couraging. Almost one half of the
states fail to keep even such a
simple record as the number of
fatal and serious nonfatal hunting
accidents occurring within their
borders. Over rs per cent of the
states keep no record at ALI
Those states which have made
an extra effort to reduce hunting
hazards and which keep data on ali
accidents, have some of the best
safety records in the country.
If all states compiled accident in
formation, and exchanged it free
w in a national safety proqrano
the number of hunting accidents
could be greatly reduced.
1t is, OF course, indisputable that
hunting safety is a state problem
Nevertheless, state safety com
mittees by analyzing the causes of
gun mishaps and coordinating their
efforts should be able to bring con
siderable improvement to the ma
tional hunting accident picture.
But the individual hunter must
do his part by taking greater pre-
caution than ever. Remember that
is the greatest killer
of all (For example, in Colorado
go per cent of the accidents were
caused by careless handling of wea-
pons in or near automobiles-n0t
in the field.) Be sure that what YOU
shoot at is game, not your hunting
partner Leave your bottle home.

Vets Held Liable
For g. /. Tuition

Veterans studying in school or
college under the C. l. Bill are re-
minded by the Veterans Admins
tration that the VA now holds them
legally liable for repayment of tut
ton for classes they do not attend
A recent ruling, the VA explains,
holds that veterans who drop from
school before the end of a term or
semester for which the VA has al
ready paid their tuition must re-
fund the unused amount of tuition
or sacrifice an equivelant amount
of G. l. training entitlement
Veterans who drop from school
before the VA must pay full tut

 WASHINGTON - For more than two weeks before last Tuesdays stunning election upset. the hand writing was right there on the wall for all to see.
 It was Alaska's Democratic vote in the Territorial election of oc- tober 12.
 Although the Territories do not vote for President, Alaska for the past 32 years always has called the turn by choosing a delegate to Congress from the party that has gone on to win the presidency.
 This year was no exception, and the far-north voters refused to put in Republican replacement for Democrat E. L. Bartlett, the delegate coming back for third term

 Three other ballot barometers Idaho, West Virginia and Missouri came up with accurate forecasts to maintain their high ratings. The Potato State hasn't been wrong since it missed out with William Jennings Bryan in 1900. Missouri, likewise, has swung with the victory parade A years, start ing with Teddy Roosevelt in 1904.
 West Virginia has supported only two losers in the last 16 presiden- tial elections, losing with Cleve- land in 1888 and splitting it's cleo toral vote ' to 1 for Hughes in 1916.

ert P. Allen of the National Aud ubon Society, was the most in- tensiye ever made on the far north's waterfowl breeding ground.
 While saying the waterfowl pop ulations compared fayorably with those in southern Canada, the agency added:
 "The greatest percentage of the ducks observed were non-game birds - the slow-flying or fish eating seoters. old-squaw and king elders.
 "Mallards and pintails, the most important game species in the United States, made up a small percentage of the ducks in the area.
 The vast far north breeding grounds still remain unstudied. A comprehensive estimate of duck populations can be made only by broadening the forthcoming sur veys to include other regions in northeastern Alaska and Canada's northwest territories"
 The two scientists flew 14,272 miles over the Athabaska delta, the Great Slave Lake parklands, the valley and delta of the Mac Kenzie River. the Yukon Terri tory's Old Crow Flats, and the Arctic coastLine from Point Rar- row, Alaska eastward to Bath hurst Inlet in Canada.
 The density of ducks in the sur yey ranged from 56 per square mile on the Old Crow Flats to less than four per square mile in the upland tundra country south of Point Barrow.

item.
 Items that will not be available Tor shipment without individual export applications being granteI are: butter, ham, bacon and flour
 Brighton said that Canada can not ship any butter due to the present short supply of that com- modity. He said that the question of exportation of ham and bacon was under consideration, but per mits are being withheld until it is decided how much has to be shipped to the United Kingdom.
 The question of flour. Brighton said, is not one of supply, but be- cause Canada is subsidizing flour production for the Canadian mar ket, so that before permit is granted, it would be necessary to make sure that the subsidy was refunded to the Canadian Wheat Board.
 Brighton said that once the sub sidy is refunded, an export permit is readily available.

Priests Completing
Modernized Version
|0f Old Testament
BY the Associotsd Press

YONKERS, N. Y, Sept. 3.-A new
modern-English translation of the
Old Testament is being produced
by the Roman Catholic Church to
replace a text in use since 1909.
The Rev. Stephen J. Hartdegen
said yesterday the project is nearly
complete.
He is secretary of a committee OF
80 scholars who have been working
for the last five years on transla
tions of ancient Hebrew, Aramaic
and Greek manuscripts.
Copies Given to Pope.
New versions of the Book of Gen.
eSis already have been printed, and
two copies have been presented to
Pope Plus XII. General publica-
ton will begin Tuesday.
Father Hartdegen said the mod
ernized Old Testament will replace
the Douay version which Catholics
have used for more than 300 years
Such words as thou" and thee
are being eliminated from the new
version and replaced with the mod
ern pronoun you" THY" becomes
your in the new version and see
is substituted for behold"
