If you haven’t already started
on the project, better get busy
sighting in that deer rifle for this
fall’s shooting. Every year we
warn hunters against going out with
a gun that hasn’t been “trained
in” for the season’s shooting. And
with their shirt tails cut off for
missing a big buck.
In some areas it is difficult to
find a place to target a big rifle.
Around most of the large cities,
however, there are shooting ran-
ges where for a fee you can lay
a few shots in the bullseye. If
you decide to go to the country,
however, be sure you get permis-
sion of the land owner before blast-
ing away. He may not like to have
shooting on his place by someone
thoughtless enough not to ask.
There’ll be quite a few new guns
and calibers on the market this
fall. Also some changes have been
made in ammunition. For instance,
Winchester has introduced a new
20-gauge magnum bird load, com-
parable in pattern and energy to
a 12 gauge load. The new 2 3-4
inch shell is loaded with 1 1-8
ounces of 7 1-2 shot. Previously
the shell has been loaded with 2’s,

4’s and 6’s for waterfowl and phea-
sant shooting.
Another new gun on the market
this year is the X-5 Lightning by
Ithaca. It is a semi-automatic 22
built along modern streamlines and
is sure to become a favorite among
those who have been shooting Itha-
ca shotguns for years.
This new model, the first rifle
by Ithaca, is built to Cadillac speci-
fications. It handles easily, has a
ruggedness not found in many rifles
and is equipped to handle either 7
or 12 shot magazines.
Ruger also has announced a new
22 caliber frontier model. It is in
the competitive field of the Colt
single action 22 and the new Double
9, of Hi-Standard. The new Ruger,
Bearcat by name, has some of the
appearance of the original Rem-
ington Police 36, and the Colt Model
of 1849. It looks more like a gun
of the old west than the others.
Ruger now claims to be the lar-
gest manufacturer of single action
pistols. In addition the company al-
so has a very interesting line of
semi-automatics.
With the approach of the big
game hunting season in Texas and
elsewhere it is fitting that we give
some thought to the handling of
trophies. The average man who
sits at the desk 50 weeks a year
can’t be expected to know too much
about the dressing out of wild
game or preserving a head for
mounting.
Major B. J. Brewer, who is the
wildlife management coordinator
for the Red River Arsenal at Texar-
kana, thought of this. Accordingly
he has written a book telling how
to handle your prospective trophies.
He got his inspiration while visit-
ing in the taxidermy shop of Kel-
ton S. Tillery of Fort Worth.
Major Brewer was looking over
some of the trophies shipped to M.
Tillery. Most of them had been
badly handled and had major things
wrong with them to prevent perfect
mounting.
It was then that he was inspired
to prepare a handbook for field
instruction in the care of trophies.
There are many library books on
the subject, but none small enough
to carry in a parka pocket, to pro-
vide diections on the spot.
Major Brewer points out in his
pocket size manual that two things
make the difference between poor-
ly mounted trophies and a piece of
art. First, is the proper care of
the trophy from the moment it is
killed or caught; second, the use
of a skilled taxidermist for the
finished product.
He takes up the various subjects,
such as caring for big game heads,
skins for making rugs, animal full
body mounts, half mounts, fish and
birds and then gives you a few
simple rules to remember. Major
Brewer’s book is well written and
well illustrated. It certainly is
worth the dollar price.
Hunt America Time is a new
plan of the Izaak Walton League
of America to promote better re-
lationship between landowner and
sportsmen. The theme of the pro-
gram is “Respect Private Property
— Save Public Hunting.” How well
the program gets organized in Tex-
as remains to be seen. The prin-
ciple of it, however, is the only
thing that can save public hunting
as such.
It must be remembered that
more than 80 per cent of the har-
vested game each year is taken
on land belonging to someone other
than the hunter. In Texas this per-
centage may be even higher.
The game belongs to the peo-
ple, but the land belongs to in-
dividuals. If they fail in provid-
ing cover and feed for wildlife,
there will be no harvest. On the
other hand, if landowners treat
their wildlife as a crop, it can be
profitable to them financially, and
provide recreation for the millions
who like to hunt.
The pledge in the Hunt Amer-
ica Time program is (1) to be
law abiding; (2) to respect the
rights and property of others; and
(3) to be careful with fire and
firearms.
If you are interested in more
details on this program, write to
the Izaak Walton League, 1326
Waukegan Rd., Glenview, 111.
W. D. “Bo” Randall of Orlando,
Fla., is a man who has literally
carved his way to fame.
He is a knife maker.
It all started as a hobby with
him. Suddenly his hobby became a
growing business and today he sells
outdoor knifes all over the coun-
try. He thinks other people should
make knives as a hobby, too, so he
has prepared a little handbook on
knife making which he sells for
20 cents. Might be worth reading.
Garden Club Hears
Program Thursday
On Lawn Care
Mrs. L. T. Porter brought the
program on “Care of Lawns” for
the Mathis Garden Club when it
met last Thursday afternoon.
They met at the home of Mrs.
Bob Miller with Mrs. Frank Russek
as co-hostess.
The coffee table was centered
with an arrangement of espranza
and bird of paradise.
The dining table was covered
with a cut work cloth and centered
with an arrangement of fresh fruit
on a lazy susan. The hostesses
served refreshments of pecan pie
and coffee to ten members and one
guest, Mrs. H. M. Dick of Dallas.

Felix Cornejo, 27,
Killed In Accident
Saturday Morning
Felix Cornejo, 27, was instantly
killed Saturday at 1 a.m. when his
1958 Chevrolet went out of control
on a steep, slick decline on FM70,
about four miles east of Sandia.
State Highway Patrolman Dick
Peters said Cornejo was traveling
west when he hit the top of the
steep decline, “traveling at a pretty
good clip.”
Peters said he lost control of the
car on the wet, muddy pavement.
The car skidded 120 feet, hit the
fence on the north side of the
road, flipped over, uprooted two
trees and landed upside down.
Cornejo died of a broken neck
and head injuries. He was not
thrown from the car, which was
a total wreck.
He was a lifetime employe of
Knolle Jersey Farms, where he
grew up. Since adult life he had
been a wholesale truck driver.
Survivors include his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Juan Cornejo; two bro-
thers, Juan Jr. and Roberto; and
two sisters, Leonela and Ernestina,
all of Sandia.
Funeral services were held Sun-
day at Realitos in Duval County
under the direction of Dobie Funer-
al Home of Mathis.
The Mathis Pirates open District
30A play tonight in Gregory-Port- [
land in an 8 p.m. football game. [
Last week the G-P Wildcats drop-
ped their district opener to Rock- I
port 22-6. The sole Wildcat score
came in the last quarter when
the touchdown, climaxing a 60-yd
drive. The Wildcats were hamper-
ed in the second half with back- ■
field injui’ies.
Mathis enters the game rested
as the Pirates, were idle last Fri-
day night. Coach Frank Schneider
expects all his players to suit up.
Tackle Benny Huffstutler, out of
commission the last three games
due to an injured knee, is expect-
ed to see full duty again. He did
get a little fourth quarter action
against West Oso two Fridays ago,
however. ■
The remainder of Mathis’ games j
this season will be in contention |
for the district title. After tonight I
they will play Ingleside there and |
then end the season with two home
games. On Nov. 7 they host Woods- I
boro and on Nov. 14 it will be .
Rockport at Mathis. I
Rockport so far has emerged
the stronghorse of the district, but
the Pirates, boasting a 4-1 season
record since Taft had to forfeit I
its win, stacks up as a team to
watch.
Rockport’s strength was proven
several weeks ago when they were
defeated by Bishop by just one
point, whereas Mathis was soundly
whipped by the Badgers, 44-14. i
Mathis Mayor Is |
Taft Consultant
On Housing Deal
Mathis Mayor Milton Boatwright
told the city commission in Taft
this week all about Mathis' suc-
cessful bid for a federal housing
project.
The Taft city fathers were in-
terested in learning details of how
Mathis went about getting such a
program.
Since Mathis made the initial
bid for such a project, Sinton and
Robstown have both started simi-
liar programs in their cities.
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Freitag of
Seguin visited with Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Freitag and family and Mr.
and Mrs. Elroy Freitag and family
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Walter Range of Beeville
