Still lim
By BILL JENKINS
Although the official duck sea
son has come to an end there is
still a little fodder for the old
scattcrgun before you hang it up
for the summer.
The season on the lowly coo',
continues through next Fridav.
And there is no lack of the birds
in the Basin. Almost anywhere you
go you will find whole flocks of
them. Herds of them roaming the
hills around the stubble fields
masses of them along the high
ways, groups of them scouring the
fence lines, bands of them pad
dling about in the canals and lit
tie ponds, strings of them flutter
ing along the drain ditches.
A few less along the llyway
would mean that much more food
for the better ducks.
You can hunt them with only an
up to date hunting license, no bii'i
stamp required. They are not a
mieratory walerlowl but are list
ed as a migratory game bird in
the same class with the pigeons
You can shoot up to 25 a day.
A few hints on cleaning them in
the field:
Cut through the back bone alonj
the body, being careful not to cu'
too deep and get into the entrails
Pull entrails' out toward tail. Cut
off tail section which is attached
. to entrails. Wash or shake out re
maining blood. Head and feel
should be left on for field identifi
cation by game officers, if any.
If you take the whole bird with
you at the end of the day it s
. an easy chore to skin the birds
by merely cutting off the wings
near the body and stripping off
the whole.shooting match. The eas
iest of all the water birds to clean
and they have proportionately
more meal for their weight than
any other. Most of them will av
erage around two pounds.
We have run a few recipes in
the past. Another simple one Is
Southern Fried Coot.
Roll pieces of coot in well sea
soned flour or bread crumhs. Fry
In hot deep fat (365-380 degree.
about ten minutes or until brown
.Fry a few pieces at a time and
remove Ihcm to a covered frying
pan or Dutch oven. Bake slowly
(300 degrees) for 25 to 30 minutes
For shallow-fat frying cover ho!
lorn of kettle with one to two
inches of fat and proceed as for
deep fat frying, aiming when
browned on under side Serve witn
cream gravy, candied sweet pola
toes, spinach, crisp relishes, south
ern spoon bread and cranberry
jtlly.
Then, as the old hunter says
"If you've never tried It, don't
knock it."
If anyone wishes more diverse
or fancier recipes drop in and I'll
pass 'cm along.
Only have one copy of the reci
pes or I'd mail 'em out.
Along the game trail: Down in
the deep south, Sav.mnah, Geor
gia, to be exact, the local sports
men are putting up a howl that
is long, loud and plaintive.
They say that hundreds of aero:,
at nearby Fort Stewart, a mili
tary reservation, have heen sowed
to wild (Kits.
This is attracting all the dra
in the country to the area. And
only military personnel are al
lowed to hunt in the area
So you can readily see that Ihi :
business of hunting is one that car
ries a good deal of weight with it.
Last week the holler went up
in England. Today it is Georgia
Soon you'll hear the wail from
other sections.
And it will get louder as more
and more ol the hunl'ng areas are
either gobbled up by a greedy mili
tary or turned into subdivisions id
build leaky-rooted houses on And
as more and more individuals turn
lo the "great outdoors' lor recre
ation. Of which hunting is a part.
High time to do s.ime serious
thinking.
In the meantime, lei's ga on'.

a mallard.
are a typical example of the fair
ness and justice that is the United
States in comparison with other
countries of the world.
In Cuba, Castro and his firm?
squads are busy consolidating the
rebels hold on the government
The elected assembly has been
dissolved and the government will
rule by decree.
They are widely quoted as hav-
ing said they give the executed
victims "fair" trials. Castro has
even boasted that in Cuba. "We
havo more democracy than in the
United States."
But the facts should serve to
cram the words bark down Cas
tro's throat.
How would the people of this
country have felt, if. in 1952
after coming to power, the Repub
Means promptly lined up all the
top echelon Democrats against the
wall and eliminated them with a
firing squad burst.
We'd all have been pretty horn
lied, and from that point on we'1
try to make certain that we were
on the winning side of any elec
tion or any revolt. To be on the
losing side would be to stand be
fore a firing squad.
I admit that it might be one
way lo make certain that yo'J
win all future elections, and it
might be a little hard on the party
that loses the election, and, if that
is the case, you don't mind if I
register as an Independent, do
you?
Seriously, though, this incident
alone, indicates how much we are
out-of-louch with the thinking of
other nations of the world.
In Russia, they subscrihe to the
same philosophy. There is only one
party, the Communist party. When
they came to power, they did it
the same way" as Castro, by elimi
nating all their opposition either
via the firing squad or via a one
way trip to Siberia.
The same is true of other dic
tatorships throughout the world.
Hitler perpetuated his power by
killing millions of innocent people.
Libeling it as for "the good of
the German race."
The fted Chinese admittedly
have executed many millions of
Chinese since they took over. They
hold the firing squad as the rul
ing sword.
If there were any oilier proof
needed that the Unjled States is
truly the "Christian" nation of the
world, this should supply it.
The awful vengeance of the Old
Testament compares with the love
of the New Testament as Cuba
ompares with the United Stales
To me, events in Cuba are sick
ening, indeed, in this day and ago
of so-called enlightened people.
Yellows No. 1, No. 2. No. 3 and
No. 4 have come under the dis
approving eye of the Food and
Drug Administration and they are
expected to be ruled out.
Personally, we can think of no
lood or cosmetic containing artifi
cial yellow coloring that we would
miss.
But orange is something else
again.
Traditionally, grandmothers have
added a little box of candied or
ange peel to the Christmas goodies
sent to their sons' and daughters'
families. (We don't know exactly
why it has to be grandmother;
but that's the way :.t is). ,
If oranges aren t orange any
more, there is going to be a serious
loss at Christmastime as well as
the remainder of the year.
And that loss will be felt by
three and four generations now
living.
Buy a bag of green oranges?
Never.
Maybe what will happen is that
oranges, as fresh fruit, will disap
pear from our marked and every
body will be reduced to drinking
his daily orange from a can or
reconstituted frozen orange juice
At least, nature has made sure
the inside of the orange is still
orange.

There is a strange, trasic com
parison between the Cuban "bloo,!
bath" and the United Stairs elec
(ions.
In Cuba, firing squads are busy
liquidating the supporters of th
fallen Batista government.
After 20 years in power, the Ba
tista government fled the country
under pressure of the rebel a'-
tacks, and Fidel Castro and his
motley crew took over.
In 1352, the Republicans cap
tured the While House alter the
Democrats had occupied It for 20
years.
But there, any similarity end
thank goodness.
' The two handlings ol the matter

We seem lo be about to lose an
other standard we have known al!
our lives.
The federal Food and Drug Ad
ministration wants to ban Red No
32, the coal tar color which is
used to put a deep orange color
into the peel of Florida oranges
Oranges have always been or
ange.
Orange is a standard. It is a
positive. It is a thing.
And now it appear.; that maybe
it isn't so at all.
Congress is being'asked by Wel
fare Secretary Fleming to pass new
legislation adding further control
over the use of color additives in
food, drugs and cosmetics. Nino-
teen coal tar colors were on the
original permitted list. Only 12 of
the total are still deemed harm
less.
Florida orange growers will be
permitted to use lied No. 32 only
until March 1, when a tempor
ary law permitting its use expires.
Then, it is reported, perhaps
temporarily they will he permitted
to use Citrus Red No. 2, another
coal tar color, lo tint their oranges
while further research continues.
in American tour was the com
plaint this country had played
much too cozy with Latin Ameri
can dictators.
In August President Eisenhower
sent his brother, Dr. Milton Eisen
hower, president of Johns Hop
kins University, to Latin America
to look over the situation and re
port on how this country could im
prove its relations.
Dr. Eisenhower took months
preparing that report. He sent it
to the President, Dec. 27, just a
few days before Castro threw out
Batista.
Among other things Dr. Eisen
hower urged a stiffer policy to
ward Latin American dictators by
suggesting that while the United
States should embrace democrat
ic regimes it should give dictator
only "a formal handshake.".
On Jan. 7, six days after Ba
tista fled, the United States gave
Castro's provisional government
recognition.
This fast action may come un
der questioning in Congress par
ticularly if relations with Castro
grow worse since it was taken
before there was full time to see
how the Castro wind blew.

WASHINGTON (AP) Fidel
Castro, in power in Cuba only is
days, is already in a shouting
match with the United States al
though his revolutionary govern
ment was given speedy diplomat
ic recognition by this country.
Castro's long fight against the
dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista
reached .its climax Jan. 1 when
Batista fled. Castro's announced
purpose in overthrowing Batista
was to restore democracy to
Luna. .
What he has actually imposed
at least temporarily is anothe-
dictatorship. His government has
dismissed Congress and an
nounced it will rule by decree for
18 months, after which elections
can be held.
No observer in Washington can
say whether such delay is justi
fied or not.
But Castro's tactics since his
victory in approving mass execu
tion by firing squads of Batista
followers and in his violent at
tacks on the United States raije
questions.
Was his long fight against Ba
tista simply that of a patriotic
but emotional man who lacked
the vision to plan long-range for
orderly government Or was he
practical enough to do such plan
ning
His angry outbursts against the
United States seemed prompted
by American criticism of the
mass executions.
He repeated charges quickly
denied by the State Department
that the United States provided
arms aud aid to Baiista's defeat
ed forces.
But Castro went turther than
merely attacking American pol
icy. He said: "We are more dem
ocratic than President Eisenhow
er. W'c are more democratic than
John Foster Dulles. There is mor
liberty here than in the United
States."
Castro's fatigue, his anger at
criticism, or just poor judgment
may have heen the root of thes
bitter attacks.
If the State Department seems
in the light of Castro's present
perlormancc lo have been hasty
in granting him recognition, at
least this country had been al
ready made self-conscious abou1
its dealings with Latin American
dictators.

Approximately 72,000 compensa
tion and pension cases, added to
Ihe rolls of the Veterans Adminis
tration after World War II, have
required adjustment in the claims
review now underway, it was re
ported recently.
The actual number of adjust
ments is 71,958 and is cumulative
to September 30, 1958, VA an
nounced. It involves 9.1 per cent
of the 791,372 cases reviewed to
that dale.
Included in the adjustments were
7,638 instances of increases in
monthly payments to reflect a wor
sening in degree of disability. Im
provement in the degree of disa
bility with accompanying decreas
es in monthly payments occurred
in 27,179 cases. There were 37,141
terminations of payment.
Breaking down this last figur
of 37.141 terminations, 23,027 were
ended primarily because of an im
provement in disability to a level
no longer justifying monetary
awards. The remaining 14,114 were
terminated after VA found "clear
and unmistakable error" in asso
ciating the disability with the pe
riod of military service.
Of the 23,027 veterans whose pay
ments ceased because of an im
provement in disability, service
connection was confirmed in al
most all cases and these veteran;
may be returned to the compensa
tion rolls if their service-connected
ailments again become disab
ling, VA said.
Veterans "involved in adverse
changes have the right of appeal
to the Board of Veterans Appeals
if they believe that the changes
were not justified.

plan, I intend to do so. But what
about some of the other advantages
of permanent plan GI insurance?
Will I be able to borrow on it?
A Yes, provided your policy is
in full force, under the law. Tha
policy also will have other advan
tages of permanent plan insurance,
such as a paid up and a casn
surrender value, and, of course, a
stable premium rate.

May when he took his 13-year-old
