Explains Statutes To Conservationists Conservation Laws Changed By Assembly Several new eututea of interest to conservationists were explained today by Adams county conservation officer Jack Hurst. Hurst pointed out first that war veterans still could obtain hunting and fishing licenses free. He pointed out that the proposed measure to abolish this practice was defeated in the recent general assembly. One new measure makes water a natural resource and abolishes the riparian rights theory, replacing it with the law of beneficial use. The statute recognises the use of water for fish and wildlife. Another newly enacted law provides for the establishment of a commission to properly mark the birthplace of Wilbur Wright. Amendments to the conservancy district law were made part of a prior law, Hurst pointed out. A new method of petitioning for establishment of a district with a minimum of 500 signers was a main part of the amendment. Another new measure requires permits to ship bees in 1 hives or cones into the state. This measure Is to protect against the spread of disease. Previously Sunday hunting with air guns and bows and arrows was permitted. A new law prohibits Sunday hunting with any type of firearms or killing instrument. Another measure creates a volunteer forest fighters service for Indiana. Another measure restricts the killing of hawks and owls, only when they are destroying poultry, and then only by the owner of the poultry in question. Several other minor statutes also in the conservation category also were passed, Hurst said. CHILDREN DIE (Continued from Page One) have started from it. The husband, John, also was at the Admore school at the time of the fatal fire. He had gone there to haul some trash. • -■■ -r,,- -nj ---i- ■ --j Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
