37,282 Deer Hunters
During 1947 Season

Thirty-seven thousand, two hun
dred and eighty-two deer hunters
were in the field during the IT.
day 1947 open season, Thomas L.
Kimball, State Game and Fish Di-
rector, reported today. Kimball
said that tabulation of data on
the 1947 season has been completed
by o. N. Arlington, Big Came
Supervisor, indicating a 20 per
cent increase in number of hunt
ers over the 1916 season.
The 1947 deer hunters had a sue
cess ratio of d per cent, as COM
pared to the 20.5 per cent success
of 30,824 deer hunters in 1916.
Total stake" of deer for 1947 was
1914.
Kimball said that the data was
possible as "a result Of the high
percentage of cooperation on the
part of Arizona hunters in sub
mitting hunter report cards. This
system has been in effect for two
years and is providing the most
complete information of its kind in
Arizona history. Only two other
states, Pennsylvania and Mime
sofa, get similar data on their hunt
ing effort.
Arlington, who is responsible for
management of all big game in the
state, instituted the project in 1916
and reports that the high percent
age of cooperation from hunters is
providing information on Arizona
deer herds which will lead to bet
ter game management procedures
designed to improve hunting con-
ditions.
Arlington said that comparison
of data for the two-year period
produced some amazing similari-
ties in various percentages. For
instance, he said, between 8 and
per cent of eligible hunters do not
hunt; 79 per cent hunt unsuccess-
fully, and approximately 20 to 81
per cent of those who do hunt
actually bring home deer. He out
lined the method of securing this
information, stating that each eli
gible deer hunter is provided with
a self-addressed, pre-stamped hunt
er report card upon which a few
Eyes or no" type questions are
printed. Arlington said that not
all the hunters submit their report
cards voluntarily. Those who do
include most of those who were
successful hunters. To those who
fail to report, the game depart
ment sends reminder cards, at con-
siderable expense, time and effort.

Francisco Vasquez de Coronado,
who in 1540 led an expedition from
Mexico City to what is now north
ern Arizona in search of the fabled
Seven Cities of Cibola."
An authority on Indians in the

to photograph the all-Indian Pow
Wow at Flagstaff July 3-5.
Assisting him in making arrange
ments for the documentary film,
which will be used in conjunction
with his regular lecture series, is
the Phoenix Chamber of Com
merce.
The movie on Coronado's expe-
dition will show many of the sights
seen by the force of cavalry and
foot soldiers who made the arduouS
journey, and will also show things
they missed. The completed film
will cover geological, botanical,
biological and historical phases,
with shots of cacti, cliff dwellings,
the Grand Canyon, Monument Val
ley, bird and animal life in this
region, Meteor Crater, the ice caves
and many other sights which have
become tourist attractions.

G. [. Insurance
Dividend Situation

The recent announcement from
Washington, D. c., to the effect
that the Supreme Court had
thrown out far-reaching veterans
life insurance claim which has been
credited with holding up the pay
ment of dividends on CT insurance,
is bringing flood of inquiries to
VA officials as to when the holders
of National Service Life Insurance
policies will be receiving dividends.
Mr.. I. B. Alkire, Regional In
Surance Officer, Veterans Admins
tration, Phoenix, Arizona, calls at
tention to the fact that statisticians
must check some 100000 policies
held by approximately 100000
servicemen and veterans, 7 which
work may take at least a year. All
letters and other inquiries con-
cerning the dividends must be
answered and this, of course, will
delay the computation of the di-
vidends and it is therefore sug-
geSted that these inquiries be held
to a minimum.
The amount of dividends will
depend on three things, namely,
the amount of insurance taken out,
the age of the insured, and the
length of time the insurance has
been carried. No attempt has been
made to estimate the amount of
the dividends, but they should be
about equal to dividends paid by
commercial mutual life insurance
companies.
Every holder of National Service
Life Insurance policies, whether it
has been continued in force as
term insurance, converted into
permanently policy, or allowed to
lapse will be entitled to a divi-
dend, whether large or small. The
dividend will not be taxable, and
once these back dividends have
been paid, future dividend pay
ments will be forthcoming each
year.
No information other than that
given above is available at this
time, and it is suggested that all
holders of National Service Life
Insurance policies be patient until
the dividends are forthcoming.

Handicapped Boys
And Girls Attending
Easter Seal Camps

Northern Arizona recently well
coined for the fifth season young
handicapped boys and girls who
are attending the Arizona Society
for Crippled Children's Easter Seal
Camps. Ten severely handicapped
boys started their summer activities
at the Children's Retreat in Pres
cott under the direction of Mrs
Eula Combs and staff of compe-
tent assistants.
Thirteen ambulatory girls from
five counties in the state are en-
joying the first session for handi-
capped girls at Camp Wamatochick
the Camp Fire Girls Camp, in the
Groom Creek area. These girls were
followed by the first contingent OF
boys who will be attending the Sky
Y Camp, the Phoenix Y.M.C.A. IA
cilitieS in the same area.
Activities vary with the type OF
handicap for the youngsters, ac-
cording to William F. Hauser, Ex-
ecutive Director of the Society, who
directs the Easter Seal Camps.
At the Retreat less strenuous ac-
tivities are participated in by chill
dren who are in wheelchairS or
wearing heavy braces. One of the
highlights of this camp was the trip
to the opening day of the Prescott
Frontier Days celebration. Two
boxes were reserved for the Grip
pied children by the Frontier Day
Committee, and they whoped and
hollered along with the cowboys
cheering on their own rodeo fav-
orites. Along with pop, ice cream
and pop corn a tired group OF
youngsters hit the hay after their
big day at the rodeo. A visit to a
real camp fire program and a cook
out will finish the program.
The girls and boys at Camp
Wamatochick and Sky Y Camps
participate in practically all of the
camp programs, according ito their
doctors orders, even going on ov-
ernight hikes through the use OF
the Society's station wagon. For
those who cannot take part in the
more strenuous sports, substitute
activities are provided such as ma
ture study field trips and handi-
crafts.
Over a period of several years in
which these camps have been con-
Quoted they have proved them
selves beneficial. For normal chill
dren camping is much more than ia
vacation in the woods away from
home. For the handicapped it opens
new horizons of living, which would
otherwise be denied them. In so
doing, the camp fills the gap of
social and educational development
so urgently needed by these boys
and girls.
When the camps close at the end
of July an estimated 80 handi-
capped boys and girls will have en-
joyed and benefited from a camp
ing experience. All this has been
made possible by public contribu--
tions to the annual Easter Seal
Sale.

Uncle Rays
Corner
BY Romon Coffmon'

Have you ever looked at yourself
In the trick mirrors which often
are found at county fairs and
amusement parks, and sometimes
elsewhere?
If you have, there must have been
at least a few moments when you
did not seem good looking to your
self? The mirrors make thin peo-
pie look stout. Stout people look
like bean-poles. Tall persons find
themselves short and short persons
appear to be giants. 1t all depends
on which mirror you are looking at.
Each kind gives you different ap-
pearance.
The trick is caused by curving of
the mirrors. Some mirrors curve
like rolling waves. You may see
your nose stretched out long, and
the rest of your face pressed tight
together.
The curving of the mirror may
be such that your face appears
twice, one of the images being up
side down.
Our homes contain objects which
can serve as magic mirrors"
Look in the bowl Of a shiny spoon,
and what do you see? Look on the
back of the bowl, and notice what
q different face you seem to have!
Sometimes, a tin can with a shiny
surface will give you a picture OF
yourself-but not a picture you
would like to see published in a
newspaper with your name below it.
The metal rim of an alarm clock
can give your face a broad and
chubby appearance. Turn the clock
80 you face the curve a different
way, and notice the change.
The surface of metal pitcher
will serve as another kind OF magic |
mirror. If the curving is just right,
you may find two images instead
Of one.
In front of the pupil Of each eye
is a lens. This lens strains and
bends the light rays which enter
our eyes. If our eye lenses were
of different shape, all things would
look different to us.
With the help Of mirrors, a
photographer can take half a dozen
pictures of a person by one snap
OF the camera. While I was col
lege student, had such picture
taken of myself on a post card. 1t
looked as though six persons OF
similar appearance were seated to-
gether around a table. 1 mailed the
postal to my father, with the words:
"See how quickly you can tell which
man on the other side is your son"
After careful study. he must have
decided that he had six sons away
at college instead of one!
