By Jay Overheard in Holladay: Folks in Russia are said to take only one bath a year. This appears to be propaganda designed to attract American youth to communism. Sometimes we wonder if the things we are doing make good sense. The people to Salt Lake County have just voted to spend $17 million for meeting places, including a convention center that will try to attract tourists to the state. That sounds pretty good until you read how much easier other states accomplish the same purpose. South Dakota, for instance, has a system that is hard to beat, and it is sure-firyear after year. Every fall, 60,000 pheasant hunters flock to eastern South Dakota. The state collects a $25 hunting license fee from each one. That adds up to $1,500,000 for the state treasury. The hunters spend another $4!4 million for food, lodging, recreation, and so on. That's $6 million every year. It will be interesting to sec how long it takes Utah to realize $6 million from its convention center. And the hunters go away happy, ready to return next year because they had a good time and got their money's worth. For the $25 license fee, the hunter can shoot 20 cock pheasants; they- average more than 10. Shooting is confined to the hours between 12 noon and sunset, except for the final day. And it isn't easy. One hunter writes: "The South Dakota pheasant is. at the best, never easy to catch. Hes spooky as all get out. and there's a wealth of cover for hiding soil bank, wind break tree plantings, stubble, and corn fields. The cover was denser than usual this year because killing front held off until the last day of October. The state figures that out of state hunters kill a million cock pheasant every year, and several take local hunters times that many. Yet there is always a bumper crop for the next year. e, Tailings for Roads The Olympus Jr. High advanced spech classes will stage the three act play A Christmas Carol on Dec. 19 at 7:30 p.m. The play will unfold before the public in the Olympus jr high auditorium.

There are now 10 wards in the stake. Some 1,700 members turned out for the reorganization meeting to vote unanimously for a reshuffle of boundaries effecting every ward in the stake. They also sustained 10 new bishoprics, although many of those who served in the past were retained. Stake president James E. who conducted the Faust, meeting, said there were several reasons for laying out new boundaries. These included growing population of the Cottonwood Stake, construction of 'several new multi-lan- e highways which are forming natural barriers geographic within several wards and a lack of chapels west of Highland Drive. of Total membership the stake is nearing 5.000 men, women and children, the stake president explained. Some of the seven original wards had populations of nearly 800 members. Also, while half of the total membership of the stake lives west of Highland Drive, there are no chapel facilities in that area. Under the action taken at the Dec. i meeting. Cottonwood 8th, 9th and 10th Wards wore created. As closely as possible, natural boundaries like the Cottonwood Diagonal, Highland School Board Hears 6200 So.

Dr., and the proposed Belt Route will separate the various wards of the Cottonwood Stake, president Faust said. The 10 wards now range in size from 370 to 640 members. Two new chapels will be built in the stake as a result of the boundaries change. At the meeting, president Faust admonished the members of the new 6th and 10th Wards and the 7th and 4th Wards, with the help of the 2nd Ward, to raise the necessary funds (about $60,000) as quickly as possible to proccd with construction of the new chapel facilities, both to be located west of Highland Dr. There are three existing chapels in use in the Cottonwood Stake. These are the Cottonwood 1st Ward Chapel at 5901 Highland Drive, the Cottonwood 2nd and 4th (and stake center) at 2080 E. 5165 South and Cottonwood 3rd and 5th at 6301 S. 2300 East. setUnder the new up, the Cottonwood 1st and 3rd-5t- h Ward Chapels will be remodeled into three-war- d faci lities.
