WildfowlerS are getting more sport
as the ducks are being driven south
ward by the freezing weather and
storms of last week. Shooting has
picked up generally as the boards
of ducks and geese on the Eastern
Shore, augmented by thousands of
new arrivals, are spreading out onto
contiguous waters.
The canvasbacks along with other
ducks are now we'll off the SuSque-
hanna Flats, the Canadian redlegs
are moving down and for the past
few days great f1ocks >have been
pouring off Long Island Sound and
the Jersey marshes.
This week nice bags have been
garnered from blinds in the lower
Potomac and along the lee shores of
the Patuxent as far down as Broomes
Island. Even on the Patuxent
marshes. where wildfowl have been
quite scarce, the canvasbacks and
blackheads have put in their ap-
pearance, one bag of IA cans and 2
blackheads that we know of being
shot the first of this week.
The cans are spreading out into
the Wicomico and blinds also near
Morgantown, below the bridge, have
been getting their share. Farther
upriver the shooting has been some
what spotty, which may be caused
by the grass beds being wiped out
In places earlier in the season when
the big tide swept in and covered
them with sand. However, it is
our belief that by this week end
good shooting will be general.
Daily bag limits are the rule on
the Eastern Shore and from the
goose pits in Cecil and Kent Counties
hunters continue to enjoy rare sport.
Few Quail in Maryland.
The small numbers of quail extant
in Maryland is most disappointing
to upland game hunters and many
of the bob-white enthusiasts are
going farther south for their sport.
So far this year small game hunting
IN Virginia has been far superior
to that in Maryland.
Rabbits are fairly plentiful and
the squirrel crop is generally good,
Grouse are none too plentiful and
wild turkeys in both Western Mary
land and Virginia have been well
shot up by now, especially in Mary
land. Small game IN every State

 In one of the most spectacular of these conferences" Hitler noti- fled Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schussnigg of Austria's "Anschluss' with Germany and flew into a towering rage when the Chancellor refused to accept his demand.
 Early in the war, there was a be- lief among the flyers Of the RAF' that the appearance of Allied night bombers over western Germany would touch off air raids sirens i'll Berchtesgaden Thereupon, the Fuehrcr would tumble out of bed and scurry down to his private air raid cellar at the base of the rock.
 That atory never was confirmed, but Hitler may have had a chance to use his shelter today.
 He ran into one mild embarrass- ment on the first day his rock eyrie was completed. Hitler entered the special elevator at the bottom of the Kehlstein and started the 1,8O0- foot ascent. Halfway up the shaft, the elevator stuck and the Fuehrcr fumed there in solitary confine- ment for four hours until an elec- trician discovered that a fuse had blown out,
