Ten Points To Observe For Safety:
In “'Oods “'hilc Hunting Re- '
viewed By Gallic Pro-

If hunters will operate under
DEFINITELY SEE IT
ANIMAL.”
IS AN
before
dents during the hunting season
teeter Paul Hughey pointed out
in urgently requesting hunters to
WAYS loaded—«even when you are
positive that it is not,” he added
in outlining ten points for hunt—
ers to follow while in the woods:
1. NEVER POINT A GUN at
anyone or anything unless
you intend to kill.
NEVER swing a gun in the‘
general direction of your
companions.
. NEVER carry a loaded gun
in your car; Unload it BE-
FORE you get in, load it
AFTER you get out.
. NEVER drag a gun behind
you when climbing a fence;
always push it through
first.
NEVER have a gun cockedl
as you go through the thick
underbrush.
. NEVER shoot on suspiciOn!
Only a “Cracker” shoots at
anything unless he is sure
of what it is and sees clear-
ly the whole of it or thei
course of the bullet. I
. ALWAYS know where your.
companions are BEFORE
you shoot. Don’t shoot in
their general direction, and:
be careful of other partiesl
who may be near.
. ALWAYS wear a bright red
hat or coat, and shoes that
won’t slip or trip you. At-
tention to minor details will
prevent accidents.
ALWAYS get permission of
the owner to hunt on his
property. Making your
presence known to him will
be an added safety factor,
as hunting licenses do not
give hunters the right to
trespass. I
ALWAYS remember that
each year many are killed
while hunting and even
larger numbers are injured.
BE CAREFUL i l

, Mason County, Best Deer Area Ill
‘ Western Washington, Likely
‘ To Attract. Huge Mob
I‘ fit Deer Seekers
Deer hunting returns to nor—
lopening of the 22-day 1941 sea-
,son next Sunday, meaning that
‘the doe area which was estab-
lished in the eastern part of the
county the past two seasons has
been abolished, for which: many
. hunters and Game Protector Paul
Hughey are highly thankful.
Two hunters were killed in the
doe area the opening day 'of the
1940 season and the great con-
gestion of hunters attracted to
the area. by the hope of getting
a deer of either sex or any size
created a serious hazard to hu-
man life.
More Hunters Predicted
However, Game Protector. Hugh-
ey isn’t looking forward to the
, 1941 season with any greater op-
timism than before because he
,beiieVes Mason County will draw
a tremendous influx of hunters
due to the reputation the county
has built up as the best deer area
in Western Washington and also
Ito the greatly increased popula-
tion in the Bremerton area. Hugh-
ey is of the Opinion that a large
majority Of Bremerton and vicin-
ity hunters will head for MaSOn
‘County, he said this week.
Outside of the abolishment of
the doe area, regulations govern-
ing deer and bear hunting this
year are essentially the same as
last year. Two bear may be taken
again this year, one buck deer
with branched antlers. The bear
season extends, however, until
January 31 while the deer season
closes 'October 26. '
Conditions Favorable,
The prospect for good hunting
is favorable, Hughey reports, for
the deer population, has been in-
creasing steadily and weather con—
ditions the past week also, are in
the hunters’ favor. '
Shooting for bear and deer is
permissable between the hours of
one-half hour before sunrise un-
til sunset, this differing from the
hours for bird shooting, which is
from sunrise to 4 pm. daily.
Hughey Iurges hunters to ex-.
ercise care to avoid loss of ,hli'
man life and wastage ofzgzpheff
“Every fall after the “daunting
season we find considerablejdead
game,” he said. “No sportsman
wants this condition to exist and
we of the game department ask
[the cooperation of every hunter
‘in our effort to minimize it.
Shoot With Foresight
“DO not kill a deer-or bear in
an area from which it is im-
possible to remove it and don’t
wound an animal and then leave
it to go away and die," were his
admonitions to hunters.
He added that it is essential
the hunter’s big game tag be at--
tached to the antlers of the deer
as soon as the kill is made and
that the head not be severed from
the body during transportation.
All big game cards must be
mailed to the game department
within 30 days after the close of
the season. Hughey pointed out,
and DON’T FORGET TO HAVE‘
YOUR HUNTING LICENSE ON
YOUR PERSON when you go into
the woods, he warned.
The game protector urges that
all hunters cooperate vw'th the
I, farmers of the county, asking per-
missiOn before going on private
property and being careful not to
damage livestock. fences or other
property.

CADET DAVID WISS
Uncle Sam doubtless has many
brothers serving in his armed ser-
vices but probably few brothers
serving in the same branch of the
service at the same location. So
the record of two Shelton broth~
ers, Donald and David Wiss, sons
of Mr. and Mrs. Lantz Wiss of
1725 Summit Drive, is probably
fairly unique.
Both are now stationed at the.
Corpus Christi, Texas, training
field with the U. S. Naval Air
Corps, Donald with rank of
Ensign, David a Flying Cadet
working on the last lap of his
course to becoming an Ensign.

earning his rank of Ensign, at

SECOND DAMPEST
SEPTEMBER F0 R
4.90 Inches Rain Past Month, But
Year Still 8 Inches Below
Normal For Period
Shelton’s second wettest Sept-
ember was written into the Ray-
onier weather bureau records by
Weatherman Bernard Winiecki
yesterday with a total of 4.90!
inches of precipitation being reg-
istered during the 30-day period.
The only wetter September on
the ten-year record at the Ray-
Onier weather bureau occurred
away back in 1933, when 6.31 in-
lehes of dampness‘was recorded.
The average September precipi-
tation for Shelton is only 2.48 in-‘
ches, according to the Rayonier
bureau’s figures, so this past
month Was almost twice normal
dampness.
Rain occurred on 17 days with
traces on two other days, Wi-I
nieeki‘s table for the month
shows.
Still Short Of Average
1 This area, however, is still
[almost eight inches short of nor-
mal rainfall for the first three-
quarters of the year. The nine
months to date in 1941 have pro-
duced 30.42 inches of rain while
normal dampness over that per-
iod would be 38.04 inches, the
Rayonier bureau records show.
Carrying the same line Of
thought a step farther, with but
three months left to go 1941 still
stands a fair chance of being the
driest year in Shelton’s recorded‘
weather history for the 30.42 inch
total to date leaves 18.24 inches
of rain to fall in last quarter of
the year before that 48.66 inch
record low total set in 1938 is
reached.
Ahead Of Driest Year
However, the first nine months
of 1938 totalled only 27.89 inches
of rain, about three inches less
than the same period this year, so
the last three months this year
will have to show quite a slacken-
ing of pace.
Other minor data on September
weather finds the month’s highest
temperature 74-degree readings
taken on both the 7th and 24th,
the lowest 38-degree readings on
the 20th and 2lst, the greatest
daily range 32 degrees on the

days of rain during the month.
A maximum temperature read-
ing of 76 degrees was recorded

certain to bring many interesting
subjects to his class.

the. demands made upon them by
groups participating in the Na-
tional Preparedness Program for
First Aid Instruction, are clam-
oring for this service of the Red

of the county, have already ex-
pressed a desire to take the In-
structor‘s Course. It will not be
necessary for those who have not
as yet signified an intention to
take this course to register, but
the Chapter would like all those
who are interested and intend to
take the course to contact Lorrel
Seljestad or Walter Spinharncy,
chairman and vice-chairman, re-
spectively, of first aid, or Chap-
ter Chairman Lund.
