LARGE CONFERENCE PLANNED There have been many calls for sportsmen to get together for a conference. Many times groups have been assembled, talksi heard, resolutions passed, all in the good Interest of game and fish conservation . and restoration.""

The conference will meet in Columbia, because Columbia is the most accessible town in the state for all the sportsmen. This meeting might be termed a "spring rally," donating the season of the year, but we prefer the term "state game conference." Nationally known speakers will be on the program. The most capable technicians and game experts in America will meet with South Carolinians and aid in the association's plan. Consider the best qualified men you know of or have read about and wonder if they will be In Columbia. This conference is sponsored by the association for the hunters and fisher^ men of the state. While out-of-staters have already signified their intention of coming to the conference, it is primarily for every interested South Carolinian, whether he be a member of this association or not. This is not going to be an appeal for money. The conference is being V -T! financed privately.
