BY Ted Resting

A pronounced feeling of pessi
mism about the future of publ,
cunning followed reports for The
'48 season which showed more game
violations than in any preViou,
year More arrests, more convic.
tons; more killing beyond bae
limits or out of season; more illegal
sales of game; more incidents OF
damaged property and slain live
stock; more protests from farmers;
more of everything that was wrong
with hunting
This rise in law breaking and
generally irresponsible behavior has
set many people to asking How
much longer can public hunting con-
tinue at this rate?" Do these events
foreshadow an approach to the Eng
lish system under which the aver
age citizen cannot buy a license, get
a gun and go hunting?
Outdoor Writer Bill Wolff reports
that there is a pronounced trend
toward some form of private hunt
ing here, and it is due lawlessness
and bad field craftsmanship as
much as any other cause. More
and more hunters are joining or
forming private clubs which own or
lease anywhere from a few to many
thousands of acres. More and more
landowners are signing off their
grounds and allowing only their
friends or paying guests to shoot
over them.
Under today'S conditions. public
hunting is largely dependent upon
the landowners tolerance of hunt
ers, and upon the hunters license
money. It's really cooperative en-
terprise, but the farmers tolerance
is wearing thin due to discourtesies |
and vandalism, and the supply of
game is wearing out due partly to |
illegal hunting on the part of both /
landowner and hunters.
If the recent rapid trend in many |
states toward more posted land and |
less game continues unchecked, !
hunting will collapse. Few persons
realize that the end of public hunt
ing could mean the virtual end of |
game species since only hunters, to-
day at least, are sufficiently inter
ested to spend cash to see that game
survives.
Hunting violations persist in the
face of increasingly tense enforce
ment of laws. Despite game mems
vigilance, many offenders go I'M
punished and help wreck hunting
for law-abiding gunners.
But worst offender of all is pub
lie apathy. Once the average hunt
er realizes that his own sport is
heavily at stake, he probably won't
blind his eyes to other hunters
violations and bad conduct. Once
the general public realizes that 50
billion worth of its business is
it will cease smiling in
over its neighbors' boasts
Of outwitting the game agents or
putting that officious hayseed of a
farmer in his place

POT OF GOLD"
FOUND IN EUREKA
(CroWded out last Weekl

AOAOWQGQ out last week.
Libby Assembly No. 5, Order Of
Rainbow for Girls, found the tradi.
tional pot of gold" when it jour
neyed to Eureka Friday night, Oct
IA, to exemplify their ritualistic
work for the Masonic and Eastern
Star organizations.
The Assembly was opened and
closed in due form and the initiatory
work exemplified with the degrees
being conferred upon Susan LeDuc
and Cara Lou Borgess..
The conclusion of the meeting was
followed by a bountiful supply of
refreshments served by members of
the Lillian Chapter, Order of East
ern Star. It was during the refresh
ment course the clever little Pot of
Gold was presented to the mother
advisor, a donation from the Ma
sons and Stars present which amply
covered the expenses of the trip.
However, the Pot of Gold con-
tanned far more than monetary
value; it was overlooking with hos
pltality, graciousnesS and fellow
ship, which will remain long after
the generous donation ceases to
exist.
Mrs. Frank Baney, herself a past
mother advisor of the Libby As
sembly, opened her lovely home to
the girls as a place to change into
their formals and generously pro-
vided orange juice, milk, and cook
les, to fill the vacancies caused by
the jolting ride between the two
towns. In addition to this, the East

MANY MONTANA FARMS
ARE ELECTRIFIED

U.D-A total of % ,462, or 62.2 per
cent of Montana's farms are now
electrified, according to the Rural
Identification Administration
For the nation as a whole, the
REA estimated that more than three
quarters of the farms now have the
advantage of identification as com
pared with only about II per cent
in 1885 when the REA was estab-
lished. The survey by the admin
istration, recently completed and re-
leased through the Department of
Agriculture, showed that each of
II states has more than 95 per cent
of its farms electrified.

Largest Opening Day Enrolment For
Negro Schools In History Of City
Predicted As Public School Open
Here Monday Morning
Heavy Enrolment To Reemphasize
Unequal And Inadequate Facilities
Provided For Negro Education
No Action Taken On Recently Filed
Petition

The largest enrolment for OPP
ening day in the history of the
Negro public schools of the city
is the prediction for the opening
of the public schools of the city
Monday morning.
The prediction that the enroll
ment in Negro Public Schools will
be the largest in the history of
the city is based largely on the
fact that many students will be
eligible for enrolment in the pub
lie schools of the city as a result
of the recent city expansion which
took in a large number of Negro
families with children of school
age. 1t is also based upon the fact
that growing number of those
families onnce indifferent to the
responsibility of educating their
children and sending them to
school are showing more and
more determination to enroll and
keep their children in school.
The opening of the schools Mon
day will also re-emphasize the
grossly inadequate and unequal
school facilities provided for Ne
groes under the Jackson Public
School System.
Lanier High School, the one and
only Negro High School in the
city, always overcrowded and un-
T, derstaffed year in and year out
cannot even be expected to meet
the growing demands of an in
creasing enrollmennt. In many of
the school rooms in the Negro
Public Schools of the city there
are up to eighty children enrolled
in one room makingn it all but i'm.
possible for one teacher to do
more than token job of teaching
while struggling with the hercu-
lean job of maintaing discipline.
A job made all the more difficult
by the almost total lack of play
groundn, gym, and other types of
recreation facilities, and person
mel for their direction in Negro
Public Schools.
AS the opening of the schools
approached the grossly inadequate
and unequal facilities provided for
Negroes was also emphasized by
the revelation that Negro Citizens
of the Trips Crossing and Tonga
loo Area recently taken in by the
city expansion, have already pre-
scented a petition to the Mayor,
City Commissioners and Board of
Education of jackson requesting
adequate and equal educational fa-
cilities for that District.
The petition points out that the
only school for Negroes in that
district is four room frame
building, located in a swampy bot
tom, and virtually inaccessible
durinng bad weather, which was
operated by Kinds County before
the city expansion.
| At last report no action had been
taken by city authorities respect
ing the petition.
The following is a list of teach
ers and staff for Negro Schools q
announced for the opening MOI.

Local Man Is
Killed By Having
Head Beaten
Against
Pavement
TWO HELD FACING
MURDER CHARGES

The killing of Negroes by Ne
groes, which intelligent Negro
Citizens, as we'll as many others
see as the result of the failure Of
the courts and juries to exact lsEeS-
imum penalty, and as a result of
the indifference with which the
prosecution looks upon cases
where a Negro is charged with the
killing of another Negro, saw two
more added to the alarming and
steadily growing total of such kill
ings in Jackson and its environs
during the annual Labor Day long
holiday weekend.
In Jackson, Sol Ross, A. of LA
Fairbanks street, was beaten to
death in front of the Huckle Buck
Cafe, at the Corner of Mill and
Ash Street, early Friday night,
allegedly as a result of an agru-
ment over a $2.75 debt.
According to reports said to
have been made by eye witnesses
to the killing, Ross was knocked
down by So year old, John Smith,
of 215 Taft Street, who he owed
$2.75, after the two had become
engaged in a violent argument
over failure to pay the debt AS
Ross fell his head hit the pave
ment knocking him out. Smith,
after he fell, continued to pound
his head against the pavement un-
til he was dead.
A murder charge was filed
against Smith Saturday by police
officers who arrested him a short
time after the killing. He is being
held without bond pending pre-
liminary hearing.
Over in East Jackson, one more
was added to the numerous kill
ings along the Fannin Road, Ran
kin County's famous Negro Night
Club District, when Johnnie Ha-
ney, of 322 Geraldine treet. was
stabbed to death in front of Big
Johns Place early Saturday night.
According to report Haney
started beating his wife, Thelma,
and cut her in the back while out
on a party with relatives and
friends. When Early d. Watts. of
122 Gum Street tried to stop the
fight Haney slashed him in the
face with his knife. Watts then
pulled his knife and stabbed Ha-
ney through the heart. Hanney was
dead upon arrival at a local hos.
pital.
Local officers investigating the
killing arrested Watts at his home
in Jackson. He was later turned
over to Rankin County authorities
where he is being held faced with
a murder charge, pending further
investigation, and preliminary
hearinng in the case.
