ties year ago there were 10S associa-
tons located in seventy-six counties.

knowledge of the duties of this division
and how executed" says the report,

cation and the warden service. The
cinema is for free exhibition whenever
and wherever desired. Responsible
clubs or associations organized for wild
life protection will be loaned these film
free if assurance is given they will be
properly displayed and promptly re-
turned"
In summary Mr. Manifold says: aft
you are among those who aided this
division financially In 1921 by purchas-
ing a license to hunt and fish, we thank
you for it. While a dollar is little
enough to pay for the privilege of help
ing ones self literally from our re-
sources of wild life, yet in purchasing
a license you at least have the salts
faction of knowing that you played
some part in protecting and conserving
fish, wild animals and birds in your home
State. Had this not been done by you
and others, the results recorded in 1921
could not have been brought about"
The report points out that the fish
and game division of the State conserva-
tion department is entirely self-sustain-
ing, receiving sno funds whatsoever
through legislative appropriations. It's
sources Of revenue are from hunting and
fishing licenses sold, a small sum when
violators are convicted of breaking fish
and game laws, providing they pay their
fines and costs, and for permits issued TO
harbor ferrets.
