Questionnaires
On Game Mailed
Twenty thousand hunters will as
sist the game commission the next
few weeks in the annual survey
to determine how many big game
animals, game birds, and water-
fowl were taken during the 1965
seasons.
The 20,000 individuals selected
at random from more than 325,000
licensed hunters have been asked
to give their individual reports on
success or failure last year. Mail
ing of questionnaires to this group
was completed this week.
Phil Schneider, state game di
rector, requested that recipients of
the questionnaires answer all ques
tions and record accurately suc
cess as well as failure during last
year’s hunt. The questionnaire
must then be returned to the game
commission.
Schneider advised Oregon hunt
ers that information from the ques
tionnaires is used to compute the
total game kill for the year. The
game kill includes that for deer,
elk, upland game birds by spe
cies, and for all species of water-
fowl.
Statisticians report that total
kill figures obtained from this ran
dom sample of hunters—about se
ven percent of the total—are ex
tremely accurate. For deer, the
accuracy of the total kill is plus
or minus slightly less than one
percent. The accuracy of the elk
kill and that for upland game
birds and waterfowl is also close
to the one percent margin of er
ror figure.
Total kill figures for the 1965
season will be available in late
February or early March.

This ATLAS tire is rounder than
the tires now on your car!
This is the new Atlas Plycron. Its unique round
shoulder design delivers up to 8,000 more miles of
wear than original tires on most new cars. How?
A special, Atlas-designed mold that can stamp a
tire to within three thousandths of an inch of a
perfect circle. This means increased tread area—
with weai- distributed more evenly.
And there’s the Atlas Gripsafe, the wonder tire
in the budget price field. More conventional than
the Plycron, it will still outperform far more ex-
pensve tires.
The Chevron ABOVE ALL means service.
