And yet, this weekAll end, as something close to 10,000 Utahns and hunters take to the field and start blazing away with cartridges at the venison ahoof, the chances are that from two to twenty probably around seven or eight will be shot dead. Wed be strongly in favor of staying home and, whats more, urging legislation prohibiting the shooting of deer, if it werent for the fact that the same or a different eight persons out of the same ten thousand would be killed in automobile accidents, or by falling off kitchen chairs, before Christmas anyway. Youd be safer out hunting during deer season than you would be sitting in your favorite chair at home; many times safer than you are in your automobile, rolling along the highway . . . if it werent for the criminally negligent and careless and happy and hunter who greatly upsets the normal odds. Occasionally you hear of someone being killed by a stray bullet, w'hile out hunting. A stray, bullet from a rifle must have traveled at least a mile. Theres no excuse for anyone shooting you from closer range than that, and if someone does youre entitled to object vigorously. On the circumference of a circle with radius there are 33,189 spaces in which you could be standing, and youll only be standing in one of them. (Okay, so youre fat andthre are only half as many!) That 'means the 'odd.! against a 'single strdy ' bullet finding you from a distance of one mile would be 33,189 to one if all bullets were fired level-withe landscape: However, there are a lot if eleVUtHns at which the bullet might be fired, from straight up to straight down. "The circumference of that vertical at one mile is 4 feet, of yhich you can occupy only six; so divide 16,594 by six and you have 2,765 which, multiplied by your 33,189 spaces at each elevation, gives you odds of 91,767,585 to one against being hit by any single stray bullet. If there are a dozen hunters a mile from you, and each of them fires seven or eight times, you still have odds of a million to one against being hit bv that STRAY bullet. But the bullets that kill the citizens, ordinarily, arent stray. Theyre fired by the fools who take brush shots, and define brush shot as a shot as something that moves in the brush. Anyone who shoots at anything he cant clearly see, and know to be a buck, should be sentenced to 99 years at hard labor, and then an extra month including deer season out of each year thereafter for 99 more years. People who handle guns carelessly, who think their guns arent loaded, or are on safety, who consider it good sport to point a gun at a person it isnt loaded! at anytime, who do target shooting at rocks and trees, just for the fun of it, in hills or woods full of hunters . . . such people are the ones who give the "stray bullet and hunting in general a bad reputation. Heres hoping you encounter none of them, not even within ten miles, during your deer triji this year.

Thats okay I get laughs more often when Im serious than when Im trying to be funny. Time and Life magazines, last week and the week before, report on a new gadget for killing mosquitos that smacks faintly of Rube Goldberg or Dr. Zeuss. The gadget is reported seriously, however, in the Science section of Time. It seems that male mosquitos are called by female mosquitoes by a taint but distinctive humming. Its their version of the call of the wild, and they answer the basic instinct. A doctor by the name of Morton 0. Kahn of Cornell universitys medical college set up delicate tape recording equipment and captured the mating call of the female Anopheles Albimanus. Incidentally, that "Anopheles is a familiar word to us Box Hitlerites. It is the mosquito that carries malaria, and it is the that along boogy-ma- n (or with welts on our ankles and the backs of our hands and necks scared us into voting for a mosquito abatement district for the boogy-mosquit- o) long-handle- five-year-o- ld Our English walnut crop, out in the Engone tree was about lish walnut grove twice as good this year as it ever has been before.

Wendell Corey, aotor. The studios aie crowded with publishers, exhibitors, financial executives, their friends and their secretaries friends. Corey, who was working in Paramount's Accused with Loietta winYoung, last years Oscar ner, saw many more than his share. We never did a scene without them, Corey said. And I love them. They are an audience in themselves. After a few months of movie making, an actor becomes far moie interested in visitors than they possibly can be in him. They are his most intimate audience. Famous Since When Corey finishes a scene he always looks inquiringly at the informal little gallery behind the camera. From their faces, he claims, he can tell how the last scene will go over in the home town moviehouse.

If you can remember back a couple of years before Karl Joseph-son- s mosquito control boys declared war on the mosquito population, youll recall we1 used to have a lot more than we have now. We still have Anopheles, though, and we still have men who are afflicted with latent malaria that recurs now and again. (Back to Dr. Kahn, he teamed up the tape g recording of the female Anopheless with an amplifier and a simple little electrified screen and electrocuted 40,000 male Anopheles mosquitoes, just to show that it could be done. Theres a catch. It isnt known how often a male mosquito can mate. If only once, like some insects, then destroying the male Anopheles would result in infertile Anopheles eggs and reasonably quick extinction of the clan. Its something to watch, all right. Lloyd Bust can build a tape recorder for a couple hundred dollars, and any electrician in town could rig up the charged screen for the price of a few storage batteries, condensers and a little wire. It isnt absurd to guess that a portable Anopheles death-trawill be on the market in a year or two for $500 or less perhaps much less. cleared In Dr. Kahns test, the death-tra- p the swamp of male mosquitos for two miles e around.
