Dove Season
Date Changed
Endorsement of the mourning
dove season changcs as a step to-
ward "good conservation" was
voiced by the Executive Secre-
tary of the Game, Fish & Oyster
Commission.
His comment followed announce-
ment by the Federal Fish &
Wildlife Service that the Texas
mourning dove season would be
reduced from 45 to 40 days for
most of the state, with the daily
shooting period cut from sunup
to sundown, to noon to sundown.
The Fish & Wildlife Service,
which makes the final decision on
all migratory birds, followed the
season opening dates for mourn-
ing doves as recommended by the
Game Commission, pursuant to a
popular poll of Texas sportsmen.
The opening in the north zone,
which comprises about three-
fourths of Texas, will be Septem-
ber 1, as usual, and will end on
October 10. The soiith zone open-
er will be November 15. The sea-
son in that zone will close Decem-
ber 21, with the season three days
shorter than the north zone be-
cause south zone hunters in twelve
counties will have a special three
day whitewing dove season, Sep-
tember 14, 1(3 and 18.

Some Now Eligible
As Navy Volunteers
The Navy recruiting service lo'
cated in the Post Office Building
in Texarkana, Ark., announced to-
day that during the period of
August 1 to 31, any man eli-
gible for the draft may now vol-
unteer for enlistment in the Navy,
even though he has received no-
tice for or has had his pre-in
duction mental and physical ex-
amination.
This offer is in effect up until
such a time a man receives his
notice to report for actual in-
duction. Whenever local arrange-
ments permit such individuals, lo-
cal selective service boards will
be checked to insure that he has
not received his notice to report
for induction. In any case such
men will be required to sign a
statement to that effect. However
secondary school graduates and
college students who have had
these orders cancelled for the
purpose of enlisting in the service
of their choice may still be en-
listed in the U. S. Navy.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
| — CONGRESSMAN — TEXAS
feild reports indicate sufficient
birds to provide a good harvest |
without endangering the brood j
stock, under the curtailed regula-
tions.
"Texas still will have a pretty |
generous dove hunting season," i
he said. "I am confident Texas j
sportsmen will understand that
the game that is not killed this
fall will survive to assure their
favorite sport in future seasons."
The daily limit for mourning
doves is 10. The possession limit
is also 10. Hunters bagging white-
wings during the special season
must count their mourning doves
in fineir bag. Thus, if they shoot
three mourning doves, they may
take only seven whitewings.
WILL RUSSIA START WAR
IN SEPTEMBER?
Russia, 1150 years ago, was
about the size of the State of
Rhode Island. The past 100 years,
Russia has been engaged in 50
wars commencing along her bor-
ders, always acquiring more and
more territory. Russia has invar-
iably commenced a war when her
crops had been harvested and
when the crops of her enemies
were in storage, which made an
abundant food supply available to
the Russian invading hordes. Next
month—September—will be the
month that will be ideal for the
Russian armies to aggressively
move according to her policies and
practices in starting wars in the
past. Therefore, if we go through
September without an act of war-
fare on the part of the Russians,
there is a good chance there will
be no war for another year. How-
ever, if the United States allows
itself to become weak militarily,
a war could be commenced against
us at any time. Aggressors are
always on the alert to invade a
weak country.
Two costly wars were commenc-

ment of rural fire prevention districts so aS'
to provide that the Legislature may author":

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLA-
TURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS!
Scction 1. That Section 48-d of Arttol ,
III of tho Constitution of the Stato of TezSJI
be amended to read as follows:
ed against the United States in
1!)17 and 1941 when our country
was the least able to defend it-
self. Expensive military prepared-
ness is the only protection and in-
surance against war. It is better
to have it and not need it than to
need it and not have it.
TIDELANDS BILL PASSED
The Oil Tidelands Bill, which
confirms the ownership by the
states of lands and natural re-
sources beneath navigable water
within state boundaries, was pas-
sed by the House last week. The
vote was 265 to 101). This legisla-
tion will benefit all the states by
affirming one of their fundamen-
tal l ights. Until the issue is settl-
ed, the ownership of built-up lands
and the resources under tidelands,
and inland lakes and rivers will bo
clouded.
Air Medal Awarded
Sgt. Daniel Guyton
Sergeant Daniel W. Guyton of
Texarkana, formerly of Queen
City, was recently awarded the
Air Medal by his commanding of-
ficer, Major Christopher Bressan,
during ceremonies held at the
Far East Air Force's base in
southern Japan.
Guyton is assigned to the Third
Air Rescue Squadron performing
rescue operational missions in
suppoi-t of combat air units of the
Far East Air Forces fighting the
enemy in Korea.
The Air Medal was awarded
Guyton for his participation in
missions as a scanner on SB-17
type aircraft. His responsibility is
to keep constant lookout for
enemy aircraft, search for lost
aircraft and personnel, and to
help with maintenance of the air-
craft.
The citation accompanying Guy-
ton's award read in part, "Ser-
geant Guyton distinguished him-
self by meritorious achievement
while serving as scanner on 10
separate and sustained rescue op-
erational missions in direct sup

a member, stayed up one whole
night resolving differences in the
bills passed by the House and by
the senate. All in all, the confer-
ence agreement is better than
either the House or Senate bills.
However, there are so many limi-
tations and restrictions in it that
it is going to be difficult or im-
possible to enforce price control.
Government economists antici-
pate that a sharp increase in food
items will occur within the next
few months as a result of the new
law. Some farm products are be-
low parity. There also have been
reports that the price of new cars
will go up.
One good provision of the law-
is the establishment of the Small
Defense Plants Administration,
which will assist small business
in obtaining Government con-
tracts, scarce materials and fin-
ancing.
