Duck Season Opened
Sooner Than Expected

Duck hunters throughout Mon
tana were thrown into a frenzy OF
hurried preparation last Friday
morning when the biological survey
informed the state fish and game
commission that the duck and goose
season would start Sunday. The
commission had asked the federal
agency to set Montana's season
from October | to November Is
instead of from October % to De
cember p as originally planned,
because many sportsmen's organ
izations complained the late season
would deprive them of good hunting
time.
Most hunters reported good bags
made possible because of plentiful
water holes and lakes, which prob.
ably will be frozen over in a few
weeks Officials of the commission
said the crop Of local ducks is largel
this year than for several seasons
but predicted that it will be some
time before the big northern NAL
lards and honkers cross over or
the way south for the winter.

Says To LET
No Person
Go Hungry
Federal Official Writes To
State Welfare Department
Regarding Commodities.
FOOD AND CLOTHING
WIDELY DISTRIBUTED

Let no person be subjected to
hunger and privation SO long as
there are surplus commodities avail
able for distribution is the key
note of a letter sent out to welfare
workers by H. 6. Albin, chief of
the purchase an distribution di-
vision of the Fed~ral Surplus Com
modities Corporation.
Mr.. Albin writes to [. M. Brand
jord of Helena, administrator of
the Montana Department of Public
Welfare, as follows:
As you know, many workers are
losing employment due to legisla-
ton which requires mandatory re-
lease from the State Work Prof.
ects Administration rolls because of
eighteen months continuous en-
ployment.
'Inasmuch as regulations require
thirty day period to elapse to their
reapplication for employment and
since delays of longer time are fire.
quent, this is working a hardship
on many of those released and their
families. A large number of these
workers have made application to
state and local certifying agencies
for surplus commodities. The ma
lority probably will have no re-
sourses Of any kind beyond the pay
they receive for the final period of
their employment prior to Au-
gust 81.
The Corporation assumes that all
state and local certifying agencies
will have no hesitancy in declar-
ing such families eligible for sur
plus commodities where need is
known to exit We are anxious to
supply surplus commodities to meet
human needs 1t is suggested that
you make every effort to review
applicants, expedite certification
and issue surplus commodities on
an equitable basis with all other
sible.
I'VE recognize that your facili-
ties have been strained by the in
creasing burden of WPA layoffs and
other emergency needs. Our para
mount interest, which we share with
you, is to be certain that no person
is subjected to hunger and privation
ou lOiiB do lilGiG dlG surplus COIn-
modities available for distribution.
II is our earnest desire to facilitate
distribution in accordance with
your expanding needs
The following surplus commodi-
ties are now available for distribu-
ton, or will soon be available says
Brandjord: Butter, evaporated milk,
cornmeal white flour, wheat GER
cal, beans, onions, oranges and
other fruit.
1t is again urged that in all suit
able localities every family having
an insufficient food supply should
acquire COW and store up feed for
the winter. An abundant supply of
fresh milk would be a most valu-
able addition to these numerous sur
plus commodities, particularly in
the diet of children.
A letter from Brandjord says that
the total retail value of all surplus
commodities distributed by the
Montana department during the last
fiscal year including clothing, ETC.,
exceeds million and a half
dollars.
