Hunting Season
BY Eva Burwen

Hunting Season
The bird season was oper
Thursday December 10, anC
It's a mystery to me how SC
many strangers find their way
to our little town, hunting and
killings birds. Some eutterly
disregard the posted signs on
trees and post, and hunt right
on as If they owned the land.
| saw this happen a few DAYS
ago, how nervy some people
are.
Always secure the permission
or farmers and land owners
before hunting on their pro-
perty. Other wise you run the
risk of being run off and DOS
slbly prosecuted Off trespas-
sing. And when you are given
permission to hunt, observe
the following rules. Don't shoot
close to buildings, or live
stock, don't leave gates open.
don't tear the fences down and
cut the wire, don't drop mat
ches and cigarettes with out
putting them out, invite your
host to come for a hunt win
you and be sure and offer him
par of your game.
Common courtesy and res
pect for the rights of your fell
low man will do mucht O make
you welcome and vii go a
long ways in making YOUR
trip a pleasant one. Fail to Of
serve these simple rules and
you are going to find the gates
closed to you. An old farmer
can be just as obstinate as the
old mule he plows.
The truth of the matter is
this the problem of securing
a good place. to hunt becomes
more acute with each passing
year. Few gunners like to runt
alone, even though they may
have good hunting territory. !

to the top ranks Of jazz, lay
gravely i'll in a coma here to-

Italian doctors said the
leather r-lunged musician had

"He never had any kind Of
heart attack. He just blew him
self out, that's all. Any musi-
clan who blows on a wind in
strument for years suffers some
weakening of the heart. That's
inevitable"
And Satchmo-the satchel-

magic on his sweet-toned horn
since the birth Of jazz.
