Hunting License
Not Hunting Rights

Editor of Herald.
The Cumberland Ruritan Club
feels that good relations between
the hunter and the landowner are
important, and we would appreci-
ate your publishing the following
letter addressed to
Dear MIR. Hunter -
You know by now that there is
a great amount of game in this
area and much of it needs to be
harvested.
Do you know who is RESPONSE
Bile for this game? Many people
are responsible, but primarily the
landowners or whose land you
hunt. They are glad they were
able to raise this game. Their
continued happiness depends up
on your actions. If you act like
a sportsman, most farmers will
be glad to have you on their
farm.
Mr. Hunter. remember the
farmer owns that land on which
you hurt. He raised those feed
patches. He fed the birds last
winter when snow covered their
food. What did you do? Most of
you only bought a hunting Ii
ncese, which only entities you to
hunt upon lands where you have
the permission Of the landowner.
If the lard is posted YOU must
have written permission. Your Ii
cense does not give you permits
sion to hunt on private land
That landowner has as much
right to control his land as you
have to control the house and lot

Sportsrnen Or Hunters

IFE becomes more complex as the
IL years pass. There are more people
and more different kinds of people
Hunting game was a necessity during
the early days - means Of survival.
The Indians of necessity stalked the
game with bows and arrows and fed
their tribes. Game was plentiful and
people few.
Hunting became a sport with colo
nists in later years and in the pre-
Civil War era, the agrarian period,
hunting was social affair as we'll as
sport.
AS life and living became more COM
pick and people more numerous game
began its era of extinction. Laws were
passed to protect game. Efforts were
made to propagate game. Societies have
been formed of sportsmen to conserve
and increase game. Some success has
been achieved. Generally, members OF
these societies such as the lSsac Walton
Leagues, the Virginia Wild Life Fedora
ton and others perform a distinct SER
vice in this field
The State of Virginia has a wild
life conservation program and eXacts
a license from hunters and fishermen,
which is used for regulating and pro-
noting game conservation. This license
issued by the State merely provides the
privilege to hunt or fish. 1t gives no
person the right to hunt except in State
owned preserves. A private landowner
may post notices prohibiting hunting
or tresspassing on his property and
may give or sell sportsmen the right
to hunt on his premises. The law re
quires every huntsman to have written
permission from the landowner.
Wild game is crop for the farmer,
just as any other crop he raises. Strips
around the fields are planted on most
farms to provide feed and cover for
the game. During heavy SHOWS the game
is fed through the efforts of the con-
servation societies and the individual
landowners. Wild game is his possession
and should be respected as any other
Of his possessions. Certainly his per-
mission should be asked by any sports
man who wishes to hunt and generally,
it will be granted. Those who trespass
violate all of the laws of private owner
ship and should be prosecuted.
Most farmers are sportsmen and en-
Joy having their friends engage in the
sport of hunting. They ask (see letter
to the editor) to be respected and to
receive the common courtesies and the
lawful treatment from all hunters,
SpOrtsmen or not.

The Mighty God?


Another reason why people
found it hard to see that the
Great Promise of Savior was
fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth
is the presence in some of the
prophecies Isaiah 9 nota blc
among them-of startling Ian
guage more than limiting that
this Coming One was going to
be far more than man, indeed
no less than God. The child,
the son of Isaiah go is pres
emily II a m C d Mighty God,
Everlasting Father" How can
this be? And can we believe
such high things of the Carpen-
ter Of Nazareth? Yes, we can
believe it, we do believe it. But
what the Christian church has
come TO see mot to understand
it passes human understanding
is something that most people
in his lifetime did not see:
namely. that God does not al
ways make himself known in
awesome and terrible ways. but
in gentle. yes even humble WAYS
The wonderful truth which the
Christian accepts is that this
very Carpenter Of Nazareth. not
only on the occasion Of great
miracles but every day in all
the things he did and said. was
God himself upon earth We be-
lieve that Christ was saying the
truth when he said, He who
has seen me, has seen the Fa-
ther.'

And ectosy that felt then,

But suppose you know all this
That ! am telling you,
Because if not, you would not come
Each year the way you do
Nov os for what want, old friend,
From you on Christmas day,
Is something for man like me,
Who now is old and groy

But maybe, you can guess
Just what to bring on Christmas day
To give ne happiness.

Then bring to me, proy

And heart and eyes ogIow;

The Great Promise
Lesson for December IL, 1860

Nothing that happens is a sur
prise to God. Human beings are
sometimes surprised when they
need not be. The birth of Jesus
was surely no surprise to God,
for it was he that planned it.
1t need not have astonished
any one, for it had been prom
Used.
The trouble was, nobody had
looked for just this kind Of an
sWer to their long prayers
long in the sense that for cen
turtles the Jewish people had
been praying for Deliverer
that is what Savior" means
in the Bible. Furthermore, this
Deliverer had been promised,
for many of the prophets had
pointed forward to the coming
of One to whom they gave vari-
GUS names-Son Of David, Gods
Amounted, Gods Servant, Shep-
herd, and SO on. One of the
names was not a name, it sim
ply expressed the great hope in
word: He that is coming TALL
one word in Greek or Hebrew 9.
Peace and Justice
The problem at this point may
turn the mind to thinking about
what Jesus really means to
Christians now and eventually
to the world. The problem. to
make it short, is this: Why was
it that the Jews, the very peo-
pie who had cherished the Great
Promise, the Hope of "One who
is to come the people in whose
sacred books alone this Prom
Use was preserved, the people
W h ose prophets had pointed
down the future to that great
Comlng-why was it that these
very people Of the Promise
failed to see the fulfillment of
that Promise when it came to
pass?
One reason was that they ex-
pected everything to happen all
at once. For eXam ple: in
Isaiah 8, one of the famous pro-
phecles about the Coming One,
any reader can see the hope
and expectation of justice,
righteousness and peace. The
coming Savior will set up a
Kingdom Of peace and of justice
But when Jesus came he was
born in a stable because of an
injustice on the part of the
government, and he died as a
criminal. again because Of pro
badly the most unjust death sen
tence in the tory Of the
world. Looking at the world to-
day, peace and justice still seem
far off What has happened tc
the Great Promise?
Short Perspective, Long History
Travellers in very dry flat
country have noticed that dis
tances are deceptive. You see a
Watertank or a tower or hill
apparently a mile or so down
the road, but the thing just
seems to back away from you,
the mile or two may turn into
Is miles before you reach it
What the prophets did not say
tand maybe did not see) was
the perspective; they had nc
time table Of things to come. Sc
when justice and peace did moi
descend on the world all at once
when Jesus came, many thought
then, and many nowadays think
that he couldn't be the One thai
God intended.
The Mighty God?
Another reason why people
found it hard to see that the
Great Promise of a Savior was

tive with the cypress. -,
Question: would like to
know If there is any way you
can change the color Of
ceramic. I have two table
lamps with bases composed
of ceramic parrots and I
would like to change the color
Of the parrots. They have red
shades and I would like the
parrots to be green instead
Of the purple they now are.
Answer-Try a glossy en-
amel paint. If one coat is not
successful, Sandpaper this
down and add a second coat.
My advice is to do entire base
in white or pale grey rather
than green which I think you
will eventually find as tire
some as the purple you now
have.
QuestiOn-My bedroom is
close to the Tv room. Even
with the door shut the sound
Of the set is very audible in
my room. Do they make a
curtain or drapery material
which would prevent this II
hung across the door in the
bedroom?
Answer-Nothing will COM
pletely solve your problem.
An acoustical paint used on
both sides Of the door might
help. 1t looks somewhat like
plain fiocked wallpaper. Felt
either pasted on the doors
or hung as a curtain is an
other suggestion. Curtains
backed with milium, an in
sulated lining, viii also elm
mate some noise.
Questi0n-Our new home

foot living dining room. Bow
windows at either end have
draperies in dark brown
floral print. Furniture is
maple. What colors should I
use for walls, rugs, two chairs,
sofa, loveseat? '
Answer Try pale gold
walls, dark gold rug. Sofa
could be rust toned and two
small chairs might be cov-
cred in identical fabric. Love-
seat should be brown and
might be piled with. pillows

One of the most adaptable
aspects of Japanese resi-
Dental architecture is the
sliding wall. Whole houses
in that country frequently
become one large room when
the dividing walls are either
slid back or removed entirely.
This latter condition can
be achieved in the houses Of
Japan by slipping the wood
framed paper panels out Of
the top and bottom grooves
and removing them entirely.
In our country. where slid
ing walls are put to use they
are rarely removable. Also
the American demand for
privacy requires q more solid
material than paper for the
sometime wall. The shadow
play Of paper doors may
charm the japanese but our
own habits Of living demand
q more opaque separation.
Sliding doors frequently
have been put to use here at
home to serve as separation
between living and dining
room, between entrance hall
and living area, between two
portions Of a living room. In
other more unusual cases the
sliding wall has been used to
separate sleeping and living
areas in a beach house or in
q small apartment.
There is growing interest,
too. in sliding doors in place
Of the usual ones to close of
closet space, thereby elimi-
mating the more conventional
doors which open into o room
and use up valuable space.
