Hunters taking to the woods
this fall can expect the best deer
hunting eeaaon on record, ac
cording to a survey by Michael
Hudoba, Washington Editor of
Sports Aiield Maganino. With
only some local and regional ex
ceptions, reports from the vari
ous state game departments pile
up returns like a political land
slide. Deer herds are building up
and number of herds increasing.
Deer are even spreading into
new areas where they were un
known before.
Although hunters have been
bagging over a million deer a
year since 1948, deer number*
continue to increase until the
deer has become legal game in
46 states, and even two of the
states closed to a gun season
have a bow-and-arrow season.
This, despite the fact that man’s
population is growing ami spill
ing out over the countryside.
Heavily populated Illinois is
having its first deer hunting sea
son since KMH).
This is not surprising to the
nation’s dedicated biologists and
game managers. In fact, many
of them are appalled at the de
bilitation that comes to deer
herds — not from overhunting
hut from too much coddling
which allows as much as 12 per
Cent of the nation’s deer popula
tion to be wasted each year.
t There is a growing mass of
evidence that good management
pays off in better herds; that
those states which have any-
deer seasons continue to main
tain increasing and healthier deer
populations. Wo need not and
should not lose through unneces
sary waste all the *12 per cent of
deer lost to causes other than
hunting, says Hudoba.
This year’s deer hunting is ex
pected to ho a banner year. Deer
are increasing, am' with it man
agement problems and the need
of public understanding of game
management grow. This is vital
if we are to expect future years
of records for America’s number
one big-game animal.
Uses for Christmas Tree
After Holiday Is Over
You can still put your Christmas
tree to use after it is taken down
For one thing, you can cut ofT
the longer branches and "plant”
them as windbreaks to protect out
door plantings such as low-growing
boxwood, aborvitae, azalea, yew.
rhododendron and juniper. Little
teepees can be built around ex
posed shrubs and tender plants.
This will protect them from biting,
drying winds and prevent snow and
ice from accumulating and bend
ing the plants out of shape.

Christmas Tree Care
Halts Fire Hazards
You wouldn’t build a lire on th«
living room floor, but an improp
erly da cor a ted Christmas tree
amounts to the same thing. Don’t
invite Santa to come to your house
on a Are engine; .follow these pre
cautions in Christmas tree lighting
and decorating:
Choose a small tree, rather than
a large one.
Store the tree outdoors until a
day or two before Christmas.
When the tree is brought into the
house, stand it In water and set it
in a cool part of the house, away
from radiatora, heaters and fire
places. Don’t allow it to block an
exit.
Check CarefuUy
Be sure every lighting set and
electric cord you use is in good
condition — no worn or frayed
wires, no loose sockets.
When you buy new sets or cords,
look for the approved Underwrit
ers’ Label. The ones that bear it
have passed tests for fire and
shock hazards.
Provide a switch some distance
from the tree for turning tree
lights on and off.
Ornaments should be made of
fireproof materials, metal or glass.
Never set up electric trains un
der the tree.
Don’t let gift wrappings pile up
under the tree.
Don’t leave tree lights burning
when no one is home.
From time to time, cheek nee
dles near the lights to see If they
have started to turn brown.
When needles start to fall, take
the tree down and discard it out
doors.
THE
ljulelog
The Yule Log tradition is mak
ing a comeback as more and more
of today’s modern homes are de
signed with open fireplaces as well
as central heating and gas stoves.
For those who have a place to
burn a Yule log and want one, tra
dition says that it should be oak,
ash, olive, apple or pine. Whatever
type you choose or may be able
to acquire, get plenty of wood.
Ash is highly desirable since it
can be used without being sea
soned. It burns quickly, and throws
off plenty of heat. Poplar, on the
other hand, will spark badly if un
seasoned.
Elm is less desirable since it Is
slow to get started. However, it
lasts a long time and brightens
up when it gets going. A few logs
of birch, pine or fir will help it
along.
Beech and oak are among the
best logs. Beech has a pleasant
aroma anfc gives off a steady glow.
Oak has the outstanding merit of
burning slowly.
If none of these are available,
select wood from some kind of
fruit tree. Such wood gives off a
pleasant smell when burning.
First Cable
The fhst message was cabled
across the Pacific on January 1,
1903. The cable ship "Silverton”
arrived, in Honolulu on that date
after successfully laying down
2,600 miles of cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu.
Greeting Cards Came
To Us From England
The thoughtful custom of sending
cards to friends and relatives at
Christmas comes down to us from
England.
It is generally suggested by his
torians that the idea began with
schoolboys away from home who
wrote their Christmas .letters on
fancy paper and in fancy writing.
There has been controversy
through the years as to who sent
the first ^lithographed cards. In
1941 a copy of an old Christmas
card was found in the British mu
seum and credit for the card was
given to William Maw Egley, a
16-year old apprentice, in the year
1842.
Cole Gets Credit
Later evidence, however, gave
credit for the first card to Sir Hen
ry Cole and lithographer John C.
Horsley, in the year 1843. 1
Cards credited to Egley and Cola’
are quite similar. Each was etched
in black and whit# and each shows
drinking, dancing and holiday mer
riment scenes, and both carry holi
day greetings.
Evidence that Egley was not the
originator comes from a framed
copy of the Egley card which re
portedly carries a note on the back
in the apprentice’s handwriting. (
The note says the card was fin
ished December 3, 1848 and is the
"second ever published.’’
Cole began sending out cards to
all his friends in 1846, each card
bearing the message, "A Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.’’
Although the cards brought fame
and popularity to Cole, it was some
twenty years before Christmas
cards became very popular in Eng
land.
