Caribou resident comments on NASA spending rising from 600 million in 1961 to 5 billion in 1966. He notes a Minneapolis firm contract to teach astronauts not to forget things, calling it a costly "I Forgot" program and joking about local impacts and a national “I Forgot” crusade.
In a readers letter Clem Webster urges Congress to curb spending arguing the program could save a million yearly. He cites funds for folk singers in the Congo and fitness instructors in Ethiopia and laments weak oversight. The writer jokes about majority rule and requests editorial support for the project.
A seven year old fished with her father and proudly showed her catch to her mother. She named one fish a mackerel and the other a loud mouth bass. The piece ends with notes on easy hula dancing and simple grass crop steps for left and right hips and rotation of crops.
The $7 recreation-conservation auto sticker, announced by Secretaries Freeman and Udall, will allow noncommercial autos and all passengers to enter most federal recreation areas in the Intermountain Region starting April 1965. It covers National Forests, National Parks, and other areas, with an option for a single entry fee for those 16 and older. Receipts fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund to aid states and localities in expanding outdoor recreation.
On April 1 long distance rates drop for the second time in two months. Local manager D R Watts of Soda Springs says daytime station to station calls between states will be $2 or less for three minutes, with reductions prior for evenings and weekends benefiting residents and businesses. Rates from 5 to 25 percent are noted.
Rates align with private facilities and services. The 1965 recreation-conservation stickers go on sale soon as annual permits for access to federal recreation areas. A three inch green sticker on white paper will read Outdoor Recreation for America and Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Bell System announces a second price cut as part of a $100 million program saving telephone users from long distance charges.

The February 1 cut previously saved $75 million, with the latest reduction expected to add further savings.
