SPORTSMEN PLAN _
PICTURE LECTURE
On Evening of Monday, Febru-
ary the Seventh.
PATTON FOLKS SHOULD SEE
Comes Here Under Direction of the
Board of Game Commissioners
at Harrisburg.
On the evening of Manday, Febru-
ary Tth, under the auspices of the Pat.
ton Sportsmen’s association, the Ed-
ucational Service of the Game Com-
missioners at Harrisburg will pre-
sent Mr. Norman W. Wood who will
deliver a lecture on “Activities of the
Pennsylvania Game Commission.”
Reels of motion pictures, depicting
wild animal life as well as many an-
imated scenes of hunting will be ex
hibited. There will be no charge for
the lecture. The Educational Service
is furnished from moneys derived
through the Hunters’ License Fund.
Mr. Woods talk is the result of
long and practical experience with the
Game Commission. He entered the
employ of the Game Commission in
1915 as a County Game Protector.
Four years later he was promoted to
the rank of district game protector,
then became a field supervisor. Be-
cause of educational duties perform-
ed during his duties afield, he was se-
lected last June as a member of the
Educational service, of which Geo. M.
Sutton, is chief.
Wood has served on several leading
newspapers of the state. He has been
a life long friend of the Great Out-
doors and has always taken a keen in-
terest in the preservation of benefi-
cial wild life. In enforcing the game
laws laid down by the Game Commis-
sion he always has advocated that the
“Spirit” of the law, instead of the
“red letter” be administered. He has
assisted the sportsmen in launching
many game, fish and forestry associa-
tions, bird clubs and boy scout move-
southeastern
section of the state and was founder
of the Chester County Rod and Gun
Club, one of the most active indepen-
dent conservation organizations in the
country today.
He will discuss some of the best
means of conserving beneficial wild-
life; methods of establishing game’
refuges; programs for winter feeding
regulation of vermin; open season for
game, trapping devices; the need of
public hunting lands, and many oth-
