Farmer deer permits upheld fnr fnr antlftrtess deer alo Hunters lose court jignt By GORDON CHARLES Record-Eagle Outdoor Editor LANSING A Lansing-based sportsman's group has lost its court case to prevent farmers from shooting deer that cause crop damage. Ingham County Circuit Court has officially rejected the suit by Michigan United Conservation Clubs. MUCC had sought to prevent the Department of Natural Resources from issuing landowner preference antlerless deer permits to farmers suffering from crop damage, even though deer would be taken during the gun season. Objections to the plan were raised by Tom Washington, executive director of MUCC during a meeting of the Natural Resources Commission in Traverse City in June. At that time.

Washington threatened a law suit against the DNR, a i i i plan was "unconstitutional" despite the fact that at least 23 other states have been giving a certain amount of preference to landowners for many years. Judge Jack Warren, on July 29, refused to issue a temporary injunction against the CNR and delayed further consideration until this fall. Meanwhile, the Michigan Farm Bureau came into the case on the side of the DNR and against MUCC. Farm Bureau officials said their members did not like what MUCC was trying to do and many vowed to post their lands against all outside hunting. The majority of good hunting land is in private ownership.

Hunters who tried to find places to hunt in southern Michigan this fall reported extreme difficulty in obtaining written permission from farmers, most of whom had their lands posted.

We have many people to thank." City commission to meet Monday TRAVERSE CITY Several rezoning matters are scheduled for public hearing when the Traverse City Commission meets in regular session Monday niche Mso on the lengthy agenda is consideration of an amendment to city ordinances which would enact penalties for damage or non-return of library materials, and preliminary plat approval for Eastwood Subdivision. The meeting is set for 7:30 at City Hall. Some farmers, reportedly, are planning to put their lands off-bounds only to MUCC members during the Nov. 15-3U firearms deer season or in any of the other hunting seasons underway in Michigan this fall. Acknowledging that their farmer- preference plan for anterless deer permits was "far from perfect," DNR spokesmen promised to revise the system in succeeding years to make it as workable as possible.

This year's plan called for issuing about 10,000 farmer-only permits above the regular number being issued to other hunters. In lieu of a definite court decision earlier, DNR officials have gone ahead with plans to up the a preference system. Farmers owning at least 40 acres of agricultural or horticultural lands were required to apply Bluffs plan study delayed A A i a Township Planning Commission study session to discuss the rezoning of 158 acres of farmland to expand The Bluffs subdivision has been delayed until Nov. 14. The rescheduling will allow all members of the -commission to attend the meeting, members of the planning body said.

The special session, originally set for Monday, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 at the township hall. The commission tabled the request from architect and developer Robert Bell to rezone the large tract after more than 50 persons attended a meeting last week on the proposal. Most who attended opposed the project.

Bell requested rezoning to allow planning for a planned unit development which would expand The Bluffs subdivision from its present 115 acres to a 3 0 0 acres. development could include 150 or more houses and a golf course. Planners tabled the proposal after area farmers complained that the property is suitable for farming. Too much land already has been rezoned from agricultural use to residential on the Peninsula, are farmers argued. Farmers also argued that subdivision residents trespass across farmland, and said that cherry farming operations and subdivisions are not compatible.

for permits for antlerless deer along with all other state deer hunters. If the a name was not a however, he became eligible to apply for a special landowner-preference permit which would authorize him to shoot and keep a deer of either sex on his own land. Such permits for farmers are now being issued at field offices of the DNR on a first-come, first-served basis. Since the system is new, the DNR entered into it on a cautious note with only ten special areas under trial this year. Among them are two areas in Kalkaska and Antrim counties where farmers had suffered severe damage from marauding whitetails that moved in on their crops.

Farmers, as well as non-landowners, are required to buy a -license for deer hunting although Michigan law allows farmers to hunt for samll game on their own lands without a small game license. During the Traverse City meeting of the Natural Resources Commission, however, Washington stated: "I rather feel that they (farmers) should buy licenses" to hunt on their own lands. Landowners and sportsmen who supported DNR the at that time, disagreed- vigorously with Washington on that point.

Advice on deportment. A young lady, if she is to have a reputation of being a lady, must never permit a gentleman to place his arm across the back of her chair, lean against her with familiarity, or call her by her first name in public.

Such actions are a mark of vulgarity and can destroy the title of "Lady." Medical advice of a century ago. The use of strong beverages in the treatment of childhood diseases is dangerous and without merit. Alcohol will not prevent gripes, aid digestion, or cause a bowel movement. It can only impair the normal and natural functions of the body. Had nature intended the child to have a toddy the alcohol would be in the mother's milk..
