Ralph Springer, Past District

mon Things Well" and said in part
that Rotary develops men further

munity and international spirit;
Rotary develops an individual to
better home life; Rotary develops
friendships of lasting endurance.
Governor Springer commended the
Smyrna Club for the recent 100
percent meeting and the excellent
spirit of friendship shown in the
club. Putting Rotary into business
is an advantage to any business.
Development of friendship between
employer and employee was given
as an essential factor in relation of
business and labor. Governor
Springer concluded by urging each
Rotarlan to have High School
Senior boy to spend one day a
month as an observer in his partic-
ular business; the object to help
the boy to choose a business or pro-

URGE EARLIER
DUCK SEASON
GunnerS of This Vicinity
Want Season for Shooting
Ducks to Start Oct. or 10
BAN OF OPENING HOUR

Many Delaware duck shooters in
this area were approached during
the season or since the closing De-
cember 5, by representatives Of the
U. S. Biological Survey or by fed
eral game Wardens and We're asked
to answer a number of questions on
the season. One was whether the
season should open earlier or later.
In 1888, the season opened October
Is. This year it opened October
%. The question has always
brought an even difference Of opin-
ion until now, when it is under
stood that most gunners in this
region favor opening between Oc-
tober l and October 10. Advocates
on an earlier season say that the
migratory ducks are using the
feeding grounds of this area all
through October but that by the
middle of November most of them
have gone farther south. An earl
ier season also would obviate the
ice problem. Another question
asked was, What do you think
should be done to benefit the gun
ner with respect to taking off some
of the present restrictions impos-
ed upon him." Most gunners in
this section replied that resembling
the z a. m. opening hour would
prove the greatest benefit because
it would allow the gunner to get
set in his blind by dawn, permit
ting a few shots while the ducks
were leaving the marshes for the
river. Often during the past sea-
son practically all ducks were gone
from the marshes by $50 a. n.
