Duck, Geese Season
Opens Tomorrow
At noon Friday, October 19,
thousands of Nebraska sports
men— oldtimers and freckle
noses alike—will don their hunt
ing gear in pursuit of ducks and
geese as the state’s 50-day water
lowl season gets under way.
The outlook f o r waterfowl
hunting apears to be encouraging
as reports throughout the breed
ing areas in Nebraska and on
north indicate a good production
in 1951. Blue-winged teal, Ipin
tails, mallards, shovellers, gad
walls and canvasbacks have al
ready been observed.
In many areas of Nebraska, a
greater number of nesting water
fowl have been reported seen
during 1951 than in many years
due to the abundance of water.
Most Nebraskans will spend the
early part of the season harvest
ing local ducks. Hunting success,
however, both in the early and
later parts of the season, will
hinge greatly upon weather con
ditions.
In the event that abnormal
weather should hit the slate,
>h» smaller ducks, such as the
blue winged teal, would make
quick exits from the state.
Shooting hours on opening day
will begin at 12 o’clock noon. Aft
er opening day, shooting hours
will begin one-half hour before
sunrise. Closing time, both on
opening day and all subsequent
days of the hunting season, will
be one hour before sunset.
Hunters are permitted a bag
and possession limit of 5 and 10
ducks respectively. The bag limit
may include one wood duck as
may the possession limit. Mer
gansers, often referred to as fish
ducks, may be taken up to 25
per day.
Both the bag and possession
limit* on geese are five. These
limits may include either 2 Can*
ada geese (including Hutchins’s
or cackling geese) or 2 white
fronted, or one of each.
Bag and possession limit on
coot is 10.
Hunkers are reminded that
their guns must be plugged to
a 3-shell capacity. A loaded
gun. incidentally, is construed
to b® a gun with shells in either
the chamber or the magazine
or both.
All migratory waterfowl hunt
ers over 16 years of age must pur
chase a 1951 duck stamp in addi
tion to their regular hunting per
mit.

Peterson Won’t
Run for Congress
—
Only a national emergency
that would require his re-entry
into the air forces or an unex
pected physical condition will
prevent Go. Val Peterson from
serving out his term as govern
or, he told his Tuesday press
conference.
“I do not feel that I should va
cate the office of governor to
which the people of this state
have elected me,” the governor
explained.
Thus statement definitely end
ed the “draft Peterson” move
ment of Republican party offi
cials as a candidate for the nom
ination for the Third congres-:
sional seat of tne late Rep. Karl
Stefan.
"I am deeply appreciative of
the confidence indicated in me by
members of the Third congres
sional district and over the state,”
he said in a statement, “It would
be a great privilege to serve the
people of m> district in the house
of representatives and to attempt
to fill the shoes of my long-time
personal and political friend, the
late Karl Stefan.”
The contest for a Republican
candidate to the Third district
congressional post became a j
“wide open” affair Tuesday with
the firm withdrawal of Peterson
from consideration.
Merle Haynes, of South Sioux i
City, unsuccessful candidate for
state superintendent of public
instruction last year, jumped into ■
the contest.
Third district GOP Chairman
Ted S. Hook, of Wayne, eliminat
but put the finger of choice on:
ed himself from consideration
State ben. Earl Lee, of 1* re
mont.
State Sen. Dwight Burney, of
Hartington.
District Judge Lyle Jackson, of
Neligh.
Burney said he “probably
would” accept the nomination if
he was offered it but “I’m rather
expecting Senator’s Lee’s name
will be presented.”
He said he didn't want to op
pose Lee and said if Lee's name
is presented to the district par
ty convention, he is certain his
own name will not be present- :
ed.
Lee himself was more non
committal.
“Right now my inclination is
more ‘no’ than ‘yes,’ ’’ Lee said.
“I am more against making the
race.”
Haynes said many northeast
Nebraskans have approached
him about his candidacy and he
• All actively work from now un
til convention time to get it.
Haynes took the view that
Governor Peterson rejected the
congressional nomination because
he “already had committed
himself on the senatorial race”
against Sen. Hugh Butler in the
spring primary.
“A good many people think
he can win that race,” said
Haynes. “I think he had a good
chance myself.”
Asked if he himself would ac
cept nomination, Hook stated:
"No. I think not. I've got my
affairs and business to look
after. I just lost my wife which
is very difficult."
“If Governor Peterson con
tinues and runs for the senate,
there is bound to be some hard
feelings. It’s always that way in
political parties. But the Repub
lican party in Nebraska is strong
enough so that just a contest be
tween 2 of our good men is not
going to wreck the party at all.
Whichever is nominated, we will
take him and elect him,” Hook
said.
State Republican Chairman
Dave Martip had “no comment”
on Peterson’s announcement.
Don Map es, Norfolk Repub
lican leader, said: “I think the
governor did the right thing so
he can finish out his term.”
