FRIDAY, JANUARY 17. 1947 THE NEWBERRY SUN RECRUITING SERVICE OF U. S. ARMY RECRUITED MILLION MEN LAST YEAR The United States Army recently announced that there would be no draft call in January. It also made the statement that the Army was overstrength. Not long ago, the Army announced that it was speed ing up the discharge of men who would not normally be due for dis charge for some months. In spite of all these statements and actions, the Recruiting Service has been stressing the great need for men. The call from the Re cruiting Service seemed to be a contridiction of all the other an nouncements made by the Army. However, upon looking into the matter, we find that the war de partment is following a very logi cal course in the interest of effi ciency and economy. The War Department desires an all volunteer Army in the interest of efficiency. The volunteer sol dier performs his task better and more cheerfully, since he is in the Army by his own choice. This is the reason for the Army avoiding selective service, except as a last resort. ATOM DOWN ON FARM Experiment^ with Carbon 14, the radioactive matter from the atomic laboratories of the Army at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, show that the nutrition value of grass can be changed to make cows produce higher butter-fat milk, HANDICAPPED VETERAN PASSES DRIVERS TEST 4 Charles B. Quinn, Whitmire, a local Newberry county boy, was one of six South Carolina veterans of World War II who suffered spin al injuries which paralyzed them from the waist down, who have passed the state driving tests at McGuire Veterans Administration hospital in Virginia, using automo biles equipped with special devises. Edward i B. Turner, manager of the South Carolina regional office of the Veterans Administration, has been informed by Dr. Ed mund M. Ellerson, manager of the hospital, that Wade Mathis of Gaff ney, Roland McFadden of Gable, Billy Prickett of Columbia, Charles Quinn of Whitmire, Archie Schuler of Elloree and James Simpson of Woodruff recently passed the tests. These men found locomotion one of theii' chief problems. After long treatment, some were able to walk with braces and crutches, and others were able to get around in wheel chairs. Then came word that Cbngress had passed a law authorizing '.the Veterans Admini stration to provide them with new automobiles equipped with special devices to enable them to drive. Instruction in driving was given by women of the Red Cross Motor Corps at McGuire hospital.

DAVIS MOTOR COMPANY 1517 Main St. Newberry, S. C. Bv Tori Kesting Big game is on the increase in the United States, according to an exhaustive survey conducted by Ross Leonard, director of the Utah Fish and Game Department. The indicated gain in general . popula tion, which is counter to the gener al lay opinion, has been made in the face of much greater hunting pres sure in the last several years. Mr. Leonard’s figures are based on unusually detailed reports from 39 of the 48 states and from two Federal agencies, the Forest Serv ice and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Twenty-six states reported their deer herds have increased in the last ten years. Forty states had deer hunts in 1945. Fifteen states said they had insufficient deer for the ranges available, 11 said they had optimum deer populations and two said they had large areas that contain deer numbers ranging from excessive to insufficient. Only five states said their deer herds are de creasing. National Forest lands showed an increase of 51 per cent over the last 10 years. The bag limit among the states ranged from one to five per season. Of 16 states having elk in a wild state, eight felt they had insuffi cient numbers for the available range. Seven reported optimum elk populations and one state (Ne vada), with only one small herd, re ported it has excessive population for the range. Ten of the 16 states said their elk herds had increased in the last 10 years and four re ported a decrease. The Forest Service estimated a 36 per cent in crease the last 10 years, but no change since 1941. Eleven slates had an open season on elk last year. Ten states have moose popula tions. Four reported insufficient numbers for the available range and three reported optimum num bers. Three said their moose are increasing, one reported they are decreasing. Two states had an open season on moose last year. Seventeen states have an ante- Ipe population and 10 had open season in 1945. In general, these herds are on the increase. Mountain goats occur in only lour states and the population trend is uncertain, but below the optumum. Idaho and Montana had an open season Iasi year. Mountain sheep occur in 12 states and 11 reported they are present in insufficient numbers for the range. Five states said they are decreasing, three that they are increasing. Only one state ‘Wyom ing), permitted hunting in 1945. As a species, these animals are in a precarious condition. Hunter distribution and education will become an increasingly im portant factor in game manage ment if adequate and equitable hunting privileges are to be assur ed in the seasons for game yet to come.
