 Fishery Management Agent, Howard Baltzo. of the local Fish and Wildlife Service office said he had discussed the matter of tue open mink and marten season with Mr. Dinner and that Ohmer stated the regulation was as much a sur prise to him as to everyone else and added that it was mistake. Dinner said steps were now being taken by the Commission to try and get an amendment through to close the trapping season next win ter so trappers had best wait for a while before stocking up on traps to see the outcome of their 
 MT Ohmer also said that the new regulation requiring the tag- ging of deer and other big. game animals as soon as shot will not. be in force this year primarily because time is too short for dis-I tributing the tags to all hunters.

 Hartford 5, Connecticut To the Editor The Hartford Chronicles:
 Apparently, there is tendency on the part of certain misinformed individuals to disseminate rumors without foundation relative to the Turf Club, Inc, located in the North End. I wish to clarify these allegations before the situation gets out of hand.
 First and foremost, I wish to state the Turf Club, Inc, was or ganized July 1, 1893 and has fun- ctioned continuously to date. Sec ond, is has no connections and never did have any connections with the Happy Hour Club or any other organization. The same re- mains true in reference to it's present officers.
 The Turf Club, Inc, is a non- partisan organization having no affiliations politically. The pur- chase of the present site of the club was a legitimate transaction backed by the finance of the club and nothing more. The operation
