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.

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.

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.
