FARMERS AND SPORTS
MEN TO MEET HERE
MARCH 7th

In order that the citizens of Nor
gan county may have more oppor-
tunity of voicing their opinions or
conservation questions, meeting
of sportsmen and farmers of the
county will be held here at the Le-
gion hall, on March 7, at 8 p. M
ALI existing sportsmen's organiza-
tiOns and farm organizations, as
well as individual sportsmen and
farmers are urged to attend and it
is expected that the attendance will
be large as there has been general
statewide interest in the recently
announced new program of the Ohio
Division Of Conservation and Natur-
al Resources.
Not only will the new 15-point
program announced by Conservation
Commissioner Don Waters be ex-
planned but a county conservation
committee will be formed and two
presentatives-one a farmer and
the other a sportman-will be nam
ed to represent Morgan county on
the district conservation commit
tee. From each of the seven dis
trict committees two representa-
tives will be selected, it is announc-
ed, to act as spokesmen from the
district at public hearings, conduct
ed by the Conservation and Natural
Resources Commission and to at
tend, upon invitation, meetings of
the Commission, acting in an ad-
visory capacity.
1--WE hope to be able to serve the
people in more efficient manner
in this way" Mr.. Waters stated re-
Gently in commenting upon this
method of giving closer representa-
tion to the sportsmen and farmers
of each county and in announcing
the program adopted by the Com
mission which provides for district
field headquarters in each of the
seven conservation districts of Ohio
There is no effort on our part" he
said, ''to supplant regularly estab-
lished sportsmen's and farm groups
but rather to encourage them, as
we'll as individuals, to participate in
these county meetings.
Establishment of headquarters in
the seven districts, the Conservation
and Natural Resources Commission
feels, will develop closer contact |
eliminate travel and expense of per-
sons who heretofore have been COM
PEELED to travel to the central Off
ces in Columbus, as we'll as co-ordi- |
nate all of the activities of the Di-
vision. under the direction of dis
.rict supervisor.
District conservation officers, al
'eady employed by the Division, will
be placed in charge of those offices
as soon as they are established and
Ill game management, fish manage
nent, law enforcement and other
activities will be carried on from
.hese offices.
E. B. Cooke, district conservation /
officer, who will serve as district |
supervisor in district four, of which |
Morgan county is a part, will call
he meeting to order, turning it

hose attending the meeting. Rep
esentatives of the Ohio Division of

NEW ERA CLUB

Mrs Cora Mercer was hostess for
an interesting meeting of the New
Era club on Monday evening. Mrs
}. A. King, vice president, presid-
ed, and Is members responded to
roll call. Mrs. Captola McKeown
and Miss Augusta True led the pro-
gram. Those present enjoyed a
special treat, some two-piano num-
bers, when Mrs. George Lowell and
Miss Kate Stanton played ''The
Flatterer," by Chaminade, and LA
Baladine," by Lysberg.
Mrs. McKeown took as her gen
eral subject, February, the shortest
month in the year, and one of the
most important in the whole list of
months.' She named many import
ant persons born during the month
and few mentioned We're George
Washington, Lincoln, Thomas A.
Edison, Voltaire and Henry w.
Longfellow. Important events of
the month just past were also Civ
en-. and brought out the interesting
discussion current events always
inspire.
Miss True read a fine paper on
the building of Washington, our
national capitol city, generally con-
ceded to be one of the most beau
tiful cities in the world. She spoke
of its location, the early layout,
and building of the house of con-
gress and the presidents house,
which under President Monroe's ad-
ministration, became known as the
White House. The paper was full
OF interesting historical facts and
the use of a map of Washington
and the District of Columbia made
the paper more effective. Thomas
Jefferson, himself a noted arch
itect, was largely responsible for
the architecture and plans of the
wonderful city, and his own home,
is a lasting monument
to JeffersOn's architectural ability.
