HUNTING SEASON BRINGS
MANY OUT FOR RABBITS
Over 1000 Hunters in County
Are Legally Entitled to Shoot
Game

Tuesday, November l, marked the
opening of the hunting season for rab-
bits and other upland game, except
squirrels and deer in Western Mary
land.
Over 1000 hunters in Garrett
county are legally entitled to tramp
the woods and forests and shoot, as
that many licenses have been issued at
the office of the clerk of the Circuit
Court. This is an increase of about
500 over the number issued up to this
time last year, and is said to be due
to the prevalence of more game.
Besides rabbit, hunters may also
search for certain species of pheasant,
wild turkey, and quail. The season will
close on November 80, after which the
deer season will be open for five days,
December l to 5 inclusive.
Hunters are being urged by fores-
try officials to exercise extreme care
in the woods to prevent any more
forest fires such as occurred during
the squirrel season in October. There
will be danger of forest fires until
early in December.
Hunters are finding that more and
more organizations are being formed
for the preservation of game and that
several large areas have been posted
prohibiting hunting. The most recent
organization is one at Mt. Lake Park
The game division Of the conserva-
tion deartment announced it had col
lected $120,648.4O in license fees dur
ing the fiscal year ended September
30, or S3O,241.10 more than the pre-
vious year.
A total of 69,6OO hunters permits
were issued The game division col
lected $7,095 from game and fish
fines.
Funds collected in Garrett county
included $2,753.1O in county resident
licenses; $61.75 in statewide, and

DEFINITE STEPS TAKEN
FOR BAND ORGANIZATION
Oakland Rotary Club Expecting.
To Sponsor Group; Budget Will
Be Raised For Expenses
COMMUNITY NEEDS BAND

Definite steps toward the perma-
nent organization of the Oakland
Boys Band and permanent sponsor
ing organization were completed at a
meeting Tuesday night of committee
appointed by the Rotary club.
This committee was composed of
Delbert Davis, chairman, Grover c..
Stemple, Dr. w. w. Grant, Ralph E.
Weber, Arthur Lawton, and Foster D..
Bittle. The group met with Mayor
Lawrence Fraley and worked out
plans that are to be presented to the
Oakland Rotary club on Friday even
ing.
1t is expected, according to the COM
mittee, that the Rotary club will spon-
sor the band. Present plans call for a
budget of 5000 annually. Legislation
already makes it mandatory for the
town to levy 5000 annually for the
bands support, and the group plans
on obtaining about $3.50 from town
organizations, and donations from
citizens amounting to $3.50
With budget it will be possible to
pay the band leader for his two even
ings spent with the band each week,
and also to pay the drum major for
his marching instruction and other
work with the boys.
Mr.. Davis said the business men
and other citizens seemed to be feel
ing the need of band and realizing
the worth of such an organization not
only to the members, but to the COM
munity, and that such an arrange
ment would probably be made Friday
evening.
