ANNUAL, MEETING for tbo die

cussiOn Of game laws and rcgula-
tions was held in the district four
office, Cambridge, Sunday, April
Is. The three, items that drew the
most discussion were the season
on rabbits, whether to take the
fox off the vermin list and put il
IN the hands Of the Division of
Conservation for regulation, and
the matter Of raising the hunting
licenses to $500. On the rabbit
season, they claimed that too
many people did not get to 60
hunting at all because Of having
to quit at 400 o'clock. They
claimed that a couple hours
longer in the evening would be
better and that more licenses
would be sold. Some even favored
shortening the number of days
and lengthening the hours and
some favored cutting the bag
| limit and lengthening the hours.
The subject of putting the fox
back on the game list was
/ favored by those who claimed
that too many people were hunt
ing on Sunday but when appre-
hended said they were hunting
fox. Ii it were on the game list
they could still have open season

that Wednesday was the day COM
pany commanders met with the
colonel at regimental headquar-
tiers. Our company commander
usually caught hell at these meet
ings, whereupon he would return
to the company area, Chew out"
the first sergeant and start posting
new company orders and regu-
lations..
Comparing graphs among the
men of the outfit brought out
other, more subjective develop
ments.
A number of men reported that
January was bad month for them,
in fact had always been, even in
civilian life. Most of the graphs
seemed to take a dive about
the middle of the month and
stayed down for a number of
days following.
A corporal came up with the in
teresting hypothesis that the
January slump was due to the
widespread practice of making
New Years resolutions. For the
first part of the month, the in
dividual, buoyed by his good in
tentions, felt exhilarated. But as
his will began to weaken and his
good resolutions were successfully
broken, the man grew more and
more discouraged and disappoint-
ed by his own lack of will power
and determination.
No Sense Of Progress
"A SOMEWHAT similar discovery
was made about birthdays. Several
men agreed they often felt vaguely
unhappy on their birthdays and
Immediately thereafter. Some be-
lieved it was the realization that
they were one year older and still
separated from their friends and
families, with reunion no nearer
than it had appeared to be the
previous year.
In civilian life, they said, a
mans birthday made him feel that
he was steadily growing older,
without seeming to be making
much progress toward the goals he
had set for himself in life.
Scientific or not, our hobby
of keeping charts brought a
great deal of satisfaction to us
overseas. Our organization re-
manned as a unit, with little change
in personnel, from training days in
the States through many months
of service overseas.
Naturally, that brought about

mel. Every man knew every other
man in the outfit, knew him as
few men in civilian life know each
other.
Thus it was without much
embarrassment that one of us,
working on his graph at night,
would ask, "Hey, Charlie, how

charts grew to be sort of a game
with us, like crossword puzzles, in
which we all chimed in from time
to time.

KEEPING up the chart became so
much a part of me that l continued
it in civilian life. One day / told
friend about my hobby. Not only
didn't he like the idea, he actually
considered it dangerous to mental
health and a menace to my peace
of mind.
Look, he said, the way to be
happy is not to keep thinking
about yourself. Happy people are
those who have succeeded in
forgetting all about them
selves most of the time.''
My friends opinion seemed so
logical that it disturbed my faith
in the whole business. After null

for some time. / consulted one
of New York's outstanding psy-
chiatrists.

we adult Americans need is more
introspection, more looking at
ourselves" he observed.
Dome Blame Themselves
"ANYrHINc that causes US to
study ourselves more carefully is
all to the good. The mentally sick
rarely realize that there is any,
thing wrong with them. They are
inclined to blame anything or any
body rather than realize it might
be they themselves - their moods
and their ups and downs - that
are responsible for their mental
discomfort"
That was all the encourage
ment / needed. I'm still keeping
it up.
And I'm convinced that paying
some thoughtful attention to the
state of your mind - trying to
graph your life - can be an alb
sorbing hobby and valuable help
to daily living. The End

Author of Book on Wild FLOWERS
To Receive Honorary Doctor Degree

Joseph E. Harmed, pharmacist,
whose hobby resulted in the publ
cation of the book, "Wild Flowers Of
the Alleghanies," which has had
wide usage throughout this area, will
be honored by West Virginia Wes-
leyan college, Buckhannon, at COM
mencement exercises on May %.
At this time Mr.. Harmed will re
ceive the honorary degree of Doctor
of Science. His election to this
honor came at meeting of the Board
of Trustees at a meeting in Parkers-
burg on March A, but official noti-
fication did not come until this week
from w. j. Scarborough, president
of the college.
Mr.. Harmed expects to go to
Buckhannon that day, as it is rule
of the college that those receiving
honorary degrees must appear in
person.
This unusual honor will be con-
ferred just seventeen years after the
publication of his first edition in
1881. In that year the ambition in
early childhood to make a thorough
study Of the wild flowers of this sec
ton and complete a book which would
be unique in it's treatment of the sub
ject, was realized
Mr.. Harmed gives credit to his
mother in the preface of his book
Sin whose garden of flowers, tenderly
cared for, | was taught to appreciate
the beauties Of nature; to lend q
listening ear to the voice of sweet
singing birds; to patiently observe
the bees, butterflies and other insects
in their visitations among tins
flowers"
Entering the drug business in 1890
after having been reared on a farr1
in the Promised Land section of the
county, Mr. Harmed spent most oi
his leisure for 35 years in his associ-
alton with wild flowers.
