Cheaper To Obey State Game I Laws Than Pay Fines It is getting more and more expensive to violate the game and fish laws in Georgia, ac¬ cording to Fred Brewer, assist¬ ant director of the State Game and Fish Commission. Brewer pointed out that in June a total of 83 persons paid $2,213.90 for violating the regu¬ lations. Fifteen had been sein¬ ing, costing them $341. Two basket fishermen paid $55. Three people hunted deer out of season and paid $250. Three people were hunting doves over a baited field and paid $225. Twelve hunted doves out of sea¬ son and forfeited $575. One person was selling fish without a license, which cost him $22.50, and 45 were caught without fishing license to the tune of $517.20. “A brief analysis of the fines” Brewer stated, “would ~— show -— that ij would have been far cheaper for these persons to have the law. In addition, many the cases were violations which deplete our game and fish badly. “It isn’t just a 'question of breaking a law. These violators were taking natural resources which belong to each of us and are the rightful heritage of our children.” Baptist Leaders Check of Relief A half dozen Southern Baptist pastor and leaders are traveling in as many different directions to make a first-hand study of world conditions.
