A Wise Decision

/. The decision of council in
taking steps toward the build
ing of a dam at Lake Como
will mean that the lake will be
refilled by the summer bath
ing season. This is a wise
and timely step, since the lake
and the Bathing Beach mean
much to the people Of Smyrna
and the many visitors who are
drawn here during the season.
Had these facilities been I'M
available, Smyrna would have
lost much in publicity, in
beauty, and in the recreation
and amusement Of the youth
in this and surrounding
towns.

MORE, if they can, of quail, pleas
ant and rabbits, but when it comes
to destroying the natural enemies
of this game, they become very
soft-hearted. The best definition
for this soft-heartednesS is just
plain LAZINESS. Get out and
work for our wild life; don't sit
back and wait for john to do it..
The fate of Delaware's wild life is
in the hands of our sportsmen and
so-called sportsmen. Prove you are
a sportsman by practicing as well
as talking conservation.
Attended the February trials of
the Eastern Club Sunday, February
End, and in spite of the snow the
trials drew one Of the largest en-
tries yet. VanSand Buckingham,
the Secretary, advised me that the
next trials would be run March
18th and 10th. Drop up to New
ark one Of these two days. For
the first half hour you might say
everyone there is crazy, but it will
suddenly dawn on you that these
boys have something, and you will
realize that you are getting a real
sincere kick out of the entire set
up. Received notice this week
from the Del-Mar-Va Gun Dog
Club that they were running their
trials this year at Princess Anne,
Md, on the dates of March 18th,
8th and 9th, and also learned that
the Delaware Setter and Pointer
Club will run its spring trials
March goth, 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
The DELAY Field Trial Club will
undoubtedly slip in somewhere dur
ing the month of March and run
either a retriever trial or trial
for pointing dogs, so all in all the
old dog men of the Delmarvia Pen
insula are in for a full month of
sport during March. Will see you
next week.

farmer.

farmer.
1 will always be thankful for be-
ing raised close to the soil. 1t was
always my greatest desire as a boy
to live on a farm, and while 1 new
er actually resided on farm, 1
was fortunate enough to be raised
in small town, in an agricultural
community, and I never passed up
an opportunity to spend a Satur-
day or weekend with one of my
more fortunate friends whose home
was the farm. Any man who has
missed the joys of spending at
least part of his life on a farm,
and getting next to nature, has
missed one of the niceities of Life.
Each fall I spend a few days in one
of our rural communities, quail
hunting, and never miss an OPP
portunity through the winter
months to slip back into that COM
munity and sit around the old
stove in the corner store and ex-
change views with these knights of
the soil, and the thing that pleases
me most is that am accepted as
one of them, and this is as great
an honor as can be bestowed upon
me by anyone. There is a natural
bond of friendship between the
farmer and sportsman, but so
many hunters who do not know
the first meaning of craftsmanship
and who would hunt the year
round if permitted, take undue adj
vantage of the generosity of the
farmer. The true sportsman should
make every effort to eliminate this
condition, both through Individual
effort and sanction of beneficial
legislation for the farmer.
While we are on the subject, lets
dwell a while on the subject, Tn
dividual Effort" This really COW
ers a multitude Of sins. Sins of
omission. The game wardens of
our state Game and Fish Commits
sion are doing all they can to pro
tect the rights of the land owner
and keep down marauders, but a
handful Of men can only do SO
much, and our state funds will not
permit the hiring of an army of
permit the hing of an army of
wardens. While am not acquaint-
ed with all the w&rdens through
our state, l presume they are COM
petent men. Why not get acquaint-
ed with the warden in your district
tomorrow You are helping to
pay his salary through hunting and
dog licenses, SO why shouldn't you
be interested enough to investigate
and learn what constructive work
your warden is doing. If he is a
good warden he will welcome your
interest and be glad to work in any
way possible with you SO long as it
is constructive and for the good of
Conservation in his district. One
of the ways that you can help your
warden is to declare a one man
war on predators. If each sports
man would destroy ten predators
each year, he would save more
game than he will kill during the
legal hunting season with gun and
dog. 1t is funny how SO many So
called sportsmen think nothing Of
going out and killing their limit or

Sforch Bath Soffens
Unpleasant Winter Skin

WINTER skin is plague
w which few women escape.
Your ankles are chapped; your
legs are rough and faky; your body
feels itchy-dry all over. Your case
is not unusual, and is traceable IN
part to our rigorous climate and in
part to our addiction to overheated
rooms and our devotion to the bath
tub.
What to do? Ruth Murrin, Direc-
tor of Good Housekeeping's beauty
clinic has the answer in the Febru-
airy issue of the magazine. Try
soothing protective body rub = one
that smooths and softens, dries
quickly, leaves no greasy film. There
are new body lotions especially for
the purpose; but before you invest
in one, try your old reliable hand
lotion. Apply it after your bath.
In extreme cases, the Journal of
the American Medical Association
recommends that you use soap only
on face and hands, feet and body
folds, and make your bath with
starch, bran or oatmeal. To avoid
clogging drains, oatmeal should be
tied in a gauze bag and boiled few
minutes. Then both bag and the
water in which it was boiled are
added to the water in the tub. Water
should be tepid, not hot.
The starch bath is simpler, since
it is necessary merely to stir the
starch in the water. 1t makes a de-
lightful, silky-feeling bath.

Dogs and
Conservation
BY Raul Bran

Prior to sitting down before the
Little Royal this evening, was
browsing through the mouthpiece
of the Game and Fish Commission,
which is published by the Commits
sion under the title of Delaware
Game and Fish News" The thing
that arrested my attention was the
proposed game legislation,a major
ity of which seemed to be badly
needed. Through the grape vine,
have heard that there will be sever
al game bills proposed in this Leg
islature, and the most cheerful
news is that some of them will be
introduced in the interest Of the
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1941-02-20
Birds

Some of the Girl Scouts, who
completed the Bird Finder Badge
last year have decided to repeat it
again this year.
In the last week we have noticed
some birds we do not see every day
such as the hooking bird, meadow
lark, flock of 8 or 10 mourning
doves, a bald eagle, a downy wood
pecker, and a flock of several hun
bred red-winged blackbirds. This
was sight to see as they flew up
out Of the field with all their red
wings Tapping together.
One of the activities is to identi-
fly at least twenty-five birds.
This time we think it good idea
to see who can identify the most
birds that are with us in the winter
months.
Some of the girls who have not
received their Bird Finder Badge
are working hard toward getting
it. They will also have to go on
several bird walks to see birds.

GIRL SCOUT CORNER

pines are Loblolly and Shortleaf
Pine. They have sharp pointed
leaves and cones. Their bark is
unusually rough. Delaware is
known for its famous holly trees
The people have an industry of
making holly wreaths and other
holly decorations at Christmas
which they sell to people over the
entire United States. The tree
doesn't grow very tall. The leaves
are shiny and prickly. They US
ually have red berry.
The native trees of Delaware are
the tulip which has shiny leaf
and round points, the naples which
have leaves with jagged edges, the
dogwood which bears it's flower in
the spring. The wild dogwood
which is white and the pink which
is cultivated. The flower has four
petals and smooth bark. The
dwarf sumas has small leaves on
one stem. This tree bears red
berries. The sassafras has three
leaves. One has a dent in both
sides, one has a dent in one side,
and the other has no dent. The
bark is rough.
Many things are being done to
save trees. There are five towers
where men stay on watch all the
time. If he sees a fire he reports
it and some men go out to fight it
In Delaware there is one state for
est. This is Redden State Forest
near Georgetown where the Cir
Scouts stayed for a weekend last
fall.

Thanks to the courtesy Of the
editors of this paper, The Smyrna
Girl Scouts are to have this corner
for their own for next six weeks.
We shall try to write about some
of the things in which Girl Scouts
are interested, some of the things
we do; some of the things we are
learning.
We shall try also, to set forth
the ideals of Scouting, and the
things which we think are import
ant to right living.
The other day at the troop meet
ing, some members were discussing
the fourth law: "a Girl Scout is a
friend to all and sister to every
other Girl Scout" Following are
some of the things they decided. 1t
is hardest of all to be friendly to
a girl whom you dislike, but good
scouting demands it. A friend 70
all includes people of all races.
They have right to opportunity
as well as ourselves. A friend to
all means girls of every religious
faith. We should never look down
on anyone who does not have the
same faith as we do.
Starfinder
A group of Scouts, under the
leadership of Mr.. Robert M. Brown,
have been working on the Starfind-
er Badge. The girls who are doing
this badge have met and drawn
star maps showing the location OF
the twenty consultations they have
chosen to learn. They have been on
one expedition at night to locate
these consultations. They not only
have studied the considerations but
have learned some interesting facts
about the two planets that have
been visible in the winter sky:
Jupiter and Saturn. At the end Oh
this study they will have acquired
a better knowledge Of the moon
stars, planets, meteors, and comets

Trees
There are many different kind:
of trees. For instance there arr
many different kinds Of naples
some Of which are the Norway
branch, red, silver and swamp. The
kinds are mostly found around oul
section of the country. The Rec
Naples bark is rough and the
leaves are a sort of oval shape
with points. On the Silver Maple
the bark is rough and the leaves
have deep cut in them.
