Newspaper Page TextWoods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss As the population of Ore gon grows larger and larger, there is going to be a need lor more and more people to become vitally interested in our fishing and hunting. Per haps it's asking too much of the occasional hunter or fish erman to become interested in the problems which are faced by those who would like to ee their children and grand children enjoy the same hunt ing and fishing that is avail able to us right now. But there Is a time approaching when pressures are going to force us to decide just what kind of sports we would like to continue to enjoy. GUN REGULATIONS Mora and more people who are capable of doing something about it are con cerned with the increasing number of guns that are available to people who have money but little or no knowledge of how to prop erly handle a weapon of uch deadly potential. There Is constant agitation every year to pass laws which will restrict the rights of the American citizen io bear arms as freely as he is ac customed to. These agita tors are those who believe most of the ills of society can be resolved by passing another law. They are as lacking in good sense as the person who decides to give Up hunting because it's too much trouble to work for better hunter-landowner re lations. They want their problems to be easily solved or they hope io be able to ignore them com pletely. WILD HUNTERS! There are wild stories com ing back from the permit elk hunt which was held in Coos county last week end. The gist of the stories is that most of hunters acted like fools, idiots, or insane men. There were the usual few who shot at anything that moved, but they were outnumbered by those who shot at every elk they saw, and if they saw a dozen elk;- why, they tried to shoot the whole dozen! Some of the more saner, ex perienced hunters were quite" disgusted with this type of behavior and there are esti mates that the wild shooting wounded far more elk. than the number that were killed and taken out. SHOULD BE A LAW? The solution io this type of problem is not to stop the elk hunts. Nor is it a solu- lion to take the guns away from the hunters. The field of hunter-education is a new on and it has very Utile backing as yet because many sportsmen believe that if you have enough money to buy a gun you also have enough sense io use it properly. It requires ''thought and training io use firearms safely and effec tively, and it takes time io learn the values of good sportsmanship. This is some thing worth trying first as well as we can and if it doesn't work we can always , us more restrictive mea sures as a last resort. THERE IS A LAW! Several years ago the legis lature passed a law forbidding anyone to conduct, sponsor, or take part in any contest or derby involving game fish in which the prize is anything other than a button, plaque, or certificate of award valued at 525 or less. The reason for the law was that the salmon derbies were attracting many people who were fishing only to win a prize. Since the pur pose of fishing for sport is a non-commercial one, the der bies were actually commer cializing our game fish by offering prizes for catching them. The purpose of the law was to stop the commercial izing of our game fish. THE PROFIT MOTIVE Despite the law against derbies and fishing contests, there are contests held every year thai are in viola tion of the law. The law is difficult to enforce because most people are unaware of it and also are unaware that the law applies io all fish classified as game fish in this stale. Occasionally a business will sponsor a con test in order io draw people in and increase business. This could be considered as compounding ihe crime of commercializing our game fish and should not be tol erated by informed sports men in the area. The fish are for our enjoyment and are not meant io be caught in order io help v someone make more money. This re quires a boat and a com mercial license. THE ANGLER'S LOG Those big winter tackle busters are in at last and the serious steelhead fisherman is in his glory. The local coast al streams have had their first good rain and last week end was the time to be out. Both salmon and steelhead were going up with a rush and there were so many that some of the shallower riffles indicated their numbers as they climbed over. Illinois River - The reports tell us that this river didn't get much of a rain and al though some steelhead are moving through; the fisher men aren't taking them. Smith luver This river had a lot of activity last week end and several of the local fishermen had no trouble hooking them; the trouble be gan when they tried to land them. Cheico River - Lots of big steelhead and salmon. The local experts claim cluster eggs and spin-n-glows are the best medicine. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Those of us who enjoy our ' out-of-doors so much are going io have io do more than enjoy them. We are going to have io work io keep them enjoyable and by doing so iheir value will be greater. GOOD LUCK! SPORTS BUY HIT MUSICAL t Hollywood -(UPD- Warner Brothers Studio announced Thursday it has purchased for an undisclosed sum the mo tion picture rights to the hit Broadway musical "The Mu sic Man." The musical is now in its third year in New York. It was written by Meredith Willson and starred Robert Preston. Linguists estimate that at least 145 different languages are spoken in the Soviet Union. Rogue Archery Season Ending Because of a misinterpre tation of garbled copy yester day, the following portion of the Oregon game commission's weekly fishing and hunting report is being reprinted: Soulhwesi-Waterfowl hunt ing in Umpqua valley is fan to poor. Hunting at Coos Bay is fair with lots of birds in the area. Waterfowl hunting should be fair in the Rogue valley. A few pintails and mallards are beginning to show up, but water levels in most ponds and rivers are till quite low. The Rogue river archery season in Jack son and Josephine counties ends Dec. 20. Recent rains have soaked down the dry woods, making stalkings pos sible. Good results are ex pected. Bay Meadows Handicap Billed San Mateo, Calif. (UPD Ten of the top campaigners m the West are expected to go to the post Saturday in the 27th running of the $25,000-added Bay Meadows handicap. The race will be the feature that closes the 42-day season of the track. Slated for action are Prom ised Land, Greek Star, Bat tle Dance, Eddie Schmidt, Twentyone Guns, The Search er, Shah. Jehan 2nd, Crasher, I Step and Sweet Revenge. With rain predicted for the big race, it is possible that one or two of these may be scratched. And if it comes up mud, it is probable that Battle Dance will be the favorite. BOWLING ROXY ANN STAR FIRE Standings: Ken Hughes . Jeddeloh Bros Standard Oil. Prospect Ron's Standard Station..

A TOUCHING STORY of young love was unfolded in Flat bush when a local beauty and her fiance, scheduled to be married in a big church wedding six weeks later,, eloped to Maryland. "Why did you do it?" sobbed the bride's mother when she re turned. "Your wedding would have been a social triumph." Daugh ter sought to soothe her with "We. thought we'd better get married fast before we got sick of each other." Author Garson Kanin tells of a peace -loving' young man who took a dim view of Army life when drafted. For his first three weeks he did little more than line up for chow and collect cloth ing, etc So his depression increased. "What's the matter with you?" chided a better ajusted buddy. "You never had it so good." The gloomy draftee pointed to all the equipment he had col lected, and explained sadly, "I just feel I'm getting in deeper all the time." j 1959, by Bennett Cerf.

Scott Picked Over Kid Pa ret New York (DPD Top wel terweight contender Charley Scott of Philadelphia, making his Madison Square Garden debut, is favored at 13-5 to beat fast, rugged Benny (Kid) Paret of Cuba tonight in their TV 10-rounder. Left-hooker Scott seeks his seventh straight victory and steps up fiis campaign for a title shot at champion Don Jordan, who lost much prest ige when knocked out in the fourth round Saturday night by obscure .Federico Thomp son at Buenos Aires. Tonight's bout will be tele vised and broadcast national ly by NBC at 7 p.m. (e.s.t.) Paret, 22, is unranked among the 147-pound con tenders because he has been hovering between the welter weight divisions in his seven fights this year. Also because he broke even in those bouts with' three victories, three de feats and one draw. Scott, a 23-year-old con verted southpaw, is a solid favorite because of his punch and his winning momentum.
