Moss. He said $15,600 will be used to acquire water from the Jordan River for use on the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. The water will alleviate water shortages in the hunting area during the critical periods of late summer and the early fall. About $6,226 will assist the Utah Department of Fish and Game in developing and further improving the Indian Peaks and Baker Canyon Hunting area and game habitat. Also $10,692 will provide assistance in developing the Bear River Bay Area of the Great Salt Lake. The project includes construction of more than two miles of access road, a parking area and boat slip and related facilities.

Raise to Huge Projects Propose Bar. Trial, therefore, joins with Orville Richardson, the Falling Levels of Great Lakes chairman of ATLs National Committee on Ethics, in a call for a series of broad scale nationwide open hearings on this question. All concerned could press their views at such hearings, including amendments to the proposals. The goal would be to exchange understanding in depth between publishers, editors and reporters on the one hand, and judges, lawyers and police on the other. ALTs Board of Governors has already voted to sponsor such conferences. To make them meaningful, it has wisely deferred taking any stand on the Advisory Committees suggestions until after they have been aired in the debate. Even regulation of the Bar in such matters is not When is there a duty of counsel to simple and speak out? How far may counsel go without peril to protect the reputation or business of a client, or to point up that the issue is one of public concern? Erroneous and prejudicial reporting certainly needs to be corrected. An acquittal should be publicized. What of the post trial, but period?

The courts have begun to speak out on their own, notably in the recent decisions in the sensational Estes, Sheppard and Ruby cases. But the president of the Columbia Broadcasting Company argues that reversal or mistrial is a small price to pay for a press as free to cover the administration of justice as the American Presidency.

Amblyopia is a serious eye defect, amenable to early discovery and treatment. Utah has 76,309 preschoolers, three through five years of age, who should be tested for amblyopia. Most of these youngsters understand the simple Table Game eye test and can be tested subjectively by trained volunteers who say, Show me which way the table legs point. If each parent, with normal sight, could experimentally experience amblyopic vision for a few minutes, local preschool vision screening attendance would increase considerably. People perform when they understand and understanding comes from participation. Young parents, are you sure your child has two good eyes? When your local volunteers who have been trained to screen your preschooler announce their local survey, The greatest cause of preventable blindness in the state of Utah today is amblyopia ex anopsia (lazy eye) .
