A serious problem confronts the

Year after year there are more
hunters and fishermeh and year af-

The State issues hunting and
fishing licenses but its up to the in-
dividual to find a place where he or
she may hunt or fish.
True, our State Game
ion is accomplishing a
work by the purchase of land for]
game and fich together
with purchasing many thousand of
acres upon which people may
hunt and fish. If it were not for
this, we feel certain the would
