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.""
This South Carolina Game and Fish
association is sponsoring still another
game conference, but, it is not "just
another game conference."
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.
The duration of the conference y
be for one day, with morning, afta
noon and evening programs, in m
forenoon about three talks' will 1
heard; in the afternoon group disci
elons and conferences; and in U
evening a banquet and two or nux
guest speakers. ^
Such tdplcs as the bob white qua]
the migratory dove, the native ffl
turkey will be heard; -forestry, tl
value of cover and food; the
culture of the bladk bass and bhl
gill bream, will be discussed. A i
tlonal authority will discuss the s
gratory waterfowl, especially tfi
duck. There will be the presentatk
of an ideal state program by a'ltii
official who has already i^ade a is
cess with an ideal state program.
The officials of; the association bi
lleve this conference will be the grei
est convention ever attempted eitht
in South Carolina or the South, u
that hundreds of sportsmen will gad
er in Columbia on that eventful da
in April. Keep April 16 opfiJt ^
