To Secure
Deer Permits

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 25-Ohio
Division of Conservation officials
today called attention to the fact
that there seems to be misun-
derstanding on the part of some
as to the procedure to follow in Sc
curing a permit for the deer hunt
ing season in Scioto, Pike and
Adams counties, December to 18.
The regular $1.25 hunting IL
cense covers the expense to the
hunter, they pointed out. There
is no extra charge for the deer
permit as some seem to think.
The Division also called atten-
ton to the fact that applications
for permits must be made indivi-
dually. Some, in applying for a
permit, have sent in the names of
several friends. Each person must
send in his own application and
these may be had at any of the
Divisions seven district offices or
at the main office of the Ohio
Division of Conservation and Nat
ural Resources, State Office Build
ing, Columbus.
