DESERET NEWS - , By REED MADSEN Deseret News Staff Writer Sevier County unanimous agreement has been reached between representatives of Utah's sportsmen and Utahs livestockmen for a change in trespass posting of private and state lands W. Lloyd Johnson, Aurora, president of the Utah Cattlemens Association, said it marks the first time representatives of the groups have really communicated to work out problems affecting the various groups. The agreement will also call for issuance of cards to sportsmen who have been given permission by land owners to hunt properties that are post AURORA, A ed against trespass. This will work to the advantage of the landowner, the sportsmen and the conservation officers, Johnson said. It was felt that the notrespass sign system has been unworkable and ve.y unsatisfactory in its effect, causing turmoil, misunderstanding, and general ill feelings, Johnson added. The regulations will appeal in the 1973 fishing and hunting proclamations. The plan will be tried for a period of time and, if found successful, legislative action will be sought. If it doesn't work out w e w ill try to cooperatively find another solution, Johnson said. The agreement came following a series of meetings held in early January, spearheaded by Johnson. Others concurring agreement are: with the Ray Staley, president, Utah W'oolgrowers Association; president, Utah Allie Burkey, Bowmans Association; Roy Holman, president, Farmers Union; Gordon Howe, director, Utah Wildlife and Outdoor Recreation Federation; Elmo Hamilton, president, Utah Farm Bureau; and John E. Phelps, director, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The agreement would legala yellow painted post, tree, rock or any other permanent type marker properly positioned in the property ly recogmze boundary line in lieu of, or in addition to, the heretofore unsatisfactory no trespass sign system. The permanent object would automatically indicate that the area enclosed by said markers is no trespass. The permits, which a sports man could carry in his pocket will be printed by the Depart menl of Wildlife Resources Permit forms would be avail able to landowners for distri bution and also to organized sportsmens groups who own property or, as a group, have secured permission to hunt or fish on private or state lands that are posted. Lloyd said a resolution TRESPASS. Page He feared the public might misconstrue the story and reflect unfairly upon Salt Lake City Mayor E.J. Gam, who has invited the International Olympic Committee to stage the 1976 Winter Olympics in Utah. Readers might get the unfair impression that the Olympic bid was prompted by Snowbird, Johnson to boost its expansion plans. The master plan is being modified, by Enteleki architects and the modifications were described in the arteile, which was written over the weekend after interviews with Enteleki Ray spokesman Kingston. Most of the details contained in the interviews had not been discussed previously with the press. Johnson also said that Snowbird will use only about 20 percent of their buildable land on buildings even though most of the resorts 857 acres are not smitable for construction. SECTION B ap-Se- e B-- 5 WSC Chief Tells Key To Training Good Employes improve, Dr. Bishop said. He cited the true story of an IBX secretary in Chicago who was a poor typist (and didnt seem to care). Her boss seized the opportunity to compliment her after she relayed him a telephone message. "Because you gave me this message, I called this guy and made this sale, and brought in a large amount of money for the company, and here's a box of chocolates, the boss told her. Immediately, the secre tarys performance improved, and six months later with such reinforcements continuing, she had become an excellent secretary, Dr. Bishop said. before a joint Speaking the meeting of three groups Purchasing Managers Association, Salt Lake Advertising Club and the Executives of Utah Dr. P'sh-otold another true story of a football player in graduate school in Michigan whose academic w as performance substandard. The student was assigned to analyze a large hospital and find an aspect of its administration that could be improved. The students professor, Dr. George Odiorne (who is now dean of the college of business at the University cf Utah), suggested that he track down a bed sheet. g p Dr. Bishop said the student's analysis revealed that the hospitals laundry operation was costing too much, and he found that laundry workers were pilfering sheets and pil low cases home in by carrying them their lunch sacks. Hospital administrators had assumed the attrition of sheets was due to normal wear. In looking for a solution, the student noticed in the yellow pages of the telephone book an advertisement for disposable sheets, which were cheaper and made the hospitals entire laundry operation unnecessary. As a result ot his report, the student was offered the position of chief administrator of the hospital. He declined the position, Dr. Bishop said. Dr. Bishop said employers and employes should discuss together the latiers work You have a performance. perception of what that man or woman should be doing, but the employe has his or her own perception.
