Many Women Fish and Hunt, Survey Shows By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York ' (U.R) The big game a woman stalks these days is just as apt to be a lion as a scion. Uncle Sam has published the the first comprehensive survey on who does the hunting and fishing in these United States. It reveals that women, in num bers which amaze the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are tak ing to field and stream. The researchers, hired by Cros slcy, S-D Surveys, Inc., reported that 4,836,000 women hunted or fished in 1955. The figure is about 20 per cent of the total of 25 million men, women and children over 12 who hunted or fished. The ervice wanted to deter mine how many "man days' and how much money were spent on the two sports. Spending in 1955 totalled near ly S3 billion on everything from food to ammunition, the survey estimated. The researcher did not at tempt to determine just how much of the total was spent by women. But they did find that women take to rod and reel more often than the rifle. Some 5 million women fished in 1955; only 250.000 hunted. But the hunters are a fearless lot gunning for big game as well as small game and waterfowl, alongside the men. Reasons for the increase in women anglers and hunters the researchers didn't find offic ially. But they unofficially go along with one candid wife ww said "my husband is an avid fisherman. I decided if I couldn't change him, I'd join him." The researchers found whole families who hunt and fish, al though some of the women said, "We do more cooking than catch ing." The 300 interviewers most of them were women also were an intrepid lot. One woman hired a jeep, a guide and borrow ed long underwear during a winter-time trek into rugged terri tiry in California. Another, who later confessed she'd never before ridden horse back, hired a pack mule to reach one remote area. "I've had men leer at me, dogs bite me, floods deter me," an other wrote her supervisor. But like the postman, neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom . ."

Jack I know my boy is good for business. . ..Ronnie Our boy is going in to his senior year in high school, and we are naturally thinking of his future. -My husband is terribly anxious to have him go into his business, but he has taken aptitude tests that, to my mind, indicate that he should not. My husband. Jack, was op posed to his taking the aptitude tests, but they were recommend ed by the high school and he reluctantly agreed.. The aptitude tests showed a marked scientific bent in our boy, and indicated ; that he would not be at his best in dealing with people. My husband is furious be cause I want to encourage the boy in the direction indicated. - Jack I have worked very hard to establish my little re tail business. I had my fill of being kicked around from pil lar to post in my younger days, and I know the value of being your own boss and working to build something for yourself and your family. 1 don't care what the aptitude tests show. Our boy has always wanted to come with me to the store and has never complained about helping. It is true that he is shy and doesn't wait on cus tomers. But he is very useful and willing when he helps me. and he seems to know a good deal about the merchandise. Maybe it's all right in Russia for the authorities to disregard the parents and tell a child how he should run his life, but I feel that I should have some thing to say about my son's fu ture. The Council: Aptitude - tests are a modern educational tool, but they should not be mistaken for destiny or used as a sub stitute for free, conscious deci sion. The fact that this boy' ap titude tests do not disclose a talent for dealing with people and indicate other aptitudes should not bar him from an op portunity in his father's busi ness. For one thing there are, as the father points out, other phases to the business besides waiting on customers. For another thing, it is possible to overcome the weaknesses in dicated by an aptitude test. The father surely has a right to expose this boy to his busi ness and to encourage him to enter it. On the other hand, if the boy has been made to feel that he dare not aspire to some other career, that would be wrong. In this case, it seems that the mother misunderstands the pur pose of the aptitude test and wants to rule out the family busi ness simply because the aptitude test disclosed that the boy has some feeling for science. If the boy knows the merch andise and has skill in manage ment, the fact that he lacks the disposition to make small talk with the customers should not prove the decisive factor. He can hire a good salesclerk when the time comes for him to run the business. (Copyright 195S. General Feature Corp.)

Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without getting so much as a look at the intricate "works" that makes it run. How do you dare make such an important purchase without having an expert check it over for you? What makes you so sure you're getting your money's worth when you say, "I'll take that one"? The answer's obvious. You look for the brand name on the refrigerator your "guarantee." You've learned to follow this first rule of safe and sound buying: A good brand is your best guarantee No matter what kind of product you want to buy, you know a good brand won't let you down. You know the -maker stands back of it guar antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand you know you're right. ' Read this newspaper to find out which are the good brands, (and the stores that sell them.) The more good brands you know, the surer you are about all your shopping. v BRAND NAMES FOUNDATION Incorporated A Son-Profit Educational Foundation 37 West 57th Street, New York 19, New York mm. rat 22..-. mm Medford Mail Tribune
