Before making h landing during
hours of darkness, the Commandos
smeared their fpSO* with mud, or

Now a duck oh the fly has bet-

spot g, white fpee in a duck

For this reason, the nimrod
should bend low and glance up
sideways, unless he wants to try
out some grease-paint.
Decoys should be arranged be-

the blind, sometimes a little more,
but not too far. And the hunter
should never bunch his decoys. Al-

A hunter who doesn’t know how
to call ducks might be likened to
a fisherman who can’t handle a
rod and reel. Every duck hunter
should know how to sound a mal-
lard call, which will win an aud-
ience even from tip-up of puddling
ducks.
It takes a lot of patience and
practice to learn the art of call-
ing, but it means more ducks for
the dinner table.
Thousands of sportsmen must
choose between duck hunting and
deer stalking this weekend, and
the decision will be a difficult one
Ducks are arriving in great
numbers, as well as geese, and the
season on Texas deer opened
Thursday.
Deer stalkers are reminded that
the regular small-game Texas
hunting license does not apply to
big game. The big game hunting
license costs $2.25 and is good for
all hunting.
A good point for deer hunters
to remember is that while deer
cah see for incredible distances,
they focus best on moving objects.
Many a nimrod has had a big buck
almost run over him while stand-
ing motionless.
R. H. George of Bethany, Okla.,
can tell a whopping fish story, but
it’s true.
George recently set what is be-
lieved a record by. landing two
black bass weighing over 11 pounds
on one cast.
The two blacks were almost
identical and both weighed better
than five and one-half pounds
each.
Something - To - Remember De-
partment: The number of points
on a deer's antlers does not re-
veal its exact age. Deer of the
same age often have different
numbers of points.

Found Safe After
Overnight Search
Waco, Nov. 17, —UP—A little
Irving girl, lost fivb hours in the
woods after wandering from her
grandfather’s house, scurried out,
frightened but not harmed, after
a ."big buzzing” awoke her from
exhausted sleep.
The buzzing noise came from one
of three helicopters called into
the frantic search late Wednesday
for Rowena Kathleen Gibson, age
two.
The tot was playing in a sand-
pile beside her grandfather’s home
in the Wortham Bend community,
10 miles west of Waco, before she
wandered into the deep woods.
More than 20 residents of the
area began beating the woods, and
three helicopters summoned from
Connally Air Force Base at Waco
soon whirled overhead.
Fear for the child’s safety in-
creased as the hours wore on.
Then, shortly before sundown, she
toddled out of the woods onto a
highway and was found by Mrs
Joyce Shows.
The youngster said she
asleep in the woods, but became na.

There were 19,740 wounded and
4,347 missing in action, including
four who died in prison camps,
