The election ended the serious
side of the program and from then
on the evening was a succession of
laughs as the t&thers presented an
old-fashioned vaudeville show.
CLEVER PROGRAM
From the entrance of Bill Du-
flock as master of ceremonies, and
decidedly awkward one, and
Pete Hixson as the barker and also
the heckler with everything to sell
from razor blades to peanuts, the
large audience never experienced
dull moment. The entire program
was most original, with clever lines,
often ad libbed, and most amusing
costumes.
For the first act, the ensemble
sang school Days." encouraging
the audience to join in, gentlemen
of the ensemble being Red Mitchell
Lee Nuffer, Al Bevan, Den Young,
Cy Morton, Shields Charlton, Nor
man Deaton, Walton Johnson and
Carl Schooss.
The next act was laid in the old
time saloon with Red Mitchell and
Lee Nuffer as the customers, Al
Bevans as the bartender who mixed
a fearful and wonderful concoction
and with the singing walters in a
group of heart-rending numbers
which brought tears to the eyes OF
the customers.
Vladimir Aronovici gave most
dramatic and also most original
version of the scene between Pyra-
mus and Thisbe in Shakespeare's
midsummer Nights Dream with
Red Mitchell playing the role OF
the announcer.
WRESTLING MATCH
The famous wrestling match fol-
lowed between Carl Schooss and
Shields Charlton, the former weigh
ing in at 102 and the latter at 290.
Lee Nuffer was the referee, Milton
linn the promoter, the match
continuing until the referee was
| knocked out.
Cy Morton then appeared as a
trombone student having consider
able difficulty until he sent for his
| tutor, his son, Gail, fifth-grade
student who is an expert musician
and who delighted the audience
with his number. The two played a
duet next which was splendidly
done, the father playing valve
trombone and the son slide
trombone.
Last number on the program was
given by the quartet again, Nor
man S. Deaton, Shields Charlton,
Carl Schooss and Walton Johnson,
; the ensemble then singing Good
! Night, Ladies'"
The evenings festivities began
with a delicious buffet supper ar
ranged by Mrs. Odell Johnson, room
mother and Mrs. George Martin,
her assistant, who were aided by
the room mothers from the various
rooms.

Chukor Is A
Problem Bird

COLUMBUS, Aug. 8.-From
time to time since 1929 ship
ments of Chukar Partridges
have been imported into Ohio
from India, with the hope OF
developing a new game bird for
sections where pheasants do not
thrive. Results have not been
promising. Reports from field
men of the Division of Con-
servation TO Conservation Com
missioner Don Waters indicate
that there has been small, If
any, increase in numbers, and
that birds are rare anywhere in
Ohio, and entirely wiped out in
most sections where they were
stocked. Chukars do not seem
to thrive in Ohio, and no other
State which tried importing
these birds has claimed any
marked success.
War has prevented importa-
tions of the birds for several
years, and it Is doubtful if fu-
ture efforts along that line will
be made in view of the outcome
of previous projects. Hungarian
Partridges from the Balkans
are different upland game birds
and may yet secure a foothold
in Ohio.

Fish Tag
Sets Record

COLUMBUS, Aug. During
the past fifteen years Ohio fish
ermen have cooperated with the
Division of Conservation and
Natural Resources by returning
fish tags to the Fish Manage
ment Section. On May %,
1914, w. P. Heimann of 504
South Pearl Street, Columbus,
and his fishing partner, Willard
Bower, caught an eighteen inch
channel catfish on a club min
now at Harbor Hills, near the
eastern end of Buckeye Lake.
The fish was tagged June II,
1889, a quarter of a mile west
of Edgewater Beach and was
at least two years old when
tagged. 1t retained the strap
metal band on its gill cover for
an additional five years, show
ing that an eighteen inch chan
mel catfish is at least seven
years old.
This is the long time maxi
mum record for an Ohio fish
tag and while Mr.. Heimann
caught the fish within a mile
and a half of where it was
tagged, the five year record is
one for the books and in Ohio
may never be broken.

Conservation
Gospel
Grows

COLUMBUS, Aug. Casual
followers of Conservation, in
terested particularly in some
one phase of the subject, may
not have true vision of the
overall picture. The gospel of
conservation is much wider to-
day than it was few years ago
when it was largely a meat"
problem. And if there is now
wider public interest and
understanding much credit is
due the hunters, whose pitifully
few license dollars in the earlier
years pad the bills for research
resulting in proof that the
proper land and water use and
bountiful supply of wildlife
are synonymous and the driving
home to the public conscious
ness of the need for outstanding
of wild life and fish, and later
for the development of wider
aspects and pioneering pro-
grams.
Nowadays there is general ac-
ceptance for need of a long time
campaign as outlined by the IS
point program, adopted early in
1910 by the Ohio Conservation
and Natural Resources Commits
sion. AS the projects then cata-
logued began to blossom into
action they led to other posi-
bilities, The program has gone
along with surprising success IN
spite of interference by war
conditions. The Conservation
c o m m S 0 n is enthusiastic
about the future promise of con-
servation in Ohio, and is the
leader in the movement to con-
solidate all conservation agen-
cies in the State into a splendid
separate department to prevent
duplication of efforts and ex-
penditures and to unite scat
tered forces into an orderly,
comprehensive force with ade-
quate appropriations to achieve
the needed results. The limited
income from fishing license
money cannot possibly serve
Ohio in water program so
necessary in many parts of the
State.

Hen PhedSonfS
Creo+e Damage

LANSING, Mich.-There can
be no legal shooting OF hen
pheasants next fall.
The conservation commission
or conservation d p r TIM ent
have no authority to change
Michigan law to allow the TAX
ing of pheasant hens in areas
where they are causing exces-
sive damage. Such change IN
the law must be made by the
legislature.
Today's statement by the de-
partment is its answer to de-
mands that are being made,
notably in Thumb areas, for lib
eralizing of the law next fall.
Pheasant damage has been par
ticularly heavy in Huron county.
State law limits department
authority and responsibility to
the establishing of seasons on
muskrats, beaver, skunk, bear,
waterfowl and deer in Allegan
county. The department can at
its discretion, also reduce season
lengths and bag limits. II can
enlarge neither.

it into the boat. The fish had
swallowed a sinner which
Austin was using as bait. Sherm
