Connection Emphasized The direct connection be tween moisture, the range and in Oregon" and approval of I the fawn crop was emphasiz ed by Bowles, who told the crowd Oregon was not going to have any more fawns than the ground crop would sup port. "The worst thing we could do for you hunters," he said, "would be to permit deer herds to grow beyond the ca pacity of the range," In closing the hearing, Bowles took time to explain HB 15S1 which is concerned with the sale of state land to the Fish and Wildlife service for the establishment of bird refuges. It conditions permis sion tor the government to acquire state land upon prior written approval of the gov crning body of the county in which the refuge is to be lo cated. Bowles described the bill as a reaction to plana to establish a water fowl refuge in the Willamette valley. his new duties July 1. hasneld hereto obtain the views i over," Jim Aiken of Medford been registrar at Davis since of the people regarding big 1946.

Belongs to All Peoplt Bowles was trying to ex plain to a dissident hunter from Grants Pass that the game commission has to re member that the game be longs to all the people of the state, not just to the people who buy hunting licenses. And that all the people do not agree on what the hunting regulations should be. In answer to William Entertainment Set At RC Building The Medford chapter, So ciety for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, plans a night of en tertainment Saturday, April 13, at the Red Cross building, 60 Hawthorne ave. at 7 p.m. Featured singers will be the Journeymen of Eugene. This quartet is the present district champion and 1962 international finalist. There will also be 22 men from the Eugene-Springfield chorus, three-time international final ists. The evening will be devoted to promoting barbership har mony in the Rogue valley and all men and their wives are invited to attend. Refresh ments will be served. Representatives to Attend Conference Charles Collins, executive vice president of the Cal-Ore Recreation Development asso ciation, and Robert Haworth, Medford parks and recreation director, will participate in sessions at the Northwest Dis trict Recreation and Parks conference of the National Recreation association in Eu gene April 21 through 24. Collins will participate in the session "Need for and De velopment of Policies." Ha worth will be in the session on youth center programs. More than 600 persons from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Ore gon, Washington, Alberta, British Columbia and Sas katchewan plan to participate in the annual meeting. Young's complaint that the commission listens to other minorities (why not to the sportsmen), Bowles declared that in the five years he has been on the commission no one has come before the com mission without being heard. "There are M million peo ple in Oregon," Bowles added, "just 263,000 of them held deer tags last year." First To Ttstify First to testify at the meet ing was Brian Mercer of Med ford, who asked that the sea son and bag limits for archers not be curtailed. The archers take just one half of 1 per cent of the big game harvest, Mercer said. A different opinion on the archery season was voiced by William Doernbach of Med ford. representing the Oregon Sportsmen's club of Jackson county. Make the archery sea son the same as the other hunting season, he suggested, adding that the archers har rass the game and flush the elk and deer out of their usual places before the regular hunt ing season opens.

Shannon Powell of the MIT Department of Naval Archi tecture and Marine Engineer ing said, "I wouldn't like to have one setting under Bos ton Harbor, but at the depth the Thresher sank, 8.000 feet, there'd be no' danger." complained. "There is too much livstock on the range." A still stronger opinion, re garding the infractions of live stock, was heard from Ken neth R. Buxton, Medford. "I believe deer and elk should have preference over cattle." he declared. "The hunters contribute more money to the state than grazing fees do." Otto Hcckert of Jackson ville maintained that the deer are just about at the "end of the trail" in his pica for elim inating the doe season. He called for the show of hands which was later recorded to show the majority agreed with him. His statements were given loud applause in the overcrowded auditorium. Answering references to the diminishing antelope herds in Oregon, now nearing extinc tion, Bowles pointed out that there have been no doe ante lope permits issued in Oregon. Not Short of Don "It's fawns, not docs we're short of," Don Garner of Medford volunteered. "Where did they go?" he asked. "The doe hunters didn't get them, they couldn't hit a fawn. If you fellows would get out of your cars and go into the brush, you'd find deer," he added, intimating that cars are responsible for the short age. He said he had hunted for years, and had hunted when venison was the only meat he had to eat. Traffic was also blamed for a great loss of deer, when Wayne Turpin of Medford testified. He referred particu larly to the interstate herds. Bill Brewster of Central Point called for a more com prehensive method of count ing deer but described hunt ing here "as great." Bowles answered that no herd in the United States has had more study devoted to it than the interstate deer herd moving between California and Oregon. The count used is the one devised by Oregon Stale university, Bowles ex plained. Never Killed a Deer Joe R. Hosick of Medford opened his testimony with the statement that he had never killed a deer, then gave his explanation of the shortage. There were 77,659 deer killed in Oregon in 1952 and 131, 638 in 1962, he said. He advo cated issuing a doe tag one year and a buck tag the next. Hank DcVoss of Talent, speaking for the Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton League, asked that the present form of big game management be continued, based on biological research by trained personnel. j VALUE-PACKED BUDGET PRICES fer nun .. . 17 jeweli .J ler.eiquiiitt UK motit . .. 17 itweli. j IU Iff wotth ...woter-miit- L Tht lorone.i ... 17 jtwali . . . lovely dreit band. -?-:- -- man'i . . . vroter-rciiit- ant con. 17-jtwtl Baylor . . . fothioflabU otctiing band.
