It is entirely legal ( to go out with a gun and blaz© away at a deer if you chance to see one. If, by somej accident, the deor is hit, the man behind the gun feels that he is covered with glory Some deer, we ar© told, are already dead awaiting the arrival of the would-be hunters Any way you loo$ at it, deer hunting a glorious pastime. A man who wouldn’t walk a mile at horn© and groans to high heaven when the alarm clock goes off at seven in the morning, is a different man the woods. He will there turn out long be-' fore daybreak and tramp through bush all the morning, run the risk of being shot by other members of the party and think he is having, a whale of a time. In the evening he will { spend the time in an expensive way trying to make two pair boat three of a king. In spite of its drawbacks, hunting is really a good game for those who like it. It gives a man plenty of exercise and helps him to forgot his troubles.

He . isn’t ths John Forsyth of Kitchener, Ont., the shirt manufacturer, but John who used j to farm and lire in Magrath and now resides i at Aetna. John said Frank got hit with an automo- ■ bile in the States and is now in the hosp­ital there. We asked him about Howard and William Forsyth, the writers, and John said th© boys must have inherited that from their grandfather, Walter Ackroyd, as he states he didn’t think it could b© blamed to the Forsyth’s. If it cam® from the Ackroyd for­bears a little of it should have cropped out in Smith or Marion. The late Walter Ackroyd was a student and writer. Mrs. Veto Tollestrup of Picture Butte visited her parents, Mr. & Mrs. G* S. Mc­Clain over th© week-end. The Kairat'hTrading: Co. Ltd Pete and Jake Hoffer, gons of the boss of the Rockport Colony, were in Town Monday warming themselves and in passing the time of day we asked Pete how things were and he | said "Alright," Jake spoke up and said "It’s got to be alright, we make her go." We thought after the boys had left that that was the spirit of the hive. Rockport Colony seems to have the ability to put it over. In talking with a member of one of the colonies gome months age he said Crystal Spring had lost their pep and their disc­ipline. Yet it seems when the other colonies finally convinced them that ti ey should move and gat them on the run, they didn’t let them stop. They all united in getting them about ae far south as possible (to the Mend­enhall Ranch) 20 miles south. With our own Townspeople (Coni’d. on page 6) / Page 6 THE MAGRATH STORE NEffS, Pete and Jake Hoffer - continued, it’s quite different. T!?hen one of the famij units here loose their pep or their ability to go they just squat down on a corner lot and die a natural death. There’s no organ­ization in the Church or State will pick them up and put them out on the Mendenhall Ranch or any other place and rehabilitate them, and our own opinion is that there should be. It seems in the colonies the ministers possess the divine right of kings among the colonies and what they say goes. His flock seems to grow or die according to the prea­cher’s inspiration and vision (where there’s no vision the colonies die) and the same thing seems to sxist elsewhere.

We had fair crops this year but a large percentage of the money went to pay taxes. When we think of it it seems to us that about 95^ of the taxes collected is wasted and thrown away. For instance, the Town Hia.ll in Magrath cost the citizens over $20,000. A $2500 building would have served the people much better. The same thing could be said about our road construction, our irrigation ditches, our cement culverts which had to be torn out and replaced,. Our High Sohool at a cost now running close to .$75,000, a building that waah’t worth a third the money (a shall of a building) end the seme thing could be said of all expend­itures — the tax-payer gets very little value for his money, ------------------------------------1£ —----------—------------------ Mr. W.
