Hunting
 and fishing
By GENE VALLON

A Date To Remember-Tuesday July 16-The first meeting of sports men in Waterbury and vicinity is scheduled for Tuesday, July 16, at the SERA Center on Hamilton Avenue, with the Scovill Rod and Gun Clubs officers and members acting as hosts. This event has been facilitated, and finally brought about through the courtesy and CO., operation of Fred Wilson, ScoviIl's Co-ordinator of Employe Relations Cor something like that).
 It really feels good to see all our proposed plans actually beginning to materialize and materialize they VIII to even a greater degree when all the sportsmen get together and see to 1t that they get $3.36 worth of sport for a license fee that has set them back the same amount.
 No it wasn't the situation at Quassy that actually brought these meetings about. We tried to get these sportsmen'S meetings going over one year ago. But we will say that the interest aroused over the the lack of good fishing out Middle bury way gave us an incentive to bring out into the open a few other unfavorable conditions, not only in fishing, but in hunting also.
 Is it because the State has de- prtved this part of Connecticut of its fair share? Or is 1t because they have not the necessary funds to pro- vide ample sport for the sports menS Does this condition exist only in this vicinity? In regard to ths last question, your writer and a few others might say, yes.
 The other questions? Well, you, the sportsmen, can answer them next July 16 at Scovill's SERA Gen. ter and decide what you want to do.
 If the sportsmen of this vicinity had an opportunity to better Hunt ing and Fishing, they certainly have 1t now. It has been proven in the past that individual out bursts or rebuke on the part of anglers (and hunters) toward the state, has proven fruitless. Our aim is to consolidate all 'discontented' license-holders and then speak as an organized group. If, by some remote chance, there happens to be anyone who feels that we are enjoying ideal hunting and fishing in this locality, ask him if he won't stay home.
 Remember, it's Tuesday, July l6, ct the SIERRA Center on Hamilton Avenue for your Sportsmen's Meet ing.
