NEW GROUP HOPES
TO INCREASE GAME
ICOHfinued from Fir,t PageJ

"The possibilities before this as
sociation are unlimited" Mr.. Totten
said, lit is not confined to securing
Legislation which will provide game
protection, but toward developing a
Statewide interest in the natural
resources of Delaware. Our State
without question is one of the best
adapted sections in the east for
small upland gamefi waterfowl and
game fish. Our quail shooting and
black bass fishing alone are equal
to that offered in any like area east
of the Mississippi.
1T is vitality necessary that our
sportsmen unite i'm a determined and
definite effort to protect, conserve and
build up this natural game and fish
supply In recent years both have been
materially depleted. Lack of funds f0r
direct supervision as well as lack Of
interest among spOrtsmen permitted
this II has become serious and fer
that reason the group of men who have
organized this new association believe
that ii is a vitality necessary STEP They
are pledged to give their best efforts to
bring about improvement and with the
association seeking the membership of
every sportsman in the State, The ac-
complishments possible are without
limit"
The association is equally representa-
five in its official direction in the three
counties of the State. Each county has
Il vice president and three members of
an executive committee. A united effort
to interest every sportsman in Della
ware to become affiliated wit hthe asso-
citation is under way. Secretary John j.
Parsons is Issuing membership appii-
cations and cards and with the charter
membership fixed at three hundred, it
is anticipated that this number will
soon be on the roster. This, it is eN-
planned, does not mean that the mem
bership is limited to that number as
the association anticipates upward OF
thousand or more to join its ranks
within n comparatively brief time. Ev-
cry sportsman of eighteen years or
over is eligible and at the nominal
membership fee of one dollar per year
ii is believed the membership will grow
rapidly.
The membership campaign now I'M
der way is keenly stimulated by the
offer of DR.. William +. Harris TO hive
