Everything has its purpose
even those pesky overhanging
branches on your favorite fishing
stream. Here S one way to put
those branches to use and catch
more fish while doing it. A gaff
hook makes a handy anchor
where there are overhanging
branches or stumps popping up
from underwater or along the
shore. This neatly does away with
dropping an anchor into the

Simplify Game Laws

though there are more hunters. Fewer
laws are needed, desperately needed,
which sportmen can understand and en-
joy.
"In recent years there has been wide
spread dissatisfaction among Virginia S
hunters as to the multiplicity of game
laws. Part of this stems from the very
makeup Of the State, which is split east
and west generally by the Blue Ridge
mountains -.
with two rule-making bodies (the
Game Commission and the General AS
sembly) it is no wonder that heller
SHELTER conglomeration of regulations
has plagued sportsmen over the years.
This has especially aroused resentment
and puzzlement during the past two
years 80.
George Washington, an honorable
man and Virginia's first outstanding
surveyor, would find it impossible to
go deer hunting in Virginia today
unless he had compass"
The committee also strongly recon-
mended the hiring of special dog war
dens in all localities, wardens who would
eliminate stray dogs which prey on
livestock, game birds and game animals.
We believe that in general sportsmen
all over the State will support all of
these proposals and recommendations
If they are adopted by the next General
Assembly they will go long way to i'm
prove hunting and fishing in Virginia,
do away with the present confusion
and improve recreational opportuni-
ties.
The first step would be for the Cen
eral Assembly to lay down the broad
general pattern of the law and then not
Interfere with the rules and regula-
tons set forth by the Commission of
Game and Inland Fisheries. The Cen
eral Assembly has created most of this
confusion itself, by passing so many
local bills.

greed that the Sidele company
could not reasonably be expected
to sign a new contract which
cost the firm more than its total
net income for the preceding
year.
But since Sidele would not con-
tinue operating under the old
contract while negotiating a new
one, the NLRB concluded that
the South Carolina plant had
been established "as a device
for attempting to wrest bargain
ing concessions from the union.
This conclusion is at variance
with this statement from one of
the partners in the firm, Sidney
L. Schiro:
ITO understand the attitude
and interest of the union in this
event, we were at one time as
sured by union representatives
that if we would go along WITH
the unionization of the Ware
Shoals plant, the action before
the NLRB) would be dropped.
This we refused to do
1.-The NLRB, strangely enough
agreed that our location in Ware
Shoals was caused by valid eco
nomic reasons. yet held that we
should offer jobs to the Philadel-
phia working force, pay their
moving expenses, and ordered
us to make restitution of loss of
wages for the last two years.
obviously, enforcement of this
order would bankrupt US or most
any other successful firm. The
simple result would be no plant
in South Carolina and no plant
in Philadelphia"
The Sidele firm has appealed
the NLRB order to the Third
Circuit Court Of Appeals, and
may get relief there. But it is a
sad state of affairs when indus
try must trun to the courts to
establish justification for eco
nomic survival.

Lesson for November rs, 1861
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-11-24

WE agree with the Virginia Legisla-
-" tive Council that the game and fish
laws should be revised and simplifield.
For. years the General Assembly has
been enacting local game and fish laws,
usually for one county or locality, until
the Virginia pattern of game and fish
laws is a crazy quilt which few people
can ever straighten out or understand.
The recommendations also include
changes in the law for greater protec-
ton to property owners and added safe
ty for hunters and the public. These
are also desirable changes.
Major proposals of the Committee
are:
Adoption of uniform laws and regu-
lations, season and bag limits, with the
major differences being in the eastern
and western sides of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, natural geographic divis-
ion
provision against carrying loaded
firearm, of any calibre, upon any high
way or street, or near them
"A PROVISION IOT issuance OF a search
warrant permitting wardens to search
property for game and fish illegally
taken and illegal devices used in taking
game or fish,
A provision permitting property own
ers to institute civil proceedings to re-
cover damages of $50 from those who
trespass On his property.
Adoption of two-part law designed
to permit better enforcement of the law
against spotlight hunting of deer and
elk.
A suggestion that the Commission of
Game and Inland Fisheries work with
county authorities in the establishment
of such boat landings as may be necess-
airy for recreation and sporting pur-
poses.
Throughout the report the theme of
simplification ran strong. 1t said in
part:

If you are anything like me,

about things political.
Unfortunately, you don't.
Some 90-or-more per cent of

world events we get from the
papers or from that idiot box
that disgraces our homes. And
what We absorb from them is
their version Of the STORY and
their version may or may not
have material relation to the
facts.
So, how can you properly
gauge the beans in a box if you
are not permitted either to see
them or to gather a rough esti-
mate by running them through
your own fingers.

our mass media are doing their
best to smother it as one would a

A little smoke here, a little there,
that is all.
Our wire services-the APP and

prits. They twist and distort facts

Is the National Labor Re
lations Board deliberately trying
to obstruct further industrializa-
ton Of the South-or is it simply
embarked on about promotion
of unionsim?
Whichever question hits near
err the. truth, the fact remains
that recent rulings Of the NLRB
have set a pattern which bodies
i'll for manufacturers who may
want to head for a relatively
unorganized South.
National policy is fairly well
established that an industriaist
cannot pick up and move his
plant simply to get out from
under a union contract. Run
away shop" decisions on that
point are nothing new.
But the NLRB now seems to
have reached the point where it
looks upon a union contract, or
union demands for new CON
tract, as transcending any eco
omic conditions which may be
involved. In short, the NLRB
appears quite willing to tell an
employer that, even if the de-
mands Of a union threaten to
bankrupt him. he cannot seek
another location where wage de-
mands would be lower. Or, if he
does move elsewhere, he must
then take along his union work
force. lock-stock-and- barrel, at
his own expense.
If this seems far-fetched take
a look at what the NLRB has
done to Sidele Fashions, Inc.
which for 20 years operated a
blouse factory-with union labor
