Sellers Are Hit

Sports goods stores and others
selling hunting licenses VIII be hit
because the last legislative session
passed a law, allowing them a
Scent fee for issuing hunting
licenses. The failure Of this bill
to go into effect this Fall, will
add about $4,000 to conservation
department funds.
New fishing laws are not touched
by the adjournment date of the
Legislature. Effective dates were
written right into these bits, which
are Jan. i. 1912.
About the only effect the new
laws will have on hunting this
season will be the taking of rab-
bits in the Upper Peninsula where
the season is open until March /,
and in Zone 2 in lower Michigan,
which is the section north OF
Town Line IS tBay City-Muske-
gon Line).
In this area rabbits may be
hunted until January 81. Should
the Legislature adjourn October 9,
hunters then would have 10 be sat-
isfied with three Dummies per day
instead of five, after January 9.
This muddled state of affairs
has left a nightmare for the con-
servation department TO figure
out, especially the printing of the
1941 Game Law Digest, which
every hunter obtains when he
purchases his license.

Unless specifically stated new
laws do not become effective until
90 days after final adjournment OF
the Legislature. The Legislature.
still in session, is expected to con-
vene until October 9, and should
they adjourn al that time, II would
bring the effective dates Of most
conservation measures up to jan

Much has been heard OF the
plastic body and varied reports
came out of the Dearborn labora-
tories as work progressed on it,.
But il was finally put on public
view with the warning, however,
that it was still in the expert
stage and that substitu-
ton for the steel bodies was still
a long way off.
The appearance OF the new car
was a surprise, Occasionally some
thing would be said about the
work on the plastic body. But
when it was driven before the
|25, 900 who had gathered for Dear
born Day, it caused a Juror.
