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.

Fullmer Choice
To Subdue Boyd
Chicagq . (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.

Is That So?
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.
Fact: Although he seems to be

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!
