Wednesday, September 28, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBU THIRTEEN MEDFOROwTRIBUHE SrPdDffilTS Forest Groups Ask Hunters To Aid in Fire Prevention Bend (U.R) Deer hunten in the Deschutes national forest Saturday will get word from the air to be 'careful of fire. A U.S. Forest Service plane will fly overhead with a loud speaker cautioning hunters to use care In woods which are still dry. Portland (U.R) Coopera tion of the numerous hunters in Oregon's woods in the preven tion of hunter-caused forest fires Is being asked by federal, state and other forest protection or ganizations, according to federal regional forester J. Herbert Stone. "A large proportion of the great, disastrous fires of history occurred in the fall during per iods of exceptional dryness and heavy winds," he said. "We wel come the hunters. Their harvest of the game crop is an essential part in maintaining a plentiful, healthy population of game an imals In balance with the amount of available forage. But this har vest can and should be done without damage to life or prop erty. Although most hunters are good sportsmen, national forest figures show that roughly one third of our man-caused fires have been started by hunters." In Seven Foreiti In a statement issued by Ker mit W. Linstedt, forest service regional fire control chief, he said: "The national forest hunter-fire problem in Oregon last year was centered mainly on seven eastside forests. It appears to be brought about largely by westsiders who do their hunting east of the mountains where they are caught off-guard by the dif ference in fire danger conditions there." "Rainfall is. usually lighter on the eastside where sun and dry ing winds often quickly lower the fuel moisture and bring high fire danger following the light rains or cold dewy nights. We are not minimizing fire danger elsewhere, but are very anxious to better the record in these trouble spots." A study made by the fire wea ther meteorologist of the Pacif ic Northwest Forest and Range Experiment station, research branch of the Forest service, has revealed that the occurrence ct drying winds during August is doubled in September and doubled again during October the month when the woods are full of big game hunters. This tudy covered 20 years of rec ords. . Warming Fires Harrast Abandoned warming fires regularly outnumber smoker fires and unextinguished camp fires. During the dry October and November of 1952, a con siderable number of warming fires harrassed foresters during elk hunting season. Only one spot remains closed to travel in eastside Oregon for ests the Summer Lake rim area on the Fremont. Campfire per mits are not required, but it is always unlawful to leave a fire unattended or to build one in a dangerous place such as against logs or in stumps. The two-rule regulations remains in effect un til October unless ended sooner because of general wetting rains. These rules are: 1. No smoking while traveling except on paved or surfaced roads. 2. Axe, shovel, and bucket are required of horse pack or auto mobile parties camping outside of posted forest camps. Wet Weather Foreseen For Deer Hunt Opening Portland (U.R) Oregon deer hunters may be in for a wet opening day Saturday, the weather bureau said tday. A series of fast-moving storm fronts was reported heading to ward Oregon from the Pacific and any improvement in the weather is likely to be a short one, the weather bureau said. Portland had 1.29 inches of rain yesterday. KICKS GO FAR Toronto (U.R) The Toron to Argonauts were satisfied to day that Joe Kroll has lost none of the kicking ability that earn ed him the nickname "King of Football" in Canadian grid cir cles, Kroll, who joined the team after Toronto's need of a kicker became apparent in a game against Ottawa, made two 50 yard kicks' and one of 65 yards in Tuesday's practice session. RAIN POSTPONES BOUT Akron, O. (U.R) Fight of ficials today blamed daylong rains Tuesday for holding down the crowd to only a few persons and forcing postponement be tween Vince Martinez .of Pater- son, N.J., and Irving Steen of San Diego, Calif.

(U.R) Gene Full mer, West Jordan, Utah, was an 11 to 5 favorite today to beat Bobby Boyd in tonight's tele vision fight from the Chicago stadium and perhaps improve his current position as fourth-rank ing middleweight. . Fullmer, a 23-year-old, ran up a string of 31 straight victor ies before he lost in 10 rounds to Gil Turner. He defeated Turn er in 10 rounds in his next start to avenge the loss and later de- cisioned Al Andrews in his last fight. Boyd has been beaten six times in 42 pro outings, but has won 20 knockouts and 14 decis ions. Fullmer has tallied 19 knockouts in gaining his 32 vic tories. x Boyd, rated the Illinois mid- dlieweight champion, has been knocked out four times, howev er, while Fullmer's only defeat came by decision.

About that time again, isn't it, that we give some of our pop ular beliefs the hot-foot? So here's a Fact vs Fallacy. Fallacy: Stars can be seen in daytime from the bottom of a deep dry well or a tall chimney. Fact: The idea that a long shaft makes stars visible in day light probably got started (and still persists)., because . of .the . occa sional chance sighting of the planet Venus which can be seen by the naked eye in broad day light. ' Fallacy: The hummingbird is strictly a vegetarian, eating nec tar and pollen.

THE OLD SUNNY BROOK COMPANY, DIVISION OF NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CORPORATION, LOUISVILLE, KY. SS PROOF, 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist probing constantly for nectar, he likes meat with potatoes as well as Jie next person. Only he takes his meat in small servings as tiny insects at the bottom of flowers. Really that is what his long, probing beak is after, a good share of the time. Fallacy: The body of a drowned man floats face up ward; that of a woman face downward. Fact: Ludicrous as this notion may seem, none-the-less it is held seriously by many people. Frankly, nature displays no favoritism between the sexes nor any differentiation concerning immodest display,. With it, there is another no tion that if a person "goes down for the third time" he is done for. Drowning persons need not go down three times in fact, many people drown when they go under the first time. Fallacy: A body changes weight at the moment of death, hence the phrase "dead weight." Fact: There is no difference in the weight of a live body or a dead one. We carry our own 115-200 pounds about so easily that we are unaware of what an exertion it really requires. When in an emergency we are forced to carry the additional weight of second body, we feel a gravitational, pull of from .230 400 pounds and assume that the other body has somehow ac quired additional weight.- Actually the weight of a carcaa or even of a part of a carcass when felt for the first time is itartlingly heavy as any hunter can tell you. For that matter, parts of the human body are exceedingly heavy too. When typing a typist lifts over 25 pounds in arm weight no small weight. When jitterbug ging, perhaps she flings .about around 40 pounds of legs! (Released by .'
