THANKSGIVING 1971 The Pilgrim Fathers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony first celebrated Thanksgiving in November, 1621 to thank God for the bountiful harvest. Undergoing the rigors of the hostile wilderness, the small band of men and women carved out a future by the sweat of their brows and a few crude tools. With the help and assistance of some friendly Indians, new foods and fruits found their way to the festive board. The successful fruit of their labor were a tribute to their productivity and they, in turn, shared what they had produced with their Indian neighbors. It is this same driving force which has motivated this country in the years since the first Thanksgiving. It has enabled us to become the most presperous and the most generous nation in the world. Through increased productivity we can continue to prosper and to share our bountiful harvest with those less fortunate. OLD MAN WINTER No calendar is needed to tel1 us that Winter is just around the corner. As the sun swings lower toward the shortest day of the year and Winter makes its entrance on December 22, thoughts will turn to activities of the new season-win- ter sports, Christmas Holidays and finally a New Year. While many people like the placid continuity of eternal summer and follow the sun as it moves south, others find stimulation in the changing seasons. Like the land itself, most men are renewed by change. Nature in her wisdom has arranged for the changing seasons because with change there is growth. Unless there was Winter, there could be no no renewal. Thus, Winter is as essential to man as Spring, to all other life. It prepares the earth for next year's growth. So let's settle in and enjoy the company of Old Man Winter.

Robert D. Nielson, BLM state director for Utah, summarized information received from the bureaus district offices in the state as to procedures for the public to follow to obtain free personal Christmas trees. He emphasized however that the effort and expense involved in travelling to the designated sites may entail considerable more than selecting a tree from commercial lots. pinyon-pin- e trees are Only available from the BLM sites. Trees should be cut flush with the ground. Road conditions at this time of the year usually are poor in BLM administered areas. Some hiking will be necessary to reach available trees. Four-whedrive vehicles or pickup trucks should be used rather than sedans, and tire chains and shovels should be taken in case they may be needed. Each family will be issued a tag for only one tree and tags will not be issued to persons for other families.

NEffSj Lake Powell received its yearly dose of Rainbow Trout this past week. Steve Gloss, fishery biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources reports that 500,000 of the fingerling rainbow were distributed throughout Wah-wea- p Bay. This was accomplished by transferring the fish from the trucks to large water filled barges, from which the fish can be distributed in all areas of the bay. The fish which average from 4 to 5 inches will be around 10 to 11 inch catchables by late spring. According to Gloss another 280,-00- 0 of the fingerling will be planted from the upper end of the lake. ruary 2, 1971.
