nimrods who were able to bag at least
two were John A. Diller, Floyd Red
dick, Chas. Lloyd, Joe Herman, Peck
Montgomery, O. c. Hursey, Emerson
Niswander, Lloyd Thomas. The fol-
low ing hunters shot one or more
bushy tails: Harvey Bame, John
Garlinger, Clayton Bixel, Lee Hursey,
Link Hauenstein, Dan Tripplehorn,
Harold Wenger and this writer.
John Diller reports he saw strang-
er shoot four fox squirrels from one
tree and o. C. Hursey saw raccoon
and fox squirrel both enter the same
hole in an oak tree and neither came
out again. The housing situation
must be bad out in the woods also.
The fact that the above hunters re-
port good success on the opening day
shows there were a few squirrels left
over from last year.
If the season should show short
age of squirrels for the Bluffton hunt
ing area the sportsmen's club will in
all probability carry out a stronger
restocking program again before next
season.
The past two years have been about
the best squirrel years in this area
for a good many seasons. Several
years ago the sportsmen's club pur-
chased several hundred fox and gray
squirrels from Wisconsin game farm
and released them locally to build up
the squirrel population. This restock-
ing program proved very satifactory,

Industry Committee
Hits u. ). Control Of
Standards for Goods
By the Associated Press.


The Policy Committee on Stand
ards, a group of business and en-
gineering leaders, recommended yes
terday that the development of
standards for consumer goods be
supervised by private organization
instead of the Government.
Charles E. Wilson, president of
the General Electric Co., is chair
man of the committee, which was
appointed last January by Wayne C
Taylor, then Undersecretary OF
Commerce.
The report was made public by
Secretary Of Commerce Wallace. A
Commerce Department spokesman
said the department has the report
under careful consideration.
The committee said standards will
have an ever-increasing importance
and will ultimately affect the pro-
duction and sale of all goods"
1t recommended that formulation
of staudards-for example, standard.
lied definitions, terms, designations
and specifications for merchandise
should be done by private inter
ests, with the American Standards
Association acting as a nationa.
clearing house. This association is q
private group which has some Gov
ernment agencies as members.
The committee recommended that
the American Standards Association
enlarge its scope to take on the
added work.
1t suggests that the National Bu-
reau of Standards, Commerce De-
partment, continue to concentrate
on physical research, development
of testing methods and providing
physical data needed.
1t Is recommended that the Com
merce Department abstain from
promoting new standards on its own
initiative and avoid any attempt tc
compete with the American Stand
ards Association as clearing
house"
