OF 1LIH.10 The second organizational ; meeting of all bird hunters and ZLrZTZ Th: s X livan City Hall, Thursday, Oct. 10th, 7:30 p. m., under sponsorship of the Sullivan Conserva tion Club J. J. EUinger of the Indiana Department of Conservation's public relations staff, will ad dress the meeting, bringing a timely message of importance to all conservationists as well as bird hunters in this area. Mr. Ellinger will discuss local prob lems with hunters and outline the needs pertaining to an effective restocking program which will produce results. The shortage of game birds in this area has been of great concern to hunters for the past few years and was more noticeable last year due to adverse weather destroying natural hatchings in the fields. Propagation has been carried on by Conservation Clubs for several years, but their efforts have been hard won due to releasing birds too young to forage for themselves. Under the new holding program adopt, ed by the Indiana Department of Conservation, a lower mortality ' ia. ped for'.

GIRL SCOUTS 10 OPEN OK FOR MORE MEMBERS

The basis and principles of the Girl Scout organization were stated, today by local leaders in the opening of their drive to re organize Girl Scouting in Sulli van. I The Question "Why We Have j Girl Sconts," was posed and answered for the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with the organization. .The leaders stated that the thing that first brought Girl Scouting into being was a sincere desire on the nart of a 'group of girls to be useful. They knew they must learn how to do a great many things and to work , with other people if they were to be truly helpful. This was the reason given for the -Girl Scouts trying to do things in groups. Mrs. William Ryan, local Girl You Scout leader, stated today. ' cannot spend your life all by yourself and do what you please j whenever you please. You live ln a world wlth many other 'human beings, all ages, many colors, creeds and nationalities and you have to learn to understand them and work with them. "It is more 1 interesting," said Mrs. Ryan, rtto work with others , than to do things alone. Besides, you get more ideas by doing things together. An old saying runs 'if I give you a dollar and you give me a dollar, we each have a dollar, but if I give you an idea and you give . me an idea, we each have two ideas.' "Girl Scouting is built upon the belief that girls want to do their $ull share of the world's workboth in actual labor and in thought. It is built upon the- belief that to do one's share of the work it is necessary to learn what people need, to be willing to help with those needs and to learn to be of real service," Mrs. Ryan concluded. STATE POLICEMAN ARRESTS MAN HERE AFTER LINTON WRECK O. G. Horning, 66, of R.
