There is no medical
that Is designated as a
“cancer specialist" or a
“cancer surgeon.” All
physicians, when they
examine patients, accumulate
as much information as they
can before coming to a con-
clusion or diagnosis.
Similarly, all surgeons in all

ties operate on cancers
in their own field.

For example, a ‘general
surgeon” will operate on a
cancer of the stomach or the
intestine, He will also remove
all bladders and appendices

My son is &-y Id and for
the past three years has had
selzures similar to those of an
epileptic. It was suggested
that the problem was due to
low blood sugar, so a high
protein diet was prescribed.
Now, they say that an en-
cephalogram study should be
done, but it will be a month
before we can have an ap-
polntment. Do you know a

A deor-car collision often
brings death tc the deer and
-serious damage to the car.

Int the majority of acci-
dents a motor vehicle simply
collides with a deer. The
remaining collisions are more
complex and usually more
serious — the vehicle over-
turns; the vehicle goes on to
hit some fixed object such as
a telephone pole, culvert or
bridge; the deer comes

through the windshield; an-
other vehicle becomes | in-
volved,

More collisions occur on
unlighted roadways after
dark. Few occur at dawn and
dusk, the times when we
tend to think that deer are
most active. The majority of
car-deer strikes occur.when
roads are clear and dry.

Be alert to the posted
deer warning signs.

A reader writes:

Dear Herb: I'm confused
about this steel shot-lead
‘shot business. It isn't a
‘problem where I hunt, but I
‘ean see it coming. What are
the differences in the two
‘kinds?

— Wondering about Steel

Dear Wondering: I'm
with you. This is a highly
confusing subject. And as
you point out, the use of steel
shot instead of lead will
continue to grow until lead is
Simost forgotten,

“~. The first thing to under-
stand is that the steel shot on
the market today is far differ-
ent from that made several
years ago when the first lead
shot ban appeared. They've
improved both the shot and
the shells so there isn't the
terrible barrel damage to
récent model guns that there
‘was at first. Older guns-and
especially some of the fine
‘doubles still can't handle
‘steel.

... To see how steel shot
performs in the field, we
need to take a look at some
technical tests, then trans-
late them into hitting birds.
1, One of the most impor-
tant technical bits is that a
load of steel shot weighing an
ounce and an eighth leaves
-your barrel at a speed well
over 100 feet per second
faster than the speed of a
standard lead load of about
‘the same volume, or an
ounce-and-a-half. (I won't try
to convert these figures to

~ Winning

metric. They were done with
ounces, feet, etc.)

This velocity evens out
at about 40 yards, so within
that range, which is the
range at which most birds
are shot, the stee] has a
higher velocity.

Along with this greater
velocity is our second tech-
nical fact, that the steel has a
tighter pattern. The steel
will put 10 per cent more
pellets in a 30-inch circle at 40
yards than will the lead, and
the tighter pattern continues
on past 40 yards.

From the practical view-
point this means that with
steel you have to change your
habits of how far to lead
birds. Since the steel is

travelling faster, your old |

habits would tend to send
your shot string in front of a
bird in ranges under ‘40
yards. But since the speed of
the steel drops off compared
to lead beyond 40 yards, your
old habits would make your
shot tend to fall behind the
bird,

The tighter pattern
means either you have to
shoot better or shift your
choke to more wide open
from what you've used.

One final bit of practical
advice is that hunters get
better results with steel if
they go toa larger size. Thus,
if you liked to shoot size 6 in
lead, go to size 4 in steel.
These are some of the
practical applications. I hope
they help.

Let’s hear It out there today for all the subs who are
filling In for your paperboy while he or she is on vacation,
— those brave little bands of stand-ins roaming around
cul-de-sacs with an Ilegible list in one hand, driving a
bicycle with the other, and balancing 65 papers on the
handlebars. a

It’s time to pay tribute to the patron saint of
Newspaper subs everywhere . . . Margaret Howell,

‘oledo, O. Margaret was your basic, full-time mother

until her 14-year-old son sustained a neck,injury during
the aftermath of the 1978 Ohio bilzzard and was unable
to deliver on his paper route. i
“Not to.worry. Her son had a ‘‘system’”’ whereby the
route was color-coded. : :
es: Red: Skip the first house on the corner partially
facing the third hole of the golf course.’ ,
were Black: Deposit paper. tp milk, bo:
house. .
Yellow: Vacation one week.

Green: Vacation two weeks, etc.

Super Mom Howell then donned two newspaper
bags, eacl ig half ton, and from her
porch: Into the snow. She would never have been heard
from again had it not been for her young daughter. After
two hours they were frozen. They also had three papers
jeft over. ‘

: en Mrs. Forsham phoned to inquire, ‘Don't |
get a paper tonight?’’ Margaret checked her color-coded
list and informed her she was not to return from her
vacation until next Monday. If she wanted a paper, she'd
better tunnel on down to the house with the first dormer
on the second-story window. :

Beaten and depressed, our heroine did the only
thing left to do . . . put a neck brace on her son and
shoved him out into the snow to re-deliver the route. The
first customer had the audacity to say,:‘‘You poor boy.
I'm 80 glad you’re back because the service has been
lousy since you’ve been gone."’ ‘ :
