October with its Autumn shades and fading grass
es is here. So softly and easily it turns the warmth
of Summer into the cold of Winter, and the long
growing season into a period when plant life rests;
and in this month we make preparations for another
way of living. After October all things will be much
different until the flowers bloom again in the Spring.
Of course, these little observations are just platitu
dinous, but just the same, how many need to be re
minded that their coal bins are not full, or their fuel
oil certificates are not completed. How many have
their houses and other buildings improved to better
resist the blasts of November that often come with
surprise? How about leaks in the roof and exposed
water pipes? How is your old car that did so well
through the Summer days? Have all the children
the necessary shoes and clothing for trips back and
forth to school?
In a few minutes you can list up a winter budget of
things that need attention that you have not thought
of during the long, pleasanter days that are rapidly
drawing to a close.
October seems to have been designed in the gener
al scheme of things as a transitory month to complete
the work of Spring and Summer, and get ready for
cold snaps and falling snows. Wonderfully she lays
bare the facts of the whole year. Kindly she warns,
comforts and commands. She does not chide us for
forgetfulness, neglect or lack of thrift, but reminds
us in no uncertain language of the labors of the sea
sons.
Do you hear those leaves dropping? Do you feel
that tang in the air? Do you have that comfortable
security of days well spent and storage of supplies?
Do you get the soberness of the passing days?

Each hunting season takes its toll of human life.
It goes on from year to year. Laws are passed regu
lating the killing of game, which are also designed to
regulate the killers. But there seems to be no reme
dies for buck fever and criminal negligence. A mov
ing object in the underbrush seems to arouse the im
pulse to shoot regardless of clearness of sight, or cau
tiousness in a man-filled forest. Without doubt the
laws and regulations are too loose, and those we have
are not sufficiently enforced. True sportsmanship is
a fine art and is high class in Oregon, but laws with
teeth in them and a few men in jail might prove high-
ly beneficial.
