A total Of So deer and 40 tur-
keys were checked at Prince
Edward county game checking
stations during the big game
season just ended. 1t was
the biggest kill ever counted at
the stations, according to Game
Warden G. Linwo0d Cox.
Not all that game was bagged
in the county, even though
checked in here. However, the
kill within the county checked
in at other counties offsets
that, he pointed out, so that the
figures represent the approx
mate kill here.

In contrast to being provost,

ed. "Nasser is the symbol of their
hope of future success in national

best method to follow, according to
Professor Wellard.

and minds. military allegiances will
be at best weak and flimsy. The
military approach is difficult. cost

clared. Russian armed power would
quickly engulf such countries with
