Two Dogs Find Birds

SA AOASAAb AlAC PO1AlOCI
Mike, and we Joined Haag in
Front Royal. With Haag was
his setter, Queenie. Together,
the two dogs made a hard
working combination that
found what birds were to be
found in the frozen fields of
the nearby farms.
All three of the expert shoot
ers used 20-gauge automatics
with 71a to 9 shot, while we
stuck with a IL gauge.
The hunt started on a hill
side owned by a friendly farmer
The dogs ranged far ahead and
evidently were over-eager be-
cause a large covey flushed and
winged away before we were
close enough to shoot.
Then we climbed a barbed
wire fence and tried to locate
the covey. The fence was only
the first of many, because that
is one of the tribulations of
quail hunting. You've got to
be prepared to climb two doz-
en- in a days hunt.
Best To Wear Gloves
Best. too, to wear gloves. No
matter how careful you are, it's
easy to rip your hands.
The covey was never found,
but another was located at the
end Of a fence row on a neigh
boring farm. Queenie took a
classic point and Mike backed
her up. When the birds were
flushed, Haag dropped one
neatly in a corn field, while

Front Royal, we were some
what overmatched. Basham
and Haag also are members of
the Fairfax club and excellent
shots.
1t would be different with
rifle or pistol. Benevolent
shades Of Paris Island and
the Marine Corps must hang
near when we take aim, be-
cause we profess to some de-
gree Of craftsmanship. But
with a shotgun, ugh!
No use to explain that with
a shotgun you point instead of
trying to draw a bead. You
swing with the target, allowing
for a proper lead. Like many
rifle shooters, we instinctively
take deliberate aim and by the
time the sights are aligned, the
bird is over the treetops.

HUNTING
and
FISHING

For those who like their
angling on the rugged side,
codf1shing has started of
Ocean City, Md.
A party of IL, including Ted
Magnini of Alexandria and his
son, Paul, 10, braved rough seas
to go out with Capt. Ed Brex
on the Pisces the other day.
The fishermen caught 100
pounds of cod weighing from
10 to is pounds each.
The fish we're found in about
20 feet Of water some 10 miles
of shore. CLANS were used as
bait but when the cod were
hauled aboard they were found
to have gorged on sand eels.
which apparently were abun-
dant in that area.
Capt. Brex plans to make
regular trips each week end
but will operate on weekdays
only on a charter basis.
-
A general rain on closing day
plus snow in the mountains
kept Maryland's deer kill to
2,97l, which was somewhat
short of the record of 3,l3l set
last year in the % counties
open to hunting.

SKI TRAILS
BY ROBERT 3. RYAN

Warm weather which raised
temperatures in the Alleghe-
MES to the mid forties brought
Washington area skiing to a
halt this past week end.
This is believed to be only
q temporary condition as a
base has been laid, needing
only colder weather to revive
skiing.
The drifts at Cabin Noun
tain, near Davis, w. Va, and
on Marsh Mountain, Oakland,
Md, are still relatively intact.
A light snowfall in those areas
would allow skiing over the
Christmas holidays.
Pennsylvania slopes general
ly have thinner cover, but by
Judicious use of snoWmaking
equipment plus an assist from
nature, they, too, could have
Christmas skiing.

More and more ski areas in
the Northeast are opening for
the season. Therefore, snow re-
ports will be carried by The

pages every Thursday. These
reports will have been gathered
by telephone and telegram on

cover Cabin Mountain, Davis,
W. Va; Weiss Knob, Davis. w.

Bob and Vince bagged birds in
the brush. We sighted one
heading due west and fired
enthusiastically. Miss No. l.
The next covey was at the
other end of the fence row.
The birds came out Of the
brush and headed over the
treetops. The gunners bagged
their share and we banged at
one that dropped. Only trouble
was that Basham was firing at
the same bird. Despite his pro-
testations that it was our quail
we know it was Miss No. 2.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Rejected by Parents,
Patrick Needs Hell p

Patrick's nomadic, aggressive
way of life didn't fit him for a
classroom.
Since the 10-year-old'S father
doesn't care and his stepmother
maintains cold disinterest. he
has had to make his own way.
Patrick tried to do a good
job in school, but his behavior
just didn't fit.
He found it hard to get there
on time, for example.
He didn't see why he couldn't
run through the building when
he wanted to, and go in and
out of the classroom at leisure.
A lonely boy who never
seemed able to find the success
and appreciation he yearned
for, Patrick was headed for
trouble until last year. Then
two things happened to him.
He found a teacher who liked
him and he went to camp.
One of the most striking
things about camp for Patrick
was that everybody sat around
a table to eat.
Family meals are unheard Of
in his home. So are real dishes.
Old fruit jars. even cans, are
used instead.

Charges of f1rst-degree muir

Palmer, a Library of Con-
gress employee, then turned his
gun on the two boys, shooting
Leonard in the left eye and
grazing Richard with a shot to
the head.
They said that Palmer then
ran outside and shot himself in
the head twice. He has since

THE RAMBLER ASKED

him for a short history of
counterfeiting.
Nothing new about it." he
said. did you know that
Nero was one of the early
counterfeiters? He debased
the coinage of the empire
until confidence in it was
completely destroyed.
1.-THE ups and downs of
counterfeiting don't seem to
follow, economic cycles. It's
true it was high during the
depression and fell off dur
ing the war. BY 1916 we had
what amounted to complete
suppression.
But since then, through
periods of prosperity and
occasional full employment,
counterfeiting has been on
the increase.
THAT 100000 figure on
confiScated counterfeit bills
was for fiscal '58. 1t almost
tripled in fiscal 80. The
figure is $1,925,OO0.
There was a time, years
ago, when it was said a good
Secret Service man could
look at a counterfeit bill and
tell who made it. They GER
tainly can't today.
IN the old days all money
was engraved by hand on
the metal plate. WneCner a
legitimate engraver or a
counterfeiter, the craftsman
was an artist.
Then came photoengrav-
ing, which combines the
camera and the acid-etch-
ing process. More recently
we have had Offset, which is
neither engraving nor
etching.
1--WE have come upon in
stances where Offset printers
have asked the boss If they
could do some work of their
own on overtime. And the
boss gave them permission
unaware that their own
work" was the production of
counterfeit $40 and $40 bills"
