FISHING NOW A
DAILY PASTIME
Parties Returning
From the Fishing Banks,
Report Good Catches
ANGLING FOR BAY TROUT

Many people are motoring to
this section for fishing and crab
bing, particularly along the Della
ware City-Port Penn highway on
down by Woodland Beach to Bow
ers' Beach. While the grabbing is
not so good, the fish are biting well
and several hook and line anglers
from Delaware City are having
sport catching white perch, cat
fish, and sunfish in a few hours.
Those who were making the best
catches were batting with shrimp.
Those fishing with worms and
meat were catching catfish and
eels. There seem to be plenty of
crabs around now but only small
catches have been made so far this
season. Probably the greatest
sport, atleast the one that draws
so many to Delaware, is the sport
of angling for trout and other fish.
Boating parties are moving off
most every day on the high tide
from Woodland Beach, Delaware
City, Little Creek and Bowers
Beach to the Fishing Banks
down near Ship John Light. On
some of these trips it is not infre-
quent for parties to bring in be-
tween 200 and 300 fish, some catch
es even exceeding this.

GAME GROUP
SEEKS CHANGE
Suggest States Have Their
Own Schedule For Shoot
ing Wild Fowl
SEASON OCT. / TO JAN. 81

The Middle Atlantic States Fish
and Game Commission Association,
of which the Delaware game and
fish commissioners are members,
adopted a resolution at a recent
meeting in Trenton, n. J., request
ing that Federal regulations for
shooting migratory birds be drawn
to include the period from October
to January 81. The resolution
requests that this period be estab-
lished, from which each State will
select the number of shooting days.
The present season for wild duck
in Delaware opens on November 1
and ends on December 81, the bag
limit being IL. This is not found
to be satisfactory to all the Middle
Atlantic States due to either the
season opening too late or closing
too early. For this reason the as
sociation believes that if the Fed
eral regulation on migratory wat
erfowl was spread over the period
from October 1 to January 81, in
elusive, with rest days or consecu-
tive days, all parts of the States
would have waterfowl shooting at
the proper time 1t is further be-
lieved, the resolution states, that it
would have the government time.

olutions adopted. c. S. Foster,

Plans for the campaign were dis

chimes and equipment. Two of the

the inspectors before September l

agreed by those attending the
meeting that the inspection cam

ough, if not more so, than it was
last year. Representatives of the
automobile clubs and organizations
discussed the plans with the Safety

ed attention to the fact that defec-
tive mechanism was responsible
for seven per cent of all fatal ac-
cidents in the State last year and
for Is per cent of all types of acci-
dents. He stressed that it is just
as necessary for the State to safe
guard users of the public highways
from dangers of motor cars with
defective brakes, lights or other
accessories as it is for the State to
protect the public health through

TOWN LAW VOID
IN MIDDLETOWN
Liquor Application Of M. r.
Boyer, Hotelman, Turned
Back to Commission
BLUE STATE LAW CITED

Judge Charles S. Richards, Mon
day, in the court of general ses-
sions filed an opinion holding an
ordinance passed by the Mayor and
town council of Middletown, limit
ing the alcoholic content of spirit
uous liquors to 10 per cent, to be
null and void. The opinion was
filed in the case of Martin r. Boyer
hotel proprietor of Middletown, who
was refused a license to sell liquor
at the Middletown Hotel, by the
Delaware Liquor Commission, in
view of the ordinance of the town
council. Boyer sought license to
sell liquor for consumption in the
dining room, tap room or bed rooms
of the hotel. The town ordinance
banned the sale Of alcoholic liquors
exceeding 10 per cent. of alcohol by
volume for consumption on the
premises. The commission had in
formed Boyer that it would refuse
to grant license to be used in any
county or subdivision thereof, con-
trary to any prohibitory law then
in force in such county or subdi-
vision. The Court directs that Boy
er's application for a license be re-
manded to the State Commission
for further consideration. Citing the
liquor control act the Court opin-
ion concludes: TT is general law
applicable to the whole State and,
therefore, the ordinance adopted
by the mayor and council of Mid
dletown, limiting the alcoholic con-
tent of alcoholic or spirituous
liquor sold for consumption on the
premises, or sold on the same
premises where beer, ale or wine is
sold for consumption, to 10 per
cent, of alcohol by volume, is an
tagonistic thereto, and consequent
ly, void and of no effect. Boyer
was granted a license by the State
Commission Tuesday.

State Derives This Revenue
From Licenses Through

BEER SALES MOUNTING

BY next week, the beginning OF
Delaware's second year of Repeal
the State Liquor Commission viii
have turned over to the state treas
ury about $4,000, collected as
liquor and beer taxes and licenses
For the year ending this June, it
is estimated that about $4,000 bar
rels of beer were legally consumed
by the public in this state From
December to the end of this month,
it is estimated roughly that 49,70O
gallons of liquor and about 5000
gallons of wine have been consum-
ed. The control of beer and liquor
sales in the State has not cost the
State a cent because the Liquor
Commission under Pierre S. du-
Pont, has become a self-sustaining
agency. Saturday, the commission
sent the State Treasurer a check
for $4,000; this week another
check for S65,0O0 will be sent The
remainder of the $4,000 has been
sent at various times during the
year. The new license year for
liquors and beers started Monday
morning. A. j. Taylor, executive
secretary of the commission, said
that about $50 new licenses have
been issued, including licenses for
one brewery in Wilmington, and
one distillery in lower Delaware.
About Is persons have been refus-
ed renewal of last years licenses
for various reasons. About 80 have
failed to apply for renewals. Mr..
Taylor also stated that the COM
has collected upwards of
100000 for 1934-1935 licenses.
Next week, S65,OOO of that will be
sent to the State treasury. The

.DRYS SPLIT ON
STATE PARTY
Majority Quit Meeting In Will
mingtOn, After Attack on
Third Ticket Plan
FOR PROHIBITION SET-UP

Delaware drys again Monday
night waged another battle, not
this time with the vets, but within
their own organization at the
meeting called at the Y. w. c. A.
to organize Prohibition Party
And the party was organized de-
spite the protests of the Rev. Ivan
hoe Willis, director of the Anti
Saloon League of Delaware, and
the fact that less than half those
attending remained for the actual
organization following a heated
discussion. Leading the movement
for the organization of the party in
Delaware was Mrs. Thomas W.
Jakes, chairman of Christian cit
izenship of the Delaware w. G. T.
u, and Edward E. Blake, of Chi
cago, chairman of the national pro-
hibition committee, who had come
here for that purpose. The provi-
sional executive committee named
for the party in Delaware includes
two representatives from Whining
ton and one from each of the coun-
ties. They are: Wilmington, Mrs.
Jakes and DR.. c. w. Hughes; New
Castle, Richard Enos, Wilmington;
Kent, Mrs. Mary Herring, FELTON,,
and Sussex, Mrs. E.J. Winder, Sea-
ford. The committee was advised
to hold county conventions at an
early date, followed by State con-
vention. The Rev. Mr.. Willis based
his arguments upon the fact that
the w. c. T. U. il resolutions
adopted in the Spring, had unan-
imously endorsed the policy and
program of the Anti-Saloon League
pledging their support and cooper
alton in their plan to nominate dry
candidates for the two major part
les in the coming primaries. This
action was endorsed by the State
executive board on May 8, by the
Sussex County Convention on May
16, by the Kent County Convention
on May II, and by the New Castle
County Convention on May 18, he
stated. With number of the
group not voting, the motion to or
ganize the Prohibition Party of
Delaware was approved.
