size did they begin to hunt other

caves in China afford more than
enough evidence that some tribes

A -- WHITETCIP GRASS. A wetland grass, grow-

of four feet. Often in _very dense stands along
marsh edges. Not rated high as a duck food, but
valuable as nesting cover, and shelter for broods.
- PHRAGMITES: CANE REED, FLAGREED. Found
in marshes across the continent. Grows to 15'
high, stem smooth, leaves narrow, tapering to a
point. In the fall the reeds turn golden yellow.

but provides cover and nesting habitat.
lively late in man's evolutionary
span, that is; only since man de-
veloped 'Weapons to protect and
feed himself. ,
There is evidence that Paleo-
lithic men, fully developed
humans of the later stages of the
Ice Age, were skilled hunters
whose ;weapons, while simple,
were effective. Not only have
quantities of bison; horse and
manmoth bones been found in
Paleolithic caves of France and
Spain, but the paintings on, the
cave walls show that hunters had
a complete knowledge of the ani-.
.mals'' habits.
Hunting as the basic food quest
has persisted into recent times -
among some primitive peoples.
Today., however, 'professional
hunting is only a minor occupa-
tion for livelihood because of the
great reduction ' in wildlife and
the replacement of natural
sources by, fur -breeding farms.
Hunting for sport is a more com-
mon pursuit.
Generally speaking, a -rifle is
-used for big game and a shotgun
is used for small game. North
Amerrea's big -game hunting
starts, and comes close to ending
with deer. Deer herds forage the
length and breadth of the conti-
nent, -but the rest of North
America's big game is mostly
confined to the Rocky Mountain
states and . Canada. Small game
includes rabbits, pheasant,
grouse, quail, doves, ducks and
geese, and turkey.
The conservation and suffi-
ciency of game animals, as well
as the future of hunting in North
America, lies in the hands of
dedicated wildlife biologists and
game protectorsin the United
States and Canada, plus the
1,000,000 members of the Nation, -
al Rifle Association.
Today, though Americans no
longer hunt for food the way they
used to, the association's aims
are largely the same as they were
at its founding. Among many
other public -Spirited goals, its
purpose is to educate citizens in
the safe and efficient use of small
arms for pleasure and protection.
In its embyonie days, NRA trig-
gered markSmanship training
and young shooters' training and
it originated the natiopwide
Hunter Safety Training program.
Metnbers of the National Rifle
Association believe in the consti-
tutional right of citizens to keep
and use firearms for legitimate
purposes. Will hunting for sport
eventually become delempha-
sized just as hunting for food has
been? According to the NRA, not
by a long shot.
