Catholics Vote to Accept
Fixed Date for Easter

ments to a chapter in council
schema on liturgy, or public
worship. The chapter deals
with the church year-the cycle
of liturgical seasons such as
Lent and Advent.
The church would not draw
up the calendar reforms. but
would leave that to civil au-
thoritieS. The United Nations
and other organizations have
been studying a perpetual
calendar for more than a
decade. What the council is
doing is saying that Roman
Catholicism has no objection
to the reforms on religious
grounds.
Originally the chapter on the
church year carried a clause
of no opposition to calendar
reform. The calendar amend
ment voted today took the
clause out of the chapter and
provided that a declaration of
no opposition be made as an
appendix to the chapter. I'm
plicit in approval Of the amend
ment was acceptance Of the
principle of calendar reform.
The Easter date amendment
inserted an entirely new clause
into the chapter.
A council commission took
the calendar declaration out
Of the chapter, a liturgy expert
explained in today's session in
st. Peters Basilica, because it
dealt with a matter affecting
all the world, not Just Catho-
lies. The schema itself, and
its chapters, are directed at
Catholics alone.

RABBIT FIGURES
Biologist Pete Heard, who is

some figures on rabbit hunting
that will interest all bunny
chasers.
Last year." related Heard,
rabbit hunters harvested an
average of 81 rabbits a hunt.
The average hunt lasted 3.8
hours. This year hunters can ex-
pect to take 80 rabbits a hunt
if they make the approximate
length Of hunt as they did last
year.
Last year Pete predicted that
hunters would harvest a total of
2.3 rabbits a hunt based on a
hunt of four hours. The hunting
time was slightly down, and SO
was the kill.
LEAVE FENCE ROWS
Landowners are reminded by
the State Game and Fish Com
mission to be careful in clear
ing fence rows this fall.
Fence rows provide cover and
food for small game. A clean
fence row on land with no other
available cover will help eli
inmate rabbits and other small
game.
Rabbits will not be found on
any area if cover or a place to
hide and rest is absent, even If
the food supply is adequate.
The biggest problem in man.
agment is food and cover, both
of which the rabbit must have
for his livelihood.
