Rabbit Trapping Every year the Game Commis- sion’s winter project of rabbit box trapping and liberation experiences considerable interference from stray or uncontrolled animals usually classed as house pets. Tn addition, and for reasons often difficult to ascertain, humans some- times reduce the effectiveness of the program by removing, closing, or breaking ifthe wooden traps, or iberating rabbits from them. program has a two-fold pur- to remove cottontails from s where they cause damage release ‘them as brood stock open hunting territory to in- ase the gunners’ sport.

Winter-Born Fawn Tempts Fate Fawns are a rather common sight to those who roam the wood- lands in. spring land early summer. But seeing one of ‘these: little spot- ted creatures in [Pennsylvania in a fawn born in severe cold would quickly perish from exposure. The mild winter weather in this south- ern county was largely responsible for the little deer’s survival. Mr. Lesh fis of the opinion, the mother of this fawn gave birth to twins last winter, at approximately the same date. It is his belief they survived. Because of an unbalanced sex ratio in deer in Pennsylvania it is not uncommon for deer to be born in fall. Hunters occasionally report seeing deer “in the spots” in the December season. Fawns that come into the world in mid-winter are, however, stretching their luck to the extreme, Kill Totals For 1952 The official big game count, ac- cording to individual tags returned by successful huniters in Penmnsyl- vania' last year, has been made. The Game Commission reports these totals: Legal antlered deer 27,164 (Includes 24 killed during the spec- ial archery season.) Antlerless deer 37,829 The 1952 bag of legal bears was 261, individual reports show. | The big game bag in 1951 was: legal antlered deer (including 33 by archers), 34,582; legal antler- less deer, 37,952; legal black bears, 429, State’s Planting Program On lands administered by the Game Commission the wildlife food and cover development program is a year around activity, During the past several months, much of the time of the ICommis- sion’s food and cover crews has been ‘devoted to improving wood- land and field borders through the romoval of overshadowing tree growth. [Cuttings made there not only encourage additional repro- duction and sprout growth, but the shrubs and vines released increase in size and produce much larger crops of fruits, berries and nuts, so important to wildlife. Completed plans show this win- ter activity will soon be replaced by a spring planting ° program. Through it several hundred thou- cand evergreens—Scotch pine, red pine, white pine, and Norway spruce—will be planted on steep slopes to produce cover for wild- life and at the same time reduce soil erosion land help maintain ade- quate moisture in the ground. This ‘spring, many shrubs and vines will be grouped along the edges of gullies and in odd corners to develop plantings that will pro- duce food for wildlife. These in- clude multiflora rose, gray dog- wood, tatarian honeysuckle, fox grape, and bittersweet. Over one million of these food producers are planted annually on state owned and’ leased lands. (Wildlife foods from these native trees, shrubs and vines must be supplemented by rotation, plantings of corn, small grains, clovers and grasses, The locations and types of food strips planted are detei- mined by the soil and types of YOUR HEALTH What is a balanced diet? Food on a plate held on the end of a stick by a juggler? [Food balanced on ‘a pair of scales ? A diet varied in food intake at each meal, properly prepared and consumed in such quantities as to obtain and maintain desirable weighit, will generally be a balanced diet. On the other hand, when the source lof calories is limited primar- ily to a single food material such as polished rice or corn, we see nutritional imbalance at its worst. Nutritional imbalance afflicts vast numbers of persons with beriberi and pellagra. In the Philippines, beriberi ranks a close second to tuberculosis as a cause of death, A balanced diet shoud include all of the protective foods such as meat, fish. milk, eggs, fruits, vege- tables, enriched and whole grain breads and cereals, Because mutrition is a factor in the growth, function, maintainance, and repair of all the cells of the body, a balanced diet is necessary to good health. In fact, diet is known to be the most important environmental fac- tor affecting health. Eveny citizen interested in im- proving health, not only from a purely personal basis, but from a national and international point of view, should be interested in, know something about, and practice eating a balanced diet. Keep yourself well balanced by a well balanced diet. Do You Know?

Endlosed is an article recently printed in a San Diego paper. It is the stony of one of the rescues my unit made while on the Valley Forge. /It is typical of ithe routine makes him one of the most popular men on ‘the ship. All of the pilots say that nothing is too good for a helicopter pilot and they go out of their way ‘to really make it just that. Since I was fhome last, I have been promoted to Senior Grade Lieutenant (same as Army Cap- tain), and that added half stripe is sure good for my mirale. While we were on the way out to San Diego from Pensacola last July, we were driving through Biloxi, Mississippi, and walking along the street was Ken Shaffer and his wife. (We stopped and talked for a while and we were all surprised at the chance meeting so far from fhome, I don’t kniow just when we will be getting home again. I thought wie would be coming home on leave about now but that thas been changed. I am back in full flying duty now after recovering from that accident. Tt sure was close. The helicopter had sunk eight feet un- der the surface before IT managed to pull myself out. Well, Howard, that is about all for now, except to say how much wee enjoy reading The Post.

First of all, television will benefit by being flooded with a large number of fairly recent movies which have been kept back by distributors. Why? Be- cause, with 3-D pictures coming out, video is the only market for these films.. The movie mo- guls feel that the new 3-dimen- sional technique will be so strong standard film product, even shown for free on TV, won't be a competitive threat. Secondly, this new technique of the theaters is giving TV en- gineers added impetus to per- fect three-dimensional TV pic- tures, too. However, there is no principle known at present which will bring three - dimensional equipment which will always be too expensive for commercial TV use. Still, even with glasses it would be something!
