II JUNIOR SPORTSMEN By CHARLES V. STANTON Oregon is making excellent progress in its program of training young people in sportsmanship and conservation Since the way was cleared in the last legislature for juvenile hunting and fishing reserves, many localities have taken advantage of the opportunity to provide special fa cilities for use of their boys and girls. Limited sections of fimall stream? have been set aside for juvenile fishermen. The state game department keeps these streams stocked with trout. Much interest is being shown in the results obtained at the Wilson wildlife management area near Corvallis, where the state purchased a part of the World War II army camp to be used in rearing pheasants. ' The area was opened 13 weekends during the recent season to young people between 14 and 17 years of age. The game commission reports that 272 youngsters hunted the tract and shot 229 cock pheasants without an accident or an infraction of rules. Twenty-five permits were issued each hunting day to applicants. The only restriction was than an adult licensed hunter accompany the young hunter. The parent was not permitted to hunt, but served as coach and observer. Nine girls participated and showed ability to hold their own with the boys in mnrkmanship and hunting prowess. Youth Training Important The importance of training the youth of the state in sportsmanship and conservation cannot be overemphasized. . Oregon has a very high incidence of game law viola tions. Many of our older residents fail to comprehend the changes occurring within the state and the need for lim itations and restrictions. Only a few years ago, with an abundance of fish and game, coupled with sparse population, any angler or hunter could be allowed ample kill. In fact, little attention was paid to out-of-season kills by rural residents, who found it difficult to travel over winter roads into towns where they could buy fresh nieat. But as population and angling and hunting intensity have increased, it has been necessary to impose regulations permitting a more equitable distribution of the allowable harvest of fish and game. Furthermore, the increase in population, occupation of more land for agricultural and industrial purposes, logging, irrigation, pollution, etc., have reduced the state's sports fishery, has seriously curtailed pheasant production, and has created many problems in big game management. Instead of hunting and fishing for meat, as we once were able to do, we must now hunt and fish for sport alone. Too few people have been able to gain this new concep tion. We still have too many meat hogs. Youngsters Provide Solution Conservationists have little hope of ever converting the adult population. Few adult game hogs can be brought into full realization of the need for restrictions or into voluntary cooperation with regulations required for preser vation of fish and game species. They can be held in check only through law enforcement. But the coming generation can be educated in the new pattern. Children of today will be tomorrow's sportsmen. If they are taught in their early years the lessons of sports manship and conservation, they not only will conform but also will nave a beneficial effect in curbing the poaching tendencies of the "Old Man." We are glad to see the efforts being made in our own area to participate in this training program. Several streams in the southwest Oregon game district are being set aside for junior anglers. While it is difficult to find n suitable stream for such purposes in the immediate vicin ity of Roseburg, the Junior Chamber of Commerce is mak ing a determined effort to provide limited facilities on Deer Creek, and is receiving full cooperation from the game department staff. The Umpqua Basin Conservation Council is conducting a program of visual education through procurement of con servation motion 'pictures to be exhibited in the county's schools. The program is directed by George Meyers, Yon calla, and Bruce Yeager, Roseburg. The various sportsmen's groups throughout the county are working at the local level to teach principles of good sportsmanship to the youth of their respective areas. The educational program is growing rapidly. It will, we believe, prove of great worth in the years to come. How like human beings our animal and feathered friends can be! You know how a group of pcoplo will stand and stnrc at some unusual object, Well, the other day some neighbor chickens, (bantams, perhaps; they arc small) were certainly amusing. Ever since we came here our white oat has seemed a continual astonishment to them. They were just chicks when Uiey first began to follow Pretty around or just gaze alter her. Since chickens are no novelty to the cat, she pays little attention lo them, but goes about her business of investigating gopher holes on the hill. This particular time the chick ens were quite .some distance off, when suddenly just like a group of children, or even grownups they took a notion to come tearing over to seo what Pretty was doing. A-flapping and a-squawking, here they came, in the greatest excite ment. Arriving within about a yard of the Vat, they stopped suddenly i and just stood. Not moving. Just) taring tt the cat.

A-(lnping and a-squawking, 1 Ihcy tore across the hill, to join the other onlookers. As long as I watched them there they stood, 'staring, silent, their necks stretched out toward the cat. The cat Ignored them. She tucked her feet under I her, and settled down for the long i wail, perhaps, before a gopher i came to the hole. Then there are the dogs: Not having one of our own 1 have lo depend upon the neighbors' for j amusement. Duke is a confirmed cat hater. He takes after our cat and gives her a run for it!

So far, at least in the bureau of internal revenue hearings, not much damage was done to the reputations that were aired. Most of them were pretty wen blasted before the administration stalwarts took the witness chair. And what's more, television and radio seldom carried anything to the public, except the pitiful ex- planations of those who ot caught with their hands in the public cash box. And why aren't we entitled to witness that? The civil rights committee wants thc New York Bar association lo needle Congress into adopting a code of procedure for all hearings. The recommended code reads: 1.

That brings up another thought find a most important one: Always in the past, we've been able to shelter behind somebody else's walls while we got ready to fight. NEVER AGAIN, I fear, will that be possible. We're the big dog now. It's OUR WALLS that OUR AL LIES will have to shelter behind while THEY get ready to fight. Another thing to remember: In the past, wars have started slowly, generally speaking. I'm afraid that's something else that has gone into the limbo of the past.

But Uncle Sam is slill hoping to hold down the interest he must pay on the huge federal debt. The people he borrows the mon ey from the banks, insurance companies, and other private in vestorshave been clamoring for the Treasury to issue long-term bonds paying more than the present interest rate of 2Vi percent. But the federal debt now tops 259 billion dollars. Annual interest payment totals on it are already high. And any raise in interest rates would increase the burden on the taxpayers by that much more. The Treasury, therefore, is hoping to hold the interest rate at its present level. Private borrowers aren't so lucky. Banks now charge 3 per cent on prime commercial Joans. This is twice what business firms with the highest credit ratings had to pay the banks in the 1935-47 period before interest rates started their slow climb. Corporate bond prices have dropped, too, so that the yield on them is rising gradually. And cor porations seeking to sell new se curities to the public have had lo offer higher interest rates than they did a few years ago. Business firms .are borrowing record amounts to expand plants and fi nance ever-costlier business opera tions. Too, many investors have -been turning lo the stock market. With common stock prices rising since the war, the yield from them has been more attractive to many in vestors than the interest rates the government or corporations were offering on their securities. But the Treasury has so far held to its policy of keeping its own in terest payments on long-term bonds down to 2'i percent. To do this, the Treasury has been turning more and more to short-term bor rowingfor three months or a year at much lower rates, of course, Gambling Taxes Yield Uncle Sam $200,000 So Far By The Associated Presl The government has collected at least $200,000 in gambling taxes since the new 10 per cent levy went into force two months ago, an Associated Press survey disclosed today. That sum was paid by profession al gamblers in about one-fourth ot 48 states. Some collectors of inter nal revenue declined to make the figures public. Others said their records were quite incomplete. Still others said they collected nothing. Congressional backers of the tax predicted it would raise 400 million dollars year. This would average out to moi-t than 30 million dollars a month. Collection sums In five figures were reported in only three states Ohio, Florida and Indiana. At Tacoma. Wash., the collector's office said $14,805.42 was collected from gamblers' income by the new tax for the month of November. Some 350 returns were filed. The figures for December had not been compiled. TNowe-Revlew kot not boon . 1 I etoRvereo' by 1 1 A: I S p Jn, phono E J-Jell botwooo fcitwdrp.n. J Murphy Reneged j On Purge Pledge, Truman States i WASHINGTON ( President Truman said Thursday that Judge i Thomas F. Murphy once accepted and then turned down an appoint-' ment to head up an investigation of government employes. Mr. Truman made this statement . during a news conference discus-' sion of his plans to eliminate wrong doers from the government In other highlights of the con- ! ference, Mr. Truman: ! Said he will accept W. Stuart Symington's resignation as head of Die Reconstruction Finance Cor-1 poration sometime this month. Kofused to answer a question as to whether Atty-Gen. j. Howard McGrath has signified his willing ness to be relieved of duty. At the outset of the meeting with reporters, the President said so many rumors were going around about what action might be taken in connection with the government cleanup program that he was not going to answer any of them. Mum on Conditions But later, in response to ques tions, Mr. Truman confirmed that he had asked Judge Murphy of New York to head an inquiry into any corruption and wrongdoing in the government. The . President said Murphy ac copied the appointment but after he got back to New York he turned it down. A reporter asked whether Mur phy submitted conditions under which he would accept appoint ment. No, the President said, adding that he himself gave all the con ditions under which he thought Murphy could serve. Asked whether he would name a substitute for the New York judge, the President said he didn't care to talk about that. Comics Slated For Discussion At Fullerton PTA "What Are Our Children Read ing?" a discussion of comic books by Mrs. W. A. Gilchrist, library service chairman for Douglas I county council ot P. T. A., and Daniel Dimick, president of the Fullerton unit, will be featured at the reilar meeting of the Fuller ton Parent-Teacher association Monday, Jan. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the school. Mrs. Gilchrist will be remember ed by radio listeners who heard her recently in P.T.A.'s program on KRXL concerning possibilities for county library service, and again just before Christmas when she was interviewed on the sub ject of children's gift books on the Parent-Teacher's KRNR broad cast. Dimick is chairman of Fullerton's juvenile protection. He also spoke last week for the P.T.A. county council over KRNR on "Certain Fundamental Rights." Parents are invited to bring questions which they find arising around any such situations about comic books in their homes. The meeting is to be thrown open for discussion. Fathers and mothers are invited to attend the program. Refresh ments and a social period will follow. Baby sitters will be provided at the school. The Protestant Episcopal Church was brought to America in 1607 with the Jamestown Colon ists.
