In 1930, along about July, The Times-New- s again became my place of employment, and from that day until this Ive carried a key to the front door. How many lines of news type Ive set over the years must be an astronomical amount, and if one multiplied the line count by the character count per line, it would sound like the national debt. Ive seen the newspaper industry change from setting type by hand, to the mechanized era of the linotype, to the computer era of phototypesetting. I've seen the advent of the greater use of photographs in newspaper production as well as the many other changes which make todays newspaper production a new and different art than that of yesteryear. Along about 1937 a system became operative which takes in all who earn whether as or as employees, and upon reaching age 65 this week, I am looking to that system for support in the time ahead which has been allocated to me to spend in this sphere of action. The years have been good to me Ive missed being in on only a very few issues in that forty-si- x and a half years. Ive missed some six or eight because of illness and a couple or three because I elected to attend national conventions. In these years, the paper missed the mail a few times, but it never failed to come out. Sometimes it came out as a weakly" paper, rather than a weekly paper. Much water has flowed down Salt Creek since that day in '30, and many changes have been made in our communities. As I take retirement this weekend, our wishes are that East Juab County will see a great and constant period of growth; and that the new publishers of The Tiies-Nh- s Vance P. and Allan R. Gibson will enjoy the friendship and patronage of the good people of the area which I have enjoyed throughout the years. Thanks kindly, to you, and you, and you.

Sheriff Robert L. Painter said that at times there have been several groups per week ces hunting . rabbits, coyotes, gates and machinery throughout the county. He further explained that some of the hunt-- ' ing groups were from Juab County. The majority of the groups, however, were ... from outside Juab County. Sheriff Painter said that the State Department of Wildlife Resources at one time had issued permits to hunt at night on state and federal land, but because of problems incident to night hunting, no permits have been recently issued. What we need Painter pointed out, is an ordinance which will prohibit the discharging of firearms between sundown and sunup. County Attorney Milton T. Harmon further pointed out that an ordinance directly forbidding night hunting would be overruled by state statutes. For this reason, the commission has been reluctant to pass the necessary ordinance. Members of the Juab County Sheriffs Posse patrolled the hunting areas 24 hours a day for a period of a year in an effort to protect livestock and machinery, Harmon said.
