| llllued effort On the part OF
welfare workers and citizens
interested in juveniles to staff
the detention home with competent
personnel. For more than eigh

taken by reason of request of
the state game commission, be-
cause it was deemed best to
have a uniform hunting and fish
ing season in all counties west of
the Blue Ridge.
The fishing season will thus
remain open during May and
June on all fish except black

punishable by a fine of not less
than $1,000 to do so.
