the game authorities are vigilant
in detecting unlawful killing of deer
ft Is almost impossible to bring all
the guilty to justice.
Legal  Saaeea WUl Open Hfjiafcyo*
Heal Week Fee* IS Daya
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania will
have but twelve daya of the big
game hunting season, aa the season
-opens on Sunday, December 1, and
closes Sunday, December 15, thus
depriving them of two days, as
hunting ia the state is prohibited
oa the firet day of the week commonly called Sunday. Ths d'eer and
bear hunting season is the one oat
standing avast for the sportsmen
ta the commonwealth and annually
the wilds of the state are alive with
sportsmen, not alone from Pennsylvania but from many of the neigh-
bring states. Sportsmen go out
from all sections and many of
them have permanent lodges in the
fastness of the mountain. Here they
asa*** during the season and enjoy
the great wide open and are exhil-
erated over the trophies captured.
Thousands of deer are taken ta
Pennsylvania each year sad with all
the large amount taken by the
sportsmen each recurring season
finds the woods alive with the
fleet-footed animals until now the
state has become a hunter's paradise
for the big fallows.
With the opening of the deer
and bear season, ths legal limit of
the small gssas season will come to
a doss. In the chase for rabbits,
squirrels and pheasants the hunters
report much success, although ta
some localities rabbits were quite
scarce. Not many wild turkeys
were taken from the hills surrounding Bellwood.
For the information of big game
hunters the State Board of Game
Commis*3ioniers publteh tiie following and should prove of much value
to  the sportsmen:

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION
From the earliest daya of our Nation the American people have
set aside one full day each year to give thanks to Almighty Gad
for the blessings they have enjoyed.
We are now emerging from a dark period ta our history, a
period of desperate need and widespread suffering. Our tpeeopleonce
again see resuming their ■normal activities after a national economic catastrophe that   threatened for a time to destroy us.
We have cause this year ts thank the Divine Providence for
til* fruit* of recovery, and to rejoice that the leaders of -our Nation have had the courage, snd the wisdom, to lead us from the
abyss of despair into the light of a new and better day.
We have reason to give thanks *fpr tha fortitude and faith of
our people, which sustained our Nation through the most troubled
hours ta all tta history.
We canntot but rejoice that are are at peace with the nations
of the world, that we have been able and willing'to feed and clothe
the thousands of unfortunate victims af our disordered economic
system, that a great humanitarian leadership has saved the Republic
from those forces which threatened to destroy it, and that our historic ideals of democracy have been defended and upheld by those
in high places.
We must give thanks that our people are finding employment,
that our workers ta mill and farm and office^ enjoy a new security
through the safeguards which have bean erected to save them from
the hazards of economic conditions beyond their control.
THEREFORE, I, George H. Earle, Governor of tha Common*-
wealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby designate and proclaim Thursday,
November 28, 1985, to be observed by the people of the Commonwealth se a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, to be spent ta appreciation of the joys of ordinary living, the blessing of home aad
children, the goodwill of neighbors, the companionship of friends,
and the serenity of common faith.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the Commonwealth, ta the City of Harrisburg, this 15th day of November ta
the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thlrty-fivle,
and of tha Commonwealth of the one hundred and sixtieth.
GEORGE H. EARLE.
THANKSGIVING  TIME   AGAIN
Thanksgiving time is again with
us when the great festival is Toeing
celebrated throughout the width
and breath of our land. It scarcely
seems possible that this joyous occasion has again arrived, bat time
is ever oh the wing and never ceaa-1
odgers  production  and  is one  of   the antlerless deer season, according   **••*• Tnere •» nxuah for which most Leecretary^ read  the     Thanksgiving
' PAY $15,000 IN FINES
Although the season is only half
. over, Upwards of $15,000 for game
violations have been collected as a
result of prosecution by the field
officers which comprise the regular
district game protector and 300 deputies that are employed during
the hunting season.
The fines came from many hunters from other states who were
gunning -on -resident hunter's licenses onstead of on. non-resident
banter's license. The minimum! fee
for a nan-resident is $15 ssd the
"penalty for failure to take out
sach a license ia $40.
Other penalties imposed were for
hunting without a license,.' killing
song birds, shooting from automobiles, pre-season hunting, exceeding
the bag limit, hunting on Sunday,
possession of deer in closed season,
spot-lighting deer, hunting on borrowed lioenises, usinlg automatic
guns, hunting small game at night,
killing ring-neck pheasant hens,
having fur bearing animals ta closed season and trans-porting game
ont of the State.
One one day day, November 12,
the game commission colected $1789
in fines, the largest amount collect-
ad ta a single day in the past several years.
MULCH STRAWBERRIES
In preparing the strawberry
patch for the winter, mulching generally ia considered a desirable practice, Say Penn State fruit specialists. The mulch saves many-plants
from cold weather, prevents heav-
tad, aad delays blossoming ta the
sari** spring. Wheat straw ia taa
a%t ssstariaL
to W. C. Shaffer, Acting executive
Secretary of .tiie Board of Game
Commissioners, who, in an announcement clarified thia and other
questions which have not been dear
to many nimrods.
The regular buck season begins
December 2 and closes December
11, during which period only male
deer having two or more points to
the antler may be legally taken.
The antlerless deer season begins
Dcember 12 and closes December
14, during which only antlerless
deer raay be legally taken.
SPIKE BUCKS are protected at
all times.
An individual may kill -only one
deer, either a legal buck or an
antlerless deer. He may not kill one
of each as the hunters suppose.
The counties open to antlerless
deer included Bradford, Cameron,
Centre, Clearfield, Clinton Elk,
Forest, Lycoming, McKean, Pike,
Potter, Sullivan, Tioga, and Warren.
A hunter who kills an a ntlerless
deer must keep it regardless of its
size or weight. Any attempt to
evade this regulation will make a
hunter liable to'immediate prosecution.
A camp or hunting party which
has not taken its camp limit of six
during the buck season may complete their limit with antlerless deer
in any of the counties open to antlerless deer in any of the counties
open  to  antlerless deer.
Antlerless deer must be reported
to the Board of Commissioners within 72 hours after killing. Cards for
this purpose were handed out with
the 1935 hunting license, but ta
case you did not receive any, you
can secure them either from your
local Game Protector or from the
Commission at Harrisburg.
Remember theh carcass of an ant*
lerless deer my not be consumed at
the camp, unless such camp haippens
to be the permanent residence of
one  of the camp members.
Remember also to wear plenty of
red and to be especially careful while
hunting near C.C.C. and W.P.A.
camps. Over 200,000 CCC and
about the same number of WPA
workers will be in the fields and
woods during the deer season and
the killing or injuring of one of
these Individuals would reflect much
justified criticism on tho part of
Pennsylvania hunters generally.
aU  are, or  should, be  tfauikfui,   yet
with all let us give thanks for the
manifold blessings which have been
enjoyed aa a nation and as individual. Tha dark clouds of the depression which have enveiled us for the
past five years, seems to be lifting
and here and there are many brght
spots  upon  the    business    horizon,
giving evidence that we are   about
to enter upon an ere of better conditions.  Thousands  of good Americans are steadily going off the relief rolls and getting back to work.
That means for them, the daya of
hysteria,     despair,    privation    and
even  outright suffering  are over. It
means  from     starvation   diet    the
family will have enough good food'
it means that from rags and tatters
there    will be warm clothing    and
nw   shoes for he whole family;   if
the home owner will have a chance
to pay up the back taxes, head off
a sheriff sale and retain the home.
With the steady upturn ta business the vicious circle of the depression has definitely been broken. It
means as one line of industry gets
going others will fall ta line because of increased orders. Then,
again, this nation should be generally thankful that we are at peace
with the world and dark war clouds
do not enshroud the land. And may
it ever be thus.

NO SUBSTITUTE
A noted commentator on Ameri-
„„,..„ „ ,-„„-.. .— w-..uo ™ . C*U1 m* of today has writtsn that
education were present and enjoyed the *™**e small town "stands at
the e-ts-nises, which opened with:   |the cr08S ro—<*-" He reasons    that
the small town that stands too long
ia doomed—it will go backward and
eventually die.
There is much food for thought
in what he says. We can't stand
still witout being passed by same-
body who is advancing. And when
we see somebody going by we realize that we are slipping. Unless
some heroic methods are used at
once we are. lost—-drifting backwards.
It's a searching question every individual should ask himself—is the
place where I live drifting toward
oblivion? If so, am I responsible
equally with my fellow townsmen?
TV.- I think only of getting something for myself .and never giving
anything in return?
What does a family want in a
town' or city? Good churches, good
schools, good neighbors, good jobs,
'and a chance to make a living? Am
I doing my share to make conditions
so that people will want to live
here? This is the question for every
citizen to ask himself.
Every live place wants to grow
and prosper. Therefore, it must be
inviting. To attract new enterprise)
and new residents, its people must
be friendly and fair and' somewhat
harmonious, it must have leaders
with a vision and a definite program  toward  which  to  work.
And there must be an organization to carry out the program. All
the vision of dreamers, the inspiration of leaders avail nothing unless the people are moved by ths
-light spirit, have a clear vision \ot
(■the community's possibilities, are
hitched up to a definite program,
have a good live 'organization to
carry it out and are willing to do
some unselfish for the good of all. *
