With the opening of the three

ment made by chief of police
John w. Jacobs, Jr The Smyr

ards of school days, and chief
Jacobs stressed that to kinder
gartners and to many first grad
erS it is their initial experience
in going to school and return

be taught to stay on the side

proper crosswalks, to obey sig

gard of such precautions, chief
Jacobs said in an interview the
day before school opening. In
this important task, mothers
and teachers carry the greater
portion of the load, but every
citizen must be alert to do his
or her share, he continued. Mr..
Jacobs emphasized that older
children must be reminded that
they are back in school and
that with greater numbers ai
pupils on the streets at certain
times Of day, careful obServ-
ance Of the rules must replace
the independence and freedom
of the summer days. The Smyr
ma Police Department requests
the cooperation Of all motorists
in making the streets safe for
young and old. 1t is not enough
to teach a child the proper way
to use our streets, only to have
the youngster moved down by
some impatient and careless mo

problem if each and every driV-
er of a car or truck would be
courteous and considerate of

Season Predicted for Upland
Hunters by Game 4 Fish Commission

Upland game hunters should
enjoy another excellent season
this year. This prediction is
based on field observations of
the Delaware Game and Fish
Commission.
Rabbit, quail, pheasant and
squirrel have experienced an
excellent breeding season. Re-
ports indicate that dove popula-
tions continue at a high peak.
The deer herd continues to
grow, especially in southern
Delaware.
Waterfowl hunters will find
a continued abundance of geese.
The situation with ducks is not
so favorable. A generally poor
breeding season for black ducks
will put fewer of these birds
into the Atlantic flyway this
fall, hence, the reduction to
only two black ducks in the
daily bag of three and sunrise
to sunset shooting hours.
Black Duck populations have
continued to decline during the
last few years in the Atlantic
flyway. Contrary to an opinion
widely held by duck hunters,
it appears that the gunners in
this flyway are taking too heavy
a toll of the black duck to per-
NIT its numbers to increase.
Other waterfowl arriving in
Delaware from the central Can
adian provinces will probably
be reduced in number due to
extreme draught conditions in
this area.

readily grant permission to hunt

Put yourself in the other fell

of good hunting.
