Rugged Scenes; Ragtag Resorts S% 1ps Aday Vacations
Adriatic Sea of Beauty
Tourists CIanlor
For U.S.A. Music
By Horace Sutton

Tito's touristland, once the
] only Communist country
on western view, is a collec-
tion of magnificent, rugged
scenes, ragtag resorts, SO
tips, $4-a-day vacations, large
western-style dance bands
that play pretty good jazz,
and a western-style pop called
Jugo-Kokta, a beverage in
vented in paradise and bot
tied by the state soda works.
A traveller in Titoland is
known as a putnik, which is
also the name given to travel
agencies all over Yugoslavia.
A visa is still needed to en-
ter, but these are obtainable
at Yugoslav consulates after
paying 81 and filling out a
questionnaire, called an upit-
mix. From there on one be-
comes a putnik and the Put
niks take over.
Yugoslavia's Goa lin e,
from sunny Trieste down to
the edge of Albania, a skinny
satellite known in the local
tongue as Shqiperija, is ad-
vertised by Putnik as the
Coast of 1000 Islands.
There being no natural
ports on the west shore
from Venice to Brindisi
with the exception, per-
haps, of Ancona, the Coast
of 1000 Islands has long
been banded about between
such authorities as Venice,
Croatia, Hungary and Ma
poleon.
Under Napoleonic dictates
the shore passed to Austria
and stayed that way for a
century. There was a scram-

model proved that the bridge
would be stable even in a 600

An ancient law among
the bridge builders has
been: "The bridge demands
4 life." In 1907, In a crash
during the erection of the
Quebec bridge over the St.
Lawrence River, 81 men
died.
Nine years later work was
resumed and another method
tried; the span was jacked

or speaking, of the incompa-
rable attractiveness of our
CFU Junior certificates.
The astounding growth of

and EndoWments), reaching
1853 at the end Of July and
thus more than doubling in
the last half decade, attests
to their intrinsic value.
The preponderance Of men,
bership is still, however, in
the Term category which
numbers 29,567. This proves
also that our people are "a
ware of the bargain they are
getting in this Term insur-
ance, for after all they pay
but Z months and get II
months protection.
This low, low cost, we
know, is further and drasti-
cally reduced by the initial
free years coverage if the
child is enrolled within 6
months of birth and if at least
one of the parents is a CF'U
member.
Then to even further con-

of the small sum that is col

DELAWARE DEER SEASON
1854 Killed During States Fifth
Open Season

Delaware-s deer nerd has just
sustained it's fifth open season
Except Tor the first, which was
three days long, this was the
most successful.
In 1858, when the first open
season was proposed, there were
predictions from many quarters
that such a move would eliminate
deer from the state. Let us see
what has been the result of what
many considered a foolhardy
course of action.
Total kill for each season: jan
uary 1854, '55, '56, '57 and Nov
ember 1857 has been sos, 261,
229, 24S and 364. In previous sea-
sons the number of bucks and
does killed was even. This season
one-third more bucks were taken
than does. This seems to indicate
that many hunters are becoming
selective and waiting for antlered
deer before they shoot.
Although we started with what
should have been a balanced herd,
with all age classes represented,
Smyrna times., 1957-11-21

it was expected there would be
an increase in the older age class
es as time went on. This has not
happened. However, there has
been a general increase in the size
of the deer being killed. In 1854,
the largest deer weighed 225
pounds, woods dressed. This year
there were 13 bucks that went
over 200 pounds. This size in
crease was not limited to any one
locality. New Castle County check
ed the largest, "a buck weighing
252 pounds, killed near Glasgow.
In addition there were three 9TH
ers weighing 222, 237 and 215.
The largest deer from Kent Coun-
ty weighed 223. Other heavy
weights were 2OS, 207, 211 and
2OS. Sussex County had four big
ones, the largest weighing 2S5,
followed by three others at 2O6,
23O and 217.
Sussex County registered the
greatest increase in number of
deer checked. In the January,
1857 season only Ss deer were
checked through the two check
ing stations. In November these
stations checked a total of 11O
deer. New Castle station was low
with 1O1 and Kent high with
153.
,Accident-Free Big Game Season
State Police and game wardens
have coordinated their efforts in
enforcing strict safety measures
during the five deer seasons. An
accident-free big game season is
an enviable record in Delaware
where the land is predominatelv
level. There were few violations
committed by the hundreds of
