ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual val ues. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Never has there lived a man who accomplished all he wanted to do ... or went everywhere he meant to go. Time and Distance like prison walls surround every life, ultimately frustrating man’s hopes and dreams. We are told that science is finding ways to multi ply time, to divide distance. A gadget can save you an hour. A jet will cut your journey in half. But should the day come when man can live to 150, and a round-trip to the moon will be called “commuting” — ive’ll still be living within the same ivalls ... time .... distance ... In fact, the only hopes of mankind which ever reach beyond these walls are our religious beliefs. In our churches we come to know the Eternal, the Everywhere. Faith dissolves frustration. Life is more than a quest for speed . . quest of space. Come to Church — and see! a con- Copyright 1963, Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.

Teer, in a new booklet labeled “Texas Deer Herd Man agement,” tackles some touchy problems regarding the Lone Star State’s building deer industry. The A&M wildlife management professor, at the outset, clearly identifies some of the varied opin ions among landowners, hunters and conservationists—and nature lovers. Consider these comments: “My deer are starving to death. What do I feed them?” “DEER ARE eating my water melons! They’ve already finished my peas! Blasted critters! A man can’t make a living . . .” “My deer are inbred. Should I import some big South Texas bucks to improve the size and antlers of my native deer?” “I don’t know why the state al lows deer to be killed. They are the most graceful, beautiful and stately animals in God’s whole universe...” In his gay-colored but dead-seri ous Texas Game and Fish Commis sion publication, Teer uses 70 pages to outline deer problems and sug gest better management practices. Dozens of illustrations by Charles Shaw of the Commission give the book a lighter touch. Regarding “starving deer,” Teer warns that artificial feeding only prolongs and aggravates the prob lem. “Such a feeding program treats only the symptoms, not the disease. The symptoms are poor deer; the disease, poor range. “THE SOLUTION is proper balance between range carrying capacity and numbers of animals,” Teer writes. Deer management in Texas, ac cording to Teer, is “still in the horse-and-buggy days simply be cause we have kept it there. This is true in many other states.” Deer, on the other hand, are in creasing in numbers, despite the fact that more generally have starved annually than were legally taken by buck hunters. Parasites also take a heavy toll, but the number of deer today is the great est since the white man came to Texas. Teer mentioned eradication of screwworms with mixed feelings. The program means an immediate boost to the deer population, but the range forage continues to de crease, meaning less food for more deer. What do deer eat? DEER ARE principally browsing ruminants, Teer states. That is, they chew cuds. The bulk of their diet includes stems, leaves, buds and bark of woody plants such as trees and brush. Weeds, grass, seeds and fruits are also important food items. Not everything that is green is deer food, Teer points ont. Only a small fraction of the total plant life on the range may be deer food. How long do deer live ? Some live 20 years, although a buck that escapes hunters years is considered “old.” Asl as the total herd production isi cerned, deer over 7% years as common members of the About 95 per cent never reatij years. “Removing surplus deerisa part of deer herd manage!! Teer states, “and commons tells us that harvesting boths is good sound and pracfe some ranges.” SELLING ONLY bulls, ia>j billies from herds of domestii: stock is impractical manage: he adds. Unless both sexes of! | stock were marketed, our pasj soon would become so ovi with females that the range not produce enough forage toi them. •err., Motorists Warm* About New Sped AUSTIN—The director of the Texas Department of Public Safe ty warned motorists Sunday “not to take the new, higher speed lim its too literally” when they go into affect August 23. Col. Homer Garrison Jr. remind ed that “there are a multitude of circumstances and situations under which even the old limits were too fast for sagety.” WITH MORE than two-thirds of the Texas highway system un der a 70-mile-per-hour daytime maximun speed for passenger cars and 65 miles per hour at night, we wish to appeal to all Texans to exercise keen judgment and drive reasonably and prudently re gardless of what the signs say. The law prohibits driving a vehicle too fast for existing conditions. “The Department of Public Safe ty believes that the objective of speed legislation is to contribute to the efficient movement of traf fic on the highways. We feel the new law will help to accomplish- A metn ■ micro pi jep up 1 lea dowi ley con; linutes. Recked. (This is 'ain Mo |nct near 111 take fcvard : ■PAST 1 physical e lea shor!
