FIRST good skiing Of the present
winter.
Conditions reported from
Davis. Oakland and Laurel

as good or better than many
Of the higher-priced establish

With additional snow and

reason to hope that skiing in
the Appalachian areas is going
to be good for awhile.
Nearly 200 Washington skiers

had been well trained.
They coursed Immediately
into the alders and tangle OF

that wandered across and
through the fields. Francis
worked his way along the brook
while the rest famed out on a
brush covered hillside. The
morning was cold but sunny.
Bags First Rabbit
We had gone a few hundred
yards when Lunsford bagged
the first rabbit high on the hill
side with a load Of ia shot.
II was q big one and fat.
Rabbits are hunted with per-
haps q greater variety Of guns

however. modified chokes should
be used as full choke will man
gle the flesh.
We left the brush and en-
tered q field in which Luns-
ford said he had flushed q
covey of quail. 1t was pasture
land with short grass in thick
clumps. The dogs worked the
field intently but flushed no
quail. The birds might have
been lying very tightly because
I almost stepped on one that
took of with a noisy whir TO
my rear so quickly that l had
no time to shoot.
Signs Of Deer in Pines
Crossing a closely-cropped
field. we came again to the
brook and Lee and the others
worked along it while / climbed
a pine-covered hillside beyond.
/ There were brush piles that
I kicked hopefully but without
success and signs Of deer
bark rubbed OF saplings by
antlered bucks.
The dogs found a hot trail
and the air reSounded with
their yelps. A shot sounded in
the alders and Lee had bagged
q bunny. A little later he got
another in q clump Of black
walnut and Chuck missed a
running shot. l rejoined the
party and we headed up an
other hillside. Altogether we
sighted nine rabbits, but
bagged only three.
Heading back for lunch We
came upon the slave cemetery,
half buried in encroachine
vines. Lunsford said there had
been nearly 100 slaves on the
plantation when the war ended
and not one left.
