The discovery of

Hydrobromide-which acts on the
cough reflex mechanism like codeine,

GRAND-SLAM HUNTER
Benson Rarely Misses

slam" Benson figures he trav-
eled $1,000 miles to remote
areas to fire only four shots,
one for each sheep at distances
of 200 to 300 yards.
After the sheep hunt. Ben
son went on a coyote safari
into the Papago Indian reser-
walton south Of Phoenix. He
abandoned his rifle this trip,
hiding out with camera instead
in o roll-up blind and by using
a crippled rabbit call lured IL
coyotes within lens range.
Next was a mountain lion
and jaguar hunt. Hounds much
like the bear and deer hounds
used in Virginia are en-
ployed on these and there was
no difficulty in finding plenty
of lions. Jaguar were some
thing else again because, al
though they are fairly album
dant in Mexico. only q few are
found across the border.
Hounds Corner Jaguar
A rancher had reported two,
though. on his property and the
hounds cornered one in O patch
of scrub. Benson killed it but
not before taking an exciting
series Of movie sequences show
ing jaguar versus dogs. His
trophy placed high in the
Boone and Crockett book.
After hunting around much
Of the United States and Can
ada, Benson thinks Arizona has
it over the others in variety
of game If not in quantity.
For instance, there are mule
deer, Whitehall deer, coues
deer, a small-sized version Of
the Whitehall, elk, antelope. des-
ert sheep. buffalo. bear, jave-
linas, wild turkey, mountain
lion. jaguar, wolves, coyote and
bobcats. In addition. there are
many thousands Of quail in
the desert:
Benson would like to go back
to Arizona for the javelina sea-
son March lilo. Javelina is
otherwise known as the pee
cary, a small pig-like animal
sometimes called a musk hog
because Of a gland that can
emit an evil-smelling sub
stance.
Meanwhile, the hunter is
booked to return to Alaska next
August to look for a bigger Dali
sheep. His ambition at So is
to repeat the grand slam"
with all sheep big enough to
make the record book.

On an inside wall Of its rus
tic clubhouse in Bath County
Virginia, the Arlington Rod
and Gun Club has pinned bits
of bright-colored wool and flan-
mel.
Under each is o name and
date, for these represent the
shirt-tails Of members who
have missed shots at deer or
bear and by ancient custom
paid the penalty.
A contribution during the re-
cent deer season to this odd
collection bears the name Of
Arvid Benson, which proves
only one thing: Even q good
shot can miss at times.
That's because Benson is not
only known as one Of the
Washington areas best hunters
but also as a marksman. Twice

prize in four of five matches

pionship.
He Gets Around
AS a hunter Benson gets
around. Last week he was hunt
ing mule deer on q flying trip
to Colorado. Before the white
tail season in Virginia, he spent
only 81 days in British Co
lumbia, his third trip in as
many years with the same out
filter, Frank Stewart of Cas-
star, into rugged mountain
country near the Yukon.
Benson got two moose, one Of
which was a 1,400-pounder
that made the Boone and
Crockett record book, and two
caribou. But he failed, though,
to bag a stone sheep to match
the one he got last year in
the same area that not only
helped him to his grand slam"
but placed high in the records.
A grand slam" is the goal
of all those who hunt noun
tain sheep and so far as he
knows Benson is the only
hunter in Virginia to have
achieved it. AS a matter of
fact, according to the best
reckoning Of his guide, only
about IS hunters in the United

A five-day forecast brought
more good news with a promise
Of low temperatures that will
enable area operators to make
snow. All they need is forzen
ground to lay it on. and tenn
peratures below freezing dur
ing a relative calm. Strong
winds scatter the fine crystals
and sometimes blow them off
the prepared slopes.
Artificial snow is formed by
atomizing water with COM
pressed air. The tiny droplets
freeze before they reach the
ground, resulting in snow that
packs we'll, lasts longer and
forms an excellent base.
The process was discovered
by accident in 1850 when q
young engineer, Phil Tropeano,
who was working on a cloud
machine designed to
protect citrus crops from frost,
was called to the telephone. He
returned to find 6 inches of
snow on the ground. That was
the beginning Of q business
that has improved the skiing
potential for areas from Caro-
lima to Canada and from Vir-
ginia to California.
Whiteface Mountain in the
Adirondacks Of upper New York
State has the largest snow
making installation. One hun
bred and five days of skiing
were reported there last sea-

heavily on snow-making equip
ment. Within an 30 mile
radius Of Washington three ski
areas are so equipped.
