Jay Christoffenson, Cache County Planning and Zoning Commission chairman, told the gathering that lie could not blame the man that says, Ive lived on a piece cf ground for 50 years, my father lived on it before me and has father before him. And now, I have to go before some board for permission to do something with my land, even when Ive planned it for years. Mr. Ghristoffcrson stated this was one reason that the planning board had to re ' there. Some other particular areas of consideration to the .... - . board were land use. traffic flow and recreational areas. Many towns were concerned that their streets were being used as throughways from one area to another. This means that the concerned town has to provide for more than its own citizens or face extreme traffic hazards. The planning board has to make sure that provisions are made to bypass these areas with throughways. I: ..

The Wildlife Board made the rifles legal along with previously authorized center-fir- e rifles, bows and broad-heaarrows, and conventional g or shotguns from 10 to 20 gauge.

The bear season was set for May 1 through Oct. 20, 1972. Cougar hunting was scheduled for Nov. 1, 1972 through April 15, 1973.

It means that for every resident who is younger than that there is one who is older. The current median is very close to what it was in 1960, when the previous census was taken.

It was due prin ing in Arizona. cipally to the high birth rates experienced alter World War II. The sharp increase in the number of young people had the effect of bringing the median age down. More recently, however, the birth rate has been moving in the opposite direction, dropping steadily. It is attributed to the fact that women in their 20s are having fewer children than did women of similar age in earlier times. According to the 1970 National Fertility Study, this trend is likely to continue for some time. Its findings indicate that women in their early 20s expect to have an average of 2.53 children. The average in 1965, When a similar study was made, was 3.03. The turn toward smaller families is ascribed by ths Population Reference Bureau to a realization on the part of young married people that rearing children in this complicated and expensive world presents big problems. The extent to which this nas been happening in the local area is to be seen in the Census bureau's report on the numlber of children in the population under the age of live for every 1,000 women of g age. This is called the feimiity ratio. The ratio in Cache county is child-bearin- C've-- as 400. In 1960 it was 598. Tihe shift in the median age has been strongly influenced, nUo. by the number of people in the older age brackets.
