Hold Your Fire

Imperial Valley farmers are
wondering if they may expect the
usual barrage when dove season
opens next week. The war, many
of them hope, will curtail the ac-
tivities of the dove hunters who in
the past have made the farmers
lives downright horrid by firing
wildly in the direction of the farm
er, his family, his livestock, and his
poultry.
Not all hunters are wild, to be
sure. Some of them are sports
men who believe in behaving in a
sportsmanlike manner
There have been times, you know,
when dove seasons was harder on
the farmers than it was on the
doves.
And we like fried dove, too.

Despite the desperate Soviet re-

forced earlier contingents in ad-

came. Observers expressed be-
