Highway Game
Kill Said Heavy

Field men to the Wildlife Di-
vision of the Department of Nat
ural Resources report a heavy
kill of game, particularly rab-
bits, on the highways of the
State.
E. B.. Cooke, supervisor OF
Wildlife Conservation District
No. 4 with headquarters at Cam
bridge reported a count of Ii rab-
bits killed in 70 miles on a re-
cent trip to Columbus.
Every year when the States
rabbit population is up, the high
way kill is estimated at around
one million according to DIR. z.
O. Martin, chief of the Divisions
game management section Add
to this the loss of females carry
ing young and the loss to hunt
ers is almost unbelievable.
Whether or not night drivers
can reduce this highway kill, has
always been debatable even
among the most careful drivers.
Dodging a rabbit that insists on
remaining in the beam of auto
headlights is extremely diff
cult, and often dangerous wf1en
traffic is heavy.
Nevertheless, night drivers are
urged to give wildlife a brake
to help reduce what seems to be
an unnecessary loss of game.
Drivers in recent years have
reported some success with the
trick of pressing the DINNER
switch two or three times and at
the same time give out with a
number of short blasts of the
horn.
The heaviest kill of game
seems to take place in the early
morning hours before daybreak.
Rabbits during the mating sea-
son move about more than usual
and seek the warm highway to
dry off after excessive travelling
through the wet grass.
Game management officials of
the Division are looking for
ways and means of reducing the
highway kill but have failed to
find the right answer to the prob
lem.

Prices for Seats
To Broadway
Plays May Rise
BY the AsSoeiotsd Pres,
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
For some months Broadway
producers have been discussing
over their coffee cups the advis-
ability Of raising the general price
scale at theatrical box offices. So
they are watching with avid in
terest the current policy Of two
recent arrivals among the straight
plays. these being Caesar and
Cleopatra" and THE Rat Race" "
The first of these, with Sir
Cedric Hardwicke and Lilli Pal
mer in the leading roles. received
favorable critical notices and is
doing lively business. THE Rat
Race" with Betty Field in the
starring role. suffered some sting
ing barbs from the critics. But.
it is doing good business due to a
healthy advance sale of tickets.
However, both plays are charg-
ing $6 a ticket for Friday and
Saturday nights as opposed to
the normal $3.50 top price which
rules at most straight plays dur
ing every night OF the week. 1t
will require, box office managers
think, another six or eight weeks
to discover to what extent the
general public will accept this
trial for an advance in the ticket
tariffs.
Others Urge Cut.
Some managers, in an opposi-
tion camp, have been arguing that
prices should be cut in order to
attract a larger audience back to
the legitimate theater. Veteran
Producer Max Gordon took the
issue in hand recently when he
cut prices in half for tickets to
his long-run comedy hit. Born
Yesterday" Instead Of $40 for
an orchestra seat, he cut to a
$40 top. The show closed last
week after running 1.642 per-
formances to become the fifth
longest run in Broadway history.
But. the cut in prices kept it run
ming only a few weeks longer
than the original closing date.
Such hits as the Alfred Lunt-
Lynn Fontanne production Of Il
Know My Love" the Maxwell
Anderson dramatization of Lost
in the Stars" Death Of a Sales
man" and Mister Roberts" are
continuong a sellout business
with their top price range gen.
orally being $3.50 a seat. In
the field Of musicals, their price
range In most cases is a $500 top.
And none Of them has shown
any indication Of experimenting
with the price ranges as have the
straight shows.

That's the One Johnny Burke Uses
For Writing the Lyrics of Hit Songs
By Harold Heffernon

best song of the year. The num-
ber was typical Of the philosophi-
cal lyric which Burke tailors
regularly for Crosby.
For the. benefit of embryonic
Burkes and Berlins, Johnny lists
few hints.
First, forget all you've seen in
the movies or read in books about
song writer's" he urges. Erase
from your mind the picture of a
writer who gets sudden inspiration
in the middle of his roast beef and
scribbles a hit lyric on the back
Of the menu. Worse still. he notes
it on the tablecloth. Believe me,
if an idea is any good he'll re-
member it until after dinner"
Johnny doesn't even carry q
pencil in his pocket. He waits
until he has a whole lyric in mind
before setting a single word down
on paper. He points out also that
a tunesmith must be able to sep
arate his personal life from his
profession. Otherwise, unhappy
writer's would turn out nothing
but torch ballads and maudlin
sentiment.
Lyrics Are Harder.
"You may feel sick as dog and
still be called on to write a peppy,
optimistic tune for a picture" he
continued. "A few weeks ago
was in the hospital with an in
jured back, my neck was in trac-
ton, but wrote Sunshine Cake
Bing sings it in Riding High"
While giving Van Heusen full
credit, Burke confesses lyric writ
ing is more work than dreaming
up the melody. The reason Is
basic: Lyricists must write two or
three different choruses. all re-
peated to the same tune.
Johnny emphasizes there's no
ratio between the success of a
song and the time required to
compose it. In just 20 minutes.

Bait Casting

THE term "bait casting" stems
n historically from the crude
tackle originally designed for
the purpose of throwing bait
into spots where fish might lurk.
By throwing and reeling, much
water could be covered, and
bats could be placed in those
spots prohibited to the still fish
erman.
Actually, bait casting as such
never did work especially we'll
1t was necessary to use a heavy
Sinker with the bait, in order to
throw it efficiently and this de-
tracted from its lifelike appear
ance and motion. Bait casting led
eventually to the development
of artificial lures such as plugs,
spoons and spinnerS, lures heavy
enough to carry line from the
reel. And these heavy artificial
lures, it was discovered, could
fool fish as we'll as bait.
Today, streamlined to per-
fection and practically fool
proof, bait casting may be
said to be "every mans"
method of fishing. Ninety per
cent of anglers, when they
speak of a fishing rod, refer
to the slick modern plug rod

reel. Bait, or plug, casting is
simplicity itself-the physical
act of toss ing gaudy lures
among the lily pads-or into
salty bayOus.
