This is the time of year when
the lure of the woodland calls and
the "Nimrods" take their hunting
gear out Of moth balls and begin
polishing their guns. While we
have many ardent hunters in this
vicinity, perhaps none are more en-
thusiastic than the group who an
nually take off for South Dakota
to hunt for pheasant-the most
colorful of all upland gamebirds.
This year the group chose West
ern New York State for their an
nual hunt. They left last week
and returned Sunday after a most
successful trip. Those who en-
joyed the sport and returned with
plenty of pheasants in bag"
were Judge Charles W. Woodward
of Rockville, DR.. Arthur F. Wood
ward Of Frederick; William F.
Prettyman and Charles W. Pretty
man of Rockville; James Pugh and
Tom Perry of Chevy Chase and
Louis Reed of Gaithersburg.
Speaking of hunting, word has
come from Mrs. Lydia P. Gregg,
describing her farm in East
Waterford, Me-, as a hunters
paradise. Mr.. and Mrs. Gregg
have many friends in this vicinity.
Mrs. Gregg was kindergarten
4eacher in the Rockville Elemen-
.tafy School for the past two years
and Mr.. Gregg taught in the Cal
thersburg High School. Mrs.
Gregg's hundreds of little boys
and girls will be thrilled to know
that deer roam the pastures of her
farm and that several weeks ago
a=moose called at her front door
and made half-hour visit. Neigh
bors. came by car to see him and
he was quite content to pose. One
neighbor killed a bear recently and
another a 27-pound wildcat. Mrs.
Gregg is teaching in Maine this
year and Mr.. Gregg is studying
at Columbia University.
