DUCK SEASON
OPENS TODAY
go Days This Year; Daily Bag
Limit is 10; Hunters Pre-
pare DecOys, Blinds
COLD WEATHER DESIRED

The 1941 wild duck and geese
season, go days this year, opened at
sunrise today in Delaware. Duck
hunters are hoping for colder and
more blustery weather for the COM
ing season. While migrations are
under way, it is felt there will be
fewer ducks in reach of guns if the
weather remains warm and the
water calm. Shooting time in Del
aware closes at p. m. each day
The daily bag limit for ruddy and
canvasback ducks is 10. Not more
than three of any one kind or three
in the aggregate of redheads and
buffeheads may be taken. The
season in Delaware, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey is from October 1e
to December IA, and in Maryland
from November 2 to December 81
The seasons are set by the Federal
Wildlife Service under treaty ar
arrangements with Canada. The
death of ducks from poison fooo
conditions in the marshes east OF
Wilmington is expected to cut
down usual quotas in that area
Reports from Canada generally in.
dicate a much more numerous mi.
grafton of ducks, due to increased
breeding under favorable conditions
in the summer months. All hunt.
ers over 16 must carry the fedora
duck stamp, validated in ink by
the carriers signature. It costs
81. The stamp is not necessary tC
hunt woodcock, as it is classed as
an upland game bird.
Gunners Busy With Blinds
Gunners have been busy on the
marshes during the past few days
getting their blinds, boats and de,
coys in shape. Practically all gun
ners who have blinds on marshes il
the Port Penn area were out ovel
the weekend putting on the finish
ing touches. Many gunners wait
until almost the last minute tC
wrap the broadbent, the marsh
reeds used in forming the outer
covering over the wooden frame OF
the blind, so that the grass will be
completely dead and yellowed and
thus blend in with the landscape Of
the marsh surrouning the blind.
wooden DecOys Used
Since it has been illegal to EN-.
ploy live ducks as decoys for sew.
eral years, wooden or cork decoys
are principally used. These usual
ly have to be painted or blackenet
each year. Some gunners try tt
paint their wooden decoys to repre-
sent mallard brakes, pin-tai
brakes, and other colorful specie!
so that decoys of all colors, shapes
and sizes are on exhibition.
Many Ducks Present
Some observers say that there
are as many ducks as usual feeding
in the marshes for this time of the
year. Others believe that a few
days of cold weather will bring
down thousands of ducks now feed
i ing farther north.

Wave Of Conversions JOlts British
Jewry Out OF Pre-War COmplacency

like a freshly awakened sleeper,
British Jewry is still confused,
but at least it is to wake at last.
1t is considering, now that it is
finally conscious of the problem,
what to teach it's children. Vague
ly it is beginning to realize that
merely going through certain
motions is not enough. It is not
enough, for instance, to teach
Hebrew, ritual observance, etc.
More important is the incubation
of actual Jewish religious and
ethical values, expressed in action.
"Have we not deliberately soft
pedalled the prophetic teaching 2"
DR.. Roth asks, and Immediately
points out that British Jewry, like
the English people as a whole, is
staunchly conservative and is not
thinking in terms of Reform
movement. Nevertheless, he urges
"a reversion to our fathers more
comprehensive view of life and
creed"
"Gentiles, too," he adds, "are
querying what can be the force of
Christianity which makes possible
bestialities such as have preceded
and accompanied this war. The
English people as whole is feel
ing it's way to a new era when
privilege will imply only addition
al duties, and opportunity will be
open to all, and there will be no
more starving in the midst of
plenty, and an attempt will be
made to put into practise the
Ideals to which we paid in some
cases only lip-service in the past"
What an opportunity for Amer
lean Jewry to learn a vital lesson
before it is too late! Or must we
wait for bombs, evacuation of our
own children, and conversions to
wake us up?

BY EDWARD E. GRUSD

They used to be complacent, the
Jews of England, concerning their
Jewish responsibilities. They had
their old and respected institu-
lions; they gave, often and gen
erously, to all good causes; and
when critics pointed to certain
unpleasant aspects of communal
life, such critics were dismissed as
bores, mono-maniacs, or fanatics.
Everything seemed to be for the
best in the best of all possible
communities. Of course, the Eng
lish people as a whole were like
that, and perhaps it was only
natural for English Jews to be
the same way. But that was two
years ago. Today the problems
caused by the war are changing
all that.
One Of the best authorities on
the subject is DR.. Cecil Roth, and
one of the outstanding living his
torians of our day. In a series of
letters to the National Jewish
Monthly, published by B'nai Birth,
he is analyzing what's happening
to British Jewry during the war,
and in the same magazines forth
coming December issue, he reports
an alarming state of affairs.
There has been wave of
conversions in this country recent
ly," he writes. II don't know
how large it is, but it's certainly
sufficient to demand attention"
Evacuation has scattered Jewish
children all over the island, sep
arating them from parents, re-
ligious schools, and synagogues.
Many are being cared for in non
Jewish homes. Many who once
received Jewish education are re-
ceiving it no longer, due to war
time conditions. Some who be-
came converted are German Jew
ish refugees who, safe again in a
democratic land, promptly pro-
coed to forget the lessons of their
own experiences and hope to as
simulate completely. Others are
deeply affected by the fine Chris
tian spirit manifested on ALI sides
in England, and who apostasize
out of gratitude, as it were.
But more important, as DR..
Roth points out, is the fact that
before the war British Jewry had
done too little in the field of Jew
ish education to fortify its people
and especially it's youth against
the very trials they are now ex-
periencing.
can enormously high proportion
of the Jewish children in Eng
land" he writes, had no sort of
Jewish training even before the
war "a proportion perhaps not so
large as that in some American
cities, but that is no cause for
self-congratulation). We paid no
attention when they told us this,
time after time, in the complacent
days before the war; but at last
we are beginning to realize how
right they were, and how wrong
our attitude of Indifference was"
In fact, DR.. Roth points out, the
most significant and most hope
full development in English Jewish
life today is discomfort! That
discomfort is like an alarm clock
that has awakened a sleeper and

BRIDGE OF SHIPS

Despite the fact that submarine
sinkingS are increasing in the
Atlantic, the administration is
going ahead with plans to build
a bridge of ships across the ocean.
No chances are to be taken that
there will not be enough ships to
keep supplies going to the British
Isles.
Lend-leaSe authorities. it is re-
ported, are being informed that
England not only needs heavy
bombers but particularly tanks
and anti-aircraft guns.
Expansion or building OF new
tank factories and ship ways is
being made necessary by the fact
that through priorities a great
amount of material originally in
tended for United States military
forces is being diverted to Eng
land The second reason for pass
ing of the new measure is the fact
that the United States govern
ment cannot contract for increased
supplies and plan ahead until it
has actually received the money
from Congress.

NO UNDERESTIMATION

Confirming the report that
President Roosevelt is taking no
chances on Understanding the
quantity or period for British wal
needs. is the statement by Repre-
sentative Woodrum CD of Vir.
ginia, chairman of the House
appropriations subcommittee which
will handle the second lend-lease
measure. Woodrum said:
II understand that some of
the money will be for use I'm 194S
and perhaps later.
There are those who think
the war may last into 19iS or
1914. Personally, 1 do not think
IL will.
IL understand that the new
program will he so designed that
II the war ends we can use much
Of the material for our own
needs. For example. We must
continue TO build our twO-ocean
navy and to provide guns and
other equipment that goes with
IT,"
The money to be appropriated
in the second measure is to be
used along with the $1,000 1000, 900
first made available in order to
expand production and increase
help for Britain. When
the first act was passed, it was
estimated that most of the money
would be spent or completely OBJ
ligated for by 1912.
