Expect Hundreds to Attend Open Meeting
OfMarsh Owners and Duck Hunters This
Friday At Armory: To Raise Court Funds

Several hundred irate marsh
owners and duck hunters are ex-
pected to attend an open meeting
this Friday evening, which the
Ohio Waterfowl Association has
called for 8 o'clock in the Port
Clinton ArmOry.
George Wenger, chairman, said
the meeting was planned at a ses-
sion of the board of directors and
executive committee held in the
Colonial Club last Friday.
He said the open meeting to
which all sportsmen will be well
coined, this Friday night, is called
for the express purpose of raising
funds with which to fight the half
mile limit imposed against marsh
es adjoining those which have
been closed.
Ray Lambert, long interested in
the welfare of marsh owners and
duck hunters, stated that the AS
sociation will probably select a
hunter or property owner who has
been penalized, and prepare a
court test case against the Depart
ment of Interior, which administ-
ers the migratory waterfowl treaty
of 1884, under which federal war
dens are invoking the some SO
marsh closings in northern Ohio
and southern Michigan.
P. M. Jones, an ardent sports
man, declared:
1.-The whole situation affecting
duck shooting in Ohio requires a
thorough discussion. The regula-
tion pertaining to the one-half
mile limit, it's transcending of
property line, and it's effect on
marsh property having an offend
ing or violating neighbor will be
thoroughly considered"
."Ohio is either going to be a
"duck shooting" state, or it is not.
Ii is not with the present regula-
tions," Jones declared.
Twelve huneled letters were
mailed this week to interested per-
sons, calling attention to- the meet
ing.
At meeting of hunters and
marsh owners held at this time
last year in the Yacht Club, nearly
300 sportsmen attended to protest
marsh closing early last season.
This year more marshes have been
closed than last, sportsmen report.
