Outdoors in Kansas By Clelland Cole Members of the Great Bend chapter of Ducks Unlimited put their money where their affections and they proved their loyalty to the cause of helping wild waterfowl recently by raising more than $11,000 for DU. They did it at their annual Merchants had donated all manner of sporting goods and allied items. Feature event of the evening, as it is as such DU fund raising events, was a special, custom made shotgun. Dr. Robert Moore of Hoisington bought the gun, serial number 109, for $3,075.

The gun is a special Ducks Unlimited Super model, made by Winchester. Only 950 of the guns will be made, and they will all be used for DU fund raising events. Dr. Moore's is the 109th of the 950. Dr Moore has done this before, he believes in hunting, he loves it, he wants to see it preserved for future generations, he knows that the future welfare of wildlife will continue to be planned and financed by hunter sportsmen.

Larry Marker of Great Bend was chairman of this year's events. George Donley of KVGB was master of ceremonies and Pat Keenan also of Great Bend, was the auctioneer. Sportsmen everywhere compliment the Great Bend chapter of DU for its continuing help to the cause of waterfowl other such events being planned in this area? Your outdated waterfowl stamps can help Ducks Unlimited. Send them to this column if you care to donate ithem. DU has a market for tnem ana tne proceeds go to help the cause of waterfowl.

I have known for years that TTunting pants were made to be jworn and not washed. Sometimes a small tag or card will be attached to new pants, "generally advising against Avashing them. But such instructions are generally discarded and on occasion a vell intentioned but erring Mielpmate will, in her hunting husband's absence, toss them the washer and ruin the jants! What hunter wants to be afield in a pair of Ireshly washed pants after he tramped, wallowed, crawled, walked through grass and brush to "season" the old ones which gain character with toe, even as they gain stains, blood patches, a bit of grease, 'mud, and have served to wipe the need arises So, as I checked over a pair of hunting pants this week, for some reason 1 cannot explain, I looked casually at the inside. Something on a hip pocket caught my eye. There it was In plain, easy to read type, stamped on the inside of a hip I read: "DO NOT LAUNDER OR DRY CLEAN!" That's what it says.

These instructions aren't going Have a Happy Birthday! to get lost. I'm going to wear Special thanks this week goes them. All I need to do to con to the following for their vince any doubter is to show the donations: Mrs.

The follows in large measure the findings of persons who bob white quail. Rogers is doing his study at West Texas State University. I am sure that if he would include a study of 'flight speed, he would find that today's quail fly far faster than birds of a few years ago I just KNOW that birds didn't whizz up and away like bullets at such velocity several years ago. Of course in days were only 5280 feet in a mile and I haven't measured lately, but I am sure that at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, somehow a mile gets Spuiled out quite a bit further. It's one of the oddities that defies science.

A mile can Sometimes be (and take) twice long. From Reno, Rice, Pratt, and Barton counties 'come favorable reports on the ttflRCHIVI outlook for quail. Evidently the dry weather which prevailed over much of Kansas the past season did no harm to quail families, for several farmers and sportsmen have reported hat would seem to be a good stock of birds. Several late reported. Birds still have time to mature before season opens.

The living room has always been declared' off limits from the very beginning for them. Since we've had the colder weather; they have been in the house more than usual. They are very notional and seem to think they can curl up in the chairs and sofa for their naps in that room. Every member of the family has dethroned and put them out but every time we turn our backs, they sneak back in there for another snooze. I'm trying to figure a way to cure them of this habit.

Please don't suggest closing doors there are none leading into other rooms from this room. Herbie has finally made up with the head the house.
