Internationally it is probably played by more people than any other sport. Physical education students at Manti High School have been able to play witn and learn from a fine soccer player. He is Jorge Quintero, 16, of Bucaramanga, Columbia. Jorge is an exchange student with the Youth for Understanding program. In soccer the ball cannot be touched with the hands. This is no real handicap to Jorge because he has fast and well trained feet, and can deftly direct its path to the goal. A master faker, Jorge often can move through a maze of opponents, and kick the ball adroitly through the goal. Most of the boys in his class have greatly improved their skills by watching him play and following his counsel. The Kim Larsen home in Ephraim is Jorges home away Larsens until July when he again returns to Bucaramanga, a city of about two million people. When queried about American versus Columbian food, Jorge said his diet here was about the same as in Columbia. Favorite foods include meat, potaoes and rice. American Soccer is one of the fruits, however, Jorge con- siders a real delicacy. Although his home school has a population of 3,000, Jorge has mixed very well into small school life at MHS. Always prepared in his classes, he is learning to speak English more fluently each day. A good friend is Raymond Loosle, who speaks Spanish with complete command and helps Jorge. Allan Hatch, another member of the physical education class, knows Spanish and talks with Jorge in his native tongue.

Most often the victims or marks are those least able to afford the loss. Favorite targets of the bunco operators are elderly people with modest savings accounts. week, the During Utah Bankers Association will launch a full scale educational program designed to alert Utahns as to the ploys and schemes of the bunco artists. According to Doris Taggart, spokeswoman for the Utah Bankers Association, We have chosen a concentrated campaign in the hope that this method will have the deepest penetration of information. If we are to effectively combat fraud crimes, we must have an informed populace alert to the tricks of the bunco artist. Among the actions planned is a public service TV campaign featuring announcements by Governor Rampton, Attorney General Vernon Romney and top law enforcement officers, public service radio announcements, news releases, lecturers, posters and information cards in banks and other public places. In all instances, citizens will be asked to notify their bank or local police. d This year Week will be November 16 through the 22nd. Anti-Frau- the MHS faculty is teaching a class in Spanish this year and is a help to Jorge in mastering English. Another sport he plays well is table tennis, but has had little experience with softball or football. Basketball is also a favorite sport, he claims. Jorges father is a farmer by profession. He has one brother and four sisters. One of the sisters is in Michigan on the Youth for Understandi gram. One day Jorge hopes to return to an American university and become trained in medicine. Students and teachers at Manti High School think that with his good study habits and personality he will be able to reach his life's goal. In the meantime they are enjoying his friendliness and his excellent contribution to the d school.

Dean Spackman, assistant law enforcement chief. Spackman said that this number was not a complete list of all the violators who were ticketed during this years hunt. It includes only those who have been to court and were convicted. The most often cited misdemeanor to date is for making unlawful application for a permit. By law, hunters are allowed to apply for only one elk permit each year. Sentences for ' a typical Class B. misdemeanor (such as applying for two permits) vary from an average fine of $50 up to the maximum penalty of a $299 fine and six months in jail. Violations categorized as Class A misdemeanors include the endangered species list. Maximum penalty for Class A violations is a $1,000 fine andor one year in jail. Citations for carrying a gun on a game preserve and having a loaded gun in a vehicle were the second most frequent violations. Several hunters were guilty of hunting outside designated elk hunting units, while approximately the same number of errant hunters took cows in the bull only season. Spackman indicated that citations are a necessary part of game management procedures. Uncontrolled shooting of our game species would eventually reduce the number of animals-necessarto maintain a breeding population. Once that number is reduced too far, the species is endangered, he said. Its only the small minority of hunters that break the rules. Most good hunters make every effort to be informed of the regulations and to abide by them. Those who do not, however, could cause serious popultaion depletions and upset sex ratios by harvesting authorized animals. It is necessary to control those individuals who are unable to see the long range effects of their actions. The negative effects, however, are not limited solely to the animals. The wrong-doing- s of some hunters reflect a bad image on all other hunters. And as previously stated, most hunters are conscientious, ethical people. Aside from the damage done to game animals and the unethical aspersions cast upon many hunters by the acts of a few, the violations can be costly. Last year $117,310.25 in fines for hunting and fishing related violations were paid to the state. During 1974 these same violations resulted in a total of 236 days spent in jail. Spackman concluded by saying, "We are hopeful that Utah hunters will take the initiative to police their own back yards'. If and when that becomes a consistent proposition, the effectiveness of Utahs game management programs will provide more hours of recreation in the for a greater number of sportsmen. By keeping careful watch over their hunting activities, sportsmen can help to keep game animal populations in balance. Law enforcement personnel, due to the size of the huntable territory in Utah, are unable to cover as much countryside as their job de-- . mands. The ethical hunter can help by reporting violations and by insisting that other hunters abide by the regulations. Hunters do Spackman said, offer a great deal of assistance to Division officers. Many arrests are made from the initial information given to the Division by other hunters. Until all hunters obey the hunting laws, violators will continue to be prosecuted, and those who insist on breaking the laws will have to pay the price. un- d forward, and Kelly Sondrup, forward.

PIGEON DROP FRAUD Doris Taggart Utah Bankers Association Spokeswoman d watches signing of Week proclamation by Governor Calvin L. Rampton. Action is being taken by the Utah Bankers Association to reduce bunco crimes in Utah. Anti-Frau- According to the Utah Bankers Association, one of the more prevelant bunco frauds is the pigeon drop. A potential victim or mark is engaged in conversation with a stranger. A third person appears on the scene and pretends to have found a package of money or a valuable piece of jewelry or some other item of great value. The first stranger insists that he and the mark share in the find. The finder agrees if the other, two will put up something of value, money or jewelry, to prove their good faith. Often this is put in a bag and the victim is allowed to hold the bag while the finder and first stranger attend to other business. Naturally, on inspection the bag is found to have worthless contents. Best protection here is to remember nothing is free and the mark is actually participating in a dishonest act. If approached, the potential victim should make every attempt to contact local police immediately and try to help identify the bunco artists. 1975 Deer Hunt Results Recently Released afield in Utah for the annual deer hunt appeared to have decreased by approximately percent from 1974. Roughly, 183,390 hunters took to the mountains in search d of the quarry. Hunter success for the 1975 general season was approximately 23.6 percent, a slight decrease from last years general season hunter success of 28 percent. Preliminary estimates on the results of the 1975 deer hunt have been released by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Chief of Game Management, Norman V. Hancock. Hancock emphasized the following figures are only preliminary estimates. Accurate figures will not be available until February when the Divisions final tabulations are made.
