the state crowded with more hunt
ers. seeking rabbits. quail, and

Reason for the large turnout
given game officials was given as
the lifting of the restrictions on
sale of shells, gasoline and tires.
Frank A. Lawson, chief game
warden for the state. said the sea
son. which officially opened at
midnight last Wednesday night,
will be extraordinarily good, from
all appearances. He added that
rabbits. quail and pheasants have
had an unusually good breeding
year. with the exception of the
month of July.
Added to this was the fact that
game has had a chance to accumu-
late during the war years wher
many hunters were in the service
and others were handicapped b,
the scarcity of sltllS, tires. anC
gasoline. Although the season fOl
