FUR TRAPPING IS PROSPEROUS

Is Half Million Dollar BuSiuness For Hooslers Each Year .

Trapping fur bearing aniinals Is a half million dollar business in Indiana with thousands of men and boys adding to their income each winter through the salé of opossum, raccoon, skunk, mink, rauskrat'and fox hides. : o The -fgfa,pp'ing season opeuned Taesday, November 16, and will end on January 15, givihg the trappers two months of activity. ~While advance reports indicate a general increase in the supply of the fur Yearing animals —particularly _faccog)rifft!}e unusually warm Wéafheb during October and the early part of Novemnker has not brought the pelts to prime condition.

An extendeg period of cold weather will be necessary to being the hides into their best condition and to bring the trapper the best prices for his catch. Early season catches rarely bring top prices as ths fur is usually of poor ‘quality, the bost prices being reaalized on pelts taken during the later part of the winter. : Reports from’ the- 19.3’.'-33“ trapping season ‘show that 49,582 skunk hides, 170,039 opossum hides, 433,118 musk rat hides, 32,206 raccoon hides 19.234 mink hidés, and 7,624 fox hides werce purchased from trappers by the Luyers licensed to deal in furs. This wds an increase in the number of pelts taken by trappers but the $511,471 receiveq by the trappers reflected ‘the lower prices Wk h gove-ned th: - market last year. ;

Winter Don’'s I'or Motorists

. With: the arrival of cold weather there is always a tremendous increase ‘in th number of accident reports from garages. These accidents may be placed in three classes: ~ First—ln cold weather employes close . the doors of the garage in which they are working. While engines are running there is a very serious hazzard in the form of deadly monoxide g'a*s, which takes a tremendous tell of lives in both private and public garages each winter, Statistics show .that three persons die daily from monoxide gas which is oderless and Invisible. Motors just being started are particular'y prone to the produ’c'tion of thig deadiy fatal gas. 3

~ Second—Motors start hard in cold weather. Often times a great deal of cranking becomes ncessary resuiting in thousands of severe injurics to sprained and broken wrists and arms. Third —Freeze-ups also cause accidents. Thoughtless motorists will carelessly remove the cap of a hot radiator and the boiling liquid spurts in their face or on their hands seriously burning bbtﬁ and causing in many instances dangerous injuries to the eyes. Many i'njuriea are also caused by looking "into the top of a radiator with the aid of a lighted match. Aleohol vaporizes very easily and its vapor is highly explosive.

GET OPINIONS OF MOTORISTS To Form Basis of State Highway CommisSiow’s. 1939 ' Program ’ The opinions of 100,000 Indiana laws will be sought to form the basis of the state highway commission’s 1929 legislative program, it was announced Friday night at Monticello. e Speaking at dedication ceremonies for a new highway garage, Commission Chairman T. A. Dicus revealed that questionnaires will be sent to most Indiana motorists to obtain their views on what traffic reghlations should be enacted by the next general assembly. . Among the questions motorists will be asked to answer are: :

¢ Do you favor adoption of a definite maximum speed limit on the state’s highways? What should that Ilimit be?

Should the state have compulsory inspection of motor vehicles operated on the state’s highways? Should pedestrians be required by state law to obey stop and go signals as automobiles must? :

Are you willing to undergo physical examination tests to determine whether you are fit to drive a car? What has influenced you to think more seriously about highway safety —personal experience with the police personal accident experience, accidents to relatives or friends, safety education? : ; :
