win*?WEEKLY BULLETIN ?T~. i. S.C.Game Association - m Wk. 7/iru Si a It'tonle (wpe ration uame. ViMNMMT The Need of Organization A disorganized majority hus never accomplished anything. On the other hand a well organized minority has and can accomplish what it undei takes. We have in South Carolina approximately three hundred thousand people who hunt and lish more or less regularly. It is safe to say that a great majority of these people look upon hunting and Ashing as the Indians did?a God given right, and expeot a bountiful supply that will somehow replenish itself each year with no thought or care from any human source. Their motto js "The Lord will provide." Oh the other hand thero is a very sizable minority of these hunters and -fishermen who are giving thought to the morrow; who are concerned about the outlook for the future, in the face of this thoughtless majority these men and women feel that their, voice of protest against the abuses and unsatisfactory laws is like u lost "voice crying in the wilderness." > This is only too true, but we over. look the fact that there are many voices crying in many wildernesses. If all of these voices were gathered into one chorus, the result would be a howl that would startle the worljl? and perhaps reform it. The South Carolina Game and Fish Association docs not want to reform the world or even attempt to do so. It does feel, however, that its proper function is to organize the thinking hunter and fishermen of the state into a chorus whose voice will be heard and listened to by those in authority and who are charged with the making of the laws. A membership in our association of this unorga nized minority would wield such influence and power that we would soon see a material change in the status of our game and flsh supply. The legislature in the past j has never been educated or sold on the necessity of legislation pertaining i to game and flsh. It has been difficult for the officials of this association to even get a hearing before the full committees on game and'flsh in the legislature, and it has been practically impossible to get any legislation actually through the legislature. The reason for this is that we have not been strong enough to command their attention, even with the help of the interested minority of the legislature itaelf. The objective of the association is at least ten thousand members before the legislature convenes. To obtain this fffeVmust have the wholehearted support of the thinking I sportsmen of the state, We want an active local chapter in every county. We must interest one or more men l in jach county enough to undertake I the organization of such a chapter. | The cause is a worthy one, and obl taining members is an easy job. It j is only necessary to ask the average ! man to join, and you will And that he really wants to become a member. , Like so many of us, he's only been waiting for somebody to ask him. The membership cards and application blanks are now ready for distribution. They are bound in books of twenty-five each. They are simple to fll( out. They are easy .to get. Take part in this worthy movement by writing to West Jacocks, Secretary, care Chamber of Commerce, Columbia, S. C., for one of these books. Do your part and get twenty-five members for the association. ' ' ' 1 I ! i _ Typhoon Does Great Damage In Manila Manila, P. I., Oct. 1(5.?A roaring typhoon ripped through Manila today with increasing^ intensity, causing great property damage and probable loss of life. All telephone service was disrupted. Water flooded the city, reaching a depth of several feet in many places. Electric powj?r service was broken. Huge waves rolled before the disturbance, surging over Dewey boulevard and flooding Escolta street, main shopping district of the city. Water was several feet deep in parts of the old walled city which is on the left bank of the Pasig where the river enters the bay. Several sugar centrals, in the interior wore reported damaged. Many coconut groves were ruined. Telegraphic traffic with the United States was maintained over the Commercial Pacific cables. Four vessels were driven on the rocks off Dewey boulevard. They included the freighter Atlantic Gulf and the Steamer Starita. The Tondo slum section of the city presented a scene of complete devastation, with hundreds of thatched huts blown over and huge acacia trees uprooted. An Omaha, Neb., woman returned to her home. She couldn't get in. She had -misplaced her key. She sent in a fire alarm. The firemen came. She explained. They hoisted a ladder and went in a second-floor window.

Highway Still Open In North Carolina Charlotte, N. G\, Oct. 16.?Closing of Tennessee'** entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains "National Park on November 1 will in no way affect entrance to the Park from North Carolina's entrance, according to E. W. Powers, chief travel counsellor of the Carolina Motor club. Announcement has been made by the National Park service that the Tennessee section of the Newfound (lap highway will be closed to travel from November 1 until sometime next spring. Heavy grading near the state line makes it impossible to keep the road open for several months. The closed section is designated as Route 71 from its junction with Route 73 to Newfound Gap. Motorists who wish to view the wonders of the Great Smokies this I winter may reach the peak of the | mountains over a splendid highway ! not affected by construction or dej tours by going to Asheville, thence I over U. S. Route 19 to Els, N. C., | and from there over N. C. Route 107 to the top of the mountains and to Indian and Newfound Gap. I Many thousands of visitors motored through both the Tennessee and North Carolina entrances this season and indications at Carolina Motor club offices and other travel offices of American Automobile association clubs are that many southbound motorists are planning to include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park area in their pilgrimage south this winter. Information that the North Carolina entrances will be open and are , not affected by the work on the Tennessee side has been furnished all AAA travel offices by the Carolina Motor club and national headquarters. United States Ambassador Wm. C. Bullitt, stationed at Moscow, has started for home to spend the Christmas holidays.

I Winter Begins In The New England States " Boston, Oct. IS,?Now Englandera did their weekend shopping in winter wear tonight as the worst early-season blizzard In history moderated to an accompaniment 61 falling temperatures and forecast of a clear, cold Sunday. , The Boston weather bureau, which pointed out that this morning's low of 32 degrees was the hub's most frigid October 13 in 59 years, predicted the mercury would drop even lower tonight. \ Snow continued to fall in parts of northern New England but in most of the northeast the blizzard had softened into a light rain, expected to clear during the night. Starting meekly in flurries on Columbus'day afternoon; the snowfall increased during the night and morning, leaving a record for the d^te of .040 inches in Boston and blocking highways in northern sections with drifts that in some places exceeded a foot. *' V . ? Unofficial readings from the north showed 14 inches of sno\v at North Adams in the Berkshires, 12 inches at Northfleld, 12 inches at Mount Washington, N. H., ten inches at Ossipee, N. H., 14 inches at Presque Isle, Maine, ten inches at Caribou, Maine, and 12 inches at Mount Pico, Vt. At some of these points the mercury dropped to as low as ten above. Most serious property damage from the blizzard was the threatened ruin of about a fifth of Maine's j bumper potato crop of 53,805,000 bushels. Shipping was menaced as the blizzard swept out to,, sea, and at least threo craft were reported in distress during the day. At Portsmouth, R. I., the tanker Antietam, which grounded at the entrance of Mount Hope bay, was refloated after part of its cargo of 75,000 barrels of oil had been removed. Coast guards at Newport, R. I., battled five hours to reach and rescue William and Thomas Harrington, Fall River men marooned overnight on West IsTa"h?l off Sakonet point in the storm. They suffered from exposure. Tonight, Point Allerton and City Point coast guards searched off Boston for the 30-foot sloop Contoy, missing from Hingman Yacht club with Melvin Waite of South Weymouth aboard. The sloop is equipped with an auxiliary motor, but this cannot be used in a swell. ( Ducks Are Arriving Sooner Winter ducks are flying earlier than usual this year and already a number are back in their old habitats in the Low country, according to reports received by E. Milby Burton, director of the Charleston museum, says the News and Courier. Mr. Burton said that the first mallards and black ducks were reported last Thursday by T. W. Hutson Nieuport plantation and McLeod at Twickenham plantation, both on the Combahee river in Beaufort county. Since then they have been sighted in increasing numbers. Mr. Burton said that while the ducks are not here a great deal earlier than usual, it is extremely unusual for them to be here this early this year, because severe weather is not I ahead of time in the North. Pintails also have been seen. The spoonbills and mallards spend their summers mostly in Northwest Alberta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The black ducks are chiefly from La bra dor. Mr. Byrton has no explanation for the early arrivals. "In fact." he said. "ducks are about as hard to figure as anything you can imagine. You think sometimes that you have learned something that will upset- your theories entirely." He would not venture to say whether the early arrivals would indicate a bigger season than ordinarily, nor would he comment on reports that the numbers will be smaller than usual because of the drought. "We'll just have to wait and see how many come our way," he explained. The mallards, blacks and pintails are the most common in this section. The pintails come South later than the others and fly North earlier. The duck season will open November 8 and last until January 13. An experimental season has been ordered this winter. For the first time in history hunting will bo restricted to three days a week?Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Last year the season opened November 16 and lasted until January 15, but hunting was allowed every day. The NRA's new governing board has fixed the price at which popular brands of cigarettes are to be sold at 13 cents a package or two for a quarter, this price holding until January 11. The American Federation of Labor at its San Francisco convention, has adopted resolutions pledging to use all of its powrr to establish the 30hour week on a five day basis in the hope of increasing employment. Two former Communist party leaders and a teacher have been condemned to death after court martial at Tashkent, Russia, after the trial had revealed Oriential debaucheries of a shocking character in the Kanvichak agricultural school. Eight others were given long prison sentences, i The specific crime was assaults on school girls. tpssBBesmaasssssam-. m * NOTICE OF ELECTION State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw.
