The State Game and Fish Com
mission has arranged with
"Jiggs" Jenkins of Port Ma
hon for duck hunters to launch
their boats from "Jiggs"
launching ramp for a nominal
fee of (50) fifty cents.
What special refuge regula-
lions will be In effect7
Kelly Island will be open to
waterfowl hunting during the
regular duck and goose hunting
season, bag limits and shoot
ing hours will be the same as
elsewhere in Delaware. The re-
'fuge will maintain an entry and
exit checking station at Port
Mahon where all hunters must
obtain written permit before
entering the hunting area.
Thirty blinds have been con-
structed by the refuge and will
be available to hunters on a
first come first served basis
at the checking station. A map
and copies of the hunting area
regulations may be obtained by
writing to the Bombay Hook
National Wildlife Refuge, R. D.
l, Box l47, Smyrna, Delaware.
This falls special regu-
lations are those being tested
during the first year of public
waterfowl hunting at Bombay
Hook. The number of hunters
wishing to use the area aud
their conduct, may or may not
dictate change In future refugees

ownership.
Where will the ducks and
geese be found; where will they
be hunted7
These public wetlands, both
Federal and State, will ofneces-
sity, have to support the vast
bulk of the waterfowl popula-
don and its harvest.
The Bombay Hook National
Wildlife Refuge was establish
ed In 1887 primarily as ref
uge for waterfowl during the
hunting season. Now with the
recent addition of l,043 acres
to the refuge and planned fu-
ture additions, the Bureau Of
Sport Fisheries and Wildlife car
permit hunting on part of the
refuge. With these additional
wetlands, we can permit hunt
ing while still adequately pro-
tecting the birds during the
hunting season, and at the same
time preserve waterfowl and
their habitat for future gener-
atoms.
Under present law the Secre-
tary of Interior may open tc
40% of a refuge to waterfowl
hunting. The maximum possible
acreage of the wetlands which
the Bureau is acquiring in the
State of Delaware will be oper
to public hunting whenever the
waterfowl population is in a
reasonably healthy condition

There is a great deal OF
discussion and space being
gwen to hate and hate
groups and some are busy
trying to absolve themselves
of any blame for either the
Presidents assassination or
the situation which contrlbut-
ed to it. 8

the admitted Marxist leanings
of Lee Harvey Oswald, the
presumed killer of MIR. Ken

ger within, what it has been
talking about all along. get

on Communism, his critics
have been telling u.s.
Others point to the Extreme
Right as being responsible
for creating an atmosphere or
climate of public opinion IN
which such a crime and ira
gedy could happen, specifl-
cally in holding up Mr.. Ken
nedy as a Communist SYM
pathizer as some extremists
have done right here in Mis-
sissippi. (Some actually be-
lieved this.)
We say the extremists on
both sides of the fence, right
and left, should get back on
a sane and sensible course,
and start acting like civilized
people.
The same man who is &C
cused of killing the President
also boasted of taking a shot
at former Major General Ed
win Walker at his home in
Dallas, according to his own
wife. It would be hard to
imagine anyone any more
far Right Wing than Mr..
Walker - the man who just
said we have not had "a real
American" as president fol
the past four terms and who
flew American flags upside
down on his lawn.
The lessen is plain - the
same gun shoots in both di-
rections and the result is the
same = death.
Our government and oul
democratic society canno
stand forever against about
organized, irresponsible as.
Saults against it, whether
from the far right or left.

space this week. We hope al.

TOKYO, April 18.-The new
crisis in Laos indicates that
though on rare occasions a
camel and a water buffalo can
pull the same pillow, adding a
mule of the stubborn Com
munist variety just doesn't
work.
Last July, IA nations with
such diverse political tendencies
as neutralist Cambodia, Com
munist Russia and China, and
the United States and Britain
approved a troika style gov
eminent for the little Southeast
Asian kingdom of Laos.
This unlikely coalition is
undergoing its greatest test, a
Communist attempt to wipe
out the neutralist factions out
numbered army. 1t may be a
prelude to dissolution of the
government.
The Laotian pillow, under the
Geneva arrangement, is led
by the neutralist camel driven
by Premier Prince Souvanna
