(Observer Photo) 9 Observer, La Grande, Ore., ON THE Oregon's hunting toll continues to mount as the 1959 general deer season moves into its sec end week. Ten hunters have died so far, four from gunshot wounds and six from heart seizures. The linal count will go even higher before the curtain rolls down on fall hunting. The addition of waterfowl and upland game bird hunters to the increasing numbers that annual ly practice the hunter's skill can he expected to add to the total. Some deaths are unavoidable. Hunting alone can net be blam ed for all heart seizures but ov erexertion in the field is un doubtedly a big factor. Carelessness in the woods ac counts for the maji.rity of acci dents although Oregon's first week is just reversed. The ea.yer hunter may forget where his companirn is located when a big buck crashes into view. Or a hunter may become the victim of another hunting party who is unaware of his presence. Accidents like these can be avoided if hunters will only re member to be sure of their t.ir set and take stock ol where a millet will go if it m'sses its mark. There arc people who refuse to go into the woods durins hunt iug reason for fear of being shot. Silly? They can hardly be blam ed for their caution in view of the alarming number of persons killed or wounded in a season. Some people should never be allowed in the wci.ds with a riilc in the first place. At present there is no way of controlling who hunts or how. All a would he hunter must do is purchase a license am: a i.eer tat; and have debut, said he thought he eanie.l the fight 'by winning "seven or eight rounds'' with slick jabs and tpiick combinations to the head of baffled Clay, who never got a renl chance to unleash his power. Tony Gra.iiano. Clay's manag er, who was overheard saying in the fourth round that "It looks like a bad night." said later his fighter hud won. "You can't win a fight holding and grabbing," he said, referring to Rodriguez. Referee Dave Beloff scored the bout in favor of Rodriguez. 444. under Pennsyhnivo's five point must system. Judge Jim Mina gave it to Clay. 4K-4S. while .bulge Jack Stilley scored it even at 45-45. 1'nited Press International tubbed it 4S-4J for Rotlriiic7. Ml.

Tr-- OBSERVIR Neil Andersan Sat., Oct. 10, 1959 Page 2 LINE Neil Andersen access to the nccesssary equip ment. Some day, maybe, an examina ticn will be devised for prospec tive hunters before a license to hunt is issued. Such a test would probably include written ques tions concerning safety in the woods and the proper care of firearms and in addition actual ability tests with a weapon. Hunters will resent the neces sity of having to take a test be fore being allowed to hunt. But something is going to have to he done to protect the hunter from: caroiess and Irresponsible Kiin-totcrs who make hunting a tragedy each year. T'ne Red Hat Days program has taken a big step in reducing fric tion between property owners and hunters but it is still falling short ol the mark wliere safety u concerned. Most hunters are careful and cautious; most of them pay at tention to Hie rules of safe gun handling But there are those who fail to be impressed with the deadly potential if the wea pon they carry. This minority is itiiivin: our hunting. If a r.i-mbrr of your hunting party is guilty of forgetting the rules ( f safety with firearms, de prive them of their guns. If they can't learn to pay attention to t,ood sense they she uldn't be al lowed to hunt. The same should be true for strangers. You can't take their i nns away but you can make it dear to tliem that they are en-l ;lant;enng tiuir own lives as well as the lives i f others. And don't feel bad about noisey pecple who! won't follow the rules. Theyi den't deserve the sane hunter's respect. I Oregonians mu?t police their cw.i hunting, at least for a time. It iNich hunter will take the time to explain the rules of safety to their children on a hunt and then set an example for the youngsters to follow i; will be a ' big help in reducing fatalities. It1 will create a breed of sportsman that thinks not only of himself l.ul of the welfare and safety of lis comrades who annually roam the woods. It's up to you. the hunter, to keep hunting safe and enjoyable, j WIlTEGETSTHREE ' NEW YORK d'PI' Jockey Willie Shoemaker rode three win ners, inelu ling Tick Tock in the $7,500 Lincoln Park llundicap Fri day to increase his two-day ' bag" ' ol winners at Aqueduct Park to eight. to 2500 board feet.
