Q
No OPEN SEASON ON QUAIL .
IN DOUGLAS COUNTY .

An article first appearing in .
= one of the Reno papers and .
' given wide publicity in the state .
. press, gives the misleading in .
formation that open season for .
. hunting quail, exists in Doug .
. las county. .
This unfounded report may .
cause some well-meaning person .
to run afoul of the law, since .
y quail hunting in Douglas county .
will not be allowed until the falls
. of 1924. An attempt is being .
made to PROPAGATE quail in Car .
son Valley, large numbers of the .
game birds having been purchas- Q
ed and liberated here during the .
past few years. .
Ignorance of the law excuses .
no one, and those that take the .
advice of the misinformation and .
unreliable published statements .
Will be shown no mercy If they .
are caught shooting quail with .
Douglas county. .

Parent Teachers To
Form Association
at This Place

The initial meeting OF the propos-
ed Teachers association for
the Gardnerville- -Minden community,
which was held at the Douglas
county high school Wednesday after
noon proved a success in many ways,
not only from the interest taken or
the number present, but from the
awakening Of the parents and teach
ers to the realization of the need of
such an organization in the COM
munity. The outstanding conviction
of the meeting was that there should
be closer coordination between the
home and the schools, both the high
school and the grades.
Mrs. w. II. Marston of Berkeley,
Cal, organizer of the Parent-Teaeh-
ers' Association, who for the time is
maintaining headquarters in Renor
was present with valuable suggest
ions and aids for the local group in
its organization. Mrs. Marston has
had years of experience in this field
and has proven herself a capable
leader in the organization of local
chapters of the association. 1t was
through her timely approach to the
question that the matter was form
erly taken up in Wednesdays meet
ing.
No formal organization was per-
fected at the meeting. this matter be-
ing left until such time as a larger
body of parents and teachers could
be assembled for a more detailed and
thorough discussion of the proposi-
ton. A program committee was ar
ranged for with Mrs. John Dangberg
representing Minden; Mrs. j. j.
Brockliss and Mr.. Lewis of the high
school representing Gardnerville.
The date of the first community pro-
gram was set for Friday night, Sep
tember 2Sth. The meeting center for
the time will be the high school
auditorium. An enjoyable and great
ly worth while evening is being ar
ranged for with light refreshments
and social half hour during the in
termission Musical numbers, read
ing selections and short talks will
contribute most largely to the enter
tainment, to which every parent
teacher and patron of the schools of
the county are most cordially invited
In fact II is urged that special ef-
fort be put forth to keep this date
open when II will be possible for to
estab the contact between the
homes and the schools so essential
in the educational and community
work. Plan definitely on being there
Friday evening, September 2Sth a
1880 at the high school auditorium
At this It can be decided whether
community organization or separate
high school and grammar schoo
groups should be organized.
The out-of-town visitors to thu
Wednesdays meeting included Mrs
w. E. Steinbach of Berkeley, Mrs
C. w. Westover and Mrs. d. E
Erickson, both of Reno, all of WHOM
have had considerable experience
with Parent-Teachers' Associations il
their sections of the country.

that II would be difficult to rival, and

According TO Harvey NJ. Toy, chair
man of California commission, the
maximum grade OF the road Will be

smooth road open most of the year,

adequately take care of the require
ments that the mountain road does,

Mrs. Talbot admits that she has
sustained a heavy loss during the en-
gagement Of the Russians here the
first half OF last week
The truth IS that Indianapolis did
not give this organization the sup
port which the merit Of the work
deserved.
One objection advanced is that 50
top and 81 low for matinee and night
performances OF opera is too steep.
This fact remains-only on Tuesday
night was every 81 seat sold out.
The Wednesday matinee prices were
the same as for the night perform
ances. l think that a popular priced
matinee, say as low as $3.50 top,
would have resulted in fifty times the
revenue which the matinee yielded.
The smallest audience that I have
ever seen at tho Murat was present
Wednesday afternoon to hear THE
Demon" I was unable TO remain for
the entire performance, but was
moro than satisfied with the work of
the principals.
Probably THE Demon" was an
unwise matinee bill because 1t IS
heavy and does not universally APP
peal. A lighter opera and lower prices
might have resulted in better sup
port, some argue.
