Asks 3-Day Hunting M. C. Howard, supervisor' of George Washington National Forest, at the annual spring meeting of Waynesboro Game and Fish Protective Association last night at Hotel General Wayne, suggested the opening of Augusta County for deer hunting during a 3-day period this fall. Farmers, especially in the Big Levels area, complain that deer eat their crops, and opening of the area for hunting would probably lessen the number of deer, Mr. Howard stated.

Deer are tame, having been brought into the forest area from public parks in Pennsylvania several years ago, and many of them are old. Association went on record as favoring the opening of the deer season in Augusta County in the fall of 1944. CONT. SHOWS BEG. AT nbc John B.

Mrs. George Powell US v-r GOOD HERE AT EASTER Shoppers are buying liberally. they are buying intelligently, and are handling their money and their credit with a conservatism that cannot help but reflect sound conditions in the Staunton and Augusta trading area; I'hat was the general, overall opinion of the city's merchants as expressed yesterday afternoon. What is most gratifying is that Easter buying and trading" in general reveals no inflationary symptoms, no evidence of easy-come-easy-go, ho signs other than taking normal insurance against the future. And creditis sounder4han it has been for some time.

Seasonal Easter buying is running ahead of that last year, and 1943 was rated as an excellent year. Some- shops have found tne demana considerably above expectations, and others have found this demand considerably beyond the capacity of their stocks to satisfy. Unaffected by Taxes The so-called luxury taxes have in no way affected demand. "People are really shopping," said one experienced merchant. "They really are doing a business-like job for themselves.

At the spring open ings they looked over the field and then began buying carefully. They are buying for quality and durability, they are using their money more wisely. Before pur chase they not infrequently are as inquisitive and persistent as a pro essional buyer." The Easter buying season proper has "been shorter than usual, since the date falls much earlier than last year. "Our patronage has been far bet ter than expected," was the com ment of the manager of a dress spe cialty shop. "This week has been a constant rush of trade.

And the buyers are demanding better quality, they are more discriminating, and less given to overemphasized styles and novelty fabrics." Expects Top Season "When the week closes," com' mented another merchant with a broad and extended background, "I feel sure' it will climax the best Easter season in my experience here. The first quarter and the Easter buying has been sane and liberal." Soft pastel colors grays and browns been prevailing and popular shades, although Ulac had some popularity. There was less demand for extreme or freakish models, and an evident conserva tism. One store with wide lines and a large turnover in the popular and lower-price field, has had the best year of its service in Staunton. "We simply have not been aoie to get the merchandise," said one of the staff.

"We could have sold perhaps 20 percent more had we been able to get the goods. As it was. the first quarter and the Eas ter demand has been much above normal. And, moreover, the buying has been discriminating and with an eye to possible future contin gencies. STUDENTS COLLECTED $348 FOR WAK FUND By raising a total of $348.58, Stuarts Draft High School went far over its quota in the recent War Fund drive for the benefit of the Red Cross.

This raised, according to E. E. Cox, principal, primari ly because each room made a supreme effort to lead all other rooms and because of the fine community spirit shown during the campaign. The school's War ESort-CiuD is now behind a waste paper drive. Over 600 pounds have already been collected in a week.

The school has bought or sold so far this session over $23,000 in stamps and U. S. War Bonds.
