Property Owners Assess Damage Done by Hunters By Jean Robert«» MEHAMA- A* hunting season draws to a close, people are as sessing the damage done by ir responsible hunters. Ercill Wilson had two cows shot on the Teagarden place, a favorite hunting spot One cow was dead and the other was shot in the leg and had to be destroyed. He also reported about $300 worth of tool* stolen during the season, from one log ging site. Dutch Deete found his cows out. A hunter had ’tiebbera’«>ir run over' his Mnce tv+th a jvep. just a few hundred feet from a gate. Not all the damage was done by hunters however. In the Whitney area a cattle drive had walked through an elk hunter’s camp. The hunters had used hay for bedding and the cows had completely demolished the camp and eaten the hay. Grant Smith. Art Andersen, and Don Smolke report losing an elk to other hunters. Smolke had shot the elk through the lungs and trailed the stream of blood down over the hill. The elk staggered to a fence, but was too weak to jump. Two hunters, hunting below the hill ran to the elk, hit it in the head with a hatchet and tied a tag on quickly before Smolke could get there. ! I Diabetes Tests To Be Given Free Mel Eide, local druggist this week said the Pharmaceutical Society of Marton and Polk counties, in cooperation with the Marion-Polk Medical Society, will sponsor a diabetes testing program in the two-county area «luring National Diabetes Week, November 17-24. An effort will be made to test as many people as possible in the two-county areas to de- tect unknown cases of diabetes. It 's estimated that there are 1.400.000 people in the United States who have contracted the condition without knowing it. There is no charge for the •est. Each person may obtain the test, called Dreypak from his local pharmacist. All drug stores in the two counties will tiave the tests available during the week or until supplies are exhausted. It is to be emphasized that this is not a fund-raising cam paign, but a public service pro vided by the pharmacists and Iihysician*. The only cost is two 5 cent stamps to be placed on >*nveiopes for mailing the test to a central laboratory tor test ing, and for the answer to the test Dreypaks are simple, easy- to-usc strips. Only Dreypaks submitted before midnight, Sun day. Nov. 24 can be tested. A postive or negative analy sis will be made as soon after the drive as possible. In addi tion each person’s family phy sician will be notified if a pos itive test results. The first diabetes detection drive was made in 1943 in Ohio and since then the program has spread to more and more areas This is the first program for the Manan-P<Hk eou« ’v area.
