GAME HUNTING SEASON


Now that the game hunting season is
open in many parts of the country, the quail
season is here and other bird-hunting is the
order of the day, we have cheerful informa-
tion for hunters.
From all indications, this years bird
crop seems to be a good one, probably the
best in three or four years in most sections
of the country and game should be relative
ly plentiful.
Anyone who has the bird-hunting bug is
seriously afflicted-in an enjoyable way
and whether it be geese, ducks, quail, pheas-
ant or any other game bird, those who are
lovers of the sport will take time out to en-
joy some of the glorious days of Fall and
go hunting.
To those who stay at their desks, in stuff
fly offices, and miss the fun Of this hunting
season, we will point out several things.
First, the nation is at peace now. There
probably will be a time in the future, unfor-
tunately, when the nation may not be at
peace and when many of us will not be able
to hunt. Second those who are enjoying
good health and are able to hunt now will
take advantage of their good fortune and get
the outdoor exercise and fresh air, as a sort
of physical theraphy as a means of remain
ing healthy.
If another excuse to go hunting is needed,
one can always enjoy a season when game is
relatively plentiful. There will be years
when they will not be so plentiful, and so
next season, or the next, may be too late.
If all of these reasons cannot help the
reader to rationalize himself into going hunt
ing, then he might think about the dullness
of his job, or the boredom or tediousness of
the nature of his work If he will think about
this long enough, he will get up and go some
where else, and he may go hunting even if
his office duties do not warrant such step.
KHRUSHCHEV TALKS
Nikita Khrushchev's decidedly unoriginal
notion that history is on his side, and that he
will "bury" the West calls for many COM
ments. First of all, history does not make
men; men make history.
Since the war, the free nations of WeS-
tern Europe have revived. Industrial pro-
duction in every country outside of the Iron
Curtain, excepting possibly Spain, Greece
and Turkey, is far above pre-War levels. The
comeback of West Germany is extraordinary.
Contrast the economy of the Netherlands, af-
ter it has been victimized by Marshall Plan
imperialism" with those of Poland or even
Czechslovakia. And Europe would be back
on its feet even more solidly but for ne So
Wet threat.
If anything, the Soviet economic system
is second-rate. History is on Khrushchev's
side neither because of the superiority of a
system or OF an lde0lOgy turned into Skele-
ton of the theories of other men. History
can be on Khrushchev's side on one condi-
tion only-if he has the power to win by vio-
lence, force and fraud used ruthlessly in or
der to preserve and expand the power of
totalitarian bureaucracy.
History is on Khrushchev's side if he can
"liberate" the world as he is liberating Hun
gary. History is on Khrushchev's side if the
West, and most especially America, aband-
ffc &c
lows itself to half-rotobize its people as con-
sumers and thereby does not keep pace tech
nologicaly, scientifically and in lifting the
cultural and educational levei of its citizens.
When Khrushchev talks thi way, his
statements should be accepted n! as true
congratulations about history but as propa-
ganda statements which aim to paralyze the
heart of our confidence and the nerves of our
will
