Army, military installations scat-- personnel from civilian populations, produced a high deand inde-- ; gree of pendence within the military communities. A volunteer spirit and a. e tradition of "caring for its own became characteristics of Army life. While some aspects of Army life have not changed, characteristics of our modern urban communities have been incorporated by developing programs and ser- vices within the installations. Modem Army life has seen a tremendous increase in the family unit. In the early days, the only women who lived were Wives of high rankin todays Army, officers; ing over 50 percent of the on-po- st ser-vicememb- ers are married. This increase in family members has dramatically increased the need for Army community to address the social problems that were being experienced by the soldier and family members. In July 1965, the Army Chief of Staff directed an Army Community Service program be established. We have come a long way and today the ACS program theme: "Self-Hel- Service and nurtured the has Stability Army Family through the various programs offered.

II, 1983 The opening of the 1983-8- 4 waterfowl season started Saturday, October 8 at 12:08 p.m. Hunting pressure for the opening weekend was down by about one-thir-d compared to 1982. The hunter tally for the weekend totaled 271 nimrods taking 523 ducks and coots. In descending order the following species were taken by hunters: coots, American wigeon, mallard, pintail, gadwall and greenwinged teal (tied), redhead, shoveler, ruddy, canvasback and merganser. It was a surprise that the coot was the number one bird taken.. Perhaps the coot barbecues held a few years ago served the purpose of showing hunters that they are a very good eating bird. Many people think the coot, probably beause of its popular name "mudhen, eats or siphons mud so it is not a palatable species. Actually the coot is a vegetarian and eats almost exclusively aquared-breast- ed tic vegetation. through building retrofits; more fuel efficient automobiles, more efficient plant equipment, and a new generation of commercial aircraft. Additionally, new housing when only 199 checked in. We are not really sure why the opening day hunter pressure was down. Hunters averages 1.92 birds per person for the weekend. This is above starts should see architects and builders giving more opening weekend figures for Utah that we have heard of so far. Overall the hunters were very well man- nered. We had some at- tention to energy efficient structures. Industrial efficiencies have progressed well while residential efficiencies have lagged behind. One might conclude that , stances of littering and some hunters shot coots and left them in the marsh. From my observations and 17 years experience of dealing with the energy problem is behind us. Let us consider the facts. Americans use more in-- energy per person than any other people in the world.
