int System On
Duck Bog Limit
Announced Again
T i.
..........
AUSTIN: The popular “point
system" for duck bag limits
goes into its second year of
use in Texas when the curtain
rises on the 1971-72 waterfowl
season this fall.
The system is basically the
same as last year, but two
species of ducks have been
given , a higher point value by
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Commission. CanvaSbaek and
redhead ducks each will carry
a 100 point designation instead
of last year's 90 points.
All other species have the
same point rating as last year.
The duck and goose seasohs
are approximately the same as
last year. ton. with both start-
ing Nov, 3. The duck season,
however, closes .Ian, 11- while
goose hunting continues thru
Jan 16. ’ -
The seasons, as usual, were
set within the framework
recommended by the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service
Shooting hours , for . ducks
and geese will'be one-half hour
before sunrise to sunset daily,
a change from l$st year when
ducks could not he taken be-
fore' sunrise.' Bag limits " on
geese remain the same, five
daily and in possession.
Daily bag limit on ducks
will he “one to 10," with pos-
session the maximum number
-which could be taken legally
in two- days.
The point system specifies
that “the dally Aag limit is
reached when thA1 point value
of the last bird [taken during
the day and added to the sum
of the point value -of the ducks
already taken that day reaches
or exceeds 100 points.” So a
hunter who kills a redhead or
canvasfiack first has filled his
limit for the day and must
cease hunting.
Next do the canvasbacks and
redheads, the highest rated
ducks are 90-pointers. They ate
mallard hens, black ducks,
wood ducks, Mexican ducks and
hooded mergansers. Ducks
counting 20 points are mallard
drakes, pintail hens, ring-neck-
ed and mottled ducks. All
others count 10 points, except
for the closed season on all
tree ducks.
The commission also changed
shooting hours (losing time for
the special P al , season
Sept 11-19 [o “silffSet’! daily,
rather than the “one hour be-
fore sunset" as earlier specified
by federal regulations, Bag
limits are four daily and eight
in possession during the. Sep--
.(ember season only. Teal count
10 points in the regular season.
An extension was provided on
the sandhill crane. Season, from
Oct. 30 to Jan. 30 in the west-
ern • zone, an increase from 72
days last year to ij3 days; and
from Dec. 4 to Jan. 30 in the
eastern zone, tip from 37 days
to 58 “Bays. Limits are three
daily and six ,in possession.

WASHINGTON, I). C,: Mem-
bers of Congress returning to
Washington this week .after an
August recess, bring back a
common comment.’ People back
home are disturbed about a
great many things — inflation,
schools, crime and drugs, the
war—to mention a lew.
Justified or not, it seems we
are mired in an age of disbe-
lief which is eroding our will
as a Nation and as individuals,
not only to succeed but to sur-
vive,
?Sons do not believe fathers'-
blacks do not believe whites
and vice versa. Stockholders do
not believe corporate execu-
tives, and citizens have grave
doubts about their government
at all levels. Even clergymen
are doubted because of the mil-
itant acts of a few.
Does this sense of despair
and skepticism really * matter?
It certainly does if we believe
that thi's Country was built on
self-confidence, a pride in its
past and a faith in the future.
A great nation without self-
confidence is as unlikely to con-
tinue its greatness as a busi-
nessman who is without deter-
minations
As has be/n said in this
m
space before, likely Government
lias promised, too much to too
many. When these expectations
failed to materialize in a short
time, many people seem to lack
the maturity to fleal with ad-
versity,.....
Black leaders; castigate the
whole system of Gcfv'ermnepj. as
racistbecause inequalities anti-
prejudices' persist. Tliq _ i.fffl't
that great comparative .. gains
have been made is overlooked.
Civil libertarians characterize'
our Government as. “repres
sive.” They ignore all evidence
that never in history lias lltfre
been a freer age than this.
'Tviany of the young disparage
society as “unresponsive.” The
fact is, never has a society
been more oriented towards
child welfare and the young
than today. „
In short, there seems to be
missing in our society that
sense ,of proportion upon which
all good healthy , conditions de-
pend.
Our rlvajs on the world scene
—the Russians and Red Chinese
—are able, determined, thrust-
ing, and are evidently endowed
with a strong sense of purpose,
of destiny, and. yes; patriot-
ism. They have their problems,
no doubt about that, hut their
national and international goals
and ambitions appear to be'in-
tact, uneaten . by the cancer of
disbelief;
No suggestion or even infer-
ence is being made t hat we
should blindly trust all the
cliches and slogans which con-
stantly bombard us—it, is our
inherent right, duty, and respon-
sibility to seek truth on which
to base our trust. lYi fact, the
acceptance of “evejyone knows”
such and such may be contri-.
buting to our dis’liiihance. A
recent development may be a
good example. Since Rachel
Carson's book “Silent, Spring”
“everyone has known” that
DDT is an awful thing. Now
Dr. Philip Handler, President
of the • prestigious .National
Academy of Sciences says that
no harm to humans teas 'been
proved and “the tales of dam-
age to fish and wildlife appear
to have been woefully exagger-
ated.” A dozen or so fop rank-
ing scientists support this opin-
ion. In this instance “what
everyone knows” is wrong. The
application can doubtless be

made in many other correct

Ben Johnson once observed
