Sportsmen must have new aims: At the annual meeting of the Hood River County Game Protective Association, held on Wednesday of last week with a good attendance, State Game Warden Averill made some remarks of more than ordinary interest to the sportsmen of this state. He said: “Too long have we regarded our hunting and fishing resources as a mine. We have acted on the theory that there was just so much fame and so many fish, and if we did not rush out and get our share somebody else would get ahead of us ... Our hunting and fishing resources should be regarded as a farm; the better care given to it, the longer will it continue to produce and the more it will produce. A proper observance of the game laws by all of the people all of the time will insure better hunting and fishing in Oregon 50 or 100 years hence than we enjoy today.

Red Cross local workers win praise. Service men return thanks to women. The faithful work of the many women who sew and knit for the Red Cross goes on, for although the fighting has ended there are still many men who lie in the army and navy hospitals, and who need and appreciate the help the Red Cross is giving them. Recently there came a letter to the Hood River chapter praising the women for the wash cloths they had made ... More knitters are also needed, for there are yet many service men stationed in out of the way places in the world who need the comfort of warm sweaters and caps.

That $18,500 all-risk policy is only a fond memory for commissioners, who learned that the cost of an $8 million policy — half the recommended coverage for the bridge — will cost the port $115,000 this year.
