Union and Duchesne square off Saturday 87-2- 9 61-4- 81-5- 2-- On the recommendatin of recreatio-nists- , conservationiests and various government agencies, the 1971 legislature passed a recreation vehicle act, which was and is designed to promote responsible and enjoyable use of snowmobiles and other vehicles, by providing a means to reduce the safety hazards, noise and eccological damage problems which were causing mass land closure and provide some of the bask services and facilities so necessary for the enhancement of this growing recreation. Ted Tuttle, boating and recreation vehicles chief for the Utah Divison of Parks and Recreation, stated, "much has been accomplished toward this goal but there are still several challenges to overcome." Through a series of public meetings, and in an attempt to identify local needs, and receive suggestions and comments from area riders and answer questions about requirements of the snowmobile provehigram in particular and cles use, in general, several division per sonel and representatives from the State, County and federal agencies will be in Vernal February 7, at the Jr. high school auditorium at 721 West 1st South, at 7 p.m. all Uintah Basin residents, with any interest in this field, are encouraged to attend and participate.

Rampton has appointed Mayor Hollis Hullinger of Roosevelt, to the Governor's Advisory Council on Community Affairs. The Council is d made of officials from throughout the state, to provide local input to the Governor's office and state agencies, taking a strong role in the formation oi aaminisirauon policies towara local governments. Presently, the Council is reviewing bills now before the State Legislature, which affect local governments, and expressing "support" or "nonsupport" of each. as Mayor Hullinger is working mayor. He recently sold his Pepsi-Collocal-electe- a Plant. He is married and has seven children. He is active in Church activities, is a past president of the Lions Club, was a member of the School Board for 8 years, and a member of the City Council for two years. Mayor Hullinger is one of six newly appointed members. Also appointed were: Mayor Timothy Moran of Spanish Fork, Mayor Woodrow Beck of Gunnison, Mayor Wallace Lee of Panguitch, Mayor Russell Grange of Provo and Mayor Walter Axelgard of Price. Mayor Hullinger has also been named e to the Governor's board on housing. o "The scientist and extension worker must join hands with the businessman, politician and bureaucrat if the farmer's engine of technology is to be started and fueled," according to Don Paarlberg, Director of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. "I feel that governments throughout the world will find the maintenance of food supplies so fundamental as to give agriculture the priority which it deserves." Paarlberg commented. In reviewing Agriculture for 1973 the combination of thin stocks, increasing populations, the push towards improved diets, and the desire to importing countries to rebuild stocks should keep supplies tight at least for awhile. Worldwide inflation and the devaluation of the dollar have probably carried prices of United States farm products permanently above the levels of the sixties." We expect, said Paarlberg, "that present high prices will call for further increases in output by producers around the world. Grain farmers in the united States and Canada are being encouraged to produce more grain, backed up by measures such as the removal of all U. S. acreage restrictions. Purchases are increasing for irrigation facilities, machinery, and improved seed. Thus, in the 1974-7marketing year, if weather conditions are normal or better, there should be a rebuilding of grain stocks throughout the world and a resulting decline of prices from the extraordinary levels reached in 1973." Paarlberg said that in the immediate years ahead, he sees neither an era of insatiable demand and rocketing prices for food, nor a return to low prices and the generation of huge surpluses in the 5 offices at 7 a.m. and will return at 7 p.m. (Departure from Park City is at 4 p.m.) Those wishing more information can call, Roosevelt, Vernal, Duchesne, Hunts over but work continues forUWR two sheep, belonging to Porter Merrill in of the many killed by dogs over the weekend. few a Duchesne, were only These and about IS others were found Monday morning of this week. Blood and wool was strewn for a wide area over the snow as the dogs had viciously torn the animals apart. Duchesne is making an effort to eliminate the dog packs by tightening up on control ordinances, and by passing new ones. OF RESULT for the future. The winter season is not a slack period for Division of Wildlife Resources personnel, says Homer Stapley, assistant game management chief. It is at this time that a full assessment of the past season's activities, including hunting and fishing, can be made and plans can be formulated major grain exporting countries. He thinks a third situation is more likely than either of these two, Paalberg predicted we may see a recovery of agriculture production in the world and a per capita supply of food resuming its upward trend. But it is unlikely that prices of farm products will fall to the levels that prevailed two years ago." The vast volume of data collected during the past year is being critically analyzed, and will aid in objective management of the wildlife resources. Data analyzed includes productivity of different species, population trends, habitat quality and quantity and a review of land use programs as they may affect wildlife in the future. Many land use programs are adverse to wildlife, and it is the responsibility of the Division to offset those programs by developing new ones, said Stapley. Harvest questionnaires are also being studied. Licensed hunters who receive questionnaires are urged to return them to the Division, because theyare a necessary tool in carrying out managment activities. Information regarding wildlife species will continue to be collected throughout the winter, including migration habits, where and how well wildlife are wintering, and their effect on the winter range. Certain species will be relocated into areas of suitable habitat which can support additional animals. These species include Hungarian and chukar partridge, pheasants and turkeys. Much time is spent contending with wildlife damage problems throughout the state. Deer get into private haystacks, orchards and ornamental shrubs, particularly along the Wasatch Front, and Division personnel must translocate the animals to areas where they will do no harm. Utah school costs climb 153 D0GS--The- se Dogs cause damage near Duchesne; ordinance enforced According to Mayor Les Wallace, Du- City's dog ordinances will be strictly enforced in an effort to cut down on destruction that is being caused by chesne loose dogs. "The people of Duchesne," the mayor said, "are going to have to realize that when a person owns a dog, there are responsibilities that go with it. If they are not willing to accept their responsibilities, they should not have the dog." Over the past weekend, sheepmen in the area have suffered particularly heavy losses from bands of dogs running loose. Porter Merrill was hit both Friday and Sunday nights, taking more than 20 head of sheep, with a total value of some $2,000. Since the. sheep herd is a large part of his income, the loss is rather severe. Phillip Moon also lost seven head of sheep, valued at more than $600, in a raid made by the dogs last week. Roy Eliasen has also suffered losses this year, exceeding $250. during past 10 years "Total operating costs of Utah schools from $86,210,256 to in the 10 years $217,872,477, or 153 since 1963," the Utah Taxpayers Association said today. "The costs do not include funds spent for capital outlay and debt service," the UTA NEWS noted. "Per capita operating costs in Duchesne District were $781.01 compared with the state average of $756.77," said the News. Jordan School District had the state's lowest per pupil costs with $681.22. Alpine District was next with $682.31. Daggett District had the highest cost $1,742.74. UTC claims that the teacher-pupi- l ratio is the most important item in determining school operating costs. When the ratio drops just one point, it costs taxpayers an additional $4.6 million. Accor increased -- ding to the Association, in the past 10 from years the ratio has dropped 11 26.4 to 23.4. This cut in the teacher-pupi- l ratio means that 1,415 more teachers are now being used to teach a similar number of pupils. The teacher-pupi- l ratio in Duchesne was 22.3 compared to the state average of All of these occurances have been traced back to dogs, most of which are believed to be from within the city limits. The mayor also pointed out that as of February 14, there will be new, stronger ordinance dealing with the care of dogs. He urged residents of Duchesne to see that their dogs are cared for properly, to show some consideration for "neighbors. The dealine for the licensing of dogs within the city has been extended to Feb. 15, in order to give everyone ample time to register their dogs. 23.4. Daggett District had the lowest ratio with 13.9 and Washington the highest with 26.2 followed by Cache with 26.1. The UTA News further noted that 1972-7average contract salaries of classroom teachers in Utah were $8,503, or $945 per month for time actually worked. Duchesne average salary was $7,350. Association analysts said that fringe benefits - retirement social security, and cost taxpayers an additional This is equivalent to about $13)7 for every school employee. Adding this to the $945 per month would put monthly average teacher salaries at near insurance - $28.4 million. $1,090. By districts, average salaries range from a low of $7,350 in Duchesne to a high of $9,148 in Garfield. Cooperative welding class meeting needs "The class is full and I think we even had to turn some students away," commented Ralph Long about an experimental welding class being held on Thursdays and Fridays in Roosevelt The class is taught by Long, Utah State University professor in Logan, and Doug Bradley, instructor for the Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center. Sponsored jointly by the Vocational Center and the USU Uintah Basin Education Center (UBEC) in Roosevelt, the class is designed for both vocational and college credit students. Of the 18 students currently taking the class, eight are doing it for university credit Long said the class brought together a variety of students including some ranchers and oil field people. "A couple of students drive almost 150 miles round trip to take the class," the USU industrial technology professor added. Long flies down each Friday to teach the class, and Bradley teaches it on Thursdays. Paul Edmunds, coordinator for the UBEC, is very enthusiastic about the program and its implications of increased cooperation between the Vocational Center and the university. "I think it will be a continuing program," Dr. Edmunds concluded.

The game was close only in the first at quarter with Grantsville trailing lead and exthe half Union held a ad0 ploded in the third to take a vantage, Union finished ahead with the 8 victory. Duchesne topped traditional rival Tabiona 72-5-8 and tightened the Region Ten title picture. For Tabbie, the loss pushed the Tigers deeper into the Region cellar. Mark Hall hit for 28 points and John Welsh added another 18 in leading the Eagles. Ervan Rhoades popped in 16 and Jones had 11 for the Tigers. Altamont took it on the chin for the first time in region play falling to Class San Juan 65-6but by virtue of the Monticello loss to Green River held on to sole possession of first place.
