Hunting Season Tentatively to Open
Nov Is; Length, Bag Limits Not Set

which is no change over the 1947
season.
The grounding was given
closed season of March l to June
Is, both dates inclusive, for the
main portion of the breeding
period for 1949 but shorter by
two months than this year,
which is March l to August Is.
The commission approved tent
atiVely an open season on deer
for 1948 but tabled the matter
of setting dates and regulations
until the September meeting. DR..
E. d. Martin, chief of the game
management section, reported to
the commission that the official
deer kill for the l947 fiVe-day
season was 995 but also reported
that almost 800 deer have been
killed on the highways and rail
roads in northeastern Ohio in the
last six months indicating that
there is still a large deer popula-
ton in that part of the State.
Conservation Commissioner H.
A. Rider told the commission
that reports reaching his office
indicate that the deer population
in the northeastern counties will
support twice as many hunters
and twice the number of hunt
ing days of last years season.

year period.
The survey originally was re-
quested by Governor Herbert to
determine the States highway
needs. The commission referred
the matter to a subcommittee
headed by Harold Houston, Ur-
bana attorney and former speaker
of the Ohio House of Representa-
tiveS.
Houston recommended on be-
half of his committee that the
foundation be entrusted with the
two-year survey. The commission
accepted the recommendation.
The federal funds already have
been appropriated while the State
funds will be made available by
the Highway Planning Division.
Acceptance of the program
meant the rejection of proposal
submitted by the Ohio Contract
Carriers Association, Inc.
The carriers proposed a ten
year $148,OO0,0O0 program with a
one-cent increase in State gaso-
line tax.
The primary highway system
embracing Also miles on 81 major
roads was given as the nucleus of
the program which was presented
by Ralph w. Sanborn, of Colum-
bus.
Sanborn urged that all rights OF
way be purchased in the future
and all new bridges be wide
enough for future expansion and
that all berms be a minimum
width of fifteen feet on each side
at pavement level.

Ohio Conservation and Natural
Resources Commission at the
June meeting in Columbus last
week named Nov. Is as the tenta-
tive opening date for the 1943
hunting and trapping season, but
deferred setting the length of the
season, bag limits and daily hours
until a later meeting when more
information on the game popula-
ton is available.
Expressing the general feeling
of the commission members,
Emory R. Beetham, Cleveland,
said, eve should set the dates,
hours and bag limits only when
we can determine as accurately
as possible what the game crop
in the field actually is like; and
this" he said, cannot be COM
plete until surveys now in pro-
greSs are finished"
The commission officially con-
firmed September Is to 30, both
dates inclusive, as the open sea-
son on squirrel for all 88 counties
with a possession limit of four
and daily bag limit four, no
change over last year.
There will be no open season

Leach Seeks Sum
Held Up over
Bad Paving Job
Attorney Writes
To Council About 1t;
Will Drain Pond Area

This Village is faced with Court
action for $4,000 unless Council
pay the G.. H. Leach Construction
Co. the balance of approximately
that sum which is due him on
the Maple st. storm sewer pro-
ject, Mayor G.. L. Kingsmore told
members of Council during their
regular meeting, last Thursday.
The information was contained
in a letter received by the Mayor
from C. A. Hopes, attorney for
Leach. The contractor demands
the full amount of his contract
price, or he will sue the city for
it, Mr.. Hopes wrote.
The amount of money in ques-
ton was withheld by Council be-
cause members felt that the re-
surfacing job which Leach did
on Maple ST., from w. Seventh
north is not satisfactory The
east side of the street, where the
storm sewer was laid, is rough,
uneven and going to pieces, the
Solons point out. In one place on
Maple ST., between w. Sixth and
w. Seventh sts., there is ridge
which appears to be more than
a foot high, running down the
center of what was the sewer
trench.
No Action Taken
Council took no action in the
matter of the threatened suit af-
ter hearing it read by Mayor
Kingsmore.

stallation of sewer to drain the

Comic Page Characters Lend Services
To Help Teach Tro1a1c Safety in Books


Some of Americas most famous
comic page characters, in cooper
alton with Ohio's automobile
dealers, will help save lives in a
unique comic book devoted en-
tirely to traffic safety.
Ray Brandenburg, Washington
c. H., president of the Ohio Aut-
omobile Dealers Assn, announced
today that the comic books will
bear the title, "It's Fun To Stay
Alive" 1t will be distributed to
children and adults at automobile
show rooms, county fairs, through
schools and schoolboy safety pa
trolls.
Although the comic book was
originated as safety education
promotion of the Ohio association,
it will be distributed by auto
mobile dealers throughout the ma

ers Assn, Brandenburg said. Sc
veral million copies will be given
away.
Drawings Contributed
Special drawings for the book,
featuring such familiar comic
characters as Henry, Bugs Bunny,
Dixie Dugan and Joe Jinks, were
contributed by the artists and
their syndicates.
Newspapers have established
the comic strip as such a power
full educational medium that we
concluded comic book would be
one of the best possible tech
niques for traffic safety educa-
tion," the DADA president de-
clared.
Governor Thomas J. Herbert,
honorary chairman of the Ohio
Traffic Safety Council, stated
that the comic book lis really an
amazing publication"
"Ohio's automobile and truck
dealers, and the artists who con-
tributed are to be commended for
developing this refreshing and
common sense approach to traffic
safety" the governor said. "Ohio
has for some time been endeavor-
ing to develop traffic safety con-
ciousness among its citizens. The
fact that distribution of the comic
book has been adopted as safety
project by the automobile deal
ers throughout the nation is fine
tribute to members of the Ohio
Automobile Dealers Association" T"
