Lunch Money Is
Needed By Boys
Town OF Laurel

Magnolia Boys Town OF
Laurel, presents the follow
imp appeal:
Dear Friends:
School days remind us of
countless calls and needs of
our children. Mother, Daddy
can l have some money for
paper, pencils, workbooks,
colors, pen, ink and my
lunch?"
All of us agree these are
necessary expenses and hav-
ing nearly so boys enrolled
at Magnolia Boys Town, we
must tell our friends of our
urgent needs and ask for
help.
Our biggest single problem
is lunch money. It costs about
ST per week, 81 per month,
or $34 per year, per boy to
give each one of our boys a
hot lunch at schol. We are
asking some of our friends to
sponsor a boys lunch either
for a week. month or evenaa
year if possible. 4rItziom
l personally can remem-
Der as a boy what it was
like to watch others eat and
not have the money to eat
myself. I don't want our boys
to have this experience be-
cause I know how it hurts,
explained Henry Bucklew, di-
rector of the school.
Remember, our boys were
let down by their parents
and now they can only look
to friends like you for their
help, home and future.
In our work we never try
to pressure or beg. Our
friends have never failed
when we honestly presented
a most urgent need. We know
you will not now.
All of our boys will "thank
YOU for mailing your spe-
cial "School Lunch gift to-
day to P. O. Box SOB, Laurel,

A~NTLERLEss DEER

Game and Fish Commits
sion Biologists Pete Heard
and Bob Noble are presently
surveying antlerless deer a.
long the Mississippi River
from Tunica County to Adj
ans County, according to
Federal Aid Coordination
John Phares.
AS Heard and Noble check
each county, they talk with
officers and members of the
private hunting clubs. From
the information that they ga
Their, they will make recon-
mendations for an antlerless
deer season where the deer
population is too great for
the deer range.
Without deer management,
Mississippi could have a 81
milar mishap like the over
populated Beulah Island, Ar
kansas.
1t is estimated that approx
imately $500 antlerless deer
will be taken this year. Most
of these will be in Washing
ton and Boliver Counties.
Last year 1648 antlerless deer
were killed in Mississippi.
The antlerless deer hunting
is permitted only after per-
mits are issued to hunting
clubs or landowners, and this
season is supervised closely
by the Game and Fish Com
mission.

spaniel is believed to be the
earliest type of sporting
Dog originating from the
14th century Spain.) Some
oldtimers referred to the set
ter as "a spaniel improved
and some have even suggest
ed - without substantiation
- that somewhere along the
line a pointer was introduced
Settlers average about go
pounds and stand about "a
inches high; females, slightly
less, are shorter than the
males. There are three well
known varieties. The English
setter has a beautiful, silky
coat and its legs and tail have
a feathery appearance. Most
commonly, the dogs are sport
lily colored with combinations
of tan, black, rust and yellow
on a p~redominantly white
coat. (Some breeders strive
for more white in the coat
because this enables the hum
ter to see his dog more read
lily as it flushes game from
heavy BRUSH The Irish set
ter has a golden chestnut or
reddish coat that sets off its
white throat, chest and paws.
The third is the Gordon set
ter, which sports a coal-black
glossy coat, relieved with
touches of tan.
1t is almost impossible to
find a past or present owner
of a setter who has been I'M
happy with his choice. These
beautiful, companionable an
lmals have a great deal of in
telligence and are widely ac-
claimed for their wonderful
disposition. A setter wants
and needs exercise and it
begs for its masters affection
and attention. Some, like the
English settlers, very often
become one-man dogs. The
owners in this last category
are easily recognizable, it is
rumored. The buttons on
their shirts keep popping.

(known in England since the

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
HUNTING SAFETY

/. Treat every gun with the
respect due a loaded gun.
Watch that muzzle! Carry
your gun safely; keep
safety on until ready to
shoot.
Unload guns when not in
use, take down or have
actions open; guns should
be carried in cases to
shooting areas.
Be sure barrel is clear of
distractions, and that you
have ammunition only Of
the proper size for your
gun.
Be sure of target before
you pull trigger: know
identifying features o:
game you hunt.
Never point a gun at any
thing you do not want to
shoot; avoid all horseplay
Z. Never climb a tree or
fence or jump a ditch
with a loaded gun: never
pull a gun toward you
by the muzzle.
Never shoot a bullet at a
flat hard surface or wat
err; At target practice be
sure your backstop is ade-
quate.
Store guns and ammuni-
ton separately, beyond
reach of children.
10. Avoid alcoholic bever-
ages before or during
shooting.
Let us all observe these
rules and make the hunting
seasons this year safer not
only for ourselves. but also
for all of the hunters.

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

SUBJECT: Humorist
author Don Marquis was a
modest man. despite his
enormous success, relates
Edward Anthony in 20 Rare
Don Marquis.
ION one occasion, a pub
Usher asked him to write his
autobiography.
"'No, thanks said Mar

AMUSEMENT: Mark Twain
was wild about billiards. He
would play the game for
hours on end, giving 1t total
concentration.
How can you take 1t so
seriously?" a visitor once
asked him. Its only a game.
You should play it for

But my friends and I do

help many others. That's
why, as in your mothers
case, it's wise to be con-
tinually alert to the posi-
bility that q medicine which
works for many others may
be doing the opposite for
some patient.
For example. there is one
well-known drug used In the
treatment Of high blood
pressure, which in most pa
tientS produces excellent re-
sults-yet has been known
to produce severe depression
in some susceptible people.
I have purposely withheld
the name of the drug you
mentioned your mother has
been taking. so I wouldn't
arouse unnecessary appre-
hension in patients taking it
who are being helped by 1t.
Nevertheless, your letter
underlines this important
point: In the elderly, espe-
cially, both doctor and fam
lily must be aware Of the
possibility that a drug may
be causing or adding to the
unpleasant symptoms.
