The newspaper also talks about skillful hunting. About good organization of hunting in the region:
“…If the contractual campaign and the selection of hunting personnel were carried out well, then nothing has been done in terms of the technically competent organization of the fishery itself. The test shooting, which determines the ripeness of the animal’s skin, was not carried out in a timely manner…November is the decisive month of fur harvesting in the fourth quarter. This big work cannot be allowed to fail. It is necessary to take into account and correct all the shortcomings, make extensive use of and make up for the remaining time for the development of the fishery.”

The newspaper “Birobidzhan Star” on November 22, 1946, in the heading “Across our region” wrote about the work of regional libraries, about the assistance of the Khinganolovo plant to construction workers, about the regional fruit and berry nursery, about new pharmacies, and about the fact that workers received additional payment for high performance.
“The number of libraries in the Obluchensky district is growing every day. Now there are 32 of them. Their book collections are constantly increasing.
The collective farm hut-reading room in the village of Pompeevka, Stalinsky district, became the center of cultural and educational work among collective farmers and collective farm women. Lectures and reports are often given here on various topics in the international and domestic life of our country.
The regional children's library unites 688 young readers. Recently, a significant number of vocational school students have joined the number of young readers. A children's reading room began operating at the library. Loud readings of new books are often held.
The Khinganolovo plant provides significant assistance to construction workers, prospectors and engineering workers in setting up farms and individual construction. The plant issued loans for this purpose totaling 810 thousand rubles.
The regional fruit and berry nursery is preparing planting material for sale to collective farms developing collective farm horticulture. 7 thousand wild pears were brought from the nurseries of the Khabarovsk Territory. Two thousand wild apple trees were grown on our own farm. For further cultivation of wild fruit trees, the nursery purchased apple, plum and pear seeds.”
