PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
Formed to Make Relations Between
Sportsmen and Landowners More
Cordial.

Preliminary steps have been taken
to form Fishing and Hunting Pro-
tective association in Danielson and
vicinity.
officers pro tenn. have been selected
as follows. they to continue the work
until permanent organization can
be formed:
President, Harry Cook: vice presI-
ter T. Geer; treasurer. Walter L.
Chase: executive committee, Paul
Bussey, John Ahearn. Gurdon E. Wi
they.
Included among the purposes of the
new organization is a desire to make
relations between sportsmen and the
farmers and other landowners more
cordial.
The new association will propose to
the farmers that in return for the
privilege of hunting or fishing on post
ed land that it's members will act as
wardens, promptly reporting any act
having to do with disregard of farm
erS' property rights, such as pulling
down walls or fences. leaving barways
open, ETC., etc; carelessness with
matche; causing likelihood of forest
fires, and any other act unworthy of
true sportsman.
A second object of the association
is to arouse organized interest in the
matter of stocking brooks and lakes
hereaboutS with fish and in aiding,
through state departments. in fncreas-
Ing the number of wild game birds in
woods Of the town.
1t is recognized that many farm
ers have had grievous right to protest
over some of the wrongs that have
been done by reckless and disregardful
hunters who have roamed over their
property, doing damage that at times
has proved very extensive. It is the
hope of the promoters of the new as
ISOLATION that it can prove to the far
mers it's value in helping eradicate the
abuses OF which some hunters have
been guilty. If this cooperation be-
tween members of the association,
acting as woods and streams police
it might be said, and farmers can be
brought about mutual benefits will, ac-
crue.
The next meeting of the new asso-
citation is 20 be held in Pellets hall
next Tuesday evening and is to be
open to all Sportsmen who are anxious
to help in attaining the objects here
outlined.
Laruso's Body Not Found.
Without avail. the search for the
body of Niply Laruso. who lost his
life at Williamsville last Sunday when
he was swept over the big dam across
the Quinebaug river while he was in
a rowboat. has continued through the
week.
Searching parties have worked
around the base of the dam and in all
sections of the river to a considerable
point down stream. There are many
theories as to where the body lodged,
but searching in accordance with these
theories has failed to result in locat-
ing the body. 1t is claimed that the
body will soon come to the surface
II it is not lodged under a rock or
some other object capable of holding
it down for an indefinite period. Ru-
mors that the drowned man has $500
in his clothing and that a liberal re-
ward has been offered for the finding
of the body were circulated Thursday,
but the truth of these assertions could
not be established.
