Deer range is a problem ft ft ft After a couple of days of deer range rides in the north part of the county this week it was quite evident that there are still deer left in the area but it was also quite evident that the condition of the range was an- other matter. Lack of moisture last summer, and in several of the years past, has caused browse to grow less than normal with the result that there is very little food to sustain a big herd. In many areas the sage was also noted as dead or dying and this is also prime feed for deer. Grass, however, which is prime cattle food, is now taking over in those areas that are devoid of sage. Water, however, which cattle must have in close proximity to their grazing areas, is totally lacking. It all boils down to a very perplexing problem. Economically, the deer hunting in San Juan County is one of the most stimulating seasons for many of the area businesses. Keeping the special permit numbers high would stimulate this business and possibly the range problem would come back into line. But on the other hand the deer herd might be decimated to a point where no special permits would be available, hunters would not bring in their finances and the county would lose a very lucrative business. It all boils down to a calculated risk balance. Agencies making the range studies will come up with their recommendations after taking all factors into consideration, but their task is no easy one. Weather or any number of other factors could seriously affect findings and such imbalance of nature is entirely unpredictable. Many persons feel that the deer hunting should be limited to only regular licenses while others feel that unlimited special permits should be allowed. Neither course would appeal to anyone interested enough to go along on the annual range study rides and actually participate in and thoughtfully examine the facts and findings. You soon learn that resolving the problems is not so easy and clear cut and that the men responsible for the outcome of the recommendations are faced with a delemma which demands their utmost attention and study. out-of-sta- Come on out to the Were open at 7, te old Beeline, at we close 9.

Letter to the Editor Moab, Utah April 19, 1965 San Juan Record Monticello, Utah Dear Editor: For the past several months I have been more than delighted to read about and see pictures of my students who have won honors for superior achievement in Speech, Foreign Language, and athletics. I recalled that when these students were in the third grade, I still carried on the Show and Tell period where the child is encouraged to speak before the class about the subject that interests him. Several times a month on a Friday afternoon we had a class program where every child in the room furnished one number even if it was only a short poem or nursery rhyme. My pupils knew all the verses of The Star Spangled Banner by the end of the third grade. For a few minutes a day, if time permitted, I taught the children my native language, Spanish, which is my major besides English and Elementary Education. We read, memorized, and illustrated poems by Robert Louis Stevenson and other great authors. I tried to awake the interest of each pupil in everything around him an interest that would carry on when they got into the higher grades. We climaxed the year with a program containing songs in Spanish, such as God Bless America, which I translated for them, and other popular Spanish songs. I told them perhaps they might later care to learn more Spanish etc. The rewards and satisfaction to a teacher, as well as to par-ents, is in the achievements of: the children. Often a teacher gets discouraged wondering if the students are learning or or if it is all in vain not until the testing takes place! Congratulatiosns to Mr. Morris Nelson, to the Speech instructor, to the coaches, and to all the teachers of Monticello for their efforts in Continuing the education of my former elementary pupils. Sincerely yours, up on the shores of Powell., ft some ft ft O Despite reports to the contrary, there are still deer in San Juan County, even after the very high hunter success last season.
