To secure an increase in game, we
believe that the future of many
kinds Of game in Pennsylvania or
any other state depends upon the
enactment and strict enforcement of
drastic laws, because we are In touch
with existing conditions, and know
the need for immediate energetic ac-
ton II our game birds are to be
perpetuated, much less increased.
We realize the many and varied
benefits that come through hunting.
and are doing our best to advance
the interest OF sportsmen we repre-
sent. We hold that hunting is a
national necessity. not simply recrea-
tion or waste OF time. We be-
lieve that the presence OF game In
any state, according to it's quantity
and variety, Is an asset greatly TO
be priced.
Hunter q Good Citizen.
The presence OF game Is an incen-

Furthermore, not only does the
quantity OF game taken constitute a
very considerable portion OF the

the value of the lifework of birds

the farmer and the fruit grower

his crops possible.

Even the farmer, who derives the
