Show MUGumti news By Earl Roe 676-2376 I disliked hearing that Mamie' (Class of 1940) was back in the hospital I am sure that all of our readers wish her well and hope that this time find the cause and a cure for her health problems. In the meantime, let Mamie rest and send your news items to me. If I am not at home, my secretary, secre-tary, Evalyn, (minimum pay) will jot them down and see that I get them to Nancy. By the time you read this, the second weekend of the hunt will be history and if it is anything like the first few days, we will all wonder where the Department of Wildlife Resources gathered the statistics for their prediction for an above average hunter success in the Southern Region. Perhaps they are resorting to my philosophy covering my hunting days. The hunt was always good, just the finding went up and down from season to season. In my opinion, the hunt is being over managed. We ought to go back to the 'good old days' management and let the chips fall where they may. The Haycock boys were here camping in their usual spot (the Horizon Lodge) Dick, (Class of 1940) and his two sons. Jack and Kevin and their three sons, Doug, Scott, and Dallin paid a goodly sum to travel from California to hunt the 'wily buck' only to go home empty handed. Dick is the last living member of a family of eight boys and two girls, all of whom grew up and went to school here in Panguitch. His father, Scott Haycock, was our City Marshall for 23 years and dressed in his old-time uniform for our 49ers Day parade and celebration. Dick told me he liked to camp at the Horizon because he hated to have to get up and build a fire before he put his pants on. Dick recently returned from Washington DC where he attended a reunion of the 274th Infantry Regiment. Bob Dole was their guest speaker and presented pre-sented each of them with a WW2 Memorial cap as a token of their contribution to the Memorial Fund. Art Crosby (Class of 1940) had his sons and grandsons come to camp in their usual spot in Owens Hollow. According to his oldest son, Bill, they had only bagged one buck and I know that this group hunts hard. My neighbor, Grant Houston, had his son, Kelley, come to hunt with he and Ryan, and I believe Grant said they got one buck. I know there were lots of other out-of-town hunters here to hunt with local families and if they let me know, I will let our readers know. This is the first time since I was 16 that I have not had a hunting license and the only thing that bothers me about this is the fact that it doesn't bother me. We now have three Foreign Exchange Students in our High School (one in Bryce Valley). Would like to see two or three in all three of our high schools. In talking to our teachers and some of our students, they convey the feeling that these students are an asset to our school. Our third student a PHS is a young Chinese student from Hong Kong , Man-Ho Ah, who is living liv-ing with Evalyn and I for the remainder of the school year. He goes by the name of Joe and really likes it here in Panguitch. He has never seen a snowstorm and is looking forward to seeing some of the white stuff. I would like to remind everyone every-one that if they are interested in housing a foreign student, now is the time to select a student for next year as you now have a wide range of countries from which to select a young man or woman to spend either a half year do a full year in your home. No additional news came my way today so I will end with this Burma Shave slogan (I could not find one on deer hunting). -"The Game Laws Ought -T o Let You Shoot -T he Bird Who Hands - You A Substitute." |
