Request for Longer
Duck Season Denied

The federal biological survey has de-
MED the request of Gov Roy E. Ayers
for an extra duck season from Dec.
to Is to give Montana hunters a chance
to get in on the annual northern
flights. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the
federal bureau, said he could not grant
the request because it would be estab-
fishing precedent and other states
would want extra seasons. Governors
of several other states also wired the
agency for extra seasons.
Duck hunting in Montana this sea
son was the poorest in many years
because of the warm weather, accord
ing to heads of the fish and game de-
partment. The season originally was set
for Oct. % to Dec. 5, but was changed
to Oct. to Nov. IA after numerous
sportsmen's organizations asked the
state department to request the change

AT the bottom of the Missouri
river and i'm old channels of that
treacherOus stream lie cargOes of
sunken steamboats, valued at mil
lions upon millions of dollars when
the boats were lost. How great the
losses in river wrecks total since
1919, when the first steamboat was
sunk in the river, will never be
known. but an estimate based on
government reports of the sunken
steamers of $4,000, 900 might be
considered conservative.
Cargoes that variously contained
pelts and skins Of priceless worth to-

GIVING YOUTH A CHANCE
FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT

If the Parent-Teacher Associations of
Imperial Valley accomplished nothing
else during the year, their work would
be well done after Mondays meeting
in the Holtville Methodist church, when
eight junior college students presented
panel discussion of 'Today's Youth"
Coming uncensored directly from the
young men and women themselves, the
recommendation developed by the dis
cussion could very well make up a man.
ual for adults in dealing with the young
er members of the race. Some of the
points stressed by the youths were:
l. The desire and need of boys and
girls for better, more understanding
guidance from parents, working toward
an improved atmosphere to make home
attractive.
2 The growing necessity for educa-
tional facilities which will fit young
people for business and industry, not
give them only theoretical knowledge
of impractical matters.
3. Desirability of recreational facili-
ties to take the place of harmful pas
times which sometimes are the only re-
source left to young people.
4. lie nteu lOf Dellef, more
gent church leadership to attract young
people to spiritual considerations
5. The need for available jobs to boys
and girls after graduation from school.
A full length book would be too short
to consider fully the numerous aspects
of these criticisms 1t is safe to say,
however, that the harshest indictment of
all was that leveled against the parents.
1t may be, too that solution of this
one problem would solve the others.
Church, school and community recrea-
tional groups can go far to help the
young people, but without good home
environment, their work faces an almost
insurmountable obstacle.
At home the child should learn hon
esty, integrity and ambition. He cannot
do so if the example set for him is one
Of slovenly character. More than an
example is needed, however. The boy
or girl faces problems peculiar to no
one else. They are very real, and-how-
ever they may seem to the adult-very
serious. And, because each child thinks
his problems are his alone, never dupli-
Gated, he is sensitive to a very fine de-
gree The parent who fails to recognize
these problems, and who fails to con-
slider them as seriously as does the child,
is bound to lose touch with the younger
member of the family.
Youth today is no better and no worse
than it has ever been A multiplicity Of
interests for adults, on the other hand,
may be taking away from the average
home the comfort and understanding it
should contain.
The greatest problem today is not that
of the boys and girls, it is that of the

Admittedly, Europe is uncomfortable
these days.
Just as uncomfortable, however, are
the American columnists and commen-

writing on economic and political mat

1t used to be that a columnist could
write something, and at least a week

readers would have forgotten what he

NEWS OF EUROPE
IN THE PAPERS
(Oroville Mercury-Register)


Newspapers carry columns of Euro
pean news today whereas in 1914, 25
years ago. they carried paragraphs.
That is because editors of newspapers
know that their readers want that news.
But a large share of the news about
Europe comes in the form of comment
written by men and women who have
studied European affairs and interna-
tional relations. They interpret the news
for the busy American reader.
One paragraph that would be obscure
to the average reader may pack a signifi-
cance of great Importance when related
to other happenings. We recall when, a
week or SO ago Il brief story came that
Polish students had been barred from
the University of Danzig and sign had
been placed reading to the effect that
dogs and Poles were barred.
That brief story brought forth col
umnS of comment for it was followed by
student rioting and news of other anti
German feeling. There was no retribu-
ton from Germany, which in itself was
significant. Germany then was planning
the present coup and didn't want to
face an enemy from behind.
All this was extremely interesting to
US because we know we were drawn into
the previous war and we know that
today we are much more involved with
Europe than we We're 25 years ago. In
those days the kaser's submarines were
menacing our shipping, but there wasn't
any threat TO our relations with the
South American republics through intro
duction of new idology of government.
Mad as the Kaiser was he had not per
petrated the outrages that Hitler seems
continually planning. War then was not
the menace to civilians and cities that it

Famous Sayings

WASHINGTON. - If the business
world is going to get any "appease-
ment" of a financial nature from
the government this spring, it will
almost certainly consist chiefly of
tax revisions.
There is practically no hope of
a substantial cut in government
spending at this time, and anything
remotely like a balanced budget is
out of the question.
Indeed, even the tax revisions
won't add up to so much in actual
dollars and cents. Yet the revisionS
are eagerly awaited, and the slight
est Congressional moves toward
economy are loudly cheered. Prov
ing, no doubt, that it isn't the
money so much as it is the prin-
ciple of the thing.
That, as a matter of fact eX-
presses it perfectly. 1t isn't the
size of the savings or the sums to
be saved through tax revisions that
are important 1t is the simple
fact that some savings and some
reVisions may be made.
For the fiscal year ending next
June, the Treasury Department es-
Inmates that the governments in

Badgeted expenditures for the same
period are roughly $9492 900 600,
