Closed Season
Is Not Sufficient

1t is good news to lovers of wild life
in Imperial Valley chat no pheasant
shooting will be allowed in the valley
this year, but that ruling alone will not
be enough to protect these beautiful
game birds from extinction here. If
pheasants are to survive, there must be
constant enforcement of the game laws,
as we'll.
Not the hunters but the itinerant, for
eign born field workers are responsible
for the wholesale destruction of the
pheasants here For every pheasant kill
ed by hunter from the city, there are
so killed by Filipino and Mexican ranch
hands every year They are shot, trapped
and shared in many ways to make
stew for the Filipino ad Mexican camps.
Only by rigid enforcement of the game
laws will this destructive practice be
stopped.
Imperial Valley has depended in the
past on part-time game wardens, or game
wardens who spend only part of their
time here-and that usually during the
hunting season. Yet the pheasant trap
pers know no season, nor do they abide
by any rules. If there were game war
den here the year round, devotlng all
his time to enforcing the law, the pheas-
ants might be protected. Until one Is
stationed here II months out of the year,
theN will not be.

hands of Joe Gottlieb, &c. a jobless
plumber, and fell right out again.
Called to the home of Abraham
Leonard in Brooklyn to fix a leaky
pipe, Gottlieb went to work in the
basement.
Cropping along an old pipe atop a
beam. he dislodged a wallet stuffed
with 500 bills.
Il started to count it." he said
"but my hands were shaking. never
saw so much money in my life. I
counted to $4,000 and stuffed it all
back in the wallet. There was $1,000
altogether, ! figured"
Gottlieb cautiously went upstairs
to tell Mrs. Leonard he had found
some money. She took possession of
the wallet, he said.
Later he collected 81 for repairing
the pipe.
