He seeks to reimburse the association (or what it gave him during seven years of darkness caused by cataracts in eyes. He was known as Hank Oana and they called him Prince because he was from Hawaii. He was a star of baseball. Hank played with a a i that attracted crowds.

He started in 1930 with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific a League. He played a half-dozen games with Philadelphia of the National League in 1934 as an outfielder.

As manager of a riding center, she directs instruction for up to 200 pupiLs a week, even dunng the winter. She says her interest in teaching others to ride developed because she couldn't afford such lessons when she was a girl.

"I rode when I was a youngster on my a fann. but just couldn't afford horseback riding to any extent." she said "I wanted to attract the interest of children who are in the same position I once was in She said rates are kept as low as possible so more people can afford to learn to ride properly. Miss Yerkes, tanned by years of outdoor work, said her job is more than just year-round work 12 hours a day most of the time."

Deer kill for 1964 hits 91134 A I Pennsylvania deer hunters had another banner year in 196-1 according to official figures released by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

A total reported kill of 91.134 deer included 49.231 legal bucks and 41.903 antlerless deer. The buck kill was only 23 short of the 1957 all-time high of 49.254. Deer harvest figures are based entirely upon big game report cards received by the game commission following the season. Repeated Game Commission studies reveal a only 70 per cent of Ihe successful hunters report their kills as required by law. Therefore, a more realistic total i figure would be around 130.000 white- tails killed during 1964.

Glenn L. Bowers, deputy executive director of the a commission, said a the "buck kill was alKiut what we had predicted." He s.iid (hat "the increased i of lxth antlered and anllerless deer will help to alleviate excessive i pressure in some critical areas." Bowers expressed particular satisfaction over the reported harvest of 41.903 antlerless deer during Ihe two-day season. Dec 1 14-15. First place for Shetland MT.
