LICENSE REQUIRED
IF YOU HUNT, SAYS
GAME WARDEN

The general hunting season for
squirrels, rabbits, quail and
grouse open Friday, Nov. goth.
All persons, regardless of age,
are required to have hunting Ii
censes when hunting off their
own premises with firearms.
An erroneous idea prevails in
some sections that if hunters
have permission of land owners
to hunt on their lands that licen-
ses are not required. The law ex-
pressly provides that any person
hunting off his own premises
must have license. Permits from
land owners only guarantee the
hunter against charges Of tres
passing on enclosed lands used
for cultivation.

ARMY ORDNANCE.
 PROGRAM SAVES VITAL METALS

Atlanta, Ga. October 20 - (UP) important discoveries-some too vital to talk about" = have been made since Uncle Sam started us- ing substitutes for critical mater ials in Army supplies, officials of the Fourth Service Command re- vealed.
 For instance, the Ordnance De- partment is now using plastics for aluminium in trench mortar fuses. Efficiency experts says that this will release 35,000,00o pounds of alum. mum for other uses by the end of 1943.
 Of more significance, they re- ported, is the fact that plastic fuses can be moulded and require little or no machining, thus releasing valuable machine tools for other war duties.
 Under the Army conservation program every item which contains critical metal is studied for poSsi- ble replacement with substitutes. If practicable, the substitute then is demanded in manufacturing speci- f1cations.
 This conservation plan, Army leaders believe, will save more than 62,000,000 pounds of tin and alum mum by the end of 1943.
 Redesign plays an important part in the conservation effort ac- cording to the experts. It already has materially reduced the amount of tin used in packing boxes fo, ammunition.
 Chromium steel liners are now used in place of timed copper ir snlokeless powder boxes. Tin used in the solder for signal flares has been reduced 20 per cent without reducing their effectiveness.
 Substitutes for aluminium in or dinance manufacture are now useo in everything from small screws tc large assemblies. It's all a part o1 the great American goal to bring the Axis to their knees.

day" Which may be British = but is true.
 It is tough problem to strike balance between giving them the American equipment they need to hold the firing lines, while at the same time equipping the American men they need to help them drive those firing lines forward.
 DON'T MAINTAIN
 TYPES IN USE
 Another complication Is that. as we gradually limit our equipment to fewer types, we drop some types we have supplied to the British; yet we don't provide for supplying spare parts to keep those older types in service until we can replace them with newer. The British object understandably.
 Now both sides are right, but the two different rightnesses need to be reconciled. American ofd- cers need to be bit less narrow in their Americanism; a bit less suspicious of British who. after all, are fighting Hitler while we train to fight him.
 British officers need to avoid appearance of ulterior motives. to
