National Wildlife Week Scheduled National Wildlife Week has and been set for March 20-2this years theme will be the preservation of our states natural beauty with the slogan 6, Protect Natural Beauty. Purpose of the week, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation, is to focus public attention on the importance of our natural beauty and the need for all citizens to work for its preservation. During each of the past 28 years, an important problem concerning conservation needs has been brought to the Nations attention through this program. The need for such a yearly occasion was first recognized in 1938 when the first National Wildlife Week was set aside by Presidential decree. Ever since that time, sponsorship of this event has been under the direction of the National Wildlife Federation and affiliated organizations in the states. ve Page Five ginal caller can dismiss the third party by clicking the switch- Telephone Firm Eyes New Service Excuses for not returning a telephone call may soon be outof officials the Department dated according to Hy Bradley, Top of the Interior met Wednesday district manager of the Mountain with two members of Utahs States Telephone Company.

The need for more Seabees has grown rapidly as the need for more airfields, harbors, and other construction work in Vietnam has expanded. This direct rating program is similar to the one used in World War II. It allows a man skilled in the building trades, heavy equipment operation, mechanics, engineering, and steel working to continue working at his trade and to fulfill his military obligation at the same time. In addition it recognizes a mans existing skill by enabling him to enlist in a senior pay grade. Depending on experience, enlistments can be effected as first, second and third class petty officers.
