Doe License Sale Sparks Outcry Across Counties
The Journal reports license shortages outran demand in several counties. In Warren County Mrs. Florence Hoffman listed 400 licenses for sale but received about 15,000 applications with antlerless tags selling out on day one. Pennsylvania hunters secured most licenses, leaving none for out of state applicants and rumors of resales could not be verified. Erie County treasurer Neil McLaughlin noted 6,000 licenses were sold out by mid November and Crawford County saw similar excess demand with no nonresident allocations. In Christchurch New Zealand Captain Euan Dickson, first to fly between islands, completed a later flight at age 78, fifty years after his 1920 cross.
