Center Announces Opening Dates For Upland Game Bird '69 Season Following the annual meet- ing of the NWC Natural Re- source Management Boa r d last month, approval has been received from COMNWC for three wee ken d s of public hun tin g for upland game birds on the nor t h range. Dates for the hunting week- ends are: October 25 and 26; November 1 and 2; and No- vember 8 and 9. Chukar, vaJJey and mountain quail, cottontail and jackrabbits may be tak- en. All reltrictionl of the Celi- forni. Filh .nd G.me Code .pply to hunting on the Cen- ter. Legal bag limits .nd other regul.tionl will ... en- forced by personnel of the O.partment of Fish .nd G.me. Nearly 260 square miles of the north range is in the hunting area. New boundary signs will be posted and lim- its of hunting areas strictly enforced by NWC Security Department and 'the DFG. Hunters are reminded that ;Renegade (Little Petroglyph) Canyon is outside the hunt- ing area. Two overnight campsites will be available for hunters. Junction Ranch and Burcham Springs will both be 0 pen for overnighters. Check point Center will be the Darwin Gate, seven miles south of the town of Darwin. Open All Night New this year will be the opening of the gate on Fri- day at 8 p.m. and remaining to permit hunters to make camp and be ready for an early start on opening day. According to biologists of DFG who recently completed brood counts on the ran g e the bird population is good to excellent. Tally this year was nearly n i n e juveniles per adult bird. But, add the game e x per t s hunters will work to get their birds. Plentiful food and abundant water throughout the summer ~ave kept the birds widely scattered over the range. Re- cent thunderstorms have ad- ded more water to seeps and pot holes so the wily cbukar will have an advantage over scatter gunners this season. Seventh Ye.r The October 25 opener will mark the seventh consecutive year of upland game hunting at NWC. Last year a total of 3,721 hunters took the field during the open weekends to bag 4,588 birds. This figures out about 1.23 birds per hunt- er. Over the past six years more than 10,500 hunter days have been spent on the Naval Wea- pons Center .during the open hunts. Average take amount- ed to a little over one bird per hunter. Limits for 1961 hunting sea- son are: Chukar, 6 per day, 6 in possession; all species of quail, 10 per day, 10 in pos- session. Hunting on the Naval Wea- pons Center at China La k e has become a highlight of upland game season for many California sportsmen. Sin c e July the Center has receiv- ed many letters and inquir- ies about the hunting season.

Prior to departing the lo- cal area, the Stones will pick up a new car from Doug Butler, 0 w n e r of Des e r t Motors, which they will use during the weekend holiday. They will be met in Bakers- field by representatives of the CofC, and Stone will be interviewed on KERO-TV. While in that city the coup- le will be hosted by the Royal Palms Motor Hotel, lo- cated at 200 Union Avenue, where they will receive lodg- ing and meals.

Young JIm is looking forward to school, ac- cording to his father. . Mrs. Stone is interested in ceramics and art work, a hob- by she pursues as often as she can. Avid Filhermen The Stones reported aboard NWC in February 1968, and luckily for Stone, as he is an avid fisherman. He has visit- ed most of the upper lakes since his arrival. When asked if he had ex- perienced any unusual duty, Stone replied, "Being a cook on an LST has to stand out as one of my most unusual duty assignments. The ships are smaJJ and the galley suf- fers from manpower short- age. Also the size is a lia- bility when it comes to cook- ing in a bad storm," he com· mented. "Trying to hold on to the bulkhead with one hand, and a pot with the oth- er in a badly pitching sea, is quite an experience," he explained.

Center Announces Opening Dates For Upland Game Bird '69 Season Following the annual meet- ing of the NWC Natural Re- source Management Boa r d last month, approval has been received from COMNWC for three wee ken d s of public hun tin g for upland game birds on the nor t h range. Dates for the hunting week- ends are: October 25 and 26; November 1 and 2; and No- vember 8 and 9. Chukar, vaJJey and mountain quail, cottontail and jackrabbits may be tak- en.

Nearly 260 square miles of the north range is in the hunting area. New boundary signs will be posted and lim- its of hunting areas strictly enforced by NWC Security Department and 'the DFG. Hunters are reminded that ;Renegade (Little Petroglyph) Canyon is outside the hunt- ing area. Two overnight campsites will be available for hunters. Junction Ranch and Burcham Springs will both be 0 pen for overnighters. Check point Center will be the Darwin Gate, seven miles south of the town of Darwin. Open All Night New this year will be the opening of the gate on Fri- day at 8 p.m. and remaining to permit hunters to make camp and be ready for an early start on opening day. According to biologists of DFG who recently completed brood counts on the ran g e the bird population is good to excellent. Tally this year was nearly n i n e juveniles per adult bird. But, add the game e x per t s hunters will work to get their birds. Plentiful food and abundant water throughout the summer ~ave kept the birds widely scattered over the range. Re- cent thunderstorms have ad- ded more water to seeps and pot holes so the wily cbukar will have an advantage over scatter gunners this season. Seventh Ye.r The October 25 opener will mark the seventh consecutive year of upland game hunting at NWC. Last year a total of 3,721 hunters took the field during the open weekends to bag 4,588 birds. This figures out about 1.23 birds per hunt- er. Over the past six years more than 10,500 hunter days have been spent on the Naval Wea- pons Center .during the open hunts. Average take amount- ed to a little over one bird per hunter. Limits for 1961 hunting sea- son are: Chukar, 6 per day, 6 in possession; all species of quail, 10 per day, 10 in pos- session. Hunting on the Naval Wea- pons Center at China La k e has become a highlight of upland game season for many California sportsmen. Sin c e July the Center has receiv- ed many letters and inquir- ies about the hunting season.

Avid Filhermen The Stones reported aboard NWC in February 1968, and luckily for Stone, as he is an avid fisherman. He has visit- ed most of the upper lakes since his arrival. When asked if he had ex- perienced any unusual duty, Stone replied, "Being a cook on an LST has to stand out as one of my most unusual duty assignments. The ships are smaJJ and the galley suf- fers from manpower short- age. Also the size is a lia- bility when it comes to cook- ing in a bad storm," he com· mented. "Trying to hold on to the bulkhead with one hand, and a pot with the oth- er in a badly pitching sea, is quite an experience," he explained. "I've seen it so bad that I've cooked scrambled eg g s in one of the big pots, 'cause (Continued on p... 3) A PINCH OF SALT-CSI Clifford H.
