Sentiment on Doe
Season Suggested
By Fulcher Smith
State Commission Member EX'
presses His Views On The
Controversy

A recent statement by Joseph A.
Minle, regional game warden, to the
effect that there was agitation for an
open season on doe deer in Garrett
county, Immediately brought swift
rcbuke from sportsmen of this county
and last Friday the Maryland Game
and Inland Fish Commission entered
the controversy when Fulcher P.
Smith, of Ellerslie, announced his in
terest in getting sentiment of Gar
rctt county sportsmen on the subject.
In a letter to The Republican,
Smith stated that there seems to be
considerable agitation in the press
for and against an open season on
doe in Garrett county. He said no
requests have come to him nor does
he know of any petitions being cir
culatcd
Must Consider Question
However, it affords an opportun-
ity to consider this question" Smith
declared -"First of all ! am interested
in getting the sentiment of Garrett
county sportsmen on this subject for
certainly the residents of Garrett
county have the most accurate opin-
ions of the deer population. And they,
above all, should be given first con-
sideration."
The member of the state commits
sion says he is not clear as to whether
these petitioners want LESS deer in
the woods-or whether they want
MORE bucks.
''If the desire is to reduce the en-
tire deer population in Garrett county
then certainly the quickest and surest
way is to kill off the does" he said.
IF the desire is to get greater per-
centage of bucks than we now have
then we are confronted with a real
problem.
Explains Open Season
at must be rendered that the only
way you can declare an open season
on does is to declare an open season
on antlerless deer. This means that
all young male deer whose horns have
not grown enough to classify them
as spike" bucks are legal game and
the same percentage of them will be
killed as that of the does proper.
This automatically decreases the num-
her of legal bucks for the following
year
by all the laws of average, the
more does there are, the more off
spring there will be and in like pro-
portion the more bucks there will be

establish itself in the broken skin.
Within very short time, there ap-
pears fuzzy white growth. Be-
fore long, the fish has disappeared
The fungus secretes engines
which dissolve the tissues and ab-
sorb the body fluids Actually, this
Is predacious water mold with
white hairlike filaments. These all
purpose filaments are trunk, re-
productive organs and branches
What you see is field of filaments
BY unique series of processes
these fllaments transform into
thousands of embryo Saprolegnia
These tiny villains are provided
with a pair of whiplike oars which
enable them to scoot through the
water rapidly when an ailing fish
comes into their area.
Practically surrounded by fish
neighbors, these young Saprolegnis
do not have to wait long for a host
Perhaps this fungus should not be
given such a bad name. The recov-
cry of wounded fish is most unlikely
There are too many hungry enemies
who are ready to take advantage OF
its helplessness. The fungus does
a cleaner job.
Saprolegnia s closest cousins are
the filamentous green algae,s the
algae you are used to seeing on moist
areas in shady spots and even on
flower pots. But it has other rela-
tives who belong to the torture
gang These fungus enemies attack
animals and birds, and some are in
vaders of human flesh. making life

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Words to Watch.

Overheard in a diner: Waiter,
look at this tablecloth . it's posi-
lively 'grimmy.'" Grimy does not
rhyme with "shimmy." The word
derives from CRIME, not from grim.
The Il" is long. Be sure to say:
GRY-mee.
Overheard in a drugstore: HE
couldn't talk above a whisper
his 'LAHR-nix' was infected" Then,
oddly enough, in the next breath,
the speaker pronounced laryngitis
correctly Note that in the word
larynx the N" does not follow the
r." 1t comes after the vowel ''y"
Also, be sure to pronounce the lar
as in Larry. Say: LAR-ingks.
Overheard in postofiice: Now
be sure to mark it FRAY -jile.'" No
authority sanctions fragile to rhyme
with HAY pile" The first syllable
should rhyme with badge, Madge. /"
The 'i'' is short as in Jill" Often
1t is obScured. Either: FRAJ-ill or
FRAJ-ll is correct.
Overheard in restaurant: "The
B-29s have completely changed our
stra-JET-ic' bombing of Japan. !"
This common error is the result of
looking at the word strategic and
seeing" the spelling as "straeetic, +"
possibly by false association with
such words as energetic and apollo
getic. Do not get the cart before
the horse. Be sure to say: struh-
TEE-jik.
