SOMEBODY ELSE '
The thought intruded: why were
those ducks sitting wilh their
necks up waiting for me to peer
through the bushes. I always prid-
ed myself on spotting ducks or
geese in this lake before they
spotted me so the obvious con-
clusion was: someone else scar?
ed them. Along the north side of
this lake there is a flat, mossy
shelf between the water and the
spruce with no over - hanging
fringe of bracken to hinder the
ducks from hopping up. Before
the season opens they use this
as a sunning bank. This bank is
roughly 200 yards long and I
noted it was covered with drop-
pings and packed down by hun-
dreds of roosting ducks. Weather
beaten feathers clung to the moss
and surrounding bushes. Some of
the droppings were bleached white
by the weather but I figured the
freshest were close to a week
old. The oldest would be appro-
ximately three weeks..

I estimated that over a thou-

may have been poachers but
they were also conservationists in
a way.. If those ducks had have
been left unmolested until Oc-

would have been five thousand
birds at the lake on opening

there in the old days when hun-
ters were few and far between.

I talked to a farmer who lives
in the line of flight between Pow-

me he never in his life before

them held as high as 75 ducks.

Sam (Toothpick) Jones broke
Dizzy Dean's St. Louis Cardinal

came the National League's first
200-strikeout hurler in 17 years
Thursday as he fanned eight
Chicago Cubs to give the Cards a

Vandermeer clicked for 202 while

For Jones it was his 12th win of
the season against 11 losses.

In the dressingroom afterward,
he shrugged off the fact of his
breaking Dean’s record, ‘I’m

CO-OPERATION NEEDED

If teacher and pupils will co-
operate well, it will be a start on
rehabilitation. It's a crime
against nature not to give the
gifted ‘ones a chance. It’s the
simplest thing imaginable to
place a couple of jumping stand-
ards in the ground 2 x 4s with
holes bored 142 or 2 inches apart
for wood or nail plugs, and a
eross’ bar. A special cup is of-
fered by a private citizen for
boys’ high jump. nee
Boys and girls should start to
practice. pronto —- The deadline
for entries is September 25th, but
that doesn’t bar entries at any
time. “‘The present day is the
