In other words, this game on Capitol Hill is based on the premise that a rose by any other name somehow doesn't smell the same. A most recent case in point is the proposed Agency for Consumer Advocacy, which has been kicking around Congress for the past eight years under the name of Consumer Protection Agency. Industry's leading spokesman, R. Heath Larry, chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers, commented recently on this year's proposal: "It must be said that the one thing the American consumer needs most is protection from government overregulation. As the President him- "Consumers, as taxpayers, are now paying $4 billion a year to support the many federal agencies riding herd on business.

No one believes that gun control will prevent the criminally-minde- d from will obtaining guns; only the law a with comply restricting gun ownership. It is impossible to tell the number of criminal activities that are deterred because the criminal knows the possibility of confronting an armed victim. We can recognize, however, that there is some deterrent effect and that the proponents of gun control must recognize that enactment of such laws law-abidi- WILDLIFE REPORT U1NH STATE OMSKM SALT LAKE CITY OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES More Fishing Tips Pork strips and pork chunks are excellent additions to spoons and jubs; their action in the water makes the lures more effective. The pork chunk can be fished alone, on a weedless hook, worked on the surface around lily pads and weeds. Both come in a variety of colors. Game fish lurk in the shadows or around obstructions in the water for very logical reasons. The shelter protects them and, at the same time, it is a hiding place from which the fish can easily see a minnor or other food in the water around them. The deep, quiet middle section of a pool is seldom productive for the angler. Fish rest in this deep water. They do most of their feeding in the more shallow and faster moving water at the head or tail of thepooL In little brooks trout will remain in shaded and protected areas most of the time, rarely venturing into the shallow fifties. They also feed most of the time, because food is scarce in a little stream. In larger streams, where natural forage is more abundant, trout are apt to feed periodically, during the times of insect hatches. Try jigging a spoon in the water right beside a boat, instead of always casting it some distance and retrieving it back to the boat Lift the lure up and down in the water, with occasional pauses to let it flutter to the bottom of its own weight. If a trout scurries away as you wade into the lower end of a pool, stand perfectly still for about five minutes, then east Often the trout will have recovered from its scare in that time. If you can see stones on a stream botton, in shallow and clear water, it is a certainty that any fish in that area can also see you. Archery Clarification In establishing regulations governing the 1977 big game seasons, the Board of Big Game Control made it illegal for archers to use a mechanical cocking device, referred to earlier as a " By way of clarification, the made to prohibit the use of was ruling mechanical cocking devices on bows used for hunting game animals in Utah.

Board members made the ruling after listening to archers at the annual public meetings where many expressed their opposition to the use of the device. Those archers argued that the mechanical nature of the cocking system removed much (4 the primitive aspect of archery hunting.

Thirdly, I oppose gun control because it is a poorly designed attempt at crime control which will only serve to delay any real solution to the crime problem. Gun control deflects our thinking from the real need of this society, and that is criminal control For example, Massachusetts recently passed a law mandating a minimum one-yea-r jail sentence for unlicensed of an possession weapon, yet no mandatory the State provide sentence for burglary, armed robbery, rape, or even murder. This interesting set of values is being encouraged by the gun control mentality. It is about time we got some tough laws for people who abuse firearms rather than those, who simply own them. Finally, any Federal gun control law would require a large, expensive, and will extraordinarily intrusive Federal bureaucracy to administer it. There are an estimated privately owned firearms in this country. Any Fedreal to register or agency established 140-milli- confiscate that number of weapons would have to have computer information systems comparable to those used by the IRS and warrantless search and seizure more illegitimate than procedures OSHA's. The odds of any gun being used criminally are about on ein 400 and, unless criminals change their habits, that one gun would be most difficult to seize. Federal gun control is unnecessary. The concept has significant constitutional and policy problems and ought to be abandoned. It continues to prevent us from focusing on the real issue 1 the protection of persons and property through effective crime control Action by Duchesne County Commission The County Commission reports that action was taken on the followng items at their meeting Thursday July 12. Richard Cornaby, representative of the Uintah Basin Association of Governments, informed the Commission that there are funds available to do work in the county such as improving the facilities and buildings fairground through a special manpower project grant. Duchesne City mayor, Chad Peatross will follow up on this information. Stephen Smith of the U. S. Forest Service and Lynn Winterton, County Weed Supervisor attended the meeting to discuss the problem of noxious weeds on forest serviee land. They were asked by the commission to draw up an agreement between the two agencies would stipulating that the forest sen-icpay the county to spray the weeds in these areas. Mayor Chad Peatross and Duchesne City Administrator Max Forbush reported on various subjects including the patient load and financial status of the Duchesne Valley Clinic and the progress being made on the construction of restrooms at the fairgrounds. Mayor Peatross stated that changes had been made since the original plans were submitted and that an additional charge of approximately $4,000.00 would be necessary. It was then moved and seconded that the county pay its proportionate share of this additional cost, or about $2,000.00, for romplclion of these facilities. The motion was carried. The Commission requested that the city be responsible for providing meal delivery to the prisoners at the jail on Sundays and holidays. Mayor Pealross said that he would get a decision on this matter from his council and advise the commission. The mayor also reported that the rity loads of gravel has hauled twenty-onfrom the Myton crusher and will want more as soon as the crusher is moved back to this area. Hopefully, the cost of the additional gravel could he rharged against the city's share of the $75.(X)0.00 which the county is allotting to the cities next year on a per capita basis. The commission approved payment of a bill presented by Duchesne County Sheriff, George Marctt on behalf of Inland D. Stevenson. The charge was for one hour of helicopter flying time to bring e a body out of the mountain area. A motion was made and seconded that furniture including a desk, credenza chairs, two side arm chairs and recording equipment be sold to Utah County to furnish Judge Sam's office and that each county reimburse Duchesne County for it's proportionate share of the cost. This motion was carried. Consumer aid committee set Five Utah citizens have been named to the new Utah Committee of Consumer Services. The individuals represent a wide spectrum of background and interest They have been charged with the responsibility of advocating the position of residential consumers and small commercial businessmen in regard to utility rate changes and other regulatory actions. The committee was created by House Bill No. 30, passed by the Legislature during the last general session and signed into law by Governor Scott Matheson.

This business will be an eating place, I understand. Its specialty is unknown to me as yet. The new face really helped spruce up that end of main street.
