con Club of Baltimore will send a
delegation to Ocean City August 16
to cooperate in. the organization of a
similar unit on the Eastern Shore.
This club, of which ]. c. Bondurant
is president, is active in sports and
conservation interests in Baltimore
and the State, having taken deep in
terest in conservation movements af-
fecting the Chesapeake Bay. 1t
maintains close relationship with Wes-
tern Maryland sports and conservation
bodies and was one of the hosts of
the Outdoor Life Convention held last
year in Baltimore. 1t was at this con-
vention that an invitation was ex-
tended for this years convention at
Ocean City. Since it was then seen
that sports and conservation organi-
cation on the Eastern Shore had lag
ged, discussion of plans was begun.
The Maryland Sportsmen's Lunch
con Club has always shown cordial
attitude towards the Eastern Shore
and lent itself last year to publicity
stunt for Ocean City bluefish by plane
and served the fish to it's members
at one of it's meetings.
At the last meeting of it's board of
directors, the Club appointed David
Lampe to make arrangements for
meeting at the George Washington
Hotel, Ocean City, for group of
twenty-five of it's members. The men
will arrive for dinner Friday, August
16, and plan to meet with Eastern
Shore sportsmen Immediately after
dinner in the hotel banquet hall.
William Parker, Jr., son of the
president of the Emerson Hotel of
Baltimore, is chairman of the Clubs
cutting committee and is organizing
the visit. Among those in the party
will be, in addition to those named,
Myer Rosenbush, Baltimore attorney
and one of the organizers of the Club;
Ralph Sharetts, member of the Balti-
more City administration and chair
man of the legislative committee of
the Club; Merle Towner, general pur-
chasing agent of the Western Mary
land Railroad; Emanuel Gorfine,
speaker of the House of Delegates;
Peter Chambliss, "Fisherman's Luck"
editor of the Baltimore Sun; Mr.. E.
Lee LeCompte, Maryland State Game
Warden and number of others.
I. L. Benjamin, owner of the George
Washington Hotel and others have
been asked to organize delegations of
Eastern Shore sportsmen to attend the
meeting, and it is hoped that group
will organize itself in every Eastern
Shore community to meet with the
Baltimore men after dinner on Friday,
August 16-probably about eight
o'clock. The Baltimore men, most of
whom are bringing their families, are
planning to remain for a fishing vaca-
ton.
This interest on the part of the
Maryland Sportsmen'S Luncheon Club
will be important in establishing
splendid point of contact between the
two Shores.
The fishing guides of the Eastern
Shore will find it splendid movement
for attracting more sports fishermen
to the Shore. Business and profess
sional men of the Shore who are them
selves ardent sportsmen, will enjoy
the meeting and the train of contacts
that will result from it.
There are already interested dis
cussions of plans for the Eastern
Shore organization, and numbers of
little preliminary meetings are being
held to discuss men who are POSSIBLE
ties for office in the new Eastern
Shore Sportsmen's Club.
