It takes courage to stick your neck out. To have a be- lief and to stand up for that belief. To set d course and to be willing to follow it thro- ugh. But what do we have brains for if not to use them to do our own thinking? What do We have feet for if not to stand on them firmly? What do we have necks for if not to stick them out to see where we are heading? Think back; We have Unions because a few men were willing to stick their necks out for Industrial Freedom. We gained recog- nition because there were hundreds more Wllllil9 to stick their necks out and to face hardships in order to have better things for our children,

Misrepresentation: The State
has NOT purchased thousands
of acres of good turkey and squir-
rel woods, which are open to the
public" The only public shoot
ing lands the State has control
over are located in Garrett, ALE.
gany, Dorchester, Somerset and
Worcester Counties. No others.
The western counties are for the
hunting of turkey and deer, the
eastern counties are for the hunt
ing of ducks. The State of Mary
land owns NO land in Montgom-
cry County where the public is
invited to hunt, although it does
have six wild life refugees where
hunting is explicitly forbidden.
One of the most preposterous
things Mr.. Carlock said was that
there was a lot of mast (food)
for the squirrels in Montgomery
County. / categorically deny this
statement. There was little or no
natural mast for the squirrels
last season. If you could find
cornfield in the jungle which is
western Montgomery County you
might find squirrel Corn was
about all he had to eat.
Now about the rabbits: The
State of Maryland in 1857 mag
unanimously, according to its own
figures, released into its covers
total of 20 rabbits. These rab-
bits. according to their figures,
cost the State, SIPS each, total
of $3.50. Is it any wonder there
are practically no rabbits at all?
On one thing, and on one thing
alone, do I heartily agree with
