People Learn The Hard Way
Most hunters are good citizens,
but occasionally game: protectors
encounter persons who perpetually
flaunt the law in defiance of pen-
alties and restrictions placed upon
them,
On [November 1, a Cassville,
Huntingdon County man was ar-
rested by game protectors and fined
for hunting and killing 6 gray squir~
rels during the Governor's hunting
ban. On the 29th of the same month,
game protectors again arrested this
man for illegally’ killing wand pos-
sessing 2 deer in close season.
In another case, November 13 of
this year proved the start of an
unlucky streak for a. man living
near MdVeytiown, Mifflin, County.
He. was picked up by game pro-
tectors on that date for killing deer
in close. seasop and for. humniting
small game while hiis license was
revoked. Not satisfied, the same
man was caught hunting deer on
December ‘3. This being the ‘third
offense the perpetual violator. was
fined the maximum penalty and,
in addition, was placed fm jail for
a lengthy stay.
A Montgomery [County man ap-
pears to be out to set somewhat
of a rerord as am “outlaw hunter”,
having been prosecuted each year
for three consecutive yeams,'In 1950
he killed an antlerless deer during
the buck season and ingeniously
attached antlers, ‘but: was ‘detected:
and paid a penalty of $100 with
revocation of hunting privileges In
1951 he secured a license under an
assumed name and hunted ‘two days,’
resulting in.a higher penalty. ‘This
year, he again hunted during a
period when hunting privileges had
been suspended and killed ‘a buck
deer. The fine for this offense was
of the hearing on. ‘the last icase,
the hunter requested permission ‘to
deposit his guns with the Court,
just to avoid further temptation,
unti] such time as he would have
his hunting privileges restored.
Warning Is Well Placed
The inscription on a board above
tthe gun rack in a Huntingdon Coun-
ty sportsman’s camp reads: “All
the game fin the woads is not worth
the life of one person.”
Report Big Game Kills
The Pennsylvania Game Law re-
quires hunters who bag big game
animals in the state ‘to report their
kills to the Harnisburg office of the
Game ‘Commission,
Knowledge ‘of the extent of bear
and deer harvests is important to
the Commission, Successful big
game hunters, including those who
are permitted by law to hunt with-
out license, are requested to report
their kills at omnice, either by the
big: gamle kill card attached to their
hunting license or by postal card.
The. time, place (county and town-
ship), sex; weight, and number of
antler points, if amy, should be
furnished... Full cooperation of the
nimrods is helpful to the Commis-
sion, in developing and managing
their future sport.
To Sell Forfeited Auto
In accondance with the Game
Law, which provides for ‘the icon-
‘fiscation of equipment illegally used
in the spotlighting of deer, the
Game (Commission has confiscated
an automobile so used and is offer-
ing it for sale,
The (Game Commission confiscated
a 1951 Pontiac car on June 20, The
‘auto was used in the illegal, night
killing iof a deer in Lycoming Coun-
ty on Novembe 30, 1951, by a
spotlight - attached to the wehicle.

gation in the case. ;
The Pontiac will be sold at pub-
lic auction at Bek’s (Central !Stor-
age ‘Garage, Williamsport,
a.m. on December 30.
Violations Reviewed
Game (Commission nelcords show
that, in the order given, ‘the pre-
dominating violations in the 1952
small game season, to date, were:
- [hunting in safety zones; hunting
without license, on (borrowed lic-
enise, or non-residents hunting on
resident license; carrying loaded
guns in vehicles; and killing deer
in close season.
In the bear and buck deer sea-
son, game law breakers fell into
these principal classifications, in
the ‘order of numbers prosecuted:
killing illegal deer; license viola-
tions @s given in the November
bunting; loaded guns in cars; shoot-
ing at random; and violations of
the roster law,
In October of (this year, 481 per-
sons were prosecuted for game law
infractions in Pennsylvania. Penal~
ties collected totaled $15,179.31,
Really Meant No Hunting
Game Protector Paul R. Miller,
Butler, says it is evident someone
tried to help enforce the Governor's
hunting ban in his own little way.
Miller tells that early in Novem-
ber a sportsman showed him a
note that/ was placed on the wind-
shield of this car while he was hunt-
ing hickory muts. It read: ‘Don’t
you know there is no hunting of
any kind since the Governor closed
the season? Get lout of the woods
and stay out.”

Dear Mrs. Risley:
I have followed with considerable

am sure you will appreciate it.
I want my boy to have a dog
Or maybe two or three
He'll learn from #hem much easier
Than he would learn from me
A dog would show him how to love
And bear no grudge or hate;
I'm mot so good at that myself
But dogs will do it straight
I want my boy to have a dog
To. be his pal and friend :
So he miay learn that friendship
Is faithful] to the end
There never yet has been a dog
Who learned to double-cross
Nor catered to you when you 'wion
Then dropped you when you lost.

little girl, poorly clad, walked hesitantly into Jim Oliver's store hoe
to look at the toys on Friday. .Timidly she asked Art Brown
if she might hold one of the dollies. Then she took it in her
arms, mothering and fondling it. As she sat rocking it in a toy
chair, tears began to stream down her cheeks. She knows she is
not going to have any toys this year. She’s brave and she he
doesn’t mind. But the touch of the little doll in her arms iE
brought the tears that she had tried so hard to hold back. Art ; at

to be any Santa Claus at our house this year.” Since last Christ-
mas, she explained, her daddy hasn't had a steady job. There
has been sickness; the chickens he tried to raise on his little :
plot of ground at Huntsville all have died. There are ten broth- : 0
ers and sisters in her family. There is a scant amount to eat. Ya

Perhaps you have wondered whether the little girl whose story
was published in The Post got her doll or whether her smaller broth-
ers and sisters had food for Christmas.
Late Christmas Eve, long after most residents of Dallas wore.
in bed, a lady who had been touched by her plight stopped at the
child’s home and left the doll—and one for her Jister—and toys
enough for all tHe'other children. TheyThad been “provided by the
late Jim Oliver who combed his shelves to see that those youngsters
had a glorious Christmas.. A day later, clutching her doll close to b
her breast, the little girl trudged three miles through the heavy ]
snow to find the name of the lady so that she could name her dolly Ea
after her. Ls
But toys were not all that was needed in that family. The 5
father, a skilled sheet metal worker, had been out. of work for a =
year. The mother bravely held the family together, canning vege- =
tables and fruit from the garden. She patched the children’s cloth !
made every cent go as far as possible. :
Christmas Eve found the group without food. There was no o
flour, sugar, bread or any of the other necessities. There was no. 3

Then all the courage left’ her as a barefooted little girl in a . ah

best to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for her little flock. The
tears just wouldn’t stay back. :
“Never mind,” said the lady. “We've got the dolly here 2nd
there will be other things in the morning.” And as she spoke, she
bent over and with an understanding heart, kissed the woman who
somehow at the moment resembled another mother—nineteen hun-
