Cooperation Needed
By Sportsmen-Fa
This Point Stressed at Rod and
Gun Club Meeting Last Friday
by George B. Shields

Emphasizing the need for cooper
alton among farmers and sportmen
of the county and the need for more
cooperation from sportsmen in re-
porting game violations, were two
points stressed by George B. Shields,
deputy state game warden, in his ad-
dress before the meeting of the
Youghiogheny Rod and Gun club at
the golf club house last Friday even
ing.
Concerning the former he cited
particularly the matter Of proper and
adequate food packs" for game and
declared the results would be amaz-
ing if such an organization would
sponsor such a movement.
In the matter of game violations
he stated that the law was no better
than its enforcement agency and
pointed out the difficulty in thorough
ly patroling as large county as
Garrett with only a few wardens.
TO Open Mt. NebO
Shields officially announced at the
beginning of the meeting that the
State Game Department had decided
to open the largest acreage of Mt.
Nebo to sportmen during the forth
coming season.
This tract of about / ZOO acres, was
closed by the State one year ago for
a game preserve which brought many
protests from the sportsmen.
Many Persons Attend
The meeting was attended by over
130 farmers, business men and others
from various sections of the county.
Opened by Emory, w. Adams, presi-
dent of the group, he turned the
meeting over to Senator Lawrence
NJ. Fraley who called attention to the
fact that the organization was re-
sponsible for killing the proposed 81
to oppose the $3.50 statewide hunt
ing license. Fraley said the county
representatives would continue to
supporte them in legislation benefit
cial to the county.
William r. Browning suggested
one season for hunting small game,
one for deer, to conserve resources of
the county. Fulcher P. Smith, mem
Der of the State Game and Inland
Fish Commission indicated what the
commission did had to be considered
on a Statewide basis, and said it
would be much better if the State
could be divided and policies estab-
lished for both the Western
and Eastern Shores. He said the
commission was planning to put ad-
ditional deer here this season.
Jesse Bloch, speaking briefly, said
something should be done by the
County Commissioners to reimburse
farmers for destruction of crops by
deer, and that it might be a good
thing for the game commission to
open the season on doe. Former Sen
ator B. |. Gonder stated that he
would continue to support any laws
for the good of the county along con-
servation lines. Mr.. Gonder is a mem
ber of the Board Of State Forests and
Parks.
The meeting ended with the show
ing of motion pictures on wildlife in
some western states. Light refresh
ments followed.
