Thursday, Sept. 4, at Memorial Field, Coach Rusty Hofacket announced this week. The team vill be divided and the affair will be a regular game. Proceeds will be used to help pay for the players insurance. Admission is adults 40 cents, students 23 cents.

Ve hope for a large crowd to come out and look the ildcats over before the regular season starts, Coach Hofacket KIM JW'n nii Season Starts On Sept. 1 Dove season in New Mexico this year opens Labor Day i Monday, Sept 1. and continues through Oct 20 The bag limit is 10 birds per day, and 20 in ones possession i after the first day of the sea-on. Shooting hours are from sunrise to sunset, and the birds may only be taken with a shotgun of not larger than 10-gauge and holding no more than three shells in the magazine and chamber combined. This year the white-wing dove, a close relative oi the mourning dove, also may be included in the bag limit.

That is, the 10 daily and 20 possession limit applies to both birds. White-wings may be found in the extreme southern and southwestern (that's us) sections of New Mexico. The shooting is best through September, say the Game Department field men. But, any way they look at it, the concensus is for a record year everywhere in New Mexico. According to Lav on Lee, director of game management for the department, the heavy population this year can be attributed to the heavy rains of last winter.

The dove weed and other food for the birds did very well this spring and provided plenty ot lood tor nesting doves, he said. Stock up on shells now, and don't forget that 1958 hunting license!

One of the finest things in this delightful country we live in out here are the nights of late August holding a cool hint of fall which precedes winters that seldom ever get here.

The Gal on North Silver has decided she will absolutely never set sail on the sea of matrimony with any man until he has made a raft of money. And that evening last week when the Farm Bureau had their annual summer party was wonderful. We got a chair and placed it where we could look down across the lawn and watch the grown-ups line up for their eats and the kids romping and rolling on the lawn. That Rio Mimbres Country Club is one of the finest things that ever happened to Deming. We know communities much bigger and wealthier than ours which would give their eyeteeth for something like it.

It i t-vi it uioiL Luhu county families do not avail themselves of the pleasureable facilities it affords the club rooms, the swimming and wading pools, the spacious well sodded lawns, the barbecue pits, the golf course and the putting range. Much credit is due the men and women who constantly devote their time and efforts to keeping it in operation. We never attend a Farm Bureau get-together that we do not remind ourself that here in Luna County is the highest class farm and ranch element we have resided among, and we have known many from here to the Canadian border. Deming business people should remember that, too, and show their appreciation of their Country Cumins on farm tour day this coming Sept. 4.

Farming in this area is not a one-gallus, double shovel, cotton hoeing proposition. It is a big business the biggest business in Luna County. And the men who own and run it are among our most prosperous and well-to-do people. Their equipment is expensive and expansive, their homes are among the most modern, their automobiles are the finest and they give their children the very best advantages, educational and otherwise. We were aware of all 1 he fine things this country affords long before we ever came here three years ago.

That is why we came and that is why we are going to stay trom now on as long as w'e are interested in earthly things. At the Lion's Club Tuesday night of last week, we heard a man talk which was so good that it created as much or more comment than we have ever heard after such a program. Because of that, we are reproducing it in full next issue and every employer and every employee in this county should read it carefully and considerately. It is wonderfully inspiring. The Old Pirooter hasn't been doing a good reporting job for the Lions lately.

We missed recording the enlightening pro-giam Dan Antes and Jack Ghol-vm of Humble Oil Retining company presented explaining the gravity surveys they made in this area as a forerunner to actual drilling operations now in progress southwest of this city. Incidentally, but unforgeta-ble, was the appearance of Mr. Antes lovely daughter, Carolyn, Lions Club entry in the recent Miss Deming contest The club pieseiited her with a lovely compact bearing the jeweled Lions emblem Then at a later date, new Lion president Fd Kretek gave a vivid icport of his tup to the Chicago Lions Intel national convention.
