CARY PETERSON Representative Cary Peterson (R) District 71 views the first week of the 40th legislative sessions ss interesting and productive. Over 100 bills have been introduced to the House already and some of these have been passed and sent to the Senate for ratification. Of particular Interest to the people of this area was House BUI No. 6, concerning nonresdlent deer licenses. Mr. Peterson commented: Many of the hunters In our area have been Increasingly concerned about the decrease In our deer herd. Over the years the number of hunters, both resident and nonresident has been Increasing and the number of deer has been decreasing. The wUdllfe of this state is one of our great nato-ur- al resources and I, with others, feel that measures must be taken now to see that this resource Is not lost. This bill If ratified by the Senate wUl restrict the number of nonresident deer licenses to be sold to 20,000 while at the same time Increasing the fee for such license from $50 to $75. Although the number of nonresidentspurchasing licenses wUl go down, the revenue derived, which goes to the Fish and Came Dept., wUl be approximately th same because of the increased fee. I believe this bUl Is one good step towards the protection of our Utah deer." REPORTS Mr. Peterson Is the sponsor another bUl not yet on the floor cf the House relatLng to the lowering of property tax. More will be said of this and other bills at a later date. Interested voters who would like their opinions heard In regards to the legislation before the House of Representatives are urged to write Representative Peterson co The Utah State Houseof Representatives, Salt Lake City, Utah.

SUPPORT FOR FOREST ROAD ASKED Citizens from East Millard are urged to express support for the completion ot the Chalk Creek Road that la scheduled for work this summer. The Utah National Guard Corps of Engineer will come to FUlmore tor summer training on work on this project. In addition to the road, they have special forces that will do pioneer work on campgrounds, trails and small bridges. The entire area of the Forest can benefit from these projects. The Mayor of Fill more and Ihe mayors of the surrounding towns, as well as the County Commissioners, organizations and Individuals have worked countless hours amassing material and projects for this summer porgram. Some questions as to local support have been expressed. Area residents are urged to contact the Regional Forester tn Richfield either by phone or by letter expressing support. Na-tlo- It Is an opportunity that we can not afford to pass up. So call or write today to either the Regional Forester or to the local Forest Office here In $ tilroore. EXTENSION AGENT '4 INTERESTING NOTES DOCTORS . . . On JOSEPHA Surrounding us Is Beaver who Is getting a fine young doctor. Richfield has some new ones and a new clinic with two young doctors has been established In Sallna. Even way out and far away Hanksvllle Is getting up graded medical facilities. We have a fine, well staffed But Dollars by the bucket-fu- ll pour out of this area every day. hosptlaL We feel that If the hospital would board appoint one member and give him a little travel money and set his goal of finding a young doctor for this area. It would be but a short time until Fillmore would have this most urgent need filled The opportunity Is here. Its a good place to live and to raise a family, and there Is no reason that someone In the medical could really see profession when pointed out thst there Is a need and there Is an opportunity In his field In this area. Out of respect to many, we silenced the stories cm the hospital some weeks ago. However with young doctors moving In and around us, and noting the critical needs we tsce, we felt that a final effort by this paper should be made. And this Is lt, you can help by expressing your support to the local hospital Doard.

Feeding uf this har-moto livestock was legally terminated January 1, 1973 and use of it after this date is considered a criminal act. Nearly all cattle feeders are well aware of the ban on DES, but we have been asked to give It publicity Just In case there are stut those who do not know about lt. 1 hope no one tn our area Is still using DES, consequences could be severe. ol When approaching Fillmore from the west on if you continue on east at the railroad tracks and were traveling to con this route from nect with most of the FUlmore business district would be missed. We feel that at the railroad tracks the state (or the City) should place a large sign calling for a Business loop route that would route you across to 2nd South and Into Fillmore. Some year back, the County Commission agreed to the 2nd South route. If FUlmore City would consent to the closure of old Depot Street road. It Is time now to have lt properly signed and ss soon ss the first spring (haw hits, the County should get busy with 2nd South.
