A Hunting
We Did Go

70. J. Doherty in Missoula County
Times)
Dear Folks:
Like hundreds of others we went
hunting Sunday-theT boy, the dog
and l. We aimed at certain spot
In the Bitter Root and came within
about three miles of finding it. The
early morning fog was heavy, it
logged and frosted the windshield.
At Z a. M it was still heavy When |
we went afield you could not see
more than 20 rods ahead. About 8
a. m. we met a farmer, Mr. Web /
Der who lived in the neighborhood. |
He took us in hand and walked us
over three-fourths of the Bitter |
Root valley. The pheasants seemed |
to know we were coming. We passed
over most likely looking ground but
raised only three pheasants, two OF
which we brought down.
Well, this farmer was a walking
man. remember distinctly when
my feet bega4 to wear off and
was walking on my ankles. About
that time he put on burst OF speed
and / was soon stalking on my shin
bones The boy began to think of
the lunch in the car and the dogs
brown eyes had mournful look
The dog was no more used TO this
than we were and he had four feet
to get sore and four legs to get
cramped and stiff. Finally ! begged
Mr.. Weber to show us the way
back to the car. Il had no idea
where it was but I was convinced
I had walked 1000 miles.) We
reached the car about noon, the
dog, the boy and r We slowly and
YEARLY fell onto the cushions and
reached for the lunch. The dog
groaned as he hauled himself up on
the back seattle was too tired to
eat. We ate lunch and seemed to
recover. We drove on, found an
other likely looking place and re-
peated the performance. This time
we felt like crawling back to the
car on our hands and knees. It We
job to put one foot ahead of IT,
other and the dog was dragging lf1s
belly on the ground. We crawledslnk
to the car, the dog, the boy and I.
We drove home with our two pheas-
ants. We ate another lunch, took hot
baths and were in bed by 7 p. nj.
The resistance Of the human be-
ing is wonderful to- behSlds The
boy and / move about with but an
occasional groan but the poor dog
was out for the count. He slep,
for "a hours and still bends in ev-
cry joint when he walks. He acts
as tho he wondered ii life wal
worth living. He receives the SYM
pathy and attention OF the whelt
family and we hope by the weel
end the twinkle will return to hi.
eyes and he will dare try it again
From all reports guess we hae
the average hunters luck.
Soon the dog, the boy and ! vii
TRY it again.

1t takes morale to meet morale.
Everywhere among the competing
religions that confront Christianity
today, this truth that we are deal
ing with is the basis of effort and
the source of strength. Nazism,
Fascism, Communism-these are
not solitary, lonely, egocentric re-
ligions. They are vast fellowships,
stimulating, demanding, self-forget-
ting, and Christianity cannot meet
them if it remains as so much of
our Professionalism has been, gran
ulated, individualistic, every-man-
