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. Patrol Officers Exchange Jobs Lt. Harry Brt has taken charge of petroling in the Norfolk safe ty patrol district, succeeding Lt. Willard Teachman, who is taking over Brt’s job in the educational field, it was announced Tuesday afternoon by Capt. E. L. Shottler, of Fremont, while in Norfolk. Lieutenant Brt, who has been with the patrol since it started 14 years ago, has for the past 6 years been engaged in education al work. In that time, he has ad dressed more than 200,000 per sons, appeared on more than 1, •00 radio programs, 4 television programs, conducted many safe ty clinics in school, taught first aid classes and conducted class es at the patrol’s Ashland camp. “It’s hard for me to leave the fine friends I have made in the educational work, especially the young people,” Brt commented. I feel I have been unjustly crit icized by some of the adults who are trying to_ ty committees of the society or with the state headquarters in Omaha.

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.” Omaha Again Has Top Run Omaha Monday ran away with top market laurels.
