Moves at Might

The cottontail rabbit is most
active from dusk to dawn and
usually stays out Of sight at mid
day unless it can move about under
concealing cover.

Birds Missing

We had set out TO see the red
polls. Each. year these dark
striped birds with ruby-red crowns
come down from the North 10
feed and sing in the alder thickets
along the sluggish river. In de-
lection we turned back before we
were within quarter-mile OF
the river bank where these birds
gather in late December.

Don't Mix Breeds

Generally speaking, dogs Of the
same breed get along pretty well
together. if they are made ae-
quainted by easy stages. Dogs OF
different breeds will look at one
another with suspicion unless
raised together from puppyhood
and are likely to cause compiled
tions.
If you can have only two OF
three dogs, and want them TO be
of different breeds. be sure the
breeds are such the dogs have al
least a chance of a peaceful life
Don't expect a fighting breed &c
change its character and get along
like a lamb with another fighting
breed.

Depends on SnoU

AS the Winter, already unusu-
ally severe in some sections, wears
on, the deer making the fight tc
survive will have little to subsist
upon in the heavily populated
yards.
"Much depends on snow Depth"
explains Frank Generou of Nc
MILAN, conservation officer, who
each Winter covers some of the
largest deer yards in his district.
THE heavier the accumulation
of snow, the more deer are
crowded into small areas Be
cause of the deep snow, deer are
prevented from seeking food in
sparcer cover outside the yards
and as a result, soon all avail
able browse is consumed.
"Young deer, the previous
Summers fawns. have the hard
est time Of it," Generou adds.
"Their legs are shorter and they
can't wade the snow. They
aren't tough as older deer,
either, and IL they can't readily
get browse, they simply lie down
and die. Our records reveal
most of the Winter killed deer
are fawns. After they have
survived their first Winter, they
are a pretty safe risk, barring
unusually hard conditions"

FAVOR Cedars

While the majority of the north
ern deer herds Winter in cedar
swamps, some do yard in hard
wood areas provided snow depth
is not too confirming Experts at
the CUISINE deer experiment sta
ton near Singleton in the Upper
Peninsula. have discovered it re-
quires a much larger area to MAIN
tain a given number of deer when
they must live on hardwood alone.
Maple is a favorite hardwood
browse, but even this is found to
be far down on the list in food
value.
In hardwood cover, CUISINE OK
perts found, deer practically lived
on the fat accumulated during the
Summer. On the other hand, in
good cedar browse, which is by far
the deer's favorite Winter feed,
they have little difficulty in hold
ing their weight, thus being well
able to stand severest Winter
weather.

Simpsons Resignation
Held Victory for Dewey
ey tie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Repre-
sentative-elect Kenneth F. Simp-
son resigned last night as chairman
of the New York County Repub-
Ncan Committee in a move that
political leaders interpreted as an
intraparty victory for the forces OF
District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey.
Previously, Mr.. Simpson had lost
his Republican National Committee
post and State Craftsmanship to the
Dewey bloc. He bolted the district
attorney during the pre-primary
presidential campaign and came out
for the nomination of Wendell L.
Willkie. A.t. tt.'
Mr.. Simpson was reported to have
told closed meeting of the county
Executive Committee that his du-
ties as Representative would pre-
clude his continuance as county
chairman and that his resignation
would be effective upon the election
of successor.
Mr.. Simpson was elected to the
congressional seat vacated by Repre-
sentative Bruce Barton, who ran un-
successfully for Senator in Novem-
ber. His term as county chairman
would have expired next September
