to organize
S u n r if . Comrhun Ications
Inc., a conwwuty group trying
to organize albtener-sponsored
radio station, will hold its first
annual subscribers meeting
Sunday at 5 p.m., in the
United Ministries in Higher
Education ( U M H E )
Commonplace chapel.
The group plans to start a
listener-sponsored,
subscriber-funded, non-profit
radio station, according to
member Bill Lock. Present
plans call for a 10-watt FM
radio station, with a sound
studio for live recording.
Sunday's meeting will
include a summary of work
already accomplished, he said.
It will be followed by a
meeting for potential
subscribers. Subscrilxtrs will
then elect a board of directors
responsible for finances,
programming and general
station policy, Lock said
We used to go down to the river and spray the landscape
with bullets in my home town. We would walk to the
woods along the South Platte with our .22s, which are small
rifles, but real.
We would kill every moving animal except cows or
sheep. Pets were not necessarily off limits.
Adults, I should add, did not hunt that way. They shot
only what was in season and seldom went over their limit.
Boys, however, ignored such restrictions.

you hove my word
I was a tender-hearted kid, so I only went hunting once.
Like lots of rural youngsters, however, I did lots of target
shooting and was good with a rifle. We always went to
shooting galleries in the city, because we could awe the
less-experienced urbanites by hitting all the targets.
The time I went hunting, I went with my good friend
Martin, and we used up three boxes of cartridges.
It was a cool, overcast day, and we walked along with
our guns loaded, talking and laughing.

Martin saw a rabbit. He flipped the automatic to his
shoulder and fired twenty times in about ten secohds. The
bullets followed the rabbit across the ground and into the
underbrush, where they swarmed for a while like frustrated
tees.
I closed the bolt on my rifle as we came to the river. A
duck was swimming in the slow current, puttering around
silently. Ducks take off horizontally, running across the
water with their feet splashing farther and farther apart
I pulled the safety catch and drew a bead as the bird left
the water with its wings spread. I squeezed the trigger, and
the duck floated downstream, a twitching heap of angular
wings and splayed feathers. I shot it twice more and started
to feel bad right away.
Martin spotted a squirrel on the way back. His gunfire
raced up the tree behind the scrambling animal, and the
bullets sounded like a woodpecker as they hit the trunk.
The writhing squirrel dropped from the upper branches,
and Martin riddled its death-ground.
I wasn't the only one who hated to hunt, but most of
the guys I knew did it fairly often. Somehow, when they
saw any wild animal, their first impulse was to kill it
I remember one guy who would always swerve his car
for any srna'1 animal on the road. He tried to run over it,
but he always hit the curb.
