SPORTS Regulations For Hounds Hunting After nigh onto 34 years on the Plaindealer sports page we shouldn't want to see the years roll by too fast. But, we do look forward to each year moving toward the annual sports banquet at the Elks Lodge in Woodstock. • Those Elks don't fool around* They get top names in sports for their banquet each year. They must have had a crystal ball when they contracted for Ron Santo and Glenn Beckert some months ago. How could they tell that both would be chosen as tops in their positions at the end of the season? We cranked iq? the buggy early Tuesday evening and took off for the big event. The first person we met was Judge Charlie Parker. Then came a chain of friendly handshakes. Sid Corson was busy at the ticket table. 'Twas a sellout. Our star reporter, Bert Hagemann, and the fellow we have termed the "People's Choice". Dick Rabbit, joined us in the press room where Ron and Glenn graciously signed autographs to take home to the kids. Pictures were taken and good spirit prevailed. Harvard Herald, and had a smiling good time as usual. Vern Kays, County Clerk, was on hand and took a rib from the toast master, Bill Cowlin, about the White Sox. Bill did a good job with short jabs instead of long swings that tend to drag a program. Santo and Beckert each took the mikes for short remarks, then spent quite a while answering questions. Both were high in their praise of Manager Leo Durocher and of Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks. And both are high on the Cub future under Leo and leader. We were pleased to work with Bob Donet who furnished the press releases this year. He was on the ball. Wayne Hahan and his committee had a high batting average in planning another successful Sports Nite. Met Bill DeVries as we left the hall. With surprise, he said, "What the h-- are you doing here?" Meaning, of course, how did they happen to let a White Sox fan in the door. With that, we left with a smile and a wish ji • • g*% Iinnttoo uthiee dtuinniinngg hnaanll aannda wwee tuhuait nnie xt year may find us back ruroeanng uame couldn't have been more pleased again. than to meet and greet our long jtegMilt"6n< Bow Hunters During Special Seas©i Springfield, 111, Oct. 25 -- Bow hunters harvested 67 deer during the special hunting seson held on the Gardner Division of the Mark Twain Wildlife Refuge. The Gardner Division is a series of islands in the Mississippi River north of Quincy. The hunt was organized and administered by the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Conservation. The reason for the hunt was to control the white tail population which is estimated to be about 700 animals. Hie total land area is about 4,500 acres. The season was divided into two parts, October 12-15, inclusive, and October 19-22, inclusive. A total of 800 permits were issued for each portio n of the hunt but many of the recipients did not participate. About 500 archers hunted the first portion and about 400 were on hand for the second portion. Bow hunters killed 31t>ucks and 36 does. The two largest. bucks were taken by Quincy residents. Richard Wells bagged a 4% year old 8-point buck weighing 236 pounds, field dressed, the heaviest deer killed. A 4% year old, 14-pointer, killed by Paul Shaffer, was the second largest deer taken. In 1967, 154 white tails were killed on the Gardner Division by bow hunters. This year hunters were discouraged by a rainy first portion, a heavy leaf canopy and dense stands of nettles, poison ivy and giant ragwood. A large amount of standing corn, the bane of all deer hunters, added to the difficulties faced by the archers during the special hunt.

If a closet becomes unusually damp in humid weather, use a dehumidifying agent until some of the moisture is absorbed. population is low due to poor nesting conditions on the Canadian prairies, where most of the ducks that migrate through Illinois are hatched. Another program is that duck, foods are scarce in the Illinois] and Mississippi River Valleys because of fluctuating water levels this summer. The arrival of duck flights may be delayed because rains in the Dakotas have tended to hold waterfowl in that area. But even there the population is down. In late October 1966 about 88,000 mallards were seen along the Missouri River in South Dakota. In 1967 there were about 80^000 during this period but this year only 40,- 000 were seen. Bellrose observed about 59,- 000 ducks during a census flight on October 21 in the Illinois River Valley from Depue to Grafton. Five days later the population in this stretch of the Illinois had decreased to about 48,000. Most of the decrease was in the lower Illinois River from Peoria south and is due, in all probability, to a lack of waterfowl foods. On Oct. 26 1967 there were about 321,000 ducks in the Illinois River Valley, close to 80,000 above Peoria andthe remainder belowthat city. From Oct. 21 to Oct. 26, 1968, the population increased on the Mississippi River from 80,000 to about 236,000 ducks. Approximately 123,000 fewer scaup arrived in Navigation Pool 19 between Keokuk and Nauvoo and about 32,000 stopped between Nauvoo and Fort Madison. But further south at Batchtown the river level was lowered and about 28,000 pintails that would have provided shooting on opening day left when their shallow water feeding areas became mud flats. On Oct. 23, 1967, Bellrose saw about 215,000 ducks on the Mississippi, most of them below Keokuk. "Pve censused ducks in Illinois for 30 years, the last 20 of them from the air, and I have rover seen such a poor prospect for •craning day," Bellrose said. u Conditions on thelllinois River are especially bad. When the ducks arrive the chances are that they will not stay long because of the food shortage in the bottomland lakes. If we have a dry fall and a lot of fall plowing, the picked cornfields, won't be available. When mallards can work the cornfields, they tend to stay longer," Bellrose concluded.
