HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, October 10, 1963 6th Graders Get 'Down to Earth' On Forestry Tour (Continued from page 1) just luck. At least It took the minds of all boys, girls, ana adults from their class for a few minutes to watch these birds "float" out of sight. Yellow jackets were quite numerous and several casual ties required a "walking first aid station" that Mrs. Harold Erwin quickly developed with soda found at the Bull Prairie guard station to make a paste to treat the stings. Participants predict a hard winter, as the old Indian prophesy with many yel low jackets in the woods In the fall. Regardless, Bob Booth was a bit upset when during his class he discovered a yellow jacket up his pant leg. Like a good forester he easily coaxed it out the bottom without hardly anyone knowing the difficulty that he had encountered. We were happy to have sev eral parents on the tour and there were many favorable comments from teachers and par ents alike on the value of the tour. These tours are being held in most every county of the state now with several counties hav ing more than one aimed at giving these boys and girls first hand information about the im portance of forestry in Morrow county and the State of Oregon. Sixth grade students participat ing will have an opportunity to discuss In classes during the year the importance of forestry, wildlife, conservation and re lated subjects as a part of their class work for the year.

Saturday marks the opening of China pheasant season, start ing at s a.m. on that day and running through November 24. This will bring out a bumper crop of scatter gunners. At the same time doe season opens, and another invasion of the woods and foothill areas will be in sway. Pheasant hunters are permit ted to bag three cock pheasants in one day and possession limit is 12. The bird population seems to bo very good in this area this year and prospects are encour aging for those who enjoy this sport. Quail season also opens Sat urday for valley and mountain quail and runs through Novem ber 24. Daily bag limit is 10 and possession limit is 20. Duck and goose seasons both started on October 8 and will be of inter ested to some hunters who go north to Columbia River country. W. S. (Sam) Miller, ranger in charge of the Heppner Ranger district, said that no tires have vet been reported on the district, and he is pleased with the coop eration extended by hunters. He points out that despite light rams in the area, conditions may lie even more hazardous because the weather is cooler and hunt ers mav be prone to use more fires. With dry days following the rain, it takes only a short tune to make the woods vuln liable to fire, and he urges all hunters to continue to use ex heme caution. Hunters apparently have been well behaved on violations, too. State Police Officer Jim Gordon reports only light activity on ci tations and said Wednesday that activity has "slowed down" con sideiably during the past week.
