County Clerk Norman. Miller was authorized to follow uji the wire with it letter on Friday and go into ,detail on the protest. It wilt, pointed out that the pro- test , is being made particularly in view of the.fact that the County , Council passed a resolution in January of this year requesting that therebe no open deer season in this county. Ats the time that this resoletion was passed members of the County Council stated there were not enough deer in Huron county to warrant anopen shooting season and, furthermore, that they were doing no harm anyway. If any- thing, it was claimed, the deer were actually beneficial in that • they helped with the fall wheat by cropping it. It wast also pointed • out that valuablelivestock were killed by careless hunters mistak- ing them for deer. And, finally, it was stated that some hunters were not very careful in handling • farmers'. property, cleaving gates open and breaking down fences. Warden Shaddick eXpressed the belief that ninety pet cent. of the ratepayers of Huron Would dis- approve. of an open deer hunting Season in this county, RELIGIODS PICTURE • aitqw,a AZIIDX-ILS grea religious sound -niotion picture "The King -of- Kings" held the rapt attentitna of a large congregation in • Knox, resbyterian _church after the regul vening'servic-e -on -Sunday.
