Open Season On
Squirrels Starts
September Is

There are many squirrel hunters
in Maryland who annually go into
the woods in pursuit of the elusive
"Bushytail;" these small game ami
mails have been none too plentiful
in the Free State for the past few
years, and the Maryland Game and
Inland Fish Commission is of the
opinion there has been no material
increase in the squirrel population
since last open season. 1t held two
open meetings during the last year
to consider proposed open seasons
on squirrels, both for a late open
ing, which were attended by large
numbers of squirrel hunters; one
was held on the Eastern Shore
and one on the Western Shore.
The sentiment was clearly for an
early open season at time when
the squirrels were young and
tender, the leaves on the trees, and
the hickory nuts just right for
cutting. For these, and other rea-
sons it was deemed wise to continue
the open seasons and limits that
were in effect last fall.
Therefore the open season on
squirrels in Maryland for the year
1850 will be September Is to Sep
timber 80, inclusive, with a daily
bag limit of 6 and a possession
limit of IL. There is no season
limit. The shooting hours are from
sunrise to sunset. There is much
difference of opinion as to the prop
err time to hunt squirrels, and it is
impossible to suit all those inter-
ested. Attention is called to the
fact that no one except land
owner, actually residing on the
farm, and not relatives or friends,
may kill squirrels between August
Is and September Ia, on his own
land when actually destroying
corn. 1t is in no sense an open
season, but merely right given the
farmer to protect his corn.
There are many places in Mary
land where squirrels are so plenti-
full that they have actually become
nuisance, principally around
cities and on restricted areas. The
Commission, therefore to relieve
those who are being injured by
squirrels, and to improve the hunt
ing, has instituted trapping pro-
gram in and around Baltimore
City, and Washington, D. c., under
proper supervision, where the UNI
wanted animals are. trapped and
transported some DISTANCE, then
liberated in suitable habitat, where
they will do the sportsmen some
good.

Twenty Young Members Lead
The Presbyterian Services

Twenty young members of the
Darnestown Presbyterian Church
conducted the entire service on
Sunday, Sept. 3.
The services began with the
musical opening prayer, "The Lord
iAin His Holy Temple" sung from
Tie doorway outside the church
auditorium. The twenty young
people of the choir gave beauti-
full rendition of "Send Out Thy
Light" by Charles Gounod, and
"Near When We Need Him"
Equally effective was Peter Beall's
solo, "My Cathedral" and a duet
by Betty Lou Miles and Paul Gull
bertson, with the choir joining in
the choruses. Organist was Miss
Betty Lou Miles.
The Introductory prayer was
given by Ted Noffsinger. LaRue
Ward led the recitation of the
Creed. Responsive readings were
led by Barbara Mills, and Juanita
Whirley made announcements. The

in 1892, during the Passionate of
Rev. R. M. Moore. In 1897 an ed

Epworth At One Time Part
Of LaytonsviIIe Charge

Among other things, Maryland
claims the honor of being the
cradle of Methodism in America.
The Irishman, Robert Strawbridge,
emigrated to this country in 1850
and settled on Sans Creek, Car
roll County where he opened his
house for preaching service. From
this spot, the Methodist Church
has reached out over the 48 states.
At the close of the Civil War, after
disputes and much litigation over
the ownership of Church property,
Fpworth Methodist Church was in
cluded in the Rockville Circuit of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
At the first Quarterly Confer
ence held at Laytonsville, May
1868, Gaithersburg was asked to
raise 500 on general apportion-
ments, which is the first data on
record of this Church's work with
the Conference. A few of the men,
bers at this time included I. G.
Warfield, M. H. Griffith, Thomas
English, F. L. Bell, C. F. Duvall,
H. Weeks, J. Duley, Judge Thomp-
son, Hanson Thompson, N. Ward,
John Garrett, Hezekiah Leamon,
j. Rainier, N. Ray, H. H. Kinsey,
w. H. Briggs, w. H. Jones, N. Sui

flower.
In this same year, the Board of
Trustees of the Church, consisting
of u. w. Arnold, Thomas English,
Joseph R. English, w. r. Fulks,
Hamilton Crawford and Hezekiah
Leaman purchased the church
known as st. Luke's from the
Presbyterians at a cost of $1,000.
This property was on the southside
of Frederick Road, west of the
cemetery and both church and par
sonage are still standing, occupied
as dwelling houses.

Hears King Talk

Malcolm E. King, Public Rela-
tions Director of the Maryland
Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion, was guest speaker at the
September meeting of the Clarks-
burg Community Association, held
in Clarksburg Hall. Mr.. King
spoke Of the possibility of stocked
pond for the Clarksburg vicinity,
which would not only beautify the
community, and serve as a rec
reational feature, but would rem

The Associations president,
Ralph F. Martz, appointed COM
mittee composed of Major Gran
vile Marts. Henry Hough, As
sistant District Game Warden, and
Colonel P. G. hewitt, to make a
survey of the town to find suit
able location for such a pond.
A hold-up in securing iron
braces for street lights was re-
ported by the Light Committee.
However, it is thought that the
service may be installed by October
l. A buffet supper, public speak
ing and band music is being plan
ned to mark the occasion.
The Road Committee is making
survey regarding the widening
of U. S. Route 240 through Clarks-
burg. A further survey is being
conducted to consider curbing and
sidewalks through the main and
residential sections of the town.

Clarence Day, Mrs. John Red
graves and Mrs. G. r. Wilhide,
served refreshments.
The next meeting will be held
Friday, October 6, at 8 pm.

Effects Of TeIevision
Revealed By D. c. Survey

(Reprinted from the Maryland
Press Association Bulietin.)
In Washington a survey on
"Television-its effect on family
habits" revealed that this boom is
discouraging for the theatre own
er, radio broadcaster, book and
magazine publishers and the sports
promoter.
A story in the Wall Street Jour
nal reveals the following results
of the study of 400 television-set-
owning families in the Capital
area.
"Grownups with television sets
went to the movies 1870 less than
they did before they got their sets.
The children went 46% less.
adult televiewers on the aver
age said they spend 22,6%o less
time reading magazines than for
merly, 29.1% less on books, AT
less on newspapers. CThe sur
veyors caution these figures should
be regarded as conservative, es-
pecially on applying to books, since
questions as to reading are gen
orally regarded as involving pres
tige.) Children's reading habits
have been affected less-a drop of
i11% in magazine reading, 5.7%
in studying the comics, and 9.2%
in reading books.
Before television, the families
averaged 8 hours and 36 minutes
of day radio listening and 3 hours
and AZ minutes of night listening.
They now use their radios an aver
age of only 2 hours and 81 minutes

Members of television set-own-
