With BILL ACKERMAN

at Corolla. We would very much
like to know what he thinks of the
waterfowl population in that area.
We never have seen anything like
it along the Atlantic fyWay, but he
would know of the other f1yWays
AS well and probably be able to
make better comparison than any
other person in the country. Maybe
his commitments will permit him
to go at a later date so that he may
at least get in his average Of three
days shooting each season. In the
past, we too have taken exception to
some of the regulations. There are
several we believe could be lightened
right now. so We probably will con-
tlnue to express our opinion on the
subject in the hope we can bring the
Service to seeing merit in our ideas.
Deer Season Under Way.
Today is the first of the open
season on deer in PENNSYLVANIA.
Until December 15-or until they
get their deer-several hundred
thousand hunters will be securing
the woods of the Keystone State.
The crop generally is conceded
to be greater than in any previous
year, and the kill at least should
equal that of last year
Deer are fair game for hunters
in West Virginia, too. The season,
however. is far shorter ~ 1t con-
tinues through December g. 'H'
There is more territory open than
for many years past and with good
crop hunters should kill more game
than during past seasons.re7aC
The new Potomac Trap and Skeet
Club at Queens Chapel and Ager
roads had their first turkey shoot
of the season yesterday. The shoot
ing was as the five-man squads
liked it and with either rifle or
shotgun. The shoots will continue
every Sunday throughout December.
