August provides some of the best opportunities in this area
for fox hunting. The area surrounding the University abounds
in fox, and hunting them is simply a matter of mastering hunting
technique and heading for the mountains.
Some particularly good areas are on Nittany Mountain
between Centre Hall and Rebersburg and on
Tuss y Mountain east of Pine Grove Mills.
THE USE OF PREDATOR "CALLS" in
Pennsylvania seems to have caught on as the
most widely-used and recommended method for
fox hunting. Any of the commercial mouth
blown or squeeze-bulb type calls are satisfac
tory. Almost without exception these calls imi
tate the sound of a squealing rabbit.
After a likely location is found, it is im
portant to remain motionless, though it is not
necessary to be hidden
The use of the call itself is a fairly routine matter. The
instructions enclosed with most calls are satisfactory for mas
tering the operation of it.
Once the call is made, it is most important for the hunter
to be vigilant. Most calls will be responded to within 15 to 20
minutes. Foxes have a way of seemingly being invisible, so it is
extremely important that the hunter be shArp-eyed. A pair of
low power binoculars might be helpful.
THE BEST PERIOD OF THE DAY is the three hours im
mediately before dark. Early morning is not a good time. Calling
success, it might be added, is highest when the wind is calm.
Using this technique and a low power rifle (perhaps a .22
Remington or a .22 Hornet) a hunter can have a good deal of
off-season shooting pleasure.
During the spring and summer of this year the Game Com
mission released a record number of 11,386 mallard ducks on
suitable waterfowl habitat in Pennsylvania. This total_ was by
far the highest to date in Pennsylvania, and should provide im
proved duck hunting throughout the state this fall.
I TOOK A VERY ENJOYABLE RIDE on Sunday afternoon.
It convinced me of one thing—Pennsylvania is a beautiful State.
And, indeed, the area within ten or twenty miles of the Uni
versity contains some of the most scenic spots in the state.
Between Centre Hail and Livonia are some fine examples
of beautiful mountain scenery. North along route 322 you can
also find beautiful mountain scenery. Indeed, anywhere you
turn around State College you can find gorgeous scenery.
So the next time you feel a yen for some enjoyment and
your budget is limited, take a short automobile ride and tour
Central Pennsylvania—one of the nation's most scenic areas.
NOW THAT THE SUMMER IS BEGINNING to fade slowly
away, the thoughts of many outdoorsmen turn to hunting.
From all early indications, the prospects in this area for a highly
successful small game season are very good.
As an example, I've seen as many as 25 ringneck pheasants
in a flock as many as four times in the immediate area. Rabbits
are all over the place, and I've never seen so many doves as
this year.
Tax Amendment—
(Continued from page one)
a second time in the House was
due to a parliamentary law which
states that at least two people.
who voted with the prevailing
side, may request the measure to
be brought up for a re-vote.
In referring to this maneuver
last week, Hays said he felt this
was done to give proponents of
the bill more time to sway votes
in its favor. He also mentioned
that this might , give Governor
Lawrence the opportunity to per
suade the 29 Democrats who
voted to defeat the bill to change
their views.

Science Foundation.
The money is to be used for the
development of lecture demon
stration, laboratory experiments
and observational equipment. for
teaching elementary meterology
in'both high schools and colleges
all over the country.
The information compiled will
contain many physical and dy
namic principles which can be
easily demonstrated.
A manual containing 40 to 50
elementary experiments in mete
orology, and inexpensive equip

Football Traffic
To Be Rerouted
From Curtin Road
Curtin Rd. from Shortlidge
to the stadium will be closed
on home football weekends
"to provide a route for pe
destrians to travel without
being molested by vehicular traf
fic," William C. Pelton, director
of security, said yesterday,
Traffic will be rerouted along
more direct roads to the
stadium to aid in getting traffic
to and from the stadium as quick
ly as possible, Pelton said.
Part of the reason for the •re
routing is that this year's football
traffic is expected to the heaviest
in the University's history. Pelton
said that "we don't want people
walking across fields to the sta
dium because this interferes with
cars which are parking in the
Area,"
The rerouting of traffic corn
ing from outside of town will be
as follows:
•Traffic coming from the south
and east on Rt. 322 (from foals
burg) will be directed by a sign
near the Autoport Motel to take
a right, turn at S. Pugh St. to E.
Foster - Ave. which leads into the
University Rd.
•Traffic from the west (Altoo
na, Pittsburgh) on Rt. 322 will be
directed by a sign at Skytop, to
turn onto the Matternville Rd.
which leads to the stadium.
•Traffic from the Huntingdon
area on Rts. 45 and 545 will turn
left at College Ave. (Rt. 45) and
Atherton St. (Rt. 545) and ap
proach the stadium from Park
Ave.
•Traffic from the east via
Bellefonte will approach the sta
dium from Porter Rd.
