- OUTDOOR GENTLEMEN
; . By Charles V. Stanton
Several years ago the red hat became Identified with
the hunter. , Someone came up with the idea that a red
hat worn by a hunter would reduce accidents. It has since
been proven that other colors are more visible and would
provide better protection. There is little evidence that red
hats have in any way discouraged trigger-happy hunters.
You'll also observe that about as many hunters are killed
out of season as in season. Just how successful the red
hat has been as a safety device is a matter of conjecture.
; But the red hat now is taking on new significance. In
Its new phase it is more apt to save lives l;han before. Pre
viously it was worn simply to attract attention of other
hunters and warn that the wearer was a human being. But
now the red hat is being worn as a part of a pledge to be
cautious. ,
? In one respect the use of a red hat bv hunters could be
considered to have a bad side effect. Too many hunters,
expecting to find all other hunters wearing red hats or red
shirts, might shoot at any target not wearing red. The
large number of horses, cattle, doe deer, etc., slaughtered
and left to rot in the woods each year might be taken to
indicate that carelessness has followed the custom of cloth
ing hunters in red, If, however, the red hat can be made;
a new svmbol, a symbol of caution and true sportsmanship,
It will find a great welcome.
Hunting Area Lost
Sportsmen's organizations have long been concerned
with the decreasing hunting area brought about through in
creased population, improvement of properties, and post
ing of land. Hunters were barred, from many logging ar
eas and from private forests. Despite the fact that more
and more hunting and angling licenses are sold each year,
the acres of hunting area and miles of stream open for rec
reational, use have decreased steadily.
Sportsmen are aware that the conduct of many hunters
and anglers has furnished ample justification for private
land owners to post, their property. The real sportsman
recognizes that the vandal and hoodlum have brought about
an intolerable condition; ;
I The, real sportsman, however, feels that he is getting
a raw'deal. He is a respecter of property rights. He does
not violate "No Trespass" signs. But the poacher and the
hoodlum will sneak into posted land, or will spotlight deer
at night, disregarding laws and signs. Consequently much
of the posted land throughout the state simply helps to cre
ate a preserve for the poacher and the type of hunter who
maKcs posting necessary.

Idea Spreads Rapidly ., , .
Sportsmen's organizations have tried for years to find
some way to improve relations with land owners. They
have worked with farm groups and logging concerns.
At a meeting of the Izaak Walton League Chapter in
Portland last year, someone came up with the idea of get
ting the state's real sportsmen to declare:
, .... "r give my pledge to be law abiding;
'' .' To respect the rights and property of others ;
To be careful with fires and firearms."
' Each sportsman who signed the pledge received a
badge, ' His red hat then became a symbol of his intention
to qualify as a true snortsmnn to the best of his ability.
" Not all wearers of red hats, however, took the pledge.
There were many incidents of vandalism during the last
hunting season. But and here's the best partlaw viola
tions, accidents, acts of vandalism, etc., declined remark
ably percentagewise. The Red Hut program last year
showed excellent results. Additional gains are anticipated
this year.
: The idea at first didn't generate much enthusiam. The
longer sportsmen looked at it, however, the greater became
Its appeal. By the time Red Hat. Day rolled around last
year the campaign was taking hold.
Today is Red Hat Day for 1956. Thousands of pledge
cards have been signed. Reams of educational literature
have been distributed. Appeals have been made through
the newspaper, radio and television to all hunters and
anglers to be real sportsmen.
Red Hat Day, originated in Oregon, will be observed
this year in many states, It has been adopted on a na
tional scale by the Izaak Walton League of America.
. It is sincerely to be hoped that in the years to come
the wearer of the Red Hat can be accepted as a true gen
tleman of the Outdoors.

10 oi these cumbersome beasts

hard to pin down. Not enough de

his proper lane. When any car
gets out of its own lane on a big
modern highway bad trouble is apt
to ensue.)
There is heartbreak in this one:
In Palm Springs a mother stood
speechless and paralyzed wilh fear
for half a dozen tragic seconds as
her 18-month-old baby crawled in
iront of a car that was just start
ing from the curb. The n by died
under the car's wheels. '. ' driver,
until he heard the mother's
screams, was unaware of what
had happened.
(1 suppose the hitler, heartrend
ing moral of that one is that an
18-month-old baby must never be
left out of sight for even half a
dozen seconds.)
So much for modern transporta
tion dangers.
Let s turn-now to one that harks
back to earlier days.
A prominent 76-year-old Hood
(Sacramento counlvl rancher was
killed in a RUNAWAY. He was
breaking a young horse to harness
in the time-honored way pair
ing it wilh an older well-hrokcn
horse. The team was hitched to a
cart. His son was helping. The fa
ther drove around the barn. When
he came into sight again the team
was running away. The son tried
to stop them, but the cart hit a
bump and the driver was thrown
out. He fell on his head and died.
There was a day when runaways
were as much a part of everyday
life as car accidents are now.
There was hardly a country town
anywhere that han't seen nerve
tingling runaways right down its
Main Street. The standard pattern
(or a hero in those times was the
brave young man who at peril of
his life stood in the Dathwav of
the runaways and seized a rein as
they dashed past and brought Ihem
lo a spectacular but safe stop.
(Too often, of course. Ihe young
man failed in his do-or dic attempt
and injury or death to one or
more of the occupants of the ve
hicle ensued.)
The death that stalks our high
ways is a grim phase of our mod
ern life. But 1 can't help wonder
ing sometimes if everything
considered, including the vastly
greater density of our modern
population Ihe hazards of our
modern life are any greater than
those that confronted our fore-
Dears.

Campaign Funds
Top $40,000
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
W. A. Phillips, chairman of the
campaign for Douglas McKay,
said Wednesday contributions for
the Oregon Republican U. S. sen
atorial nominee totaled $49,700 up
to Sept. 4.
The sum, he said, included $14,
500 from the state GOP campaign
committee and $5,000 from the
Senatorial campaign committee.
At the same time reports filed
wilh the clerk of the House of
Representatives in Washington
showed that Sen. Wayne Morse's
campaign committee had received
$40,623 from Ihe
Sen Everett Dirksen of Illinois
has sent in a request to Republi
can National Committee headquart
ers for ex-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York to come to Illinois for
a campaign speech.
Four years ago 'at the GOP con
vention in Chicago, Dirksen gave
a slashing verbal attack on Dewey.
Dirksen was then supporting the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft for the
presidential nomination. Dewey
was a strong pro-Eisenhower man.
Pointing to Dewey in the conven
tion hail, Dirksen accused him of
having led the party to defeat in
1948. There were loud boos from
the convention floor.
It's all over now. Dewev made
one of the best speeches delivered
at the Republican convention in
San Francisco. And Dirksen wants
Dewey to help him on to victory
in his Illinois re-election campaign
tnis year.

HOW TO SELECT
COLLEGE STUDENTS
Albany Damocrat-Htrald
Come next fall, an Oregon high
school diploma no longer will be
ticket of admission to state-owned
colleges. Some sort of selective
system will have been set up to
weed out those who obviously are
doomed to failure in the higher
balls.
This it a move being taken by
men who are opposed to pre-selec-
tion oi students. The state Boar a
of Higher Education, the chancel
lor of the system and the presidents
of most of the colleges have been
opposed to it. The reason they
have given, as late as last
spring, is that the judges are fal
lible.
Thev have come to it now be
cause booming enrollments leave
them no choice. Even a 44 per cent
larger budget which will be re
questedand a junior college sys
tem which also is in tne works win
not meet demand.
At the moment, the board is
thinking of making high school
grades the basis lor selection.
We're opposed to this. High
school grades, in most schools in
the state, don't indicate whether
a student can hack it in college
or will be a more productive citi
zen for having gone through col
lege. Flunk grades in high scnool
usually show that a student will
flunk in college, we'll agree,
Straight A grades almost invar
iably indicate that a student can
keep his head above the surface in
college.
But do straight B grades show
with any more certainty than B
minus grades that a student will
make it through four years of high
er learning and be a finer citi
zen? We say no. And that is the
area where the line would b e
drawn.
Grades, in high school or college,
indicate only what they are sup
posed to indicate: how well a stu
dent studied, understood or remem
bered the topic of the moment. We
defy anyone to study a group of
able citizens in their 30s and 40s
and deduce with any. accuracy
what their grades were in either
high or low education. ,
We hope the board, if it must
fuss with grades, combines this
measure with a written test. A com
prehensive test of a number of
fields of knowledge has one great
advantage over the grade selec
tion system. Such a test shows the
will and determination to go on to
college. A student who will bone up
for it and go to the trouble of tak
ing it has proved something about
his determination at the time.
And no doors should be closed
finally. A person of 20 is much
more likely to know what he wants
to do than is a senior of 18. He
should have the chance at regular
intervals to take and retake the
test.
This would have plenty of weed
ing effect and yet would not scrap
the teenager who, at that time,
liked to play too well or developed
late.
