Many of us have the idea that geothermal power can be found by drilling into the center of a hot springs area. This is not necessarily so. The actual source of the hot springs is sometimes found many miles away and thousands of feet below the surface. Geothermal energy of any appreciable amount is still in tomorrow’s world. Until we find a decent substitute for coal let’s use the coal and ease the situation in some areas that are being hurt badly.

Those signs mean that the hunting rights have been reserved by the ow ners for tlie benefit of a drive to raise funds to improve the baseball and recreational ti- cllities at the old CCC camp patk site in Cow Hollow. The children in the Cow Hol low community have been using the < amp baseball diamond tor years, but there is no drinking water, no grass, no sanitary facilities and no accominoda- tions tor spectators at the games. The older folks have wanted a picnic area tor com munity get-togethers for a long me too, and have de< ided to raise some money to fill this community need. The landowners in the area have contributed the hunting rights to over 8,000 acres of choice hunting lands in the area. The Babe Ruth, Little League, Peewee League and Girls Softball teams and their parents have been selling sea son hunting permits on the lands posted with the pink ' no hunting” signs. Tlie tickets are available for $10 and entitle the hunter to gain access to any and all lands so posted as many times as they wish and as often as they wish during the regular bird season. Hunters must check with land owners before hunt ing, however, as land ow ners reserve the right to limit the number of hunters and the area to 1» hunted at any time. Of course hunters will be ex pected to observe gun safety rules and to conduct themsel ves as sportsmen. Maps showing the locations of reserved lands will be avail able prior to the opening of hunting season.
