Field Etiquette
, The problem of securing a good
place to hunt is one which confronts
many novitiate hunters each sea-
•on. Experienced hunters, too, have
difficulty in this respect when they
fnove into unfamiliar territories.
"For the individual who prac
tices all the simple, yet important,
rules of sportsmanship, these prob
lems become almost self-effacing
•when the word gets around that he
|s *the right sort of guy’,” says
Gail Evans, manager of the adver
tising, shooting promotion and pub
lic relations division of Remington
Arms Co., Inc.
“Very few gunners like to
hunt alone, and most of them
welcome congenial shoo ting
partners who speak the same
language. They are, however,
somewhat reluctant to run the
risk of getting stuck for a day
afield with some thoughtless or
careless chap who ignores the
niceties of field etiquette or
violates the unwritten laws of
sportsmanship. They make that
mistake with the same individ
ual only once.
*
“If you are fortunate enough this
peason to be invited to go hunting
with an experienced gunner who
knows how and where to take game,
watch your step carefully,” advises
Evans. “You can rest assured that
your every action is being observed
and while your friend will probably
make every effort to give you the
best of everything, you can just bet
your bottom dollar that you’re on
probation with him just the same,
f “There are a few little courtesies
which make up proper hunting de
meanor and which, if observed, will
put you in solid with your hunting
companion. They’ll come natural
after awhile, even if the import
ance of them is not immediately
obvious. And your observance of
them will make the day far more
pleasant, not only for your host,
but for you, too.
“Above all things, never take a
chance. Observe all the rules of
safety, even though your companion
doesn’t. You’ll impress him with
your caution.
“Give your companion all the
breaks. The accepted practice
Is to alternate on single shots.
The easiest way to make your
host mad is to try to 'wipe his
eye/
“Find out which side your com
panion shoots from . . . and then
take the other side. Never shoot
at birds flying your companion’s
way. It is an act of discourtesy to
shoot across a gunner’s front un
less you know his gun is empty.
Then explain your action to him.
“Don’t claim birds you are not
absolutely sure you killed. If there’s
the slightest doubt, don’t run /the
risk of being branded a 'claimer/
If your companion is ‘built that
way,* you’ll soon find out.
“Don’t try to handle your com
panion’s dogs. And never criticize
the dog’s faults. Praise his good
work and ignore the bap. Give the
dog a chance to retrieve your birds.
Look for it yourself only if absolute
ly necessary.
“And never hunt In your
friend's favorite spot which he
has shown you, unless he is
along or you have his consent.
Violation of this courtesy has
ted to the ending of many fine
friendships.
“There is an old saying to the ef
fect that ‘if you want to find out
about a man, get him in a poker
game or take him hunting.’ Re
member it when you accept that in
vitation and see that you so conduct
yourself as to warrant a repeat en
gagement. It’s a safe bet that the
word will get around and you won’t
Jbe long lacking for gunning part
ners.”
AAA
dtch Those Fires!
It must be remembered that
should an area be severely burned
it lays the soil open. The best part
t>f the soil is destroyed. To replace
this soil takes thousands of years.
Fire can easily destroy our water
sheds; lead to both wind and water
erosion of our soil; destruction of
homes for our wildlife; and without
this forest cover our clear cool
streams would be muddy and warm.
They would no longer present an
inspiring sight for the traveler or
seeker of good forest recreation.
Some people believe that a forest
lire stops when it reaches the end
of the forest. This is not necessarily
true. Were it so then homes, farms
and more important human life
would not be lost. Again it is im
perative that people be constantly
aware of the fire danger in forests.
AAA
Deadly Ignorance
The honest sportsman, pitting his
skill with a gun against the rush
of a quail, does not blaze away at
hedge birds. The true angler, offer
ing a fly or plug for bass, does not
attempt to snag on a bare hook
every fish he may see. Yet many a
nongame bird dies because a gun
ner wants to pull his trigger on a
target, many a useful snake is
stoned because a man knows only
that it’s a “snake,” many wild
creature is killed ignorantly. '
WOMAN'S WORLD
Proper Care of Winter Clothes
Yields More Satisfactory Wear
By Ertta Haley
r ’S SAID THAT people attain
greater cleanliness in the warm
weather than the cooler weather
because they bathe more frequently
and most hot weather clothes are
washable, while winter clothes
need more attention and thus get
less care.
However, since cold weather
clothing is more expensive, it is
reasonable that we give it more
care than less expensive ones, to
get full value for money spent.
Actually, it isn’t too difficult to
give winter wearables the attention
they need and should have. There
will be lots of satisfaction, too, in
the dividends that such clothes care
gives in better grooming and longer
wear.
It’s a good idea to read and save
labels which come with materials
and ready-made garments because
they give valuable clues to gar
ment care. Such items as sweaters
may be washed, if done carefully.
Many pieces of clothing which con
tain around 30% or less of wool
may also be washed by hand, if
the label tells you it has been
tested.
For garments which have to be
cleaned, keep the labels and give
them to the cleaner. He’ll appre
ciate it and will be able to do a
better job on the clothing which
means a nicer job all the way
around.
Spot cleaning done at home will
also save on cleaning bills, and eu-
Air woolens frequently . . .
ables you to be better turned out
every time you put the garment
on. Prompt attention to spots and
stains may save thri whole dress
or suit from being permanently
ruined.
Keep a well closed bottle of dry
cleaner in the purse, wrapped in
small cleaning cloth so it can be
applied promptly if you’re away
from home.
How Care for Clothing
Pays Big Dividends
Establish weekly and daily habits
of good care for clothing and
you’ll always have a well kept gar
ment to wear. When the routine is
firmly established, the time spent
will seem very little in compari
son with the big jobs that must be
done when clothes are neglected.
Plan to use a medium bristle
brush on all woolen and wool com
bination garments at least once
a week. This raises the nap and gets
rid of surface dust and dirt before
it becomes imbedded in the cloth
ing and dulls the finish and color.
Perspiration is harmful to most
fabrics be they cotton, wool, silk
or rayon. Dress shields can save
many a dress if you attach them
as soon as the clothing is made
Press properly for frequent wear.
or purchased. Change or launder
the shields frequently.
Proper hanging of the garments
will save cleaning and pressing.
Use hangers as soon as the gar
ment is removed and see that dress
or suit hangs perfectly straight.
Fasten the top buttons on dresses,
jackets and coats so that collars
and shoulders will not be dragged
out of shape.
Skirts should be hung from the
waistband. Blouses and jackets
will look better if you stuff some
tissue paper in the shoulders and
sleeves, especially when they will
have to stand some time before the
next wearing. Use bags or shoulder
shields on garments worn frequent
ly.
* Overcrowding the closet will
cause clothes to become wrinkled
more than necessary. Let clothes
rest in a roomy closet where they
do not touch oach other if you want
to preserve them.
All winter clothing should be giv
en frequent airings out-of-doors.
Turn the pockets and cuffs in
side out while airing, then straight
en the clothes on hangers, brush,
and hang properly.
Use Cool Water
For Washing Woolens
When the label on a wool combi
nation garment tells you it has
been tested for washing, you may

wash by hand, if care is followed.
Water for washing woolens should
feel cool to the touch. This applies
both to the water used in washing
and rinsing. Hot water causes wool
fibers to shrink and felt.
Mild soap which makes a rich
lather is best. Detergents are excel
lent for hard water areas. If using
soap and hard water, use water
normalizer for the water first, so
that the minerals in the water will
not harden the garment.
Squeeze the suds through and
through the garment with a gentle
motion. Rubbing or soaking will
cause the fibers in the clothing
to knit closely together and make
it shrink.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all
traces of soap. If left in the gar
ment, they will make it gummy
and unpleasant to the touch.
Too much heat in the drying of
woolens and wool-fabric combina
tions makes the fibers brittle. Keep
the clothes away from direct heat
such as radiators, sunlight or
stoves. Slow drying will help retain
the fiber strength.
If you want to hasten drying, the
clothing can be wrapped carefully
in an absorbent Turkish towel and
kneaded gently to remove the ex
cess moisture. Do not let it stand
in the towel, however, for it may
get out of shape. Pat into shape as
soon as taken from the towel,
smoothing out wrinkles as much
as possible.
Steam Pressing Gives
Good Results
Steam pressing is excellent for
woolen materials, either those
made all of wool or wool plus silk,
rayon, etc. You’ll find that the
steam pressing is fine for velvet,
velveteens and corduroy, too, which,
are such an important part of the
fashion picture.
A moderately hot iron is the best
for wool and rayon combinations
while a barely warm iron is good
for all wool materials. Never press
directly on the material; always
use a damp cotton, lint-free cloth
or a chemically treated one.
Rayon and wool blended fabrics
should never be pressed when bone
dry. Better results can be obtained
if they are slightly damp. The gar
ment should be slightly damp when
you’ve finished pressing.
Hang clothing promptly after
pressing and smooth into shape.
Then permit the garment to dry
completely so that it will have its
natural lines.
Pleats and buttonhole closings
offer some difficulty unless care is
taken or they may become mis
shaped. An excellent way to avoid
this is to baste pleats and closing
with long stitches. Then you don’t
have to worry about lining them up
just right under the pressing cloth.
In pressing hems, collars, lapels,
cuffs and other heavy parts of the
garment, use a heavy pressing cloth
to prevent shine and ridges.
New seams on home-sewed cloth
ing should always be pressed on
the wrong side with the seams
opened. Go over them lightly
without a press cloth, then steam
press.
Use Stitch iu Time
Method to Save Clothing
It’s smart to check over clothing
as soon as it’s removed after wear
ing just for the purpose of going
over those places which may be
thinning.
If the material has become thin
from wear, it’s much easier to re
inforce by weaving in threads on
the thinned material, than it is to
make a darning patch after it’s
once worn through. Unravel some
thread from inside seams so that
you can match the thread perfect
ly.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 19.
What's Your Intake?
Dr. Foreman
Lesson for October 29, 1950
F EW PEOPLE would care for a
diet of sawdust, mixed with old
bacon rinds and with carbolic acid
for a drink. Yet some people who
are very careful of what goes into
their stomachs are astonishingly
careless about the
intake of their
minds.
What goes into
your mind counts
for more, and lasts
longer, than what
goes into your
mouth. What you
eat can kill you—
your body, that is;
but what you think,
what you read, what you hear, can
kill your mind. It can even kill your
soul. You can afford to be particu
lar. Down at the Cracked Cup Cafe
they give you no choice. If you
don’t like the 50c dinner you can
walk out; and If you are at all par-
ticular you will walk out. But at
the best restaurants you are offered
a wide choice, and the experienced
diner-out will read the menu care
fully before ordering.
Are yon a Christian? Then
don’t feed your mind at the men
tal equivalent of the Cracked
Cnp Cafe. Go to a better spot.
The beanty of food for the mind
is that the best costs no more.
The best foods for the table are
rather expensive; the best
mind-foods, sonl-foods, are not.
• • •
Ear-Gate
I S WHAT you listen to, good for
your mind? What’s your intake,
by ear? A woman who had roomed
in another woman’s house for some
time was looking for a new place.
Her old room was inexpensive, sun
ny, convenient, clean; there waif
nothing wrong with the room. But
she had to listen to the landlady ev
ery day, and from her she never,
heard good of any one.
“If I stay there any longer
I shall go craxy,” the roomer
confided to a friend. “She’ll get
me to thinking the way she does,
and she thinks everybody’s a
crook.**
In Tennyson’s “Idyls of the King”
is that fine rule of the Round Table:
“To speak no slander — no, nor
listen to it ... *’ Listening to slan
der, trash, mean and malicious
gossip, day after day, is bound to
have a serious effect on any one’s
mind.
• • •
Eye-Gate
T HE STRANGE thing is that
Christians can be seen taking
the greatest of pains picking out the
right food for their dogs and cats,
and yet never exercising the least
choice in what comes into their
minds by ear or eye. They will let
the radio run on hour after hour,
they look at whatever the television
puts on the screen,—the dirty with
the Clean, th$ trash with the jewels
(if any). They read the newspapers
from front to back, or vice versa,
they read all the comics whether
they are amusing or not. But when
it comes to picking out something
good for their minds, really going
to the trouble of selection, and pay
ing out folding money for it, how
many, even Christian people, will
do it?
It would be Interesting to com
pare what most people spend on
quite unnecessary stuff like soft
drinks and cigarettes, with what
they spend for books in a year's
time. Would you like to sit down
with a great and good man or
woman and let him talk to you
by the hour, to give you the best
of his mind and heart? It can
always be done—with a good
book. Not, usually, the brst sell
ers!
An intelligent Christian woman
recently had to move aliiost a
thousand miles; when you move
that far and have to pay by the
pound for what you take, you screen
your stuff pretty carefully. “I am
throwing away all my best sellers,”
she said. “There’s not a one worth
wasting freight on.” She was right
about most best-sellers. But the old-
time, long-time, all-time best seller
of them all is the Christian Bible.

Is Tour Mind a Vacant Lot?
TT IS MORE than a question of
^ what you read and see and hear.
An even more serious question is:
What do you think about? Good
reading, even the Bible, was never
meant to be a substitute for thought.
One of the great books of ancient
times was “Consolations of Philoso
phy,” written by a man in jail with
out a book in his cell. But the fine
books he had read were in his head
and heart, and when he became a
political prisoner, alone and poor
and friendless, his mind was still,
a garden. What is your mind—a
garden, or a desert, or only a va
cant lot littered with junk?

Casserole Cookery
Helps Cut Down
Soaring Food Bills
WHEN THE FOOD budget evades
all your efforts to keep within its

start fixing those nourishing, appe
tite-satisfying casseroles. There’s
a gooa bit of
eating in a fine

v e g etables in
them rather
than wasting them.
Even when saving money is no
object, there are many people who
like the home-like attnospbere of
having a casserole dinner. Plan
them as well, cook them as care
fully as a roast, and your family
will enjoy them as much as the
