Poet To Give Reading In Northwest Poetry Circuit James Den Boer, the second of three young poets to appear In the 1969-70 Northwest Poet ry Circuit, will give a reading of his works at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay at noon Wednesday, February 11. Den Boer’s ap pearance in Coos Bay is one in a series of visits to ten north west colleges and universities on the current circuit. The Northwest Poetry Cir cuit, formed under the aegis of the Academy of American Poets, organizes reading en gagements for three young es tablished but realtlvely unknown poets each academic year.

The American turkey is so distinctly American that it, rather than thebald eagle, came nearly being chosen our nation al bird. The wild turkey originated on the North American continent and six geographical races— sub species—have been iden tified. The original range of these subspecies extended from Maine and southern Ontario west to the Dakotas, Colorado and Arizona, and into southern Mexico. Although turkeys were abun dant in all this North American range, their habitat require ment still exists. Their re quirement for trees limited their distribution to the Great Plains. In addition to timber, the bird also needs extensive range wherein few, if any, domestic fowl are present. The turkey is highly vulnerable to some diseases of the barnyard chi cken, especially coccidiosls and blackhead. The turkey pro ducers have problems keeping these diseases out of their flocks, even under controlled conditions, and in wild flocks the disease can run rampant. ENVIRONMENT IMPORTANT Environment is the key to survival, distribution, and a- bundance of all wildlife. In the use of the land for the pro duction of food and fiber, en vironment must be manipulated for the benefit of domestic crops and livestock. Unfortunately, the farmer or rancher has no choice, if he is to stay in bus iness. Occasionally, however, he has an opportunity to help restore desirable wild crea tures. Such is the casewiththe wild turkey. While scientific game man agement must be given first credit for the restoration of the wild turkey, a second and equally important factor is the keen interest demonstrated by TURKEY SEASON DUE TO OPEN Oregon’s “ Controlled Spring Gobbler Season” is set for Ap ril 25 through May 3, 1970. It is to be staged in the W as- co and Sled Springs Manage ment Units. We imagine that most sports men are acquainted with the regulations governing special hunts, and how to proceed In order to get their name in the “ pot” that is called a “ draw ing” by our game officials. Naturally, it cannot be called by its proper name of lottery, for a state law forbids games of lot tery being engaged in on a gam bling basis. And due to no mon ey being accepted in advance of the drawing, the holder of the lucky numbers that permit them to take part in the special hunts, pay for the privilege of doing so, only after first having been not ified that their names have been drawn. Naturally, every one entering his name in thedrawlng is gam bling on his chance of winnings game tag; that, is a positive must in the matter of special game hunts. The only exchange of money involved during the process, is that paid the Game Commission for the tags award Port Orford News, Thursday, ed the winners. That serves to put the commission in the clear. Yep, “ there’s more ways than one to skin a cat” , as that old phrase goes. APPLICATION PROCEDURES For the benefit of those not familiar with how to proceed in order to enter the drawing (contest); applications must be made on the “ Controlled Sea son Tag Application” form av ailable at all license agencies. Either one or two individuals may apply on the same form. No person may apply for or re ceive more than one 1970 con trolled season tag. Successful applicants—those whose names are drawn, will pay a fee of $2.00 for a tag. And, no doubt as a matter of self protection on the part of our game offic ials, they emphatically issue a warning to the winners of the special tags as well as all others taking part in the lo tte ry - sorry, but that word just slipped out—not to submit money with their applications. Applications for the upcoming gobbler hunt are due in the Portland office of the Game Commission by 5:00 p.m., Feb ruary 18. The drawing will be at 10;00 a.m., February 27,1970. As to the hunt Itself, here’s wishing the old gobblers, gobs of luck . . . we’re pulling for ’em in a big way.
