Opening Of Big Game
Season Awaited Here
NinirOds viii Take to the
Woods Sunday for TO-
Day Shoot.

Ely hunters, their number
expected to be swelled by many
from out of the city, are await
ing the opening of the Today
big game season Sunday.
The first in two years, the open
season will permit each hunter to bag
one deer. Bear may also be shot, and
there is no limit upon them. The
season closes Nov. Is.
The reported abundance of deer
promises to make the hunting the
most successful in many years, and
indications are that a large number
of nimrods will be out despite the
fact that many of the ardent fol-
lowers of the sport are now in the
army cunning for bigger and far more
important game.
The only thing to be desired by the
deer-steak hungry sportsmen is a
fresh fall of snow Saturday night so
that the animals can be easily located
from their tracks and trailed to
choice shooting grounds. A tempera-
ture of no higher than Is for the
next few weeks is also hoped for SO
that the meat can be properly kept.
A check of local business firms,
hotels, and sportsmen indicates that,
while the number of hunters may be
curtaiIed somewhat, there will be
near-recOrd turnout for the season.
One hotel expects to be completely
reserved by out-of-town hunters. A
business firm which sold $50 small
game licenses last year and has nearly
equalled that figure this year expects
the purchase of big game licenses 20
follow a similar trend.
The fact that this will be one of
the last excursions possible before
mileage retioning starts may add to
the number of hunters.
During the past two weeks many
local hunters have been getting their
cabins in shape for the opening of
the season.
While it is practically impossible to
purchase ammunition, it is believed
that all nimrods have sufficient
supply on hand for the big game sea-
son.
Rifles of a caliber smaller than %
or any other caliber using a cartridge
less than IL inches in length cannot
be used for hunting big game. 1t is
permissible to hunt with shotguns
using single slug, but buckshot or
finer shot is prohibited. A resident OF
Minnesota may ship one deer to him.

but he may not transport it out of the

Music Ban Lands Back
in Lap Of New Deal
BY WESTBROOK PEGLER

BY WESTbkOOk PEGLER
ISN'T it amusing that all the
= indignation over the forbid
dance of further manufacture
of canned music for use on the
radio and in the jocks is directed
at Jimmy Petrillo, the dictator
OF the so-called musicians union,
when MIR. Jimmy is merely exer-
cising powers winch were placed
in his hands by the New Deal,
confirmed bv decisions of the
New Deals Supreme Court and
protected against legislative i'm
pairment by the New Deals
political agents in Congress and
specifically in the labor commit
tee of the Senate?
That is pretty large and
lumpy thought so 1 will break
it up.
Mr.. Jimmy is a Chicago pol
itician under the leadership of
Ed Kelly, and is musician only
TO the extent that he played a
trumpet in the newsboys' band
of the Chicago Daily News many
years ago.
He is, reported TO get $4,000
a year. The fact is that in addi-
ton he has expense allowances
and other valuable considers-
tions.
He has little truck with the
bosses of the other big combina-
tons. Under the terms OF his
unions constitution he can
maintain himself in office until
he dies fer he has the right to
suspend any part or all of the
constitution at will. He can cali
off elections and fire out of the
union any rival officer who gets
ambitious.
