Only limited number OF deer
in the Lake Chelan district on the
eastern side Of the Cascades have
been transferred this year. But
they have been trapped without in
jury to the animals and will thrive
IN other regions where there IS
more food.
Tried in Wisconsin
Besides a need for thinning out
the deer in certain areas. there is
a need for restocking other parts.
Thus a planned program will prob
ably be introduced next year.
The deer trapped so far have
been in good shape. due to the
open winter. a year ago. however.
many deer became sick and died.
To care for such deer, the prae-
tice was opened this year. The ad-
venture had been tried out in only
one other state-Wisconsin.
Five Men Active
Built in two sections. the trap
contains feed for the deer. When
they enter, the door TO the outer
screen cage is sprung. From fear,
they enter dark inner box,
against which second door closes.
The deer is transported within the
pen by game department truck.

that the program represents "a safeguard
against the vast aerial militarization programs

Could They Be Supplied With Ships?
A LITTLE commonsense analysis will be OF
no HARM
What nation has "a vast aerial plan" to attack
the United States? Or attack Latin America?
Or attack Canada?
The average person does not know that plane
at the front in war requires minimum Of rs
men behind it for maintenance, supply, direc-
ton, training and reserves. Thirteen thousand
planes would require 900 extra men in the
army and navy air arms alone!
we turn out 10000 pilots per year. the army
and navy would be lucky if they received 500
capable military pilots per year. The air arms
