In Issuing Licenses

Should a man with an ungovern-

ing license?
The question has been raised by a
correspondent who has written Bur-
nie Maurek, state game and fish COM
missioner, in such a vein that it is
plain he doubts the wisdom and safe
ty of allowing an. uncertain temper
and a deadly gun to join company.
The letter received by Maurek
reads:

for a deaf and dumb boy with an
awful temper, whose father says If he
gets mad at you will shoot, to get a
hunting license in the state Of North
