SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER HERALD. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 5.1984 Nation/World A little hunting tale... By United Press International PUMPKIN CENTER, S.D. - I leaned over and kissed my hun­ ting partner on the cheek. My daughter, Kendra, 13, blush­ ed a little. "Why'd you do that?" "I just wanted to find out what it's like to kiss a hunting partner," I said teasingly. "Sometimes you're weird," she replied, adjusting her long blonde hair under the oversized hunting cap. We sat on portable canvas stools on a hillside between the field and a nearby evening roost, scanning the horizon for incoming mourn­ ing doves. I was proud of her. She handled the slick little .20 gauge pump smoothly and carefully, remembering the lessons she had received under South Dakota'^ Hunter Safety Certification pro­ gram. All young hunters are required to pass the course before they can obtain a state hunting license at the age of 12. But they must hunt with a parent or guardian. We had attended the program together for a week last spring. After 90 years of hunting it even prompted me to take the test and receive my certification card from the Game, Fish and Parks, Department. The lessons were repeated over and over again later when I taught f her to shoot clay piegons tossed from a spring-loaded trap. "Lucky,'* I thought, when she dropped a dove with a puff of feathers during our first hunting outing. But the luck disappeared when a second bird fell, a third and more. "Is your safety on?" I asked fre­ quently. "I always put it back on after I shoot, you know that," she replied firmly. The shotgun I had selected was a wise investment. Our safety in­ structor had advised against a single shot hammer model for a young shooter. "It is too hard to pull back the hammer and then release it back to a safe position if you don't shoot," he told me. "And don't buy a .410 for a youngster. They won't hit* anything and will become discouraged. In my opinion, a .20 gauge is the best choice." So I pulled the belt bucket a lit­ tle tighter to fit another shotgun into the family budget. I searched my closet and came up with a .38 revolver I hadn't used in years. Some horse trading at the local gun shop helped offset the price of a new lightweight pump with a short barrel that seemed ideal for a beginning shooter. "Do you remember when your dad first took you hunting?" my daughter asked during a lull in the shooting. HOLLYWOOD - Bob Hope loves election years and proves it Friday night with monologue broadsides at President Reagan and Walter Mondale as he kicks off his 35th year on TV. Not since Will Rogers has any comedian bombed U.S. presidents and would-be White House oc­ cupants as gleefully as rapid Robert. He began when Roosevelt was the chief executive 46 years ago. During Roosevelt's awesome bat­ tles with publisher Bertie McCor- mick, Hope observed that Fala, Roosevelt's dog, was the only White House pooch paper-trained on the Chicago Tribune. A long-time pal of President Reagan, Hope said he strives to be fair to both candidates. Indeed, lie tosses more barbs at Reagan than he does Mondale. "It's easier to pick on the top dog," Hope explained. "People know I'm a friend of Reagan's, so I try to keep it even. You don't want to pick on the underdog too much. Nobody likes that." Even so, Hope took a cue from the cricket who invaded the presidential bedroom earlier this month, causing the president and first lady a couple of sleepless nights. "I can understand Mondale sneaking into the White House," Hope said. Following a long pause, he added, "But rubbing his hind legs together!" He grinned rafishly and added, "Every time Mondale gives a speech, Reagan's hair gets darker. a "Reagan's not worried. He's "Yes," I said, recalling my in­ itial experience walking woods in Michigan's Upper Pennisula for ruffed grouse. "Did he buy you a new gun?" "No, I used a little .410 over- and-under with a .22 barrel on top," I said. "It had a hammer and my dad made me carry it open all the time. If a bird flushed I could put a shell in, close the gun, pull back the hammer and try to shoot it." "You ever get any birds?" "Not when I was your age. They were gone before I closed the gun.'.' "That must have been hard," she said. "It was," I replied. "But he did it to teach me gun safety. You got ' your safety on?" "Yes, dad," she groaned. A pair of doves moved closer off the field, twisting, turning and dipping as they closed the gap bet­ ween us. She picked the nearest bird and stayed with it, swinging until she squeezed off a shot that dropped the small target. Our Brittany named Kokanee respond­ ed to the fetch command and located the fallen dove. "You got your safety on?" I ask­ ed after she put the bird in the cooler. She nodded and smiled. I fought off the temptation to kiss my hun­ ting partner again. I didn't want her to think I was weird. 12 .IT -- • . ± "lilAl \urrMkm HJI Gunman holds three hostage Chicago Police with guns aimed at the door of the - and female customer were found shot to death.

He waves to the crowd daring a ticker- tape parade through downtown Orlando. Kittinger crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a solo flight in the "Balloon of Peace." He left Caribou, Maine, on Sept. 14 and landed in Savona, Italy, Sept. 18. Politicians are a laughing matter to Mr. By United Press International Bob Hope confident he will win. But he's tak­ ing no chances, making Bush wear a dress." Hope has a quiver full of political darts for Friday's monologue, but very few will be aimed at Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro. He believes it ill behooves a comedian to make fun of a lady. With Eleanor Roosevelt, one of his favorite targets of the past, it was different. She was definitely an upper dog and internationally beloved. Hope said he felt sorry for candidate Ferraro. But Mondale is fair game. "Mondale is fighting Reagan on religion," he said. "He wants to separate church from state -- and Reagan from state. "Mondale's scared. He thinks God is a Republican. He has to be to own all that property. Hope says his favorite political target remains ex-President Gerald Ford, especially gibes about his propensity for hitting spectators with errant golf shots. "When Gromyko gets down to disarmament talks, the first item on his agenda is taking away Ford's golf clubs," Hope quipped. Much as he likes political material, Hope pounces on any subject in the news, including the recent Miss America travails of dethroned Vanessa Williams and the newly crowned Mormon beau­ ty from Utah. "I saw those pictures in Pen­ thouse and I think Vanessa should have won the Miss Congeniality award," Hope said. "The pageant officials were upset because she wasn't wearing her crown.
