NOTED RIVERMAN DEAD York, Nov. 16—Death has come to 72-year-old Ben Sipe, the river- man whose knowledge of currents and drift of the Susquehanna River and nearby streams has been credited with saving nearly 100 lives. The City of York re- cently set aside a day known as commission, warns hunters that “imprisonment, in addition to the payment of fines and revocation of hunting licenses, appears ne- cessary to stop some habitual vio- lators.” “We will have no hesitancy in pressing for imprisonment where that is necessary,” Leffler says. “Game law violators must be stopped.” He cites examples of two hunt- ers, one in Bradford Co. and the other in Clinton Co., convicted and imprisoned for second and third violations of the game laws. Special Stamps On Hand At Post Office Commemorative Stamps are new available at the local post office.
