The Citizens Conference will be held Dec. 7, 8 and 9 and will be used as the primary vehicle to disseminate information to individuals in Utah on the Unified Courts legislation to be introduced in the 1973 Legislature. The Unified Courts project came about from a legislative mandate directing the Legislative Council to do research work on possible alternatives to update Utahs archaic court systems. An advisory committee on th court reorganization was established shortly after the 1969 edict.

It should be noted, however, that job openings in the Salt Lake area hit an all time high of 981 a week ago. At the same time continued claims for unemployment insurance declined steadily to 7,370 from 7,594 a week ago and 8,990 a year ago. The downward path in continued claims appeared certain for another week as 35 fewer initial claims were filed. The low point in claims will probably occur the same week as last year (the third week of October), but will likely buttom out about 2,000. The platypus is one of the most peculiar animals in the world. It has fur like an otter, a tail like a beaver, a bill and webbed toes like a duck and spurs on its hind legs which discharge poison like a rattlesnake. It is also the only mammal in the world that lays eggs. Deer Hunt Opens Saturday, Oct. 21 Conservation officers are doing prehuntin season classification counts on all deer units in the state. Most officers have reported fair to goodly numbers of deer. Final ratios of bucks, does and fawns wont be known until the counts terminate at the start of the general hunting season Oct. 21. Dry weather conditions have caused deer to change their habits. They are not as highly concentrated in areas where they are normally found. Forage production this summer was generally poor and of lower quality. This has forced deer to concentrate on to more more productive areas of smaller size. It is especially true in the central and southern portions of the state. Rainy weather during early fall has recharged moisture in the soil but it came too late to significantly improve the forage conditions. The best hunting is expected to occur on those units farthest from metropolitan centers where hunters are usually less numerous. Hunters should check their proclamations for general season variations. Under the Wildlife Resources Code of Utah, it is illegal to take protected wildlife from airplane, airborne vehicles or any motorized terrestrial or aquatic vehicles, inclding snowmobiles and other recreational vehicles. Hunters are also reminded it is unlawful to possess or use any weapon in the pursuit of any kind of wildlife while under the influence of alcohol or illegal Army Pvt. Edwin J.
