The sportsmen responsible for working me up to a high pitch used the usual technique familiar to all followers of rod and reel and gun. K. G. Wurz, 1455 Hohmecroft Road, Dave Fahner, Fahner's ‘Regal Store and Conservation Officer Richard Pattmann hinted strongly there wasn't anything to match crow-hunting. Fine, let's go. Crows do a great deal of harm to the farmer and have few friends. They're such nasty critters that the state has set up a crow control program. Hunting clubs all over thé state are encouraged They're awarded dice a month,

Cash Prizes Awarded for Top Bag

MR. FAHNER, president of the South Side Turners Fishing and Hunting Club, has an idea he would like to enlarge his club's treasury with all the cash prizes offered. The club turming in

Visibility was a good six inches. When lightning flashed we were blinded. Rain began, trickling down the back of my neck. We crossed a wire fence, Someone slipped and fell into a creek behind me. Officer Pattmann was! leading. I was second. “Keep it quiet,” hissed the! leader. Thorns punctured our «clothing and a muffled oath was to be heard at intervals: It was blacker than the ace of spades In the woods.

The| § rain increased to a downpour. Three taps of a! g nail on Officer Pattmann’s barrel started the fireworks. We must have punctured a cloud. Crows fell all around us on the first blast. The rain came dewn in sheets and buckets, My gun jammed on the third shot. The other men unloaded their automatics with five shots each.

Finally Decided It Was Too Wet

EVERYONE was blowing and puffing and running around picking up crows. Officer Pattmann decided It was too wet for more shooting. Mr. Fahner was all for going to another wood. I had enough of rain, darkness, crows and mud. Every stitch of clothing was soaked. Officer Pattmann said no one ever caught pneumonia from a Feb‘ruary rain. Achoo. Our count was 182 crows, Mr, Wurz fell into the creek on the way back te the car, ‘Worst night we've ever had,” said Mr. Fahner. “Tomorrow should be a good day,” he added. Shivering in the car, remaining as motionless as possible so the wet clothes wouldn't add new! chills, I was so happy the hunt was over I could, have cried. No kidding.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10—I got to gabbing with Mr. Broderick Crawford the other day, Mr. Crawford being in town to receive the Screen Critic's Award for the best acting job of the year, and I gaped anew at the way the picture people run their business. Mr. Crawford played the facsimile of the late Huey P. Long in Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prizer, “All the King's Men.” Brod is a big, lumbering, pleasant guy with a meaty face and warped nose, and is quite a reasonable replica,

under make-up, of the late Kingfish. Although he.

. is a natural for the part, I believe he was last

choice for it.

‘Born Yesterday’; Today a Star

THIS COMPLETES a kind of funny cycle between two men—Mr, Crawford and Paul Douglas, who have conspired unwittingly to make each other famous, with poor Mr. Bendix somewhere in the middle. We start with a play called “Born Yesterday,” which shot Mr." Douglas into fame so fast it scorched his pants. A former radio announcer and somewhat of a character, 40'sh and flat broke,

cause Brod Crawford turned it down. Brod had another commitment, which went exactly nowhere. “Born” ran endlessly, and established Mr, Douglas as a top-ranking lightheavy in the acting business. He has since invested a succession of hit movies with his own brand of surly sweetness and light, and is possibly the most prized

“unseen, the rest of us undamaged taxpayers could save a pretty penny. As it is, Congress is flooded with bills for the “Felief of people daniaged by thelr bummiblifig Uncle Samuel. I have picked out a few typical ones to show you how the money flows out to pay for Uncle's foot-in-mouth mistakes: Mrs. Alleen L. Sherwood of Port Washington, N. Y., was in the cellar.of her home at 10:30 a. m. on May 15, 1944, washing out some, lingerie. The window crashed. Blood spurted from her shoulder. A bullet pinged into the washtub. ‘Turned out that some dope at the Roslyn small-arms target range of the Army shot the wrong way..

Shows When She Wears Gown

THE DOCTOR charged Mrs, Sherwood $85 for treating her wounds. A new window glass cost her $2.50. The fact that she suffered pain, mental anguish, and a permanent scar which showed when she wore an evening gown, she figurged was worth another $1000. The Army said in a formal report that it was to blame, all right, but that the scar didn’t dis‘figure her $1000 worth. It suggested that $500 was about right for the blemish on her shoulder. <The gallant members of the House of Representatives took a more generous view. They awarded Mrs. Sherwood the full $1087.50. Sometimes it takés a long time for the paper work to get done and that explains why the citizens of Bethany, Mo., only now are getting the $25,000 for the buildings the Army burned down at their fair grounds 19 years ago.
