Walton League Chapter Hears Gallipolis Attorney

POMEROY The Meigs Chapter of the Izaak Walton League held its fifth annual banquet at Sacred Heart Church for 70 members and wives.

He noted Ohio licenses total about 800,000 for hunting and fishing in 1949, urging preservation of breeding stock. Mrs. George Hackett Sr and Miss Dorothy Gloeckner led 26 Sacred Heart Church volunteers in the banquet, with past president Rue Tuckerman and Byron Hayman speaking. 2,500 more trees arrived for planting on the Izaak Walton Farm.
