what makes a good duck hunter,
There is only one answer-ex-

become a gCod hunter and a man

The most common piece Of
advice is oonta ned in one sem

your gun moving in front of
your duck and follow through
even after YOU have pulled the
trigger The longer YOU have been
around, the more YOU will find
that most Of your kills are made

October

OCTOBER might be the sunset month Of
" the year when. as Thoreau put it, "the
earth is painted like the sunset sky
The falling leaf is perhaps the symbol
OF October. Nature is never shy in display
ing her respondent charms. She puts on
a lovely show of verdant beauty in flower
ing May and winds up the season of the
leaves in October with brilliant coloring
October is the month of magic charac-
terized by cool nights and ghostly atmo-
sphere blue haze, golden noontides, purple
asters chrysanthemums and bittersweet
A kind of sweet sadness enthralls the
populace as it listens to the last faint tWit-
terings of departing song birds, bchods the
silken goSsamer threads which spiders
spin and dreams of hobgoblins and witches.

Drugs Have No Brakes

Now the trade in alcoholic liquor
is legal; trade in other drugs such
as heroin. cocaine and similar
drugs. is strictly Illegal except for
medicinal purposes through regu-
lar pharmacists. and on doctors
prescriptions. Still there are
great many people who in spite Of
the difficulties do manage to buy
and use these forbidden drugs, and
Of course there are always the con-
scienceless people who sell the
stuff to the addicts.
But let us suppose we listened

How ridiculous they would sound
We are told that the habit OF
drinking liquor is long-estab-
lished American way Of life. Well.

Or again, consider the pleasure
people get out of liquor Why, Of
course. They get an even keener
pleasure out of shots Of other drugs
than alcohol. Every time you put
drug addict into sanitarium you
deprive him of his greatest pleas
ure in life But that does not make
his habit any better. But, il will be
said, self-control is the answer;
drug used in moderation is not SO
harmful as when used to excess.
True; but the trouble is. no drug

Negotiate World Tensions

assertion that the United States is willing
to negotiate with the Soviet Union is the
wise approach. Whether or not any nego-
tations result, and whether negotiations
if conducted-a achieve anything, the ex-
preston of L. S. willingness to negotiate
is good material for consumption in the
foreign press and also for propaganda pur
poses
The great handicap to such negotia-
tons, Smith pointed out. was the Russian
policy Of dilatory tactics. He called on the
Reds to demonstrate some measure of their
peaceful desires with show Of concrete
deeds
The speech of the Under-S Secretary
makes it clear that the United States is
not(taking dogmatic views of negotiations
nor closing the door to a meeting with Rus
sian rulers. 1t makes it quite obvious that
the Russians, if they 50 desire, can bring
about a Big Four conference to ease world
tensions.

NDER-SECRETARY Of State Walter

Union toward ending the cold war and cas-

world. General Smith, who is considered to
be very close to President Eisenhower,
made it clear the only thing required of
the Soviet Union was some evidence that
the Moscow Government would cooperate
in seeking peace in good faith.
Smith went to some effort to point out
the United States will not refuse to con-
slider any reasonable compromise He re-
iterated the fact that the United States
Government would negotiate all matters
pertaining to peace" This seems to put
L. S. policy very clearly, and coming from
one in Smiths position, it can be assumed
that he reflects the current thinking Of

THE world might have been happier if
the battle of Poltava had gone the other
way. This was the opinion Of an English
historian of a century ago, Sir Edward
Greasy. and has become much more wide
~ held today. 1t was the battle in which
Peter the Great of Russia defeated the bril-
liant and erratic Charles MI of Sweden
and changed the course of world history.
Russia then became the dominant nation
in Eastern Europe.
Sweden. in 1909, was the great north
ern power. Russia was sprawing state
of minor principaities, far behind her
neighbors in all that made up civilization.
After this battle, Sweden became a minor
power and Russia started on the way to
greatness Ever after, said Greasy, no
