PROTEST OPEN
deer SEASON
Arrowhead Sportsmen's Organ
ization Not Satisfied with
Deer Season as Set.

The Arrowhead SportSmen's aSSoci-
alton has protested the dates set for
the special five-day deer season in
letters written to Director w. D
Stewart and Conservation Commission
er E. v. Willard, owing to the fact that
the season does not include both q
Saturday and Sunday and give everyone
an equal opportunity to hunt, according
to j. j. Boldin, president of the Sports
mems association.
A recommendation to this effect had
been made to the authorities by the
association previous to the signing of
the order by Governor Olson Presi-
dent Boldin predicts that as there is
no Sunday in the season the state viii
lose large revenue. Many hunters
can go to the woods only on Saturday
and Sunday owing to their work and
many who might be permitted to go out
on Saturday viii be 10th to purchase
a permit for one day of hunting.
The opening of the season this year
had been under consideration by the
authorities for some time and it is
the general impression that plenty ot
time was given to study the question
from all angles and that a proper
season could have been arranged with
out the discrimination which is felt
exists in the order as issued.
The president of the Sportsmen's
association states that the sportsmen's
organizations should be contacted in
advance of such orders and their re-
commentators should bear weight, es-
pecially in the counties in which the
season is opened and where there is
game. The association he represents is
an utilization of all the sportsmen's
clubs in the Arrowhead Country and he
feels that the sentiment expressed
represents the sentiment of the large
membership.
The protest as made is the composite
opinion Of the members who feel that
the dates set are improper and that the
main purpose of the special open season
is to replenish a depleted game and
fish treasury. That this will not be ac-
complished to the extent the depart
ment is entitled TO and that both the
fully served by the order, is the opinion

SWIMMERS IN
fine PROGRAM
Swimming Is On Review
Attracts Large Audiences
Both Evenings.

1t is estimated that about 600 people
attended the carnival at the Memorial
Natatorium on both Monday and
Tuesday evenings. All the regular seats
were filled both evenings besides the
temporary seats placed at the edge Of
the pool The standing room only
sign was hung up early on both
evenings.
The exhibition presented was one of
the best ever given in this city and
were both entertaining and educational.
The carnival was entitled Swimming
is On Review and Misses Grevich and
Tregillis, the instructors and directors,
received many compliments on the
success attending the exhibition.
Nineteen numbers were on the pro-
gram and each and every one was given
without hitch. The under water swim
attracted much attention and was the
first number on the program. In this
event four girls swan two lengths of
the pool under water, considered feat
of extraordinary endurance and skill
Stunt divers performed amusingly
and eight swimmers gave the shadow
swim" in which four swan under water
and four directly over them on the
surface. The four tandem swins in
which five girls in each tandem inter-
locked legs and feet and each group
demonstrating a different stroke, at
tracted much attention as did also the
candle run in which the girls carried
lighted candles with their feet out of
water and swan feet first the length
of the pool.
Fine diving exhibitions were given
and the formations by the swimmers
were neat and well given. Then there
was form swimming in which the sew
eral strokes were demonstrated. The
horse and rider stunt was well received
and given. Eight girls swan with
eight astride and the game was to un-
horse the rider. Novel tricks were
performed on the diving boards.
Probably the life saving exhibition
was the coup of the evening in which
were demonstrated the various carries
to be used in swimming with un-
conscious or drowning persons. Holds
were broken and demonstrations made
both in and out of water. Artificial
respiration was demonstrated in slow
motion and then in regular time with
oral explanations of each step.
The larger part of the events were by
High School swimmers with the ex-
ception Of some stunt diving and events
by the 5th, 9Th, 7th and 9th grade
swimmers. All events were run of with
sort of military precision and whistle
starts. The program lasted one hour.

1t has come at last. We ex-
pected it before this. An irate
shut-in fan of Duluth asks why
it is that the local station
breaks into Marine band pro-
gram given for the benefit of
shut-ins to tell the wide world
that so-and-so's pills or prunes
are better. The same subject
has bothered the Ely listeners
and it might be a fine idea for
the station to answer. How
ever, we would suggest that the
announcer make the eXplana-
ton without breaking into a
NBC grand opera, address by
noted speakers or a U. S.
Marine band program.

In the past year Of economic stress
when great effort has been made to
mobilize all of the volunteer resources
OF the nation to meet the day to day
needs of millions of people for bread
and "a roof, old Nature chose to cut
loose with an unusual number of dis
asters to add to the general misery.
The annals of the American Red
Cross list all of the rampages Of flood,
fire, tornado, earthquake and other
swift-striking catastrophes for the past
fifty-two years. In years other than
1888, greater number of persons have
looked to the organization for quick
relief in. perhaps a single disaster of
vast magnitude as the Mississippi
floods of 1927 or the drought of 1930-3l.
But in 1888 such a wide variety Of
unusual cataclysms were visited upon
people that the record reached 120 for
the year ending June 30-or an average
Of a serious catastrophe every three
days. And following on the wings Of
these devastating forces, came series
of hurricanes in August and September

Since the announcement of
the opening of the deer season
on November 21, considerable
anxiety is being expressed re-
garding the safety of the c. C..
c. and N. R. A. forces in the
forests of the state. Fear is
expressed that the short season
will cause irresponsible hunters
to shoot at moving objects.
With the large number of men
working in the forests it might
be fine idea before a license
is given to ascertain whether
or not the applicant knows the
difference between a man, deer,
rabbit, or duck.
Leaving all joking aside.
There is altogether too much
banging away at moving OBJ
jects during the hunting season
and sometimes it seems as if
the one-buck law would cure
this. Over in Itasca County,
where the one-buck law pre-
walls, the opinion as TO its effec-
tiveness is considerably divided
among those who believe in it
and those who figure it nuis-
ance. 1t might be good idea
for the government and state
to send in enough red caps and
jackets in place of the regula-
ton khaki for all their men in
the woods.
There are many who fail to
see a necessity for an open
season and make the claim
that it was opened only to
recoup game and fish treas
ury, very much depleted.
Some have even gone so far as
to bring the matter into the
courts with the claim that the
laws allow no open season for
deer in odd numbered years.
The outcome of this contention
