Quite large crowd gathered around
the community Christmas tree Mon
day evening despite the severe cold
The tree looked pretty in it's decora-
tons and colored lights and the sing
ing by the school children under the
direction of Miss Eileen Harrington
was thoroughly enjoyed. The com
munity singing. however, failed to
materialiZe, due no doubt to the alb
sence of a leader. And the music by
the band was conspicuous in ITS alb
sence. The many hundreds of child
rem present seemed to enjoy the occa-
sion Immensely and after the eXer-
cises were presented with candy. TO
Miss Nellie Mcconnell and her as
sistants is due great deal of the
credit for the success of Hurley's first

The skating rink at the ball park is
still in the making and while it was
hoped to have it ready for use this
week such is not the case. It's no
small task to make a good skating
rink and despite the excellent wealth
er for such an undertaking the men
and boys on the job have found it
slow and tedious. Once established,
however, it will be a comparatively
easy task to keep it in condition.

SUMMER DUCK NEST
DESPOILERS hENACED
RumorThat Smyrnian Holds
Captive II DuckljngS Of
Protected Species
HEAR REPORT
OF INVESTIGATION
Special to THE EVENING JoURilAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA. Del. May 24-It is rumor-
ed mere that State and Federal officials
interested in the conservation Of Wild
bird life are quietly investigating a
rumor that a man who lives in this
town has despoiled the nest Of a pair
of summer ducks that had built at the
head of Lake Como. placed the eggs
under a hen and now has the young
summer ducks in captivity. What le-
gal proceedings will be taken in the
State and Federal courts if the rumor
be verified is not known.
The story current is that twenty-one
eggs were taken from the nest at the
head of the lake and that the hen
Matched at least seventeen of them.
The plan Of the nest despoiler, it is
said. is to raise the young birds in cap
tivity and then to use them as decoys
in his duck shooting operations The
fact that they are summer birds and
would perish if used for decoy work in
Ithe fall and winter. seemingly has not
been taken into account by him
The summer duck is the most beau
tiful Of all American wild ducks II
has been getting so scarce in recent
years that the Federal Government
passed a law establishing an abso-
lutely closed season for it. extending
over a period of years so it might
have an opportunity to multiply. Sc
we're penalties are prescribed fol
violation of the law.
Under that protection several iOcks
Of the birds have made their hom'
in the headwaters Of Lake Como and
! the marshes and bitches tributary ia
I Smyrna river. In fact. everything
has given promise Of an unusually
| large increase through propagation
this year. II is felt, however, that il
the nests are being despoled, the
prime object of the Federal Govern
ment will be defeated The under
standing is that the Federal investi-
I gators. stimulated by the Audubon
/ Society and other organizations inter
ested in the conservation of wild life
is determined that, by relentless
prosecution. examples shall be made
of certain men in this section who
are despoling nests OF protected bird
and also permitting hunting dogs tC
go into the fields and kill young quai
and rabbits II is said. however
that the first steps taken will b'
against despoilers OF summer duel
nests.
