From here, there are many ways to go, but what I had in mind was in regard to preference of what game most hunters like, and what opportunities there are. This is in a general sense, not selecting a particular species. What I am getting at is, I often feel that deer hunting creates the most fever and fervor, and therefore demands most of the attention of the public, the landowners, the sporting goods dealers, and yes, even the conservation agencies of many states. But the fact of the matter is, while you might not hear as much about it, more hunters spend more time in search of small game. Even more important, I firmly believe that a lot more time and effort would be » I illl IIIIV TmW ’ 17 V. v z ww wr^ •>**•*'*' XI JA4, 4E w' Air/ If ■4r^v’^iT 4 Fstz < V» W Y • v \ ^ATyTiX • vO^Mr . v I'M VI v JW»11 W \ W®wi Aw jA»UJ _T ■’ < V^Wl mat \I W GV?

W. L. HUMPHRIES & WILLIAM i spent on small game, if only 1 more hunters had a place to i hunt. । You have to take into i consideration, at this point, i that most deer hunters also go I after small game . . .or perhaps 1 you could reverse that < statement, or better yet, 1 simply say that a great many hunters go after both big game I and small game. < And you also have to < realize that for the most part, ’ seasons on small game are a good deal longer than deer I season. 1 In addition, you must 1 realize that there is a great ’ deal more land open to the : public for deer hunting, than ! for small game, most of which 1 is in game management areas. 1 And that’s what I'm getting at. ■' More effort is exerted by some < conservation agencies in I providing good deer hunting than for small game. Someone is bound to tell me, at this point, that I’ve 1 backed myself into a comer, because just about all of the game management areas have small game hunts too, and what’s more, there are more days open for small game than big game. I’ll admit that’s right. . .but these areas are still basically deer habitat, and not particularly suited for most small game. Yes, where there are deer there are squirrel. But have you hunted in thick deer woods lately for doves, quail and rabbits? Sure, you’ll find some but not as much as you would in good habitat. And I recall one quail hunt I went on a couple years ago in thick woods. 1 saw 13 covies of quail and at the eno of the day I’d hit one quail and 12 tree limbs. This is below average, even for such heavy cover, but while I don’t claim to be a top gunner, I’m honestly not that bad a shot. To prove this point, let me say that I’ve killed two birds on a covey rise several times and on one occasion, killed three quail on a single covey rise. Be all that as it may, if you’re looking for a place to hunt small game, game management areas can help solve the problem . Mountain areas are good for grouse and squirrel most years, though this season lacks luster. South Georgia areas are located with squirrels. Some areas have clearcut lands which provide good quail hunting. Oaky Woods is among the best in that category. A list of dates, locations, regulations and other information is included in the State Game and Fish Commission’s Managemer.* Regulations, available at the Atlanta office and all regional and district offices of the Commission. Might be worth looking into, if you’re among that big group of small game hunters. SNOW SURPRISE! Ll2£. a Snow is white, right? And light? An ephemeral sight? Well, each of these ideas is less correct than it sounds. Scientists say that snow is usually colorless, or off white. And some snow had been known to be red, green, even black depending on the dust particle around which the snowflake is formed. Sur prised? You may well be. Snow is full of surprises. The wind and sun that bounce off the snow, for example, may cause painful sunburn, report the makers of Q.T., a product which safely tans the skin in three to five hours with or without the sun.

Even before selecting your china and glassware, you promised yourself to be a new type of dinnerware owner —an everyday user. No packing it 0- away into the recesses of a cabi net or stacking it high on the top kitchen shelf for you. More and more of today’s homemakers are following your footsteps. Gone are the days of using the best dinnerware only on very special occasions, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most women approach the : problem of pattern selections in the same way—with careful con sideration and lots of thought. Your china and crystal should reflect your style of living, your tastes—whether they’re very for mal or more homey and casual. In making this decision, home makers are wise to keep in mind that whatever the choice, their TOS THEATRE PEMBROKE SHOW TIME: —Th«»tr« Ope*' P-idty & Sat urday eact* waak Friday NlflM at t:00 P M.

With proper care, fine china and crystal will have a long life so it’s im portant to select patterns with personal, and therefore timeless, appeal. But the decision to use your very best every day, calls for more kitchen organization—es pecially in storing. Like most homemakers, you find that your kitchen doesn’t have an over abundance of cabinet and cup board space. And yet, stacking dishes and crowding glasses may lead to chipping and breaking— just what you’re trying to avoid! How to make the best use of available space and yet take proper care of your dishes —that’s the problem. At least it is until you discover the space-saving storage ideas from Rubbermaid, especially the dinnerware rack. It holds enough dishware for a serv ice-for-eight, and has separate places for dinner, bread-and-but ter and dessert plates as well as saucers. And there’s room for cups, too. They are suspended on a slide-out rack beneath the din ner plates. Made of sturdy impact styrene, the rack offers protection for your finest dinnerware and convenience for you. Your storage problems are solved, but how about washing and drying the dishes? For pro tection, wash them in a plastic dishpan or use a sink liner mat. Rinse the dishes in very hot water and let them “drip-dry” in a dish drainer. Select one that fits in a twin sink bowl,orteam the drainer with a drainer tray and place them on the counter next to the sink. If you're lucky enough to have a dishwasher, don’t hesitate to use it for your very best wares. But, be sure to investigate tne type of glaze on your china. Most fine china available today is finished with a protective over glaze which makes it suitable for machine dishwashing. , Herman Talmadge ’ REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE (EDITOR S NOTE: The following is Senator Talmadge's final column for /969. His weekly newspaper reports from Wash ington will be resumed when the Second Session of the 91st Congress convenes in January.) THE NATION IS ABOUT to end another year under the ter rible shadow of the war in Vietnam. Although the intensity of the fighting may have slackened somewhat and some troops returned home, there has been no easing of the frustration and even anger of Americans toward this war. It has been a very unpopular war. probably more than any other in our history. Its unpopularity has grown more severe with each passing month, not only among the so-called "silent majority,” but also in the militant and radical minority. The people have been caught in a bind. They have seen their government refuse to make any kind of effort to achieve a military victory. And. at the same time, they have seen the government likewise refuse to end the war by withdrawing. • » » AMERICAN CITIZENS NEED UNITY now as never before We need to heal the wounds that have been opened by this war. and which have been festering for more than fix years. in-Chief, and as long as he is making an earnest effort to bring the The nation can have only one President and one Commander war in Vietnam to a timed and orderly conclusion, he should have our support. To persist in demonstrating against the government gives aid and comfort to the enemy. It further stymies our efforts in Paris. It pushes further away the date when the last U.S. combat soldier can be removed from the battlefield. This, of course, is what we all want. Increased division among our people will make this goal all the more difficult to attain. We all hope and pray for peace in 1970, and the stronger and more unified we are. the better will be our chances. $ $ • I WANT TO TAKE this opportunity to express my best wishes to all my friends and constituents in Georgia for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
