PASTOR WOOD I5 BACK HOME AFTER
 LONG FLYING TRIP

Pastor H L. Wood, Alaska's Fly ing Bishop, returned to the Sev- enth-Day Adventist Mission head quarters yesterday after an ab- sence of two and one-half months from Juneau.
 In making this trip throughout the Territory, the Mission Super intendent used the Mission airplane, three-place Fairchild equipped with floats, furnished him for his administrative transportation by the Mission two years ago.
 In making this trip of inspection of the Seyenth-Day Adventist Churches, hospitals and other Mis- sion interests, Pastor Wood flew TYPO miles in the ten weeks trip. Besides this he furnished several thousand passenger miles air trans portation for Mission and hospital employees in the service of the Church.
 NId1N DtttiUDo ioitCu The trip included the Anchorage Cook Inlet district, all of the Bris- tol Bay area, the Kuskokwim, Yu- kon River, Interior, Nome, and Sishmaref in the Arctic, and a 26- day stay at Gambell on St. Law renee Island, only 35 miles from Siberia.
 This trip, Pastor Wood states, would previously have taken one year to make and at many times the cost, had he stopped at all the places he did and visit, with the Mission owned airplane.
 At no time was the Flying Bishop" in a tight spot or in dan ger No trouble was encountered on the entire trip as the airplane and motor performed perfectly. The most exciting moment of the trip was when arriving at Nome on June l he found only grinding ice pack as far as eye could reach and the Nome River so low that a landing in it was out of the question
 Hazardous Landing
 After circling the waterfront for some time, Pastor Wood located a small lead between the icebergs in front of the Nome jetty caused by the water from the Snake River outlet. With landing flaps on full, the Pastor made powerstall land ing in this short patch of clear water and taXied into the lagoon in safety. The Nomeites were in- deed surprised to have a float equipped airplane land in that vii cinity so early, The first ships from Seattle for the year were two weeks away, prevented from going in because of the ice pack Flies to Skagway
 The Mission Superintendent looks tired and lost 21 pounds during his lengthy trip and is glad to be back in Juneau. However, after refueling the plane, he took Mrs Wood and flew to Skagway at once, where they met Dr. David Hoehn in counciltation, and Dr. Hoehn returned with them to Juneau last evening. Dr. Hoehn, who is the Medical Superintendent of the Mat anuska Valley Hospital at Palmer, returned to Palmer via Fairbanks today on PA plane.
 disqualification
 Pastor Wood reports marked ad- vance in all Mission lines. The new pastorate at Homer is finished and the church is now under con- struction. The Seldovia Hospital is now staffed and the facilities crowded to capacity. The Matan-

period.
In the second quarter Bluffton re-
mained in the running, altho on the
short end of a "a TO IT halftime
score. st. Johns widened its margin
in the third period when the John

was getting only six.
1t was in the last quarter that
Bluffton's defense collapsed, and the
Lima outfit poured 10 points thru
the nets in that period as the Pi-

1914 Buckeye Quarry Fishing
Contests Ends

The fishing contest conducted at the
Buckeye Quarry this year officially
ended on November Is. The contest
sponsored by the club with the cooper
alton of merchants and firms proved
to be bell-ringer and created a great
deal of interest for fishermen of the
area.
Forty-nine of the thousands of le-
gal size fish released in the quarry
by the club in 1943 were tagged on
the gill cover with metal tags contain
ing numbers. The club officers and
merchants offered cash and merchan-
disc TO the lucky angler able to snag
finny creature bearing a tag.
In the contest all children up to 16
years of age were permitted to fish
without being a club member. All
club members were entitled to partici-
pate in the conest and state fishing
regulations were observed.
Those who hooked one or more tag
ged fish emitting them to prizes were:

Rawson Will Oppose Bluffton
High Cagers Here Saturday Night

Bluffton High cagers will make
their first home appearance of the
season next Saturday night when
they play Rawson on the Bluffton
court.

last Friday, Buttons inexperience
showed its effect as the Johnnies
won, 50 to. 81, and Coach A. C.
Burcky is hard at work with his
squad this week in an attempt to
iron out many of the weak spots ap-
parent in the showing.
Rawson has not yet got into ac-
tion this year, and little is known
of the strength of the team the
neighboring school will put on the
floor against the Pirates Saturday
night.
Following the Rawson assignment,
Buttons next game also will be
played at home with Lima South

inroads of a number of fox, farmers
of that community report. Varon
Tallman killed red fox on the OPEN
ing of the hunting season near Ada.
]. J. Eoff also bagged ten pound fox
northeast of Bluffton.
A fox will destroy great number
of pheasants and rabbits in a years
time and evidently it is up to the
sportsmen to solve the problem. Mem
bers of the Conservation Department
make the statement that if the sports
men in the areas having a concentra-
ton of pheasants expect to continue
with good pheasant hunting a great
effort will have to be made by sports
men of the locality to eradicate the
predators.
Already the Bluffton sportsmen's
club has taken action for the control
of predators and Harold Montgomery,
director in charge of predator control,
announces the bounty on hawks and
crows has been raised recently to 80
cents apiece for the heads of any of
these birds.
Last week end Russell Montgomery,
Wilbur Niswander and George Combs
saw big red tailed hawk nab a rab-
bit and attempted to tear it to pieces.
The men jumped from the car and
the bird dropped the quarry and flew
away The rabbit was badly injured
and. had its side ripped open from the
encounter with the hawk. The bird
lit in a tree nearby and Montgomery
killed it with his rifle. Combs was
fortunate to have his camera along
and took a picture of the hawk at the
scene of action.

Mm-but not fair!

And conserve the coal he is able to
deliver to you through firing carefully,
closing off unused rooms, pulling down
shades at night and through other simple
precautions. For other suggestions see
your coal dealer.
One of the biggest jobs of the C&O
Lines is hauling coal from the mines
along its routes, so we're in a position
to understand the problem, and to know
how essential coal is these days.

Putnam Sportsmen Clubs Offer
Bounty For Fox

bOuAls TUT On
A bounty of $5 for each fox killed
in Putnam county has been offered by
Sportsmen's clubs of the county, it
was announced recently. Six game
associations of the county are sup
porting the program. Anyone killing
fox should take it to a certifying
agent of one of the clubs participating
in the offer before the animal has been
skinned. 1t will be marked and the
marksman given a certificate after
which the animal will be returned to
the owner for disposition.
Allen county sportsmen also are be-
coming much concered over the ap-
pearance of number of foxes in our
pheasant areas. 1t is a known fact
that predators of all types, principally
foxes and hawks, congregate in areas
where there is game concentration.
Hawks have been numerous for years
and are steadily increasing, but this
season in particular there has been a
pronounced increase of foxes in the
area.
Many of these destructive animals
have been seen since pheasant season
opened. In the past few days red
fox was seen on the Homer Gratz
farm. Mrs. Gratz saw a dog chase
the animal across an open field. Last
week Bob Coon and Cy Springer each
shot fox in that vicinity and c. c.
Knots of Lima saw another while
pheasant hunting. Two foxes were
seen on the Morris Anderson and Irwin
Hilty farms near Pandora last Friday
by hunters. Shirl Hatfield of Pandora
spotted a red fox near the Karoff and
Fred Grismore farms near Pandora.
He also saw small red fox dead
along a fence row. Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Balmer of Bluffton have frequently
seen a red fox stink down the sidewalk
in front of their home on South Main
street. The animal in nearly every
instance heads for a woodlot back of
their home when startled.
Pheasants in sections of Hardin
county are scarce this year due to the
