Drive To Prevent Hnnting On
Sundays.

A drive against Sunday hunters has
been started by Chief Deputy Game War
den Charles F. Smith. Of Maryland. Last
Sunday seven arrests on this charge were
made. 1t will be carried on every Sun
day. he declared. Each of the seven per-
sons arrested has been fined $25 and
costs.
Sunday hunting has become common in
many counties. though 1t is unlawful.
Warden Smith declared.
Warden Smith is particularly opposed to
Sunday hunting because Of the unsports-
manlike manner in which II Is usually car
ried on, he said. As he explained 1t. the
custom is for asmany as thirty or forty men
to 90 out together armed with clubs. sling
shots, pistols and shotsuns. which can be
concealed under their coats. They take
dogs with with them to run down rabbits.
As there are so many hunters they can
surround rabbits. thus not giving the ami
mails chance.
Game animals need a day Of rest as
well as humans do" he declared. During
the season they are chased every week
day and on Sunday they need a chance to
recuperate."
Mr.. Smith pointed out that even II the
hunters do not carry guns on Sunday they
are disobeyins the law. as it prohibits "pur-
suing game on Sundays as well as shoot
ing it,"
City residents are the principal violaters
of the provision Of the game laws. he said.
CONTAINS, for the most part. confine their
hunting to week days. he stated.

Seeks Aid For Firemen.

The Rockville Volunteer Fire Depar t.

their names enrolled by agreeing to pay
81 year each toward the support Of the

The appeal to the public sets forth that

them can upset the balance Of the
others. 50 long as this force Is strong
