Immunization Clinic The name of the game is: moose, elk, or muley around these parts and at close of the season, Utah hunters will have matched their wits with these greatly prized trophies, reducing many to "dead duck". For certain, a lot of "bull" stories will be exchanged. Speaking of' which, the bugle of an old bull ek often sounds like a braying donkey; much like the noises we heard during the Presidential Debates. For the nimrods who've filled their larder with moose or elk for the first time and don't know what to do with it, try saucrbralcn, with a different twist. Marinate your rump or blade roast (in glass container) three or four days in a savory sauce and cook in oven according to recipe, then thicken pan drippings for gravy with a generous handful of crumbled gingersnap cookies. Be sure to soak your venison in salt water. Gaminess is sometimes due to inappropriate opening of the vent or to traces of blood left in the Hazel T. Marriott .

A big tear rolled down his check, his bottom lip quivered. His clothes were tattered and tom. Blood from a cut on his arm had seeped through his shirt which hung in shreds from the right sleeve. His Levis were also dirty and bloodied. One hand print of blood smeared his pant leg where he had wiped the blood from his hand. The other leg had a big hole with a scratched knee protruding. materials if they could even be Obviously the clothes woe rag-ba- g washed and the stains removed. It was a good thing that they had started the day not new or even as a good clean-u- p outfit, but as a "they might come back in rags" outfit. From previous experience, everyone knew what could happen. One year he had started the morning in a brand new pair of $25 Levis, plus a $15 new shirt, a $45 jacket, new gloves, a bright coined vest and numerous accessories he did not dare mention to his new bride. Their tight budget did not allow for luxuries at this time, but surely he could replenish some of their food supply and thus justify the cash that had been spent on this project. Now he was older and wiser and knew that it was a gamble and all the frills of the first year did not guarantee the prize and were a waste of money, as many, with less to show for preparation, did just as well if not better than he. The project had really started several days ago. Everything must be in ship-shaready. Plans had to be made, maps studied and calls made between team mates. Excitement had grown and each night the projected first day was carefully gone over while trying to sleep. Every move must be thought out, every step calculated. No stone must be left unturned to make sure everyone was in an exact place at the right time. The night before was spent in careful preparation and checking and. every detail. Alter a few wakeful hours tossing and turning in bed, the clock's hands finally pointed to 4 o'clock, just one half hour before the alarm was set to go off. This half hour would give him a few more minutes to wake his wife to prepare a hearty breakfast and check everything one more time before he met his companions and started the drive, figured out to coincide with the destination and sunrise to be reached at the same time. The big day began and it ended at sunset The excitement had drained away hours ago when the last big mountain had rose in front of them and they knew they must get to the other side. The fast quick steps were now just a shuffle. The big breakfast at 4:30 had long ago lost its punch and the packed lunch had been dropped, stepped on, sat on, rolled down a hillside and finally sandwiches, thin as paper, nibbled on and the rest left for the squirrels. Faces that started out clean and shining with excitement were now dirty with tired, red eyes and puffy lips dried from the cold and wind. Words cannot describe the wife's feelings as she meets her tired, sorrowful hunter husband as he says, "I missed the biggest buck I ever saw by just inches."

Warn children not to cut across yards where they can trip over lawn ornaments or run into clotheslines that arc invisible in the dark. Tell them to stick to unsuspecting. But what is really scary is that the holiday and its trappings greatly increase the risk of injury to children. According to the Utah Safety Council, most injuries that occur on All Hallow's Eve can be prevented. Halloween injuries involve: environmental hazards such as steps, uneven pavement and other obstacles in the dark that can cause falls, flammable and cumbersome costumes, wigs, and masks; and motorists who arc unable to sec. The following safety suggestions will help make this Halloween injury-freFalls arc the leading cause of accidents m Halloween. The fact that children wear costumes and walk in the dark in unfamiliar neighborhoods increases the risk of a fall. The following lips will help keep children on their feel: Apply face paint or cosmetics directly to the face. It is safer than loose-fittin- g masks which could obstruct a child's vision. If a mask is worn, cut the eyeholes large enough to allow full vision and be certain the mask fits securely. Give flashlights so they can sec and be seen more clearly. Make costumes short enough to avoid tripping over them. Secure hats so the sidewalks. Pedestrian injuries arc another serious problem on Halloween night. Costumed traipsing dimly-l- it streets are difficult for drivers to see. Parents irick-or-ircatc- rs should brighten up Wonder Woman and Darth Vadcr on Halloween night.

Provide children with flashlights that will help them sec and be seen.

Watch for children walking in the street or on medians and curbs. Be prepared for children to dart out in the street at any lime, especially from between parked cars. Enter and exit driveways and they will not slip over children's alleys carefully. Make sure your eyes. Dress children in shoes that headlights are clean and working so fit; mother's high heels arc not safe you can see and be seen.

Avoid costumes made out of flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts. These arc more likely to come in contact with an exposed flame or candle than tighter filling costumes. Be sure to use material if the cos- lumes are homemade. nt Young children should be accompanied by parents or other responsible adults who will keep the children in sight at all times. Attach the name, address and phone number (incl. area code) of youngsters under 12 to their clothes, but not in an easily visible place. Each child should have change for. a phone call in case they have a problem away from home. Instruct children to travel only in familiar areas and along a route. Establish a lime for children to return home. Have children restrict their calls to homes with porch or other outside lights on.
