Every Hunter Gets Duck on Milford Marsh
Milford, Dee 4 Special A hunter for every duck was the verdict yesterday as hunters flocked Milford Point. The breakwater below Laurel Beach served as the meeting point for huntsmen.

An arc light at the point, turned off for law compliance during two cars’ approach from the west, was reactivated. Mrs Ommich Cole and a companion were within 25 feet of the vehicle when emergency brakes were applied and a woman was crushed beneath the car.
