OPEN HEARING SET
ON CONSERVATION

Conservation committees in all
counties of the state are calling
meetings of farmers and sports
men in preparation for the open
hearing to be held Thursday, Dec.
13 in Hearing Room 2, state Office
Building, Columbus. This is the an
nual event prescribed by law at
which the Ohio Conservation Com
mission hears the viewpoints of
farmers and SportSmen regarding
the fishing regulations to become
effective the following year.
The county committees decide
upon one farmer and one sports
man who will represent each of the
seven conservation districts in the
state at the open hearing.
The Ohio Division of Conserva-
ton has pointed out TO the county
committees that game protectors
in their respective areas regard
it as their duty to assist in any
way possible in making these meet
ingS successful. They cooperate by
helping to contact all SportSmen'S
clubs in the county as well as
farmers organizations, including
the County Agricultural Agent,
Oranges, Farm Bureaus or others
interested in conservation.
1t is the duty also of the county
game protector to transport both
the farmer and sportsman repre-
SentatiVeS to the county COnSerVa-
ton meeting and to return them
to their homes after the meeting
unless other arrangements are
made by the representatives to
drive their own cars. Every effort
is made to secure the viewpoints of
both farmers and sportsmen so
that their sentiments may be used
to guide the decisions of the Con-
serVation Commission at their
meeting following the open hear
ing.
