iret For example:
A m«f w->s he'd disqualified for
tmcrnn'ovm-nt Insurance because
he refused a job iocatwi only 11
mi'es from his home. Good trans-
portation was available, ami hun-
dreds of other employees were
makinR the ^ame trip every day.
But an older man was held jus-
tified in refusing a job 5-1 miles
away. In his case, the only way
he could hove gotten there was
by driving an old and ail ins auto-
mobile.
Hours and wages, too, may be
taken into account. Thus:
A stenographer who refused a
9 to C job, because she preferred
8 to 5, was held too finicky—hence
disqualified for unemployment in-
surance. Rut a man was held not
disqualified when he r fused a job
at wages substantially below
those prevailing in the community
In this way. weighing individual
factor., the law seeks to curry out
the basic philosophy of unemploy-
ment insurance — to draw a rea-
sonable line between those who do
want to work and those who do
not. As one court put it:
"i Unemployment insurance* was
designed to alleviate the financial
hardship of (hose unemployed
through no fault of their own. It
was not intended to provide u vaca-
tion with pay."

REVIEWS Til AT STING
Tart reviews of movies, plays,
books and works of art have won
many a chuckle from the reading
public.
One reviewer was "underwhelm-
ed" by a movie. Another said he
saw a play under bad conditions:
"the curtain was up." A third,
having called an actor the worst
he had evel sen, described his
next performance as "not up to
his usual standard."

given by Mrs. A. G. Wiseman and
Mrs. A. A. Schilling. The meeting

SOIL TESTS BEING MADE
With moisture in the ground, in-
terest in taking soil tests and fer-
tilization is high. Among soil lests
recently submitted were Joe Mc-
Mains, Route 1, Elgin, Rocking It.
Ranch, Star Route, Bastrop, Ale
Vennstra, Smithville, Lloyd Burns,
Sinithville. Jive Allen. Smithville.
W. L. Pursy, Bastrop. Jewell Hud-
ler, McDade, C. A. Treadwell, El-
gin. Soil Test information sheets
and mailing cartons are available
at the county agents office. Soil
sample tests cost SL'.OO and require
a week to ten days time from mail-
ing.
But while readers chuckle, the
person on the target end may be
seething If the criticism is really
rough, may he collect damages for
defamation of character?
He may — if the reviewer steps
outside the legitimate bounds of
criticism. The law frowns on at-
tacks thai are directed not at the
work itself but at the character of
the person who created it.
Fur example, an art critic was
held liable for saying not only that
a certain work of art was bad but
also that the artist was a swindler.
Bui within his proper scope, the
reviewer lias enormous leeway,
lbs honest opinion, however severe,
is protected bj the constitutional
truaruiitees of free speech and free
press.
Furthermore, the law recognizes
that a critic may have to use pun-
gent language to make his point.
As one court put it, the critic may
indulge In "all those delightful
touches of style which go to make
an article readable."
What about adverse comments
outside the field of the arts? By
and largo, if it is a matter of legiti-
mate public concern, the same
broad freedom of opinion prevails.
Thus courts have rejected the
umpluint of a public contractor,
criticized fur his workmanship: of
i financier, criticized for promot-
ing a new transit system: and of
i football coech, criticised for his
strategy
True enough, such brickbats may
be hard to bear. But the public is
benefitted Not only is freedom up-
held but also taste is fostered —
by the encouragement of work
that is gissl and the discourage-
ment of work tluit is bad.
A for the hapless victim, he
himself has Invited criticism by
submitting bis work to the public
in the first place.
"He should not ik- thin skinned,"
commented "lie judge, "If the crlti
cism so invited is not gentle."

What's the biggest whitetail deer
killed in Texas? What's the largest
mule deer (blacktailj? The biggest
antelope ?
To find this information one
would check the records of the
Boone and Crockett Club. B&CC
keeps world records on big game.
Quite a few uf Texas' white-
tailed deer are entered in the re-
cord book, including the largest
non-typical ever taken. It came
from near Brady in McCulioch
County back around the turn of
the century.
But since Texas mule deer and
antelope are not generally of the
record variety, there are not au-
thentic records of the largest of
these two species killed here.
Now this will change. Starting
this fall, Sportsmen's Clubs of Tex-
as (SCOT) will keep an accurate
record of the biggest deer and
antelope killed in the state. It will
periodically publish the list.
Competition for the best typical
and non-typical antlers and horns
for the two species will be from
six geographical regions: Pan-
handle, Trans-Pecos, Edwards Pla-
teau, Northeast Texas. Southeast
Texas and the South Texas brush
country. Designated statewide?
champion in the three cla.sses —
whitetail deer, mule deer and an-
telope — will be the best antler or J
hom score from the different re- j
gions.
Judging of whitetail deer and !
mule cleer antlers will be broken j
down into three categories: length |
in inches of the largest point; num-
ber of points an inch or more in
length: and the greatest inside
beam spread.
For pronghom antelope, scoring
will be based on measurements of
the tip-to-tip spread, outside length
of the longest hom, and base cir-
cumference of the largest horn.
When submitting an entry for
consideration, the following data is
required- hunter's name and ad-
dress; where the animal was \
killed; date of kill: name and ad- j
dress of witness to measurements
ami the tabulation of scoring. I-al- j
ter is based on one point per inch
for each ol the three measure-
ments.
Also mandatory with each entry
is three close-up, 8x10 jjliotograplis
sliowing the right, life and front
view of the trophy head, each tak-
en at the animal's eye level with
a standard yardstick held just he-
hind the rack in a way which will
not obstruct any important feature.
Entries should be mailed to
S|K>rtHnx«n's Olub of TVx*s, an

A similar program of record
keeping for fresh- and salt-water
fish will begin in January.

One of his favorite lakes Is Lake
Ruchanan in Central Texas. When

ately devotes his time to locating

he'll try different spots where he's
taken whites in the |uist. It is a
simple strategy that will work on
any lake.
He'll spend only about 15 min-
utes or so at one spot. After tak-
ing mayb«' 15 to liO casts without

Hunting Carries

The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department wishes lo remind
sportsmen that hunting is a pri-

He sliould remember lo leave

to shoot near livestock, house, or
barns.
The hunter should know the boun-
daries of the land on which he
hunts, and he should cross fences
In a sale and proper way.
Fire is always a hazard, and
littering can make an enemy out
of the landowner In a short time.
As an act of courtesy and a ges-
ture of good will, the hunter should 1
offer to share game with bus host ,
if he is hunting free.
Third, the hunter has a respon-
w ill not only make hunting easier,
but safer besides.
The hunter should learn all he
can aboul the game he hunts. This
will increase his chances for a
successful hunt and make hunting
more enjoyable and exciting.
The hunter should Ik- sure of his
target and aim for a clean kill
If he wounds an animal, he should
make a conscientious effort lo re-
trieve it.
For safety sake, he sliould make
his presence known to oilier hunt-
ers so they will not mistake him
for game.
A topflight fisherman, through
experience gained by trial and
error, can look at a stretch of
water and be able to toll fairly
accurately whether or not it will
hold fish.
This is one reason why just a
few fishermen catch mast of the
fish. They devote their time to
working water where fish are like-
ly to be.
Many casual fishermen spend
much of their time fishing "dead
water where they stand no chance
whatsoever of catching anything
One of tlje best bass fishermen
we know finds a likely stretch of
shoreline nod prospects along it

n't hud any action in that time, he
haults off to another spot He
keeps on continually and systema-
tically trying different places un

fish.
A spot he tries In the morning,
for instance, might be visited a-
gain In the afternoon. In bass fish
ing. things have a way of chang-
ing in a hurry.
Far t<*> many fishermen, he they
using artifclal or nalu.-al baits,
will slop ut a certain spot and
camp there for hours. This, whe-
ther they are catching anything or
not. Any fisherman should be able
to tell within a reasonable length
of time, no more than :*) minutes,
whether a certain locale Iwlds co-
operative fish If after this time
he's had no action, he should move.
Hie typical fisherman stresses
the mechanics of the sport He
reads everything he can get on the
right tackles to use, the correct
baits and how to manipulate tlicm
Even with this knowledge he'll
catch nothing in dead water. On
the other hand, just an average
fisherman can take f'sh if he's at
u spot where the fish are concen-
trated.
