Furthermore, the attendance exceeded expectations with file ticket sale' and box office totaling $944176 against a budget of $78,000.

Other important factors were the fine assistance bn ticket tales by the Long Beach Convention and News Bureau and the good working conditions at file Long Beach Arena.

Morton demanding that a ii be-placed on lead shot because feeding waterfowl pick up spent lead shot and die of lead poisoning.

Kimballs demand followed a report that the State of Maryland was considering a ban on leaf shot for the earrent, or rather, the approaching waterfowl season. Morton, whose departmetf sets fte hunting regulations for migratory birds, took notiee of the demand by KhnbaUaid said that a pOot program wodd he set np on selected federal, hating areas this fall where lroa shot weald bo ased exclusively as a sahstttnte for lead la dock and goose hunting.

Winchester said that it had studied the use of such materials as gold, silver, copper, pure iron, iron penning and zinc.

Believe it or not, but gold proved to be the most nearly imBfotteaiiy perfect substitute for lead shot Obviously, the cost factor ruled out the use of that metal. Had it beat possible, use of gold would have led to some rather ridiculous hunting.
