—The deer hunting season opens
on Friday, when thousands ef Nim-

the forests of Pennsylvania have
become tha paradise of the hunters,
not aloes from this state, but from
many of the adjoining states, aa
well as others. Fifty yeara ago it
waa not uncommon for residents of
this community who wees inclined
toward hunting, to go out on tha
nearby hills and secure _aaay deer
during the open season. At that
time tt was apparent to these hunters that it would not be many
yeara until deer would become extinct and tt was at this juncture,
with the co-operation of the sportsmen, that the state stepped in and
took a head and instituted the
game commission. Through well directed efforts the deer, bear, as well
sa the elk, have come back, sad today the mountainous sections of tha
commonwealth fairly teem wtth
their presence. Even in our awn locality dear teems ts be more plentiful thee rabbits.

ErnOat E. Hardwood, E_ecu)tive
Secretary af the Game Commission
tn a personal appeal to all deer
hunters. It takee only a fsw cant-
to buy all tha red cloth you need
and but a fsw minutes to sew it on.
Some hunters think becasue they
wear a one-time red, but now
faded, hunting cap that they have*
all the protection they need, Har-
wood added. But they want to get
thia idee out of thatr minds. Alto ha

But leaning over to gat it his red

Sf the hunter bending over hia
kill, lad the newcomer to believe
ha was looking at a deer. On top of
that, a forked sapling perhaps 50
feet on the other side of tha bonding hunter appeared, to the now
stretched imagination of the other
hunter, to take the form of a big
buck, end he fired and 'killed his
fellow hunter. Now if he had worn
red over his back he probably
would be alive today, and the other
chap would have been spared the
mental torture that will ba Iris for
the rest of hia life. You may say
you don't care to wear red. Don't
take this attitude. Wear.it te keep
the other fellow from, making a
mistake. Become accident minded,

Another Thanksgiving Day -$*p-
on us, a day established and . Set
aside by our Pilgrim Fathers for
the purpose of expressing thanes
for blessings that had been bestow*-

since the first Thanksgiving day
thia country has seen other lesn
years and still entered into thia day
with tha same flee courage exhibit-
ad by our Pilgrim Fathers..
Now we are once mora called upon to observe tho day and checkup
on our blessings,    whether    it   be
good health, employment or say
af the other essentials of happiness
we should all find something for
which to be thankful sad get the
most out of Thanksgiving Day.

I beseech each aad every deer hunter who goes afield this year to do
his part in preventing additional
accidents. Every effort that the
Game Commission puts forth, and
all the money that ia spent to help
hunters to (become accident minded
is worthwhile, if it saves only one
life.
Anther thing: Be careful when
hunting near Citizens" Conservation Camps. The boya in these camps
are doing much to help forward
your interests by building fire

with these camps or working crews,

much justified criticism of our
hunters generally.
The presence of these Conservation Camps, if ths hunter is new at
the game, may well serve the purpose of providing a land mark upon
:*which he can fix his general location at all times. Study the entire
lay of the land before you start out
S»d you will find, that with serious
application, it won't be long before
you are able instinctively to get

In conclusion Mjr. Harwood asked all hunters to be good sports,
calling attention to the old adage
'It always has paid-It always does
pay i It always will pay—To Play
Safe.'

which was, "A Nation Returns
Thanks,'*
"Ant approximate 814 years
ago," Mr. Fuoss said,"a courageous
little aaad of Pilgrims came to
America to prepare the soil for the
future greatness of this Republic.
These Pilgrim Fathers were Godfearing and far-sighted. We of today are the descendents, and ws
may well take lessons from their
courage, ^honesty emhi    dijlige-cle."
The speaker stressed the need
for a prompt return to the essentials of sound Americanism, embracing, he said, a faith tn the
ivery institutions of the land. He
aald one of the principal needs of
America today is to appreciate the
great suffering and trials of the
Pilgrim Fathers; the dangers that
beset them and to take courage,
even today, from the examples they
est, guiding examplea of body, mind
and soul. America, he continued,
