4 A movement has been inaugurated
by the Rockville Izaak Walton League
Chapter to have the next session Of
the General Assembly enact a law
placing control of the State Conser-
walton Department in the hands of the
sportsmen of the State.
In talks at the October meeting of
the chapter, B. F. Stiffler, president
of the Silver Spring Izaak Walton
League Chapter, and Reuben Riggs,
head of the Rockville group, agreed
that the best results in the conserva-
ton of wild life could only be obtained
by completely divorcing the State
Conservation Department from politi-
cal influences. Under the existing
law, members of the State Conserva-
tion Commission are appointed by the
Governor, it was pointed out.
The speakers held that inasmuch as
the sportsmen of the State contribute,
through hunting and fishing license
fees, every dollar expended by the
State commission, excepting fines
collected for violations of the game
and fishing laws, they should have
sole say as to the personnel of that
body as well as to who should be
charged with execution of the con-
servation laws.
Both Stiffler and Riggs advocated
Ia non-partisan State Conservation
Commission, with but one paid mem
Der, to be selected at a convention of
the sportsmen of Maryland, and urged
that a campaign at once be started to
enlist the cooperation of the Izaak
Walton League chapters throughout
pthe State and -ether Interested organs
lied groups.
The meeting authorized President
Riggs to name a committee to study
the matter and take steps to "sell"
the idea to other chapters and organ
izations. Riggs said he would name
the committee soon.
The fifth annual trap shoot and
oyster roast of the Rockville chapter
will be held at the Fair Grounds,
Rockville, October 30, it was decided.
President Riggs heads the General
Committee of Arrangements and the
chairmen of the various other commit
tees were named as follows: Trap
shoot, Joe Dawson; oysters, Judge
Donald A. DeLashmutt; beverages,

LING DOWN MAIN
STREET we run into postoffice in
spectors these days. They are looking
out for Uncle Sam and, incidentally,
jim Farley, when they give your
corner the once-over and pass by
making remarks about "gold-mines"
and "1ocal pettiwogs," whatever that
means. You know, voyage down
main street doesn't do anyone any
harm. You run across lot of things
Bob Burns never dreamed of, or If he
did, he just dreamed them.
THERE IS NOTHING like the
small town. We love it while we hate
it. 1t breathes flattery on one hand
and exudes treachery on the other.
There is nothing like the small town
to start a rumor-whether it be a
harmless play-on-words, or vituper-
alive comment disguised beneath a
coating of sugar and honey.

AS We See It
By MONTCO

THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY
GENERAL HOSPITAL, serving
Montgomery and Howard counties, as
well as other counties of the State of
Maryland, surely deserves the support
of every family who at some time
meets up with sickness and adversely.
Naturally, a hospital, with it's thous-
.ands of dollars expended for equip
ment, nurses and physicians, cannot
exist unless sufficient funds are forth
coming to meet emergencies. You and
l may have to go to the hospital. Per-
haps we can foot the bill. Perhaps we
cannot. Usually we can, given the
time. These other poor creatures who
deserve a break in life should certain
" get it from US who may be more
fortunate. The annual Donation Day
of the Hospital is set for Sunday,
December A. See to it that you donate
money if you have it. or, linen,
canned goods, fruits, vegetables, any
thing which may coincide with the
Biblical quotation from Matthew, 25,
35-37: 81 was hungry and you gave
me food to eat; was thirsty and you
gave me drink; was stranger and
you took me in; naked, and We clothed
me; l WAS SICK and YE VISITED
