The Cunxbeiland region of the Poto

one—has left something to the
world.”

Public Service Their Aim
It is the note of this service that
I resounds throughout the A'anderlip
I family. For the former president of
the National City Bank of New
York, nearljr 60, has reached the
age when leisure and ease would be
the normal choice. Yet he has given
up the comforts of his beautiful
Beechwood surroundings to live in
Washington and undertake an ex
pose of corruption and inefficiency
in our government.
Mrs. Vanderlip, too, has been de
voting hex' time to public service in
woman's affairs. They both hope
that their children will carry on.

CHANGES IN STATE
EH LI VITAL.
TWITTY DECLARES
A sub-committee of the legislative
committee on game and fish will meet
in the office of the game and fish
commissio x on June 5, to draft a bill
making numerous changes in the
present laws, it was announced Mon
day by Peter S. Twitty, state game
and fish commissioner. M.ny mem«
be.rs of the general legislative coms
mittee attended a conference witlf
oyster and prawn packers in Bruns
wick last week. Mr. Twitty said.
It Is the plan to change the fish«
ing law so as to afford greater pro
tection to the oyster and prawn pack«
ers, and to require them to replant
the beds along the coast, Commis
sioner Twitty declared. The oystes
packers have recently formed an as
sociation and have agreed to an in
crease in the state license fee, if bet
ter protection against poaching is as»
forded them.
Commissioner Twitty declared that
Georgia hats untold wealth along its
coast, but. the oyster beds are being
ruined by the failure to replant theofl
As the result of replanting and
state laws, Maryland received SIVY’
000 from its fishing industry last
year, Virginia received $112,000, anc|
North Carolina $98,000, while Geor
gia collected only $4,845, Mr. Twitty
stated.
It is probable that the legislature
will be asked to appropriate a small
sum of money to replant oyster beds,
’t is said. North Carolina appropriat
ed $20,000 for this purpose two years
ago, and $500,000 at the last session,
Mr. Twitty declared that oysters can
be planted at a cost of five cents pe»
bushel. At this rate $20,000 would
plant 400,000 bushels, which would
produce 2,400,000 bushels, wertij
$240,000, in three years, It was said.
