Sets Dales For
Ducks And Goose
Goose conditions about the
same, duck conditions worse.
This seems to be the message
in the waterfowl season and
bag limit framework just re-
ceived from the U. S. Pish and
Wildlife Service. H. D. Dodgen,
executive secretary for the
Texas Qame and Pish Commis-
sion, reported that the dates
and limits are about as he had
expected, then announced the
Texas seasons and bag limits
for the 1862-63 hunting period.
The duck season will begin
at noon Dec. 6 and run for 25
consecutive days through Dec.
30. After the first day of shoot-
ing, the hours for taking ducks
will be from sunrise to sunet.
There will be a 2 duck daily
bag limit and a possession limit
of 4. The daily bag limit may
not include more than 1 mal-
lard, 2 wood ducks, or one
hooded mergenser. In addition
to the above limits, there will
be allowed 2 scaup daily with
4 in possession. And as last
year, there will be no open sea-
son on redheads and canvas-
backs.
The coot season will run dur-
ing the same period as the duck
season. Hunters may take C
coots per day and have no
more than 6 in possession. The
red-breasted merganser season
is the same as the duck season,
but the bag limits are 5 per day
and 10 in possession.
Hunters disappointed over
the shorter duck season and
lower bag limit may find some
consolation in the fact that the
goose season, Oct. 31 through
Jan. 13, has been increased 15
days over last year, to 75 days.
The limits for geese will be the
same as for 1961 with a 5 per-
cent daily bag limit, and 5 in
possession. This limit may not
include, in the alternative,
more than (a) 2 Canada geese
or subspecies; (b) 1 Canada
goose or subspecies and 1
white-fronted goose; or (c) 1
white-fronted goose. It may in-
clude in addition, 2 snows or
blues with no specs and Cana-
das. Shooting hours arc from
sunrise to sunset on all days
including opening day.
The season on sandhill cranes
will run from Nov. 3 to Dec. 2,
with bag limits of 2 per day
and 2 in possession. Shooting
hours for the tall birds will be
from sunrise to sunset.
“Because of the extreme
drouth conditions in the Can-
adian provinces, especially in
the areas which produce ducks
for the Central Flyway,” ex-
plained Dodgen, there was no
alternative but to shorten the
duck season and lower the lim
its according to the reasoning of
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice. The prairie potholes of Al-
berta, Manitoba and Saskatch-
ewan were hard hit. We real-
ized the disastrous conditions
of the duck nesting areas, and
were not surprised to get a re-
duction. It is not surprising,
either, that many Texas water-
fowl hunters believe a closed
season this year would be bet-
ter.”

Texas' 200,000
Wells Produce
Billion Barrels
In addition to the production
of almost a billion barrels of
ciude oil a year, Texas’ 200,-
000-plus wells produce thous-
ands of statistics, which Texas
Mid-Continent Oil & Gas As-
sociation has distilled to “62
Facts About Texas Oil & Gas.”
Vital statistics about the
state’s oil and gas industry,
published in the free leaflet,
include these:
Texas has 18.6 billion barrels
of oil reserves—14.8 billion in
crude oil; 3.8 billion from na-
tural gas liquids (47.9% of
U. S.)
Texas has 119 trillion cubic
feet of natural gas reserves
(44 8% of U. S ).
Texas operators spent $751
million drilling in 1961: $205
million lost to dry holes.
Texas petroleum industry’s
1961 tax payments to state gov-
ernment were $213 million.
Last year Texas produced
35.8% of U. S. oil—total of
938,017.000 barrels.
Texas receives more than a
third billion dollars a year for
gas sold to other states.
Texas uses more natural gas
than any other state; more than
rest of world outside U. S.
Texas refineries processed
799 million barrels of crude oil
in 1961, an amount eoual to
85% of state crude production.
During 1961, 6.1 trillion cub-
ic feet of Texas gas were mar-
keted.
Texas Permanent School
Fund in 1961 received $32,326,-
989 from petroleum industry
for lease rentals, bonuses, vov-
alty payments; total since 1932,
$393,049,120.
More than 2,000 miles of
pipelines have been construct-
ed in coastal area to carry fuel
and products in chemical in-
dustry.
Oil is produced in 196 Texas
counties.
Locomotive Boll
Is Donated To
Dallas Monastery
Four hundred years ago the
hand of a Catholic Nun, later
canonized as Saint Teresa,
rang a bell in a cloister in
Spain to herald the birth of
the Order of the Discalced
Nuns.
Today behind the cloistered
walls of the Carmelite Monas-
tery in Fort Worth Mother
Prioress Mnry Magdalen proud-
ly rings a locomotive bell sup-
plied by the Santa Fe Railway,
to commemorate that fateful
occasion four centuries ago.
It was Aug. 24, 1562 that
Teresa of Avila intoned the
bell which brought into being
the rigid order of the Discalced,
which means barefoot.
Mother Mary Magdalen re
quested a retired locomotive
bell from the Santa Fe and
O. H. Osborn, vice president, of
Santa Fe Gulf Lines, ordered
rush to Fort Worth from
shops at Topeka. She expressed
pleasure that the name Santa
Fe, taken from the ancient
capital of that name, means
Holy’ Faith.
The bell will be used to call
the Nuns to prayer and for
other summons.
In making the presentation
Osborn said the Santa Fe has
contributed bells to churches of
many denominaitons.

Cancer is often spoken of as
the “silent” disease. This is be-
cause in many cases cancer
grows without giving any
symptom. And pain, which is
most often thought of as ac-
companying diseases, is not
generally present until cancer
is far advanced.
Most cancers can be cured
when detected and treated in
the early stages. The difficulty
in cancer control, then, lies
with the detection of the dis-
ease.
Only a physician can tell if
cancer is present. Any suspi-
cious sympton should always he
examined by the family physi-
cian. But often, by the time any
symptoms of cancer show up,
it is too late. Treatment of ad-
vanced cancer is difficult.
The only insurance against
this silent growth is a regular,
at least yearly, physical ex-
amination.
All physician’s offices should
be cancer detection centers, so
the family doctor is most often
the front line against cancer.
For a physical check-up, whe-
ther cancer is suspected or not,
the personal physician is the
person to see.
If cancer is suspected, the
family doctor may refer his pa-
tient to one or more specialists
to confirm or rule out the pos-
sibility of cancer.
A top-to-toe physical exam-
ination will include inspection
of the body surface, followed
by examination of various or-
gans such as the heart, blood
vessels, lungs, mouth, nose,
ears, throat, abdomen, rectum,
sex organs and breasts.
The blood, urine, uterine
cells, or other body fluids may
also be examined or tested. X-
rays of the chest and other
parts of the body and a procto-
scopic examination (visual in-
spection of the lining of the
rectum and lower bowel with
a lighted tube) may also be
performed by the physician.
A proctoscopic examination
has increased in importance be-
cause 70 percent of cancer of
the colon and rectum can be
discovered in this way.
If a physician suspects can-
cer, a biopsy is performed and
a sample of the suspected tissue
sent for microscopic examin-
ation by a pathologist (a spe-
cialist in human tissue exam-
ination). Only a biopsy can
definitely establish the diag-
nosis of cancer.
The individual is the key to
the prompt diagnosis of cancer.
For only if a person presents
himself to his physician can a
diagnosis be made.
Simply through regular phy-
sical check-ups can the “silent”
disease be heard.

lic Health Education Division,

Fishing Without
License Is Big
July Odense
Fishing without a license ac-
counted for 60 percent of the
game and fish violations dur-
ing July, according to the
monthly violation report of
J. B. Phillips, coordinator of
law enforcement of the Game
and Fish Commission.
There were 196 fishing viola-
tions and 129 other hunting and
fishing violations. In all there
were 325 violations with fines
and costs totaling $5,804.13.
Among hunting violations
were nine charged with hunt-
ing in a closed feason and eight
hunting at night.
Besides the large number of
persons apprehended without
fishing licenses, there were 18
violations for illegal fishing
methods.
Despite warnings that fish-
ing licenses should be bought
by all persons between the ages
of 17 and 65 who fish with rod
and reel, or who fish outside
their home county, there are
these who continue to disre-
gard the need for a $2.15 fish-
ing license.
