OPEN SHOOTING
FOR RAIL BIRDS
Season Started Friday on the
Marsh Lands About Del
aware City
REPORTED PLENTIFUL

The season for Railbird shooting
opened last Friday, September
and were out in numbers along the
Delaware City, Port Penn and
Taylor's Bridge marshes. Accord
ing to reports railbirds this season
are very plentiful but doubt is felt
as to whether gunners will be able
to find the birds which will inhabit
that section of the marshes where
the reeds are the thickest. Should
this be the case sportsmen would
be unable to reach the birds as
cunning skiffs could not be usher
ed through the heavy reeds. Little
shooting of railbirds will be done
until about the middle of Septtm-
ber as the birds will not be in good
condition until that time. Reports
that thousands of young wild
ducks were killed by the northeast
storm in this locality were denied
by sportsmen who own marshes on
the Delaware River. They state
that there are few young ducks in
this locality and that most of them
were able to take care of them
selves during the storm by taking
shelter in the heavy reeds in the
marshes. Under the Federal mi
gratory bird act reedbirds cannot
beshot in this State again this

number Of years. The season for
shooting doves, which are usually
plentiful this year, will open on

POSTMASTERS
IN SESSION
State League of POstmasters
Hold Annual Meet at
Slaughter Beach
A. r. ABRAHAMS TALKS

The country is looking up, the
NRA is making great progress, yet
under President Roosevelt, with
many new things under considera-
tion, you may be called upon to do
other job somewhat out of your
regular line or work. Be prepared
and ready to help put over any
good idea for the advancement of
your fellow man" This was the
farewell advice of Postmaster AL
exander r. Abrahams, of Whining
ton, in an address to the Delaware
League of Postmasters assembled
in the annual summer meeting at
Slaughter Beach near Milford,
Wednesday afternoon. In what
was his farewell address to his fell
w-postmasters, Mr.. Abrahams
said serving the public was real
job these days, and no public Of
fetal has a better chance to rem
der satisfactory service than post
masters and other employees of the
Postoffice Department. You must
satisfy the patrons and at the
same time satisfy the department
by practicing economy and operat-
ing your offices on reduced bud
gets. You must preach courtesy
as the postoffice representatives
are the contact men for the United
States government" He reviewed
the work of the current quarter as
to economy, furlough and retire
ments and stated all of these pro-
grams were of great Importance
and necessitated cooperation and
study. He also outlined the part
postmasters have played in the
NRA program and said this work
put all classes of employers and
employees in close touch with post
masters, thus emphasizing the nee
essity of being on the job and be-
ing prepared to handle almost any
kind of governmental work. He
thanked the postmasters for their
cooperation and said it had been
an honor and pleasure to work
with them. After his address many
of those present asked numerous
questions concerning the NRA and
Mr.. Abrahams answered them,
clearing up several misunderstand-
ings. President S. S. Dennison of
the Delaware League of Postmast-
ers, also called on Postmaster Will
liam Murphy of Milford. He said
he appreciated having the post
masters in his two home towns,
Milford his business home and
Slaughter Beach, his Summer
home. He congratulated Mr. Alb
rahams on his record as postmast-
er and said all were sorry to have
him leave. Miss Annie Vandegrift,
secretary of the league. said the
members appreciated the many
courtesies Mr.. Abrahams had ex-
tended to them and they all wished
him great success. 1--WE want you
to always remember us and atten6
all our meetings" she said in clos
ing. The po&masters met in the
Milford postoffice and were well
coined by Postmaster Murphy. He
then advised them that he had
made arrangements for them to go
through the L. ID. Caulk Company
plant. After a thorough inspec-
tion of Milford's well known insti-
tuition. the members went to the
Slaughter Beach Hotel for dinner.

SQUIRREL SEASON OPEN 18TH
Infogmatidn Furnished BY Chief
Warden Clarence 5. Foster

According to Clarence S. Foster,
Chief Warden of the Board of
Game and Fish Commission, there
is a false impression that the
squirrel and dove season opens on
September /. The portion of the
game laws referring to the open
season for squirrels and dove, is
as follows: '"The season for shoot
ing grey squirrels and doves, in
stead Of opening on September
as heretofore, does not open this
year until September IS. The sea
son for grey squirrels closes on
November /, and the daily bag
limit is six. The season for doves
closes on November 1st, opens
again on November Is and closes
on December Is, with a daily bag

Prehistoric CoIossi Battle
 -Wray and Armstrong Starred

With a sensational admixture of the prehistoric and the modern in . story of fantastic imagination, RKo-Radio makes a bid for an ails time record with it's spectacular production. '.King Kong'' featur- ing Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong and Bruce Cabot, and in the name role a great animated 6O- foot ape, built to proportoin com parable with monsters of the Ju- rassic and Cretaceous periods.
 As q production, '.King Kong'' was two and a shalf-years in the making. Early in 1929 the first research inquiry was sent to lead4 ing paleontologists throughout the world. The studio had a vital inc terest in the appearance and habits of such pri4nitive monsters as the pterodactyl, the brontosaurus, the tyrannosaurus and the dinosaur,
 Did these formidable creatures. now extinct, run, hop, or fly when in fast pursuit of their prey? What. exactly, were their proportions !? Active reconstructions of such monsters were to enact roles in the motion picture.
 | It took a year and d half of tre- mendous work to collect the data, assemble it for practical purposes and construct dozens of reptilian and other monsters in exact scale. During that time, and before a camera crank was turned, the stu dio had created the largest and most varied collection of prehis- toric colossi in the United States. Man-Made Monsters
 Tn the early part of 1882, Merriam c. Cooper, world traveller, adven- turer and associate producer for RKO-Radio Pictures, started filnl- ing operations with Director Ernest B. Schoedsack, his old partner on many foreign trails.
 It wasn't just a case of pointing camera at 8 group of people. Scores of creatures dating back in- to the dawn of life had to be anil mated in smooth motion and in re- lation to the normal movements of human beings opposite to whom they were to perform. The meth and photographing them are AhAO " AO Oh0 OGt5loO VI NOVp. CT, Schoedsack and their scientist assistants.
 In Terrific Combats
 The magnitude of this years task at the camera is clearly seen in the results. One scene shows a battle between the mammoth ape sand tyrannosauurus, largest of prehistoric reptiles.
 Still another is desperate run- ming fight between this giant ape, King Kong" and scores of men while white girl is held tightly clutched in the beasts paw.
 The most spectacular scene of all concludes the picture. "King Kong" seeking to escape the torments of man, climbs the tallest structure in New York. and there, with the girl at his feet, wages losing bat tie against a squadron of army pursuit and bombing planes.
 It is said that the prodigious phantasy 'King Kong" makes in- significant any film heretofore pro- duced. The picture comes to this city next Sunday to the Palace the- ater.

"Rasputin and

Barrymores Cast in State
 Theater Feature

Brilliantly mounted, gorgeously costumed and setting new stand ard for screen acting, "Rasputin and the Empress" Metro-G Gold wyn- Mayors major triumph Of the current cinema season, opened this afternoon at the Warner State tfeater and lived up to its advance reputation of being an even great CT and more overpowering film production than Grand Hotel, last years memorable tallxie hit.
 Not only is 'Rasputin and the ! Empress dazzling because of its imposing cast headed by the cele. brated Barrymore trio, John, Ethel and Lionel, in their first joint a,- pearance in films, but because oi it's tremendous sweep and scope, it's gigantic reproductions of the magnificent ceremonials of the pre- war Russian dynasty, and the wide diversions of striking characteriza- tions.
 It's interest, however, centers first and foremost on the powerful story it depicts, that of the fall of the Romanoffs, once Russia's most arrogant and exclusive royal fam
