GAME DEPARTMENT ISSUES
BULLETIN ON NEW LAWS
East and Southeast Texas hunt-
el's, fishermen, trappers, fox hunt-
ers and others who take either a
professional or sporting interest in
field, marsh or stream already are
scratching their heads over new
wildlife legislation enacted by the
Regular Session of the 47th Leg-
islature.
The lawmakers passed a grand
total of 105 wildlife bills, almost
one per dayj and thus set a re-
cord. Only 10 of them were gen-
eral bills, that is, applicable to the
State as a whole.
A multitute of the local bills ap-
ply to East and Southeast TexaR
counties. In all. 69 counties in that
part of the State are affected, ac-
cording to the Executive Secretary
of the Game Commission.
The general bills passed pro-
vide that:
It is unlawful to take muskrats
from the land of another without
consent, whether or not the land
in question is enclosed.
Prairie chickens may not be
hunted until September 1, 1946.
Deer, with certain exceptions,
must be removed from storage
by June 5th of each year.
Doves may be taken during the
open season now in progress. But
this law was amended in certain
particulars by Federal regulations
which control the shooting of mi-
gratory birds and waterfowls.
Carrier pigeons, or homing pig-
eona. may not be killed or molest-
ed at any time.
People may not fish in public
parks under the control of the
State Parks Board without the con-
sent of the caretaker or superin-
tendent of the park in question.
Hunting in public parks under
control of the State Parks Board
is prohibited.
Non_resident, alien, and artifi-
cial lure licenses are no longer re-
quired of those fishing for sport
in salt water. They still are re
qulred of those fishing in fresh
water.
The coastal shrimp season was
modified, and the 5 1.2 inch shrimp
length limit was repealed.
Golden eagles or Mexican brown
eagles, abundant in the western
part of the State, may be killed at
any time.
There follows a brief summary
by counties and species of the new
local laws applicable to Polk. An
gelina. Trinity and Tyler Counties,
ns prepared by the Game Com-
mission. Officials emphasized that
the following list does not include
ALL game and fish laws applicable

OBSERVATION POST
ORGANIZED
The Army Observation Post for
this area was organized last Mon-
day night and the home of A. B.
Knox selected for the watchers.
The duty of the post is to ob-
serve passing airplanes and when
one or more come over, the watch-
er on duty calls Ellington Field in
Houston and reports the number of
planes, which direction they are
are going, what type they are. and
whether flying low or high.
This watch will continue twenty-
four hours a day until the end of
the maneuvers. September 28th.
The schedule of watchers for the
present is as follows: 8 til 11 a. m.
Mrs. Windall Knox; 11 til 2 p. m.,
Mrs. A. B. Knox; 2 til 4. Mrs. E. L.
Knox; 4 til 6. Corky Knox; 6 til 8.
Jakie Sherman; 8 til 10. A. B. Arm-
strong; 10 til 12, K. D. Knox; 12
til 2 a. ni.. Leo Chandler; 2 til 4.
A. B. Knox; 4 til 6. E. L. Knox;
6 til 8, Yancey Cockrell.
While this watch is play-warfare
at present, it brings us to realize
that in ease of actual war. posts of
this nature will be necessary until
the end of the war. 7t is hoped
that many volunteers will come for-
ward and take their turn, especially
resting those that have the watch
during the dead of night.

PAVING BETWEEN MOSCOW
AND LIVINGSTON DELAYED
The concrete paving between
Lvingston and Moscow has been
delayed °n account of the con-
tractor’s Inability to secure steel.
The Press learned from the High-
way department in Livingston this
week that they had hopes of get_
ting the steel within the very near
future hut could not say definitely
when.
Recent rulings make it necessary
that buyers of steel make affidavit
to the effect that the order is not
a duplication, etc., and the red tape
necessary to sale of this product
takes considerable time.

If you’re a white.wlng hunter
and bring down a bird with a band
on its leg. don’t throw either the
bird or the band away.
It’s not unlawful to kill a white-
wing or any other bird that has
been banded.
Take the band off the bird’s leg
and send it to the Game. Fish and
Oyster Commission, Austin. Texas.
The bands are used for purely
scientific purposes. Assistance of
sportsmen in getting the hands re
turned to the Commission will be
greatly appreciated, the Executive
Secretary of the Commission said.
Birds are handed so that wildlife
research scientists may check ac-
curately on migrations and other
life habits of birds, and recently
hundreds of white-wings were band-
ed in the lower Rio Grande Valley.
Please help the Commission help
the birds by returning any hands

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
And when he has an aching head
With tenderness he put to bed
A wife is one by duty hound
To think here husband most pro
found
If she with him would get along
She must pretend he’n never
wrong
However foolish he may be
With all he says she must agree
For once she points his follies out
For days the dear old thing will
pout
To every wife this praise is due
Her’s is a job no man could do
