 Or. Edwin R. Lewis, state game commissioner, has liberated 15O quail he received from hatcheries in Penn sy1vanla- The birds, which are espe- cially fine specimens. were taken charge of by the deputy upon their arrival in Westerly and then liberated in different sections of the town, number being given their freedom near Watch Hill. while other sections such as the Shore road, the Woody Hill district. Dunns Corners, Brad ford, and Potter Hill were visited dur ing the day. Only one bird of the flock died in transit, a most remarkable rec ord for the number that were sent and the distance they came from. This makes $50 quail distributed in the To- cal woods during the year, the last shipment reaching Westerly about four or five weeks ago.
 With the organizing of the older npen1bers Of the Westerly Boy Scouts into different patrols, the local order is now ready for out of door work that is soon to be given them and will no doubt prove more popular than meeting indoors as has been the case since the movement was established here in town few weeks ago.
