\"Click<\/a>The Utah deer hunt begins Saturday – and judging by past performances all the casualties won’t be of the four-legged variety. Driving unfamiliar roads…doing things we’re unaccustomed to doing handling guns sometimes firing them quickly or distances beyond good visibility – these and other hazards confront the hunters ai they head into the deer country, The Herald urges every participant to be doubly careful. A hunt can be an exhilarating experience but it can also be a tragedy if somebody gets killed or injured. The important thing is to take every precaution, wear the right clothing, drive carefully, don’t overdo the climbing and other exercise, and go the second mile to be careful with guns. Hunters who enter private property have a special responsibility to be mindful of owners’ rights. Another must: Be careful with fire. Follow the rules and don’t start any brush or forest fires. A lot of hunters will be on the highways and in the mountain areas in the days ahead. Caution and safety should be the watchwords. Make it a great hunt. To Tell the Truth From time immemorial, members of Congress have been padding the voluminous Congressional Record, which most people believe is a faithful chronicle of deliberations on the floor of the House and Senate, with such things as letters from constituents, newspaper editorials and “extensions of remarks” and sometimes even altering their actual remarks. r As a compromise ‘to reform – minded colleagues, Sen. Howard -Cannon, DNev., chairman of the joint committee responsible for the Record, has agreed to use a typographic device of some kind to enable readers of the Record to distinguish between this kind of stuffing and speeches actually made ,in Congress, Sponsors of a reform resolution want a lot more. Not only would the resolution reouire that offresolution require that offthe-floor material be printed in a different type face, more importantly it would decree that corrections in congressional utterances be limited to changes in grammar and not substance. “Crossing out or writing in what one wishes is grossly misleading to both the public and the federal agencies and courts which rely on the Record to establish congressional intent,” says Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., one of the principal sponsors of the resolution. Will Congress vote for truth in government by making the Congressional Record the real record it is supposed to be’? We watch and wait. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
