By BART BARTLETT The politicians have had considerable competition re cently and a point that was proven more or less is that Mother Nature can produce more wind and be more dra matic than can the politicians. However, when the damages done by both are evaluated, the politicians easily win all 10 rounds of the controversy. On Saturday, Oct. 13 a dreaded horde of people in vaded the countryside. They had been to the sporting goods store and had in their possession, by Saturday morn ing the following items: a plastic cap or hat, a pair of boots of various lengths and colors. Between these two ex tremes of equipment there ex it ted all sorts of variations. Most had a gun either owned, borrowed, or rented and most knew very little about the mechanics of the gun or where lo use it in a sportsman-like manner. Some of these people knew a legal game bird when they saw it and a few of them knew where to seek the game and how to kill it in the true tra dition of a sportsman. This segment of the Satur day hunters are welcome to hunt by most rural home and landowners if they could be properly separated from the game hog who is destructive of fences and other property. This segment of hunters park their cars in farm access roads and even get them stuck in the mud. When this happens they also borrow tractors without permission in order to tow their vehicle back onto firm footing. This fellow also does not read, as he readily passes No Hunting signs. He will shoot into equipment, homes, barns, and livestock. Furthermore, he will readily shoot another hunter, as the records show. The rural landowner is practically helpless. He must catch the trespasser and sign a complaint before the law en forcement officers can act. A solution to trespassing hunt ers must be found. One that may work is to have each ap plicant for a hunting license present a written statement signed by some landowner lo prove that the prospective hunter has a legal place to hunt. In the event he is found hunting at any other location. he would be in violation of the law and subject to arrest I he harvest season for pears will extend into late Oc tober. C. C. Hoover is to be commenaea tor his sugges tions relative to harvesting me pear crop. The growers are willing to pay for any labor that contributes to the completion of their harvest.
