Show OREM- GENEVA TIMES SPORTS AFIELD By Ted Resting Sportsmen should never neg lect their feet; the enjoyment of a camping trip can be ruined by sore feet. Regardless of how you travel, a certain amount of, footwork foot-work is necessary. Any foot trouble will develop when walking walk-ing on uneven terrain and may become serious in a short time. The first rule to observe, according ac-cording to Paul W. H. G, Johnson, John-son, outdoor writer, is to wear sturdy, good-fitting footwear. Light-soled shoes are comfortable comfort-able around the camp, but are useless for travel over the rocky or broken ground encountered in forest travel. A heavy sole will protect your feet from sharp objects and prevent them from tiring. It is true that the Indians wore light moccasins, but the average sportsman's feet are not accustomed to rough ground and will need more protection. pro-tection. Traveling downhill in short boots will give you sore, painful toes very quickly, so be sure that you have a good 1-4 or 3-8 inch clearance between the end of the boot and your toes, as this will prevent your toes from touching the boot uppers and rubbing raw. This is important, because when you travel downhill down-hill the lacing over your instep holds yourfoot back in the boot, but there is enough give in leather leath-er to allow your toes to stub the end of the boot if clearance is insufficient. Keep your toenails cut short and be sure that the toenails don't have any sharp corners to dig into the toes. Your feet will often take you many miles from other transportation. transpor-tation. Be sure that they are kept in shape to bring you back. ' . ihK' MVS" f MM - v; jl l I mm EASTER ! Mptb Stole ; j If any time of year you deserve a new suit, it's Easter time.

Edward Morris, for 27 years an inmate of State-ville State-ville penitentiary, thinks that the comic opera, "The Beggar's Opera," had. a lot to do with his conviction on a murder charge in 1921. Morris, petitioning the U. S. district court for his release on a habeas corpus writ, said the Jury which heard his case viewed a performance of the opera in which most of the action centered cen-tered upon hanging. The 59-year-old prisoner's petition peti-tion asserted "the jurors chuckled chuck-led at the plight of the hangee." Morris contends that when the hero of the opera received a last minute reprieve "all but the jurors" ju-rors" in the audience applauded. Morris charged the jury was unduly Influenced by the opera.

Atkmsit Irreconcilable Russia today, is firmly opposed to almost everything and anything that America suggests. There is one possible pos-sible exception, and that is: aid to Russia. Since Russia's cross-purposes with us are so evident, it is natural to ask why she got that way. Why does she find it convenient, conveni-ent, ever to go out of her way, to oppose America? It is not because we did not help Russia enough during the war. Matter Mat-ter 'Of fact, we helped Russia then to the extent of $11.G81,000,000. This was lend-lease, of wluch we will expect ex-pect to get little or nothing in return. re-turn. What we got from Russia in r.-verse lend-lease, compared with t..e more than $11! billions that went her way, was little more than 1-500 of one billion only $2,213,000. Disguised Purposes Then, when UKRRA decided to accumulate a big fund to help needy nations, America gave 70 per cent of the total. Our part was $2,-279,000,0'JO. $2,-279,000,0'JO. The Russians did not put up anything. Yet Russia has helped U manage UNRRA. Actually, Rus, sia has so manipulated the aid to several European countries that the people there thought they were being be-ing helped by Russia! rather than by America: Now, the Marshall plan calls for additional help for European countries. coun-tries. It proposes that America use from $15 to $22 billions in an. effort to get those countries on a self-sustaining basis. Not only does Russia oppose this aid, but she has inspired the creation of the Communist International. In-ternational. This organization operates oper-ates in nine different countries and is dedicated to complete opposition to anything that resembles American Ameri-can policy in international affairs. Good Neighbors? Just why this continued opposition from Russia? In my opinion, it comes definitely from the fact that Communism is irreconcilable to the American way of life. If it be observed ob-served that Communism did not offer of-fer opposition during the war, it may also be observed that Communist Com-munist leaders temporarily went underground while America was helping Russia stave off disaster. As soon as the war was over, at toon at lend-lease quit flowing to Russia, the Communists began to oppose every move for peaceful stabilization. sta-bilization. They wanted defeated countries to remain defeated. Peaceful Peace-ful and prosperous countries find Communism unattractive, indeed. But Russia has now solidified her opposition to peace. Russia offers long-range opposition to America'! desire for peace, through her International. Inter-national. This is the answer: Communism is antagonistic to almost every basic principle in the American way of life. It is opposed to religion, to the sacredness of marriage, to private pri-vate ownership of property, to freedom free-dom of the individual, to freedom of the press and of speech. The Russians Rus-sians deny that we can be their neighbors. They fear a demonstration demonstra-tion of the superiority of the American Ameri-can way a brand of democracy that does not need to call up an International to protect itself.

Because of careless handling of livestock, especially in shipping ship-ping to market, Utah cattlemen annually lose an estimated $58,-000 $58,-000 profit, according to Mr. Broadbent. An estimated $9,000,-000 $9,000,-000 in profits is lost each year nationally for this reason. The loss comes in dead or crippled crip-pled animals and bruised meat, lie explained. The extension specialist offered offer-ed the following suggestions' for eliminating such losses: Keep livestock in safe, ;m-fortable ;m-fortable surroundings; eliminate sharp corners, loose or protruding protrud-ing boards, nails, and wire from fences, bunks and yards; do not leave machinery standing in leed yards or fields; as far as possible keep animals off wet, slippery concrete and earth; when lipping lip-ping livestock, always use a sturdy stur-dy loading chute. "What kind of a 'prod' do you use in loading?" he asked. "A club or cane or a pitchfork? A, canvas slapper or buggy whip does a better job, with no bruising" bruis-ing" Cattlemen are especially urged by the specialist to dehorn their livestock. "Horns on commercial cattle are the most costly and useless decorations on the farm," he declared. "They are perhaps the greatest single cause of bruising bruis-ing of slaughter cattle. Horned cattle do more fighting and need twice as much bunkroom in feed lots. Take off the horns while the calf is young." When handling cattle for market, livestock men should be careful to not crowd the animals into the runway or chute, thus briusing their sides, hips, or legs, for such bruises greatly reduce the price they bring, he concluded. conclud-ed.

Many Ducks Dying Of Lead Poisoning Shot ticked Up With Gravel Eventually Causes Death. DES MOINES, IOWA Wild ducks are dying by the thousands along the Missouri river bottoms in western Iowa. The deaths are the result of internal lead poisoning for which there is no known antidote. Most of the dead ducks are mallards. mal-lards. The lead poisoning is brought on when healthy ducks in search of food or gravel swallow spent shot which they have picked up from the bottoms of marshes and lakes. A single No. 5 or No. 6 shot, absorbed into the duck's bloodstream, can cause death. The lead in the bloodstream causes a creeping paralysis which causes the wings to droop until the bird is unable to fly. The breast wastes away, the digestive tract finally is affected, and the bird dies. Ammunition manufacturers have been searching for a substitute for lead shot pellets but up to the present pres-ent time no satisfactory substitute has been found. University of Minnesota, which has been seeking a substitute since 1936 as a wildlife conservation measure, reported it had found an alloy of lead with one-half to 1 per cent magnesium which will not poison poi-son ducks and which has been produced pro-duced as drop shot experimentally on a miniature scale in a commercial commer-cial shot tower. Lincoln's Letter Agreeing To Debates Found In Attic CARTEBSVILLE. GA A local business man, rummaging through a pile of old family papers, says he has found what apparently is a letter from Abraham Lincoln agreeing agree-ing to the now famous debates with Stephen A. Douglas. Harry Womelsdorf said the letter, which he has turned over to a firm of lawyers for verification, was written In longhand, signed "A. Lincoln" Lin-coln" and addressed to the "Eon. S. A. Douglas." The letter, Womelsdorf said, was dated "Springfield, July II, 1858," and read: "Dear Sir: "Yours .of yesterday naming places, times and terms for discussions discus-sions between us was received this morning. Although by the terms, as you propose, you take four openings and closes to my three, I accede, and thus close the arrangement. I direct this to you at Hlllsboro; and shall try to have both your letter and this appear in the Journal and Begister of Monday morning." Douglas and Lincoln were opponents oppo-nents for United States senator from Illinois in 1858 and for the Presidential nomination in 1860. As a result of the debates, sentiment in the nation was crystallized against slavery. Douglas won the senatorial seat but lost in the presidential presi-dential race Jtot Qet tarried ?
