This area has the last few
counties in the state where lt
is lawful to hunt deer with
dogs. Counties where dogs may
be used to hunt deer are: Har-
din, Jasper, Nacogdoches, New-
ton, Orange, Panola, Polk, San
Jacinto, Tyler and part of Har-
rison.
Quail season in this area and
most of the state is Dec. 1
through Feb. 15. Daily bag lim-
it is 12 and possession limit is
36.
Present conditions indicate
that this will be one of the bet-
ter seasons for squirrels. State
Game Biologist Wm. T. Wright
had the following encouraging
words for hunters:
“All indications point to a
real good hunting season for
squirrels. We had a tremendous
spring crop and a good fall crop
of young squirrels and for the
past few days the old Fox
Squirrels have really been on
the ground. This year’s crop
appears better than in the past
two or three years, but we need
a rain before Sunday to im-
prove hunting conditions.
“There is not much mast this
year. We have found a lot of
Beech mast, though there are
not many Beech trees. Iron-

wood, Hickory and Overcup
oak trees all have good mast,
but acorns on Redoak, White-
oak and Pinoak are down.
However, the understory fruit,
haws, berries, etc., is good,”
Wright said.
“If we have real good hunt-
ing conditions, good moisture
arid low wind, most any hunter
should be able to kill a nice
bag of squirrels. And I’d like
to remind citizens that our ex-
perience and research bears out
the fact that we do not hurt
the squirrel crop by hunting
them. We need to harvest them,
The law of diminishing returns
sees to that. If there are a lot
of squirrels hunters return
morp often to the woods and
bag more of them, but there are
still plenty left to restock. If
hunters have poor luck they do
not hunt much thus leaving the
light crop of squirrels alone to
produce a good crop for the
next season,” Wright explain-
ed.
He said that the deer crop in
the area should be about like
a year ago, give or take five
percent. There was a pretty fair
fawn crop in the area, around
20 to 25 percent, he said.
A word of caution to hunt-
ers. Snakes of all descriptions
are on the move! The warm
weather has encouraged their
movement and many citizens
have been bringing coral
snakes, rattlesnakes and others
by the 3EE office and have re-
ported seeing many of them in
the woods. So boots are a must
in the woods and hunters
should use caution and watch
where they put their feet.

MORE WARNINGS TO HUNTERS were brought
to the Bee office Monday. The 24-inch Coral snake
brought in by W. H. Holland and the four-foot, eight
inch canebreak rattler shown with Brown Maricle
give testimony that danger still lurks in the woods
this fall. Holland, who ran over the coral near Seg-
no Monday, asked the BEE to warn all hunters that
snakes are now on the move. Maricle said he and
Jerry Crowder shot the rattler with a .22 hollow-
point Friday as it crawled across the Cravens Camp
Road. The big snake had eight rattles and a button.

142 limb.
Have you ever had a good
bass on your line—heading for
the boat—and had him run un-
der a limb and refuse to budge?
No matter how hard you tug.
he just refuses to come out. I
know I have, several times. In
fact, just last week.
It sure can be aggravating to
fight a fish nearly all the way
to the boat and lose him under
a limb.
Well, last weekend I had an
opportunity to try out a trick
which John Fox taught me
few years back. A trick which
proved to be successful.
John has a theory that most
of the time when a bass gets
tangled on the way to the boat,
he has simply stuck his nose
under a limb. With the lever-
age the fish has with the line
around the limb, it is nearly im-
possble to pull hm free.
Giving the fish some slack
seldom helps, usually the fish
just moves a little further un-
der the limb.
The trick is very simle, jusi
hold a tight line and pick your
line like it was a guitar string,
ive the fish just a little slack.
)o this six or eight times, then
As soon as the bass moves, be
prepared to sock it to him and
yank him out from under the
It is not completely foolproof,
however it can help you get a
few that you would have or-
dinarily lost.
I’m not too sure why it
works, but it does—at least
sometimes. John said
he thought that the vibration
of the line aggravated the fish
just enough to make him move.
The Silsbee Bass Club held
family fish fry Saturday at
GSU Li'-e Wires Club park off
of Cooks Road. Highlights of
the outing included a casting
contest. First place went to
Dick Strong: second, Butch
Suitt: third, Ronald Hickerson;
Jerry Jones, fourth; and fifth,

Foresters estimate that na-

By Crawford C. Martin
Attorney Gsasral at Tem
The typical American home
is a potential death trap for
the unsuspecting child and the
unwary adult. According to the
Public Health Service, each
year 500,000 children swallow
a poisonous household product
which has been left within their
reach—and 500 die.
A recent move by the Food
and Drug Administration is a
step in the right direction to
overcome this hazard. After
Sept. 13, 1972, manufacturers
were required to package their
products in childproof contain-
ers.
The regulation covers liquid
furniture polishes that contain
at least 10 percent mineral seal
oil, which is a crude form of
mineral oil used to put a shine
on furniture. When swallowed
by children such polishes can
cause lung disease.
Furniture polish packages
must pass two tests under the
new regulations. First, a sam-
ple of children under five years
old must not be able to open
the package 85 percent of the
time, but a panel of adults
must be able to open it 90 per-
cent of the time. The second
test sitpulates that the opening
of the container must restrict
the flow of polish so that only
about half a teaspoon can be
obtained from one shake or
squeee of the opened container.
The FDA is moving to re-
quire childproof containers as
these for toxic products con-
taining turpentine or petroleum
distillates, methyl alcohol and
sulfuric acid. Common house-
hold substances that would be
affected include paint thin-
ners, solvents, auto gasoline
antifreeze and certain liquid
drain cleaners. These toxic or
caustic products, if accidentally
consumed can cause serious in-
death. Severe damage
and stomach, perma-
nent blindness, and lung dis-
ease often result. Some are
dangerously caustic if merely
dropped on the skin. The warn-
ing labels now attached to
these products aren’t very' ef-
fective in alerting inquisitive
toddlers and pre-schoolers. Al-
so, the appearance, color, and
sometimes masked fragrance
can trap a child into a fatal
error.
The new FDA ruling in re-
gard to furniture polish con-
tainers and others they may
propose will reduce the danger
to the consumer—but only the
consumer himself can elimi-
nate hazards. When you use tox-
