-F Sunday. Oct. 13. '5 DETROIT FREE PRESS Time for Pheasants (Lots of 'Em) Monday WOODS AND WATERS By Jack Van Coevering Copper Mine Failing? I Squirrels, Rabbits, Coons, Too Few Exception To 'Plenty' Reports BY JACK VAN COEVERING John Ringneck will get a pounding Monday. At 10 a.

m. some 500,000 hunters will begin pulling triggers. The limit will be two cock birds a day. Besides pheasant shooters. rabbit and squirrel hunters also will open their season at 10 Wn.

mi 1,11,11.1. .11, I II ,11 III, Aw A'" 1 4-4 -v a. which is the opening hour for all hunters in the Lower Peninsula. On this day only, even waterfowlers must observe this later hour. GUNNERS not subject to the 10 a.

m. opening are coon hunters, because coons are classified as "fur bearers" and not as "game animals." Their season begins Sunday at midnight. Presumably, coon hunters will finish the night's hunt by 6 a. m. Monday, the usual starting hour for game animals and birds, so that they will not be mistaken for hunters He cited the new Celotex mill at L'Anse as an example of new industries.

"Cellulose production is a fast growing and almost insatiable industry, yet the UP has made little attempt to manage its vast forest resourees for intensive sustained production," he said. He conceded that the UP's economy is distressed, but argued that "the precise reason for the depression is that 'the UP depended too much on mining. Another mine is a slender thread on which to hang hopes for tht future." Dr. Belcher made concrete suggestions: 1 "Instead of a mining road which it is claimed will aid forest fire protection, we need smoke jumpers. They are used economically and successfully in the West.

He said smoke, jumpers should be seriously considered for other large areas for forest fire suppression. 2 There should be new access roads to the Porcupines, both for motorists who are interested only in sightseeing within easy walking distance of oars, and for hiWer-campers. 3 There should be additional trails, historical markers and picnic areas, especially in the Union River area, to emphasize Union Mine, Halliwell and Union Spring abandoned mine workings, the second largest in the state. 4 Complete the south boundary road outside the virgin timber, to encourage visitation to both ends of the park. 5 Work zealously for a financing program for the Parks and Recreation Division which would contribute more toward the rapid growth of Upper Michigan's greatest renewable resource, the tourist.

James Rouman, manager for the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, said the 300 member-clubs "believe and hope the commission will hold to its policy which it adopted several years ago to keep the parks free from commercial invasion." MEMBERS OF THE Conservation Commission are weighing their decisions carefully. They have heard the pleas of the UP's business interests. They also know that if they allow industry to invade this dedicated park, they will set a precedent that may make every state park vulnerable to commercial exploitation. It appears now that the commission will vote on the issue in December. At the meeting, commission secretary Cliff Ketcham reported that since last month he heard from 290 persons opposed and 80 persons favoring the mine; also from 19 organizations opposed and 12 orgaiiations in favor of the mine.

While the vote of the commissioners will not be determined by counting communications, a letter to the commission in Lansing one way the interested citizen can register his opinion. IT IS TOO EARLY to say that public opinion in the western end of the Upper Peninsula is swinging away from favoring a copper mine in the Porcupine Mountains State Park. But there are straws in the wind. One gas station owner said: "I first thought a mine would be a good thing. It would take a long time before it comes and in the meantime, my business is getting bet- ter from tourists.

I would rather they play it safe and leave the park alone." Like a rift in the clouds, every little while one runs across a UP person who is beginning to recoil from the idea of invading the last unspoiled area. "The more I think about it, I get scared about what we would be doing," is the way one person put it. While hunting sharptails in Dickinson County, I read-in the Iron mountain News that the Iron Mountain-Kings ford Sportsmen's Club voted against any leasing in any State Park. Union labor, especially mine workers, are not enthusiastic about the mine idea. And one person who is still in the forefront of the mine -advocates confided to me: "I can't say it openly, but I don't believe there will ever be a mine in the Porcupines." AGAINST THIS background, I attended the October meeting of the State Conservation Commission at White Pine and the hearing on the mine vs.

park controversy. Arguments were well presented from both sides. The pro-mine people repeated their claims that the Upper Peninsula is in dire economic straits, that a copper mine in the Porcupines is essential to their progress. Also that such a mine will in no way injure the park and that after all, only two per cent of the park area is involved. Gerald L.

Johnson, manager of the industrial division of the UP Development Bureau, brought petitions signed by 5,000 people in 11 counties of the Upper and four counties of the Lower Peninsula. Gerald Warrener, of Ontonagon, Father Louis Coppo, of Ramsey; Russell Glenn of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and Prof. Lynn H. Halverson, of Northern Michigan College, Marquette, all spoke on the economic aspects of the U. P.

and for the mine. PROPONENTS OF THE mine wore buttons reading "I want to develop the park." Members of the Natural Areas Council gladly wore the same buttons, because, as they said: "We want to develop the park, too but not with a mine!" The Council was the only group to come up with new and constructive ideas concerning park development. Speaking for the Council, Dr. Robert Belcher, head of the natural science department, East Michigan College in Ypsilanti, categorically denied that a copper mine offers the only source of new employment. trying to jump the gun on the; 10 a.

m. shooting hour. The outlook foe pheasants still is favorable. Since the Free Press report last Sunday, there are indications that in some areas the increase in ringnecks is even greater than we mentioned. But there are areas where there was no increase.

Hunters may find islands of poor hunting in areas of topnotch hunting and vice versa.

Joe Caldwell, a ball-faking houdini who played only two minutes last year, and bullet Bob Anderson passed and ran Army's top-ranked football team to a 35-6 victory over Virginia today at Michie Stadium. Hampered by fumbles in the opening half, the Cadets recovered their poise behind their 160 -pound quarterback Caldwell and turned what started out as a close game into a rout. The game was so fiercely played that two of Army's stars, halfback captain Pete Dawkins, of Royal Oak, and fullback Harry Walters, were sidelined with leg injuries. The extent of the ailments was not known immediately.

One hunter said squirrels are "down a little" in Midland County. Another said rabbits are appearing "much less" in the north half of Montcalm County. There are very few rabbits in the west half of Huron County, and squirrels are at a low ebb in Lenawee County. In Lapeer County, one observer said the number of squirrels is declining. The "over-all picture, however is favorable, and hnnters should enjoy a good season.
