Show deer taken during 1956 and for the continuing high hunter success ratio. Records show the best hunter distribution over the state was achieved during the past year. This is credited mainly to the diversity of hunts and seasons set by the Board of Big Game Control to attract hunters into the problem areas. New access roads, built into previously inaccessible areas, also added to the better hunter distribution and harvest.

These facts bear out the direct ratio between accident experience andthe amount of congestion and enforcement activity," Ashby J. Badger, vice president of Traffic of the Utah Safety Council, stated. Failure to keep pace with todays requirements for better controls in critical factors such as increased enforcement personnel, selective enforcement, adequate training, proper engineering controls, and similar deficiencies must be identified as one of the principal reasons for these increases, Mr. Badger said. Until such deficiencies at both state and local levels are overcome, Utah will continue to experience mounting increases in traffic deaths and injurie-3- , the Council spokesman added.

Of this number, 9,027 did not hunt, leaving 133,676 regular license holders afield during the seasons. Of the total kill, 94,870 deer were taken on the regular license. The balance, or 27,715, were harvested on special, or extra antlerless tags, to bring the final total to the above 122,585 animals.

Using history as a reference, Mr. Simpson earlier cited the family fariy system as one of Americas strongest weapons against Communism, and stressed the need for action to keep the small farmer on his land. He said countries where the land is owned by only a few persons provide fertile fields for growth of Communism. Today, more than 100,000 farm families a year are leaving their land and coming to the city. The UFU head expressed his belief that loss of these farmers Is one of Americas greatest problems.
