Maine Fishing Licenses

The Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game is receiving many in
quiries as to whom the Maine fishing
license laws apply, the approach Of
the fishing season always bringing a
flood of such questions.
1t is explained by the department
that there are but two classes of fish
ermen who are required to procure
the $2.15 license: First, all non-resi-
dents of the State, IA years Of age
and over; second, all unnaturalized,
foreign born residents who have not
resided in Maine for at least two
years continuously previous to the
time they desire to fish and who are
not tax payers upon real estate in
this State. These licenses may be
procured by application to the office
of the commissioner at the State
House or to any of his agents, the
licenses being on sale by many town
clerks and wardens in the fishing re-
gions.
Resident citizens also unnatural
lied, foreign born residents who have
resided in Maine for at least two
years previous to the time they de-
sire to fish and who are tax payers
upon real estate in Maine, are not
required to procure fishing licenses,
although they come under the pro-
visions of the hunters registration
certificate, fee 25 cents. of their town
clerk before they can hunt any wild
bird or wild animal or have same or
firearms in their possession.
The same upnaturaliZed, foreign
born residents who are required to
procure the $2.15 fishing license come
under the provisions of the SIS alien
resident hunting licenses law-must
equip themselves with this hunting
license before they can hunt any wild
bird or animal or carry firearms.

A MOVIE STUNT WITH
HUMAN INTEREST SIDE

1T is said" that if you can pin
State Auditor Roy l.. Wardwell right
down to the particular point" as
Glen Murphy says, he Will admit
that he has qualified as movie star.
1t happened something thusly:
He was passing through the State
House rotunda and noted a sorry
looking. disconsolate lad standing in
the center of the big room, 'doin'
ruthin." Two ladies were at the
east entrance and he asked the boy
! if they were trying to get in. noting
that the boy did not answer, but
nodded his head. The ladies were
admitted and the auditor returned
to his office. the boy remaining in
his standing position. Mr.. Ward
well a few minutes later. again
passed into the rotunda and found
the boy on a seat, head one one side,
sound asleep! Realizing then that
the lad was an unusual kind of State
House visitor. he awakened and
questioned him, soon learning from
the reluctant replies that the boy
had in three days time walked from
Lewiston to Augusta and was await
ing an opportunity to make himself
known to an official of the Charities
and Corrections, with whom he was
acquainted.
Mr.. Wardwell took the lad to the
Office of that board, where he was
recognized and taken Immediately to
square meal"-which provd break
fast. dinner and supper and then
some more to him, for he had been
| over "A hours without food. The lad
had been formerly in charge of the
State Board Of Charities and Correc-
tions but had returned to his former
home, where after some time he de-
cided that the State Board was the
best parent for him and so came back
TO its care and protection.
Then canc the Movie stunt, in
which the State auditor qualified as
an expert. the boy also sharing the
donors. An Edgar Jones Production
