Eye Is Sharper

Not again is the country drab:
not again is the meadow. the
stream, the clump of trees un-
interesting. The eye is sharper.
the ear keener and the heart
more sympathetic. Life is to
be seen where before no life
stirred: a bird sings where no
bird sang: the heart responds in
understanding of the mice in
the nest, of the garter snake
gliding about a messy stump.
Only one unaware might
have walked the woods clearing
with us this week, when snow
lay all about, and have failed to
observe in that sunny space the
dance Of two lovely mourning
cloak butterflies. Soon they had
gone, rising and falling in the
light Of noontime. 1t is not I'M

TO see these colorful creatures.

Educators Help
The program was officially pre-
sented at the sixth North Ameri-
can Wildlife Conference held in
Memphis recently. 1t was the re-
suit of months of study and the
combined thinking of many lead
ing conservationists and educators
throughout the United States.
Speaking at the official launch
ing of the new conservation edu-
cation program, DR.. Ira N. Cab
rielson, chief of the fish and
wildfire service of the department
of interior, said:
There are too many people
In this generation who never
will understand conservation,
but now we have . chance to
educate In greater degree tho
younger generation. As we edu-
cate the children, we win also,
In some measure, educate the
adults, for they win see the
material that children read"
List Titles
The four educational units to
be issued during 1871 win be de-
veloped under the general theme
of MY Land and Your Land Con-
servation Series" according to
George E. Lundy. national direc-
tor of the organization.
Lundy pointed out the philoso-
ply underlying this series or con-
servation booklets Is that conser-
walton is NOT another subject to
be added to the curriculum in the
elementary school, Instead, the
thought is that conservation can
be tied in effectively with other
school subjects. especially with
science or nature study. social
studies, reading languages, art
gardening and handicraft.

If you could get upland game
birds TO fly the same as skeet
targets, then skeet shooters would
be the greatest hunters in the
world. But so far. those pesky
partridge. ducks and pheasants
have a habit of taking wing in an
entirely different angle.
This Sunday the Williams Gun
Club of Dawson is presenting
something they believe will SINH
late bird shooting on a skeet field
closer than anything yet devised.
Instead of clay targets flying Fin
the groove" all targets will be
thrown on a 30 degree variable
angle.
In the past there have been
many attempts TO change skeet
and trap shooting so gunners
could get ideal bird shooting prac-
tee. A couple years ago the Pere
Marquette Rod and Gun Club tried
out convey shooting at their pri-
vate club up on the Pere Marquette
River. They invited some of the
best skeet and trap shots in Michi-
gan, and none of them were able
to turn in a perfect score.

Good Hunting

Four out of every five Of the
1910 deer hunters checked by CCC
boys as they left the CUISINE state
game area at Van Nicer, Creighton
or briggs had bucks, 207 hunters
taking out 1872 deer.

Pay for Coons

The association will ask their
members to try to bring back
coons alive. The club would then
pay each hunter the same that he
would receive for the pelt. for all
uninjured animals. The offer also
would be good to any one, whether
a member of the club or not.
Another obstacle confronting
the sport in Michigan is the lack
of training season for coon
hounds. Unlike bird dogs, they are
not permitted to run their hounds
until the season opens. This means
sacrificing two or three weeks oil
actual hunting. because at that
time they are in no condition to
hunt.

Later in Life

More often II is later in life
that the door swings wide. and
one regrets a little all the sunny
days lost, but quickly forgets in
the joys of a new world today.
Now, the water that gushes
from a chromium faucet in a
city apartment reminds that
somewhere water also rises in
a roadside spring; a potted
primula in a florists window
conjures an image of spotted
cranesbill trembling in winds
that lightly run the Spring
woods.
For the first time one really
sees a wildflower in its exquisite
and fleeing beauty. sees a skein

Countless are the keys that
unlock this world: one may

world. This door to Nature is not
to close again in a lifetime.

Use Two Sets

The Pere Marquette club used
an ordinary trapshooting layout.
but instead of mounting one trap
inside the house, they used two
complete sets equipped for double
shooting. When the trap was
sprung, the shooter did not know
whether one. two. three or four
targets would come out. The
shooter took his position on the
25-yard line, then started walking
toward the trap house.
The trap might be sprung on
the very first step he took. or it
might be necessary for the shooter
to walk the full IS yards and kick
the trap house before the birds
came out.
