able for a moment, and then de-
cided to put a brave face on it.
"It's like this," he said, "you
never seem to havb any clothes:
you're always up in the air, and
you keep on harping."

Mr. Meadows, in answer to
questions, explained the pur-
pose underlying the fishing and
hunting regulations and point-
ed out that such regulations,
while seemingly restrictive,
were, in most cases, made nec-
essary due to the carelessness
of individual hunters. .
