For the first time In many moons
the Parish House Five, of Wood

their home court to a Perth Amboy

same could be accomplished. Allen

winners, and that speaks for itself

the smalley bill now before the
Senate providing for an "open" and

the first four named animals may
not be taken from March Is to

provides for q closed season from

coming a law.
Five years ago this law would
have met with strong disapproval,
but the situation is different now.
Your grandfather-even your father
will relate wonderful tales OF the
plentiful muskrat and the immense
damage done by that pest during a

little animals. The skins In those
