Recommendations From
Local SpOrtSmen

Letters have been sent to a number
of sportsmen in the county by Fulcher
P. Smith, Cumberland, a member of
the State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission, asking for requests or recon-
mendations that will improve the
game and fish conditions or be steps
toward advancing conservation work
in the State.
Mr.. Smith is of the opinion that each
spiortman or club of sportsmen in the
county have some problems that arise
in their immediate vicinity which they
discuss among themselves but get no
further, so he suggests that anything
for the good of conservation be called
to his attention so that they may be
taken up and discussed with other
members Of the Commission. Mr..
Smith stated he was particularly anX
ious that individual sportsmen would
feel free to go to the Commission with
suggestions.

secured as the result of a recent ex-
animation here of the towns fire de-

of 3 cents would be allowed for the
provision of four bunk men in the fire.
