I thoroughly enjoyed an eve-jEiing last week at the home of two friends. It was a particularly Sieasant time and stands out in m y memory. W e talked about people and local events. No one nud ill of any of those mentioned.

The lady of the house said, 'TEiave you ever noticed that when yoa say something good of a per-•do it goes no further but if you let out some scandsil it flows lik< water downhiU." I agreed.

W e did not find it necessary to pjtey cards for something to keep us interested. I had a stimulating evening and will drop in again to visit the couple who can spend an entire evening talking about neighbors and speak ill of no one.

Rochester, N. Y. January 1, 1947

r thoroughly enjoy readin about my home town and /look forward^ to every issue. Here in Rochester we are going into the eighth Week without a paper due to the strike on the Rochester Gannett papers. The Catskill Mt News is the only paper we have had here in the househ(dd. (My mother has sent it to me every week.) I even have my mother-in-law reading and enjoying yoiur

iper. My l^usband and brother--law enjoy reading about the

exploits of the hunters in the Catskills, they being hunters ttiemselves. W e all enjoy the Mountain Dew, and cdso would like to see it compiled into one volume.! Sincerely,

Mrs. Robert Wise

Halcottville, N. Y. January 4, 1947

In reference to your News story last week concerning the three dogs and the doe dfeer, I should lik to say a few words in defense of the dogs.

If the New York State Fox-hunters Association had a publi-cation in this section, the story might have read, "Doe deer raises hob with local fox hounds."

Your story gave the impression that the deer suffered a broken hind leg as a result »f the en-Counter* That is not so, for my brother who was hunting with me: saw the deer before the dogs gave chase and said that it apparently had had a hind foot nearly shot off. This fact can also be sub-stantiated by Mr. Stahl and Mr. Jaquish. And oii Christmas day it was my ill fortune to run across the same deer. Both times it ran

short distance to a stream of water. Had it been in good physi-cal condition, the fox hounds would have foUbwed a few minutes and th^n left it.

When Game Protector Burgin discussed these incidents with me, he was considerate of the fact that the individual who licenses his dogs and buys his hunting license for the privilege of in-dulging in the sport of fox hunting does have a side to the story.

Thank you, Virgil D. Meade :
