Propose Game Law Revision in Pennsylvania Legislature
Harrisburg March 5 Seven proposals to change Pennsylvania hunting and trapping laws, including a complete revision of the game code, await decision in the House game committee. Measures would prohibit quail hunting during the 1937 open season, add a scent bounty on crows, create a special archery season for deer and bears in reserved areas, and restrict firing within 200 yards of occupied buildings or highways, among other items. A plaque in the capitol would honor Dr Joseph Kalbfus, first secretary of the state game commission. Also listed are a sales ad for used cars and trucks from Thomas Motor Co.

Pennsylvania Chief forester George H Wirt notes that despite many proposed fire extinction methods and a statewide network of 144 forest observation towers, current hand labor, axes, rakes, pumps and plain water remain the most effective and affordable tools. He cites prohibitive costs and limited success for chemical or explosive approaches and warns against unproven “sure cures” despite a 100000 dollar state appropriation for experiments.
