and Conservation Clubs.
Speaking on behalf of the fed
Grafton as we'll as president of the
Rehoboth Sportsman Club, he says,
| This proposal is ridiculous, espe-
cially when it is claimed tn e
Petersburg Refuge is less valu-
able land than the present prison
site in New Castle County
1.-The federation is whoIe-heart-

another stated site not as valuable
as the Petersburg Refuge"
