instructor, Mrs. Myrtle Lambert, a large bowl of orchids for her part, which was a great amount, in the success of one of her students. THE OTHER STUDENT THAT comes in for a word of congratulations is Richard (Packy) Fenn, member of Unions basketball team the past three years, who has been chosen on teams. . . His selection as one of the five best two players in High School basketball in Utah, is a definite tribute to a fine athlete, and one we all share in. . . It is also a compliment to Packys coach, his school, and to the entire Uintah Basin. I compliment Packy on his achievement. NOTHING WILL BE GAINED from the honor that has come to these two fine students and citizens of the Uintah Basin, unless they let the honor become a motivating force to achieve and accomplish greater things along the road of life. . . Their skills give them a definite advantage over other students, and if they will magnify their opportunities for good, then we all will benefit from their achievement SO, BEST OF LUCK to Earlene Warburton in your national venture, and to Packy Fenn for taking advantage of the God given skills. Each is an opportunity that will make a college education possible, and a chance to travel along the road to success and happiness. . all-sta- te . v E v They called General Jackson Old Hickory because, among other things, he had survived smallpox, tuberculosis, malaria, rheumatism, dysentery and a bullet under his heart and yet lived to the age of 78 and was going strong up to the last , f 1 ' If Congressmen had to pay their per capita share of the national debt out of their own pockets, theyd go slower about , increasing it A woman in England has had 22 children, all single in 25 years of marriage.

Call ROOSEVELT, Office Phone S35 t Do you like to fish for those battling native trout, those lunker Browns, or acrobatic Rainbows? Maybe you prefer trying to lure a bass to strike a plug. How about some wall-eye- d pike? Would you like to take the kids fishing for bluegill? If you dont like to fish, theres one of the largest deer herds of the state within your area. If your interest is birds, pheasants, ducks, geese, dove, and now, the chukkar partridge are all to be had in short distnaces from home. In case you say yes to any one of the above, you are needed as a participating member of the local sports organization newly after a short rest. Quite likely you have some gripes about the club or do not agree with policies of the State Fish and Game Department. Your opinions may be useful if you will present them before an organized group, where they can bear the weight of numbers. Curbstone philosophy seems to have little effect these days. It has been the practice of the local club, the Duchesne Fish and Game Assn, to try to get as many fish planted in our waters as is possible. We obtain these fish from federal hatcheries through application. We assist in the planting of fish from the state hatcheries. The number of fish planted, the size, and where they were planted is not kept secret. This information is free to anyone. Each load of fish has a certain area in which it must be planted, and is so marked before it is loaded at the hatchery. When the load is ready, the driver calls the local club and asks if they can assist him in making the delivery. Members take time of from their jobs and meet these trucks at various parts of the county to lend a hand in the planting. Any help for planting is gratefully accepted, even boys are welcome, .and especially someone whq knows the area where the fish are to be planted. If youd like to help, leave your name with Troy Bailey or Lorin Mitchell. These boys are the chairmen of this committee this year. Ralph Halstead spent a lot of time and money last year with no help, other than the truck driver, to plant 16 loads of federal fish and several loads of state fish. Next time you see Ralph, let him know his efforts are appreciated. Without the applications filled out by local clubs and sent through the state office and on to the federal office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we would have been without those federal fish 21,600 pounds of legals; 14 loads in 1953 and 11 loads in 1952. Through the efforts of the club we have received bass, bluegill and wall-ey- e pike for planting in Lake Boreham. They are ready to be caught as soon as the season opens. Also we received the first plant of chukkar partridge in the state. They are through Nine Mile Canyon and along the Duchesne River and will be hunted in another two years says Cliff Grenhalgh of the State Game Department We .requested, and got a dove shooting season. For as long as most of us can remember, we of this area have raised the doves to let them fly south so Arizona, New Mexico and Texas could shoot them. Soon it will be time to take a deer census so that next falls hunting recommendations can be made. Help is needed for that Each early spring a certain area is covered by as many men as is possible to get and the deer are counted fro horseback. Then a little later an aerial count is made by airplane, in a different area. The club has' for several years collected deer higes donated by hunters and used the money to buy seed to pass out to anyone that would take it to plant on the ranges for better grazing for deer and domestic stock. Those plantings show up, too. We have staked conservation seminars for four consecutive years. Experts from all over the state have been invited to come to Duchesne and help us on problems we have had or to instruct about the terrible destruction of war in France. A former Duchesne girl was released from a prison camp in Manila, as word 'was received that Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Roebuck were among the prisoners released recently from a Japan prison camp in Manila. F.O. Keith G. Case, of Mt Emmons, is assigned to Bergstrom Field. Two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Casper, Wayne and Ken, meet in England.

T mdn In GMC Reminds By Robert S. Murdock County Agricultural Agent Of Paris Models Under The Capitol Dome By Prepare Now For Alfalfa Weevil Control What French dress designers have done for the world of fashions, GMC is doing for the world of wheels. Although it may seem incongruous to compare dress stylists with a truck manufacturing company, the finished product of both has much in common. Take a high fashion Parisian gown. Its beauty lies in its originality, stylish lines and dramatic blend of colors. This formula might well apply to the 1955 trucks built by GMC Truck & Coach division. They are smart, modernistically styled and colorful. The comparison can be carried further. Without overtaxing the the shiny chrome imagination, grille and streamlined front end of the new trucks could be compared with the neckline ornamentation of a freshly styled gown. This front Speedline Styled bomb-typ- e end, with bumper guards, gives the GMCs handsome passenger car styling. The famed GMC emblem, like a sparkling necklace, rests on a Airscoop" located a few inches above the grille-worThe body style has the same sweeping lines as a beautiful evening gown. Fenders flow back smoothly and blend into the door. The doors conceal the running boards and protect them from snow and slush. A lower cowl and hood, enhanced by a louvered ventilating opening for a new-typ- e system, carry out the low silhoue ette theme. Cap-likpeaks over the headlights and windshield join forward-tilte- d door pillars to give the trucks a jaunty air. That this years line of GMCs compares favorably with a Paris is borne out even fur"original ther by the lower, wider, yet visroomier cabs. Picture-windoibility is provided by a large panoramic windshield, and an optiond al rear window eliminates all blind spots. Although the cab is lower, interior headroom is greater due to a new root design, which includes, internal among other advances, wiring that permits a mechanic to install a radio speaker or corner cab lights in a matter of minutes. An Aero-vieinstrument cluster, positioned so the driver can see every dial clearly through the upper half of the three-spok- e steering wheel, adds another luxurious note.

Spray with either heptachlor or dieldrin at that. time to destroy adult weevils before their eggs are laid. This spray treatment gives effective, low-coalfalfa weevil control, according to the research of USDA Entomologist F. V. Lieberman. Alfalfa sprayers should be cleaned and put in good working order before spraying time arrives. Farmers should arrange immediately for needed dieldrin or heptachlor if they have not already done so. Only four ounces per acre of actual chemical, applying d either insecticide as a spray, is needed to control alfalfa weevils.

One of the most marked things about .the legislature was the minimum number of really explosive issues. Another was the dearth of bills requiring financing of education and yet, in the final analyfor school funds sis, search brought about all the tax changes. But there were no demands from the school people for more wages, more services, expanding of the minimum school fund. The educational deficit came about because of the normal growth and the reluctance of legislators to cut down from present school services. There was considerable legislation which will have its effect in the rural areas of the state. Yet, none of this legislation was of the sweeping variety. Naturally, reapportionment is of great interest to the rural areas. And the changes made by the Legislature will come closer to affecting most of the people than anything else. Another important measure could have been the bill which revised the motor fuel tax laws all around and in the process gave farmers a tax rebate on fuel purchased solely for off- - Summer School Applications Due Before May O Y Applications for admission to Brigham Young University Summer School must be made by May 8, according to announcement by Dr. Ariel S.

Changes in the water statutes of the state were important But costly they effected only certain areas. Ratification of the Bear River Compact is very important to northern Utah. About the most water bill was the one which came up with some technical revisions in the filing of water rights and that one will take some study to understand. On the whole, the farm people of Utah came out of the Legislature quite well. They got no new restrictions except a sure increase in property tax. A few bills of considerable interest were passed such as the one setting up quality bulls to be allowed on summer range and another making uniform the authority of state agencies to acquire and dispose of land. In the final analysis, most Utahns were helped a little and maybe hurt a little by the 31st Legislature. All in all, it was a good session. There are several ways for legislative bodies to make a record. They can do nothing. They can revise practically everything about state government Or, they can take care of most of the pressing problems and not change present statutes too much.

Probably the foremost, most talked about and (its being copied in nearly all the Duchesne Western states now club was instigator of it) was the law forum in which attorney general, district attorney and their assistants, county attorney, justices of the peace, game wardens, head wardens, special warden and sports club leaders met here at Duchesne Airport where question of law enforcement in all phases of fishing and hunting were discussed. Where men can meet and talk over problems there is seldom room for misunderstanding. It is somewhat different from faultwhat a few finders would have you believe. Pet peeves are usually exploded as being groundless when one seeks the truth about the situation. Organized protests on features that are not right or suggestions on improvement can get faster and more definite action than individual gripes and complaints could ever do. Weight of numbers can do much to improve the status of our whole nation in the field of conservation and wildlife. g memThe many bers of your sports organization over the past years have received no reward for their efforts except to know that they are contributing to a conservation program.
