An Independent Newspaper Brother's Keeper 4 The Bend Bulletin, Mondoy. November 21. 1955 He Guessed Right Meet an amateur weather forecaster who has a bet ter batting average than the professionals, who missed the boreal chill that plunged November temperatures to record lows in Oregon. He is Wayne Hamilton, Bend recreation director. On the first morning of the start of the chill in Bend, when a mere nine below zero was recorded, considerable pressure was put on the recreation directory to flood the big outdoor rink. Winter had really arrived, in the opinion of 99 per cent of the ice skaters. They hinted that the recreation department was negligent in not taking advantage of the zero weather to flood the rink. But Wayne Hamilton advised the skaters to be calm, as well as cool. The season was just too early to flood the rink, at considerable cost, and launch the 1955 skating season. When the temperature dropped to minus 14 in Bend, Wayne Hamilton's ears started getting red, but only part ly due to the boreal cold. Skaters were hardly speaking to him. A few tried the frozen Deschutes, and one or two skated from bank to bank. But Wayne Hamilton refused to issue the order that would have flooded the block just east of the high school tennis court. Then came the Chinook Thursday night, five days uftcr the cold spell started. By Friday evening? the- block was covered with water and mud. But Wayne Hamilton makes no claims to being a wea ther prognosticittor, nor was he playing a "hunch." As a long resident of Bend, he knows that winter does not come to the Deschutes country in November. rapidly learned what a Learning Eprly One Bend three-year-old straight line is as soon as television came to her happy home.

A not of coffee lefl cooking on a gas range in the ompany Cafeteria had boiled over, short-circuiting the alarm wires. Commission Omission In its November bulletin, distributed to thousands of outdoor sportsmen throughout the state, the Oregon state game commission reprinted a portion of a report by Dr. Ira N. Gabriulson on the commission's activities. Gabvielson Is an internationally known fish and framo management expert. Hs report Indicated that the Oregon program is operating in a highly satisfactory manner. The report dealt with everything from administra tion to research, but at the time we read it we noted it omitted any mention of game law enforcement in Oregon. Previous Gabrielson reports, made in other states, nlways have included comment upon law enforcement activities, recommendations, etc. So the omission was noticeable. Later information (although not from the commis sion or any of its personnel) indicates that Dr. Gabriel son did comment upon game law enforcement in Oregon, and that his comments wero not "favorable to the present (system. Oregon is the only stale in the union whore game management and game law enforcement arc split among two or more agencies. The state game commission has responsibility for setting seasons, research, planting, etc., on game fish (the salmon is not a gnme fish in Oregon, though, strangely enough) and animals. The Oregon state police enforce game laws and bag limits. That the present Bystem is not too good has been known for a number of years. The Gabrielson report commented on this, and recommended that the game commission handle enforcement problems in the future. Apparently the commission omitted this portion of the report from its bulletin because it did not want to tread on stale police toes. It was a mistake to do so. nJ r f-v , (fit ' yJ TOO LI FK LIKE VICKSI5URG, Miss.

Dean Thousand. Letters To the Editor: After getting our noses nipped by the cold this week we were very glad to see a real sou'wester come along to warm things up. We had a couple of pretty cold days, but we missed most of the ice. Now we are sending cur nice warm wind on over the coast range to warm up inland Oregon and push back the arctic blast. Who cares if It is a little bit wet? During the last storm two high school boys, David Swan and Dick Stone, rounded up a full dozen mal lard ducks. The birds almost in vited the boys to pick them up some on the beach 'and others in a watery swale leading to the beach. The boys put them in an old chicken house and fed them, dreaming of the duck dinner but admitting that neither boy could bring himself to harm a single one. The ducks were very tame, quite content to stay put in their shelter from the storm. So the bos were not surprised when the owner of the ducks, Robert Renz, who lives a mile away, came looking for them. The ducks are indeed pets, and thanks to tho local grapevine, they are once more safe at home. And while we are on the subject of birds there is a bird house near Yachats, complete with a little sign by the door which says "NO VACANCY". i Tuesday was one of the days which make life on the beach most interesting, and there were quite, a few cases of rubberneck among the residents and visitors north of Yachats. We spent the early part of the day watching a tuna boat, which was afire and the coast guard boats and other fishing ves sels which had come to its aid. We are very sorry that they were unable to get the flaming boat safely to port. Elizabeth Swan, Press Secretary, Yachats, Oregon, November 19, 1955 iWay Cleared For New Party TOKYO (UP) The government resigned todav to dear the way for Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama to form a more powerful cabinet that will include the newly created Liberal - Democratic Party.
