Cheer THIRD Liberty LOAN
President Dan 0. Head Urges Undivid-
ed Support Of Nation by Kenosha s
Wealth Twenty Six New Mem
bers Take Places at Supper.

The Kenosha Chamber Of Commerce
had new baptism Of enthusiasm on
Tuesday evening when ninety members
of the local organization met at the
first of a series of monthly sltppers an6
meetings in the Assembly Hall of the
Chamber Of Commerce building and by
discussion and action started the work
for the advancement of various civic
improvements in the near future
President Dan O. Head, who presided
at the dinner and meeting, fred the
opening shot of the evening when he
urged every member of the Chamber
of Commerce to invest literally in
United States bonds of the third
issue as a protection to our freedom
and prosperity.
Attorney A. L. Drury, in ar inter.
esting address, showed how the Cham
Der of Commerce had been an indis
pensible asset to Kenosha in the first
year of the war and declared that il
would be little short of unpatriotic fol
Kenosha business fmen to allow its
splendid work to lag because Of lack
Of funds or enthusiasm. He declared
that Kenosha S splendid war record
stood as tribute to the efficient work
of the Chamber of Commerce which il
every crisis had stood ready to sacrifice
its own interests for the good Of the
nation and to forget its own activities
in order to plunge itself into the work
for Uncle Sam and the boys "ovel
there That this work is being ap-
preciated was shown by the fact that
twenty-four new members were ushered
into the Chamber Of Commerce as g
result of the recent membership cam
paign drive and the large percentage
Of the members who were present al
the Thursday meeting.
Chairman Howard Hahn of the City
Planning Committee, made an inter
esting report showing how this work
was progressing, in Kenosha and that
the committee was ready as soon as
conditions would permit it to submit
plan for making Kenosha a more
beautiful city. The question of a 10
cation for the city market was raised
by III. L. Bullamore, of the City Market
Committee, and plans were laid tc
make the market even more of factor
this year than last.
In the report on industrial conditions
Ferd. Dunnebacke showed that Keno
sha was enjoying healthful prosperity
and that the committee were in {
position to attract several new indus
tries to this city.
An interesting round table discus
sion brought forth valuable sugges
| tions as to how improvements might
be made i'll the street car and jitney
service Of the city which suggestions
will be presented to the company, wht
has declared itself ready to meet rea
sonable demands, and to the jitney
drivers union. Plans were also dis
cussed for the erection of public
| comfort station in Kenosha somewher,
| in the down town district.

Let's all Of us agree to quit talking
about Wisconsin being !" disloyal. !"
We know that Wisconsin has a great

thinks-we know At any rate let S
not have our loyalty traficked in for

The Delaware bay and It's tributaries
between Greenwich and the Maurice
river, have for a long time been noted
for their striped bass fishing. Owing
to the difficulty Of reaching these spots
they have not been so popular or well
known as would be the case II easy OF
access. But with the advent OF the
motorboat this difficulty has ceased to
be, and one can now get to these wat
ers within a few hours, without any
inconvenience.
Each report received seems 70 be bet
ter regarding fishing at Fortesque, New,
Old and Elbow Ledge, Ship John Light,
Greenwich and Arnold's Point. and
these fishing grounds are becoming
more famous and we'll understood by
the anglers Of Delaware.
The Delaware bay proper Is a para
disc OF bluefsh. weakflsh. spotted or
sea trout, drum FISH and striped or
rock bass. There are quite a few rivers
and innumeFable creeks running in
land from both sides OF the bay that
are said by the few that have thus far
flshed in them TO contain a large num-
ber Of FISH, including fresh water flsh,
white and yellow perch. white catfish
and pickerel

places where the angler can receive
accommodations over night and be

baits used are the cedar and metal

FOR DRAFT DODGERS

Baseball draft dodgers who have OBJ
tanned lucrative positions in shipyards
and with teams In the Steel League un-
der promises by the shipyard scouts
that their new employers would get
them draft immunity are likely to get
a rude awakening. Il is known that
Provost Marshal CTOwder has a new
draft regulation under consideration,
the workings Of which viii place in
the National Army reglstrants who now
are exempt from military service solely
because OF their connection with a
shipyard. and whose place can be filled
easily by a man OF deferred classiflca-
tion.
There has been a suspicion that a
number Of men without previous occu-
pational experiences making their ser
vices specially valuable have obtained
employment with the Emergency Fleet
Corporation for the specific purpose
Of evadlng military service. Where
such cases are discovered they Will
promptly be taken up with the Emer-
gency Shipping Board or the Navy De-
pariment so that the practise will be
destroyed.

ably be transferred from their baseball
