SEE THE VIC DAMONC SHOW Thursday. August 15, 1957 Longer Migratory Bird Scheduled Washington (IB Under secretary of Interior Hatfield Chilson today announced new hunting regulation proposals for waterfowl. Hunters of wild ducks and geese can expect the flight of migratory birds this fall to be "about the same as last year," Chilson said. Shooting seasons and bag and possession limits which will be in effect during the 1957-58 hunting period will be substan tially the same as last year in all flyways except in the Pacific flyway. There the season will be longer but bag and possession limits on ducks will be reduced The new federal proposals specify by flyways the length of the shooting season, bag and possession limits, and shooting hours, but do not include the specific season dates for the various states. These will be an nounced later after the states have made their selections. The specific dates will be se lected by state game adminis trators within a general frame work of Oct. 1 to Jan. 15. Pacific Area Seasons Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The framework within which the Pacific flyway states are permitted to recommend open season on ducks, geese and coots: The states in this flyway, Arizona, California, Idaho, Ne vada, Oregon, Utah and Wash- Hardtoppers Resume At Valley View Hardtop auto racing at Valley View track resumes Saturday after a two-weeks lay-off.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN for Pacific Flyway ington, may recommend concur rent open seasons on ducks, geese and coots of 95 consecu tive full days, or two seasons ag gregating 86 full days, within the framework of Oct. 1 to Jan. 15. This longer season is being granted because the 80-day sea sons which have been in effect in this flyway during the last three years have' not resulted in an excessive harvest. However, to guard against any possibility of an excessive kill of ducks as the result of the lengthened season, the bag and possession limits on ducks have been reduced, respectively, by one and two. Within this change the Pa cific flyway states are again af forded the option of selecting a single bag and possession limit of six ducks, which may be in creased to nine, provided such increased limit contains not less than three pintails, three widg eons, or three of these "depreda tion birds" in the aggregate of both kinds; or, they may select a daily bag limit of five ducks and a possession limit of 10, which limits may be increased to eight and 13 respectively, pro vided such increased limits con tain not less- than three pin tails, three widgeons, or three of these species in the aggregate of both kinds. Limits On Geese The daily bag and possession limit for except Ross' geese re mains as six with the unusual limitation that not more than three of. the dark species of geese may be included in such limits: ... Additional restrictions on the daily bag and possession limit St. Paul Open Action Starts St. Paul, Minn. HP) Another battle between the "old guard" and golf's 'youngsters" shaped up today as a star-studded field started play in the $24,000 St. Paul Open. Sam Snead heads the veterans into the 72-hole battle, while de fending champion Mike Souchak tops the impressive list of young er players. Tournament officials think the 6-year-old tournament record of 266,. 22 under par, may be a thing of the past when the firing is over Sunday. They point out that Keller Golf course is in top shape and par - should take an all-time battering from the pros. IS Season for Canada eeese- in certain designated areas in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and Utah will be provided. The season for coots in th Pacific flyway will conform to tne season on ducks and geese, with the usual bag and posses sion limit in this flyway of 25 coots. To enable hunters to. take ad vantage of bran flights arriving before Dec. 1, the outside dates within which, these states may recommend a season of 70 con secutive days on brant ' have been fixed at Nov. 1 to Feb. 15. The bag and possession limit will be 3 birds. The 1957-58 regulations pro vide that gallinues may be taken with coots in the Pacific flyway with a bag and possession limit of 25, singly or in the aggregate of both kinds.
