I was very impressed with the effettf and sacrifice of the volunteers who not only provided the wonderful sletic complex that is a tribute to your fine community, for the foster parents who housed the young boys from the various areas.. Some of the families have made sacrifices by having as many as seven boys into their home. I was very proud to be a guest in your fine community and to meet and associate with the fine people involved with the tournament, such as your fine mayor and the councilmen, and others too numerous to mention. On behalf of the Babe Ruth, I wish to thank you for allowing us to be a part of your community during this tournament. My sincere thanks.

In early July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Forsythe Nongame Bill This Act., HR 8292, federal would authorise a three-yea- r aid program to help state wildlife agencies develop comprehensive plana for managing nongame fish and wildlife. It authorises expenditures to $3 million in 1980, $8 million in 1981 and $8 million in 1982. Additional legislation will probably follow which would implement nongame conservation plans developed by the states, using receipts from a proposed tax- on bird feed, houses, feeders and baths. A nongame bill has not been introduced in the UJ3. Senate aa yet One is likely to appear soon, however, since the House has acted. Window shades Are you throwing money out the window? About one fourth of the energy used for heating and cooling in the United States is lost through windows. That qan mean mare than $300 per year spent to heat- or cool the great outdoors, said Marilyn Noyes, Utah State' University family resource management specialist. em is' that glass is an excellent conductor of heat. In the summer, the blistering aun shines through the glass and causes a heat buildup jn the home, Mrs. Noyes said. That, in turn, requires more air conditioning to keep the house cool and uses extra energy. A standard window shade,' however, can cut down on the heat buildup. During the hot, sunny part of the day, shades should be pulled down, especially those on the south aide of the house. During the evening, night, and early morning hours, let the shades up and open the windows to allow cod. air. to come inside, Mrs. Noyes suggested. ' Shades are inexpensive, almost maintenance free, and have a long service life, she said. ... The shade can also be decanted with fringes, tassles and stripes of colorful fabric, the specialist added.

Constitution as being the vehicle to provide information that fulfills "the people's right to know." To quote James Kilpatrick, "When the press is locked out, the people lose their eyes and their ears and their sense of a fishy smell as well." Recent decisions by the high court, when taken in their totality, can be interpret-te- d in no other way than as an attempt, and increasingly successful effort, to "lock" the press and the American people out of the United States legal and political arenas. Justice White, while reading the majority five-ma- n opinion in the Gannett Co. vs. DePasquale case indicated that judges and prosecutors could oversee our criminal justice system themselves without damaging the public's legitimate interests. Under the guise of protecting individual liberties, the high court majority is denying the American people the opportunity to obtain information through the press which allows the people to review and oversee the criminal justice system and the judicial process. Effects of recent Supreme Court rulings which deny the people a free press can be summarized as follows: A decision allowing police to rummage through newsroom files.
