1Give Yourself q Sporting Chance

Bruce's team won! They played
the strongest team in their soft
ball league and they won. Now
they would get to play in the
city finals. Bruce came home re-
joicing, because all the rules for
fine play and correct conduct, as
taught by their playground coach.
really worked!
"Glad 1t came out all right, but
I would have done a lot Of things
in a different way" umpired
Bruce's sister, Ruth.
You're not supposed to play
according to our rules. They're
for men," Bruce informed her
loftily. Girls should have their
own rules. for ball games and all
competitive sports"
That's true. Even in this age
of independent outdoor women,
including some football teams for
girls. separate athletic standards
are advised. AS explained to many
q girl athlete by Mrs. Minnette
B. Spector. who supervises sports
for many girls as director of
city playground activities:
Its wonderful to enjoy active
sports with all your strength and
enthusiasm, but let's face it. You
are not built like a boy. During
your formative years, do not con-
slider it sissy to follow the girls
rules. designed for your well-being,
to prepare you to be fit and fine
for what's still supposed to be
your ultimate aim, motherhood.
Girls, choose sports suitable
for your type. health and age
level. There are plenty to pick
from-volley ball, tennis, badmin-
ton, golf, swimming, riding.
Look for sports that will con-
tinue to be fun, that will carry
you through life with healthful
activity. Steer toward the recrea-
tion that will help you be grace
ful, agile, sociable. Don't over
emphasize the competition. Go all
out for fun and sociability. Con-
serve emotional and nervous
energy. Take time out to rest
at first signs of fatigue. Play to
win. naturally. but don't let this
cost you too much personally or
socially"
For boys and men. for baseball
and softball, a code of conduct has

DON'T BURN WOODS
TO KILL WEEVILS

Thinking of burning over your
woods to kill out the boil weevil i?
Don't do it! If you do, you'll de-
stroy valuable timber needlessly.
And you probably won't kill many
weevils.
Ross S. Douglass of Clinton,
district forestry specialist for the
State College Extension Service,
says boil weevils hibernate in
many places where they can't be
killed by burning. Many do over
winter in surface woods trash, but
more than three-fourths of these
locate within 80 feet of the woods
edges. Practically none are found
at distances greater than $50 feet
from the edges.
Thus. saws Douglas, when a
farmer burns larger areas of
woods to kill this cotton pest, he's
Cutting off his nose to spite his
face"
The specialist says burning
woods damages the timber and
kills the underground and seed
lings. 1t may lead to soil erosion,
and it often is bad for wildlife.
Then too, woods fires often get
out of control and larOer areas
are burned than intended.

Cameron became farm agent in

He still holds the job.
Starting at $40 per month and

SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
GIVEN FOR HUNTERS


Treat every gun like loaded
gun!
This is a fundamental rule for
hunters who want to avoid acct
dental shootings, says your coun-
ty farm agent for the State Col
lege Extension Service.
! "No game animal or bird is
worth the risk of shooting fell
low man." comments the county
agent. eff you can't see where the
shot is going for the full range,
don't shoot!"
Other precautions which all
hunters should observe, says the
county agent, as as. follows:
When entering automobile, home
or camp, either empty the gun or
open the breech.
Always be sure the barrel and
breech are clear of distractions.
Always carry your gun so you
can control the direction of the
muzzle.
Be sure of your target before
pulling the trigger.
Never point a gun at anything
you do not intend to shoot.
Never leave your gun unattend-
ed unless you unload it first.
Never climb tree or a fence
with loaded gun.
Never shoot at fiat, hard sur
face or the surface of water.
Don't mix gunpowder and alco-

JACK MINER BELIEVED
IN PREDATOR CONTROL
Canadian Naturalist Was First
Bird Bander; Sons Garry On
Work He Started Over so
Years Ago


The late Jack Miner, Canadian
naturalist, always gave reasons
for his opinion. He would say if
man shoots ducks for food, then
man should shoot the crows to
the same proportion because the
crows are the ducks enemies dur
ing the nesting season.
If man shoots red deer for food,
man should kill the timber wolf
to the same proportion. Man up
sets Natures balance so it is up
to man to balance same. Jack Min
er would say: eff the potato bugs
attack my potato vines, 1 use Par
is Green. l don't wait for God
to send another bug to kill them"
Many people on the North Car
DINA Coast have killed wildfowl
bearing a band with scriptural
verse, and the address of Jack
Miner of Kingsville, Ontario, Can
ada.
No man ever believed in Natural
Habitat more than did Jack Min
er. One needs only to visit his
home and bird sanctuary. There
you will find $4,000 trees, plants
and shrubs planted by the late
Jack Miner, because he used to
say an ice storm or a blizzard
can come and if wild life such as
pheasants and quail do not have
food and shelter, fully ninety per
cent of such game can be wiped
out by the storm. He would al
ways add that no one ever saw ev-
idence of an ice storm or a biz
zard ever reducing predators. Such
being the case, then the Great
Horned Owl and other predators
that are enemies of our more val
liable bird life should be reduced
to the same proportion that the
ice storm reduces the more valua-
BILE game because this mass of
predators is left to live on the
ten per cent of our game birds
which is left after such a storm.
All out of proportion.
In other words, our game birds
cannot stand mans guns, ice
storms, a blizzard and the predat-
ors. 1t is up to man to reduce the
predators to the same proportion
that our game birds are reduced
by such causes.
The late Irwin S. Cobb always
referred to Jack Miner as "the
greatest practical naturalist on
the planet" Jack Miner was not
interested in whether the female
geese migrate first or not. All
that he was interested in was that
there were some of each species
and sex left to migrate.
Jack Miner secured the first
complete fact of where bird was
banded and where it was shot. He
banded his first duck in August
1909, and it was shot by DR.. w. E.
Bray, of Anderson, South Caro-
lima. This constitutes the first COM
plete record of where a bird was
banded and where it was killed.
Bird banding was original with
Jack Miner as far as he was con-
cerned. He was interested in learn
ing what percentage of ducks and
geese were shot in Canada and
what percentage in the United
States, what percentage were shot
in each state and each province,
and his bird banding system gave
him this data.

left by the now receding tide. This
body was decently inferred later in
the day, there being no marks on it
which might lead to it's identified
ton.
The Mays Head crew pulled out
of the surf a quantity of lumber
and shingles, valued at 5000, prob
ably one-third of the schooner's
cargo, and this was all they were
able to do. A second body, that of
a white man, was cast ashore near
ly two weeks afterwards at point
at least thirty miles to the south
ward, and recovered by the crew
of the Gull Shoal Station. 1t was
identified as the body of R. W. Lee
compile, of Cambridge, Maryland,
one of the schooner's crew, and
relatives came and removed it.
This is all that is definitely
known, and the incidents of that
dreadful night will be forever
shrouded in mystery. We can only
conjecture. A schooner, probably
the Francis E. Waters, passed the
Bodies Island Station, a few miles
to the southwark in the evening of
the 23rd, between sunset and dark.
She was closehauled, working to
the northward, and apparently all
right. 1t is therefore supposed that,
losing her canvas or springing
leak and becoming water-logged
and unmanageable, she let go her
anchors to avoid drifting into the
breakers, when, the ground tackle
failing to hold her, she fell off into
the trough of the sea, rolled over
on her beam ends, and in that con-
dition drifted ashore before the
gale and sea. This view is support
ed by the fact that after the sub
sidence of the gale, and the sea had
gone down sufficiently to permit
the launching of the surfboat-
which was not for several days,
(29th) the crew found quanti-
ty of wreckage outside the bar
about a quarter of mile from the
shore, and this was attached in
some way to the anchors on the
bottom. Or it is possible that she
capsized under too great a press
of sail in the effort to work away
from the treacherous sands under
her lee. But theorize as we may,
there can be no doubt from the
established facts, especially the
locating of the anchors offshore
and the recovery of Lecompt's body
at so great distance from the dis
mantled hulk, that the supreme
moment involving the practical de-
struction of the schooner and the
loss of her crew, came before she
reached the breakers and far
enough away to prevent her being
seen through the storm by the
beach patrol.
As regards the question of the
responsibility of the Service for the
loss of life, there is abundant evil
dence that the patrol was as eff
cient as the conditions would per-
nit. 1t was a physical impossible
ty to distinguish objects hum
bred yards away, and even if the
vessel had been discovered a boat
could not have gone to her through
such a surf, nor could lire COM
munication have been established
for the operation of either life car
or breaches buoy by reason of the
distance. There can be no alterna-
tive than to class the loss of the
crew of the Francis E Waters in
the list of fatalities-fcrtunately
not large-which have occurred
within or near the scope of the OPP
erations of the Service yet have
been beyond the power Of its ag-
ency to avert.
