LOCAL SPORTSMEN SPEAK AT BANQUET AT NORTHAMPTON
The Northampton Rod St Oun Club's annual meeting and banquet was held at Northampton Monday evening with at least one hundred and fifty members in attendance.
In addition to movies on game hunting and Ashing the club secured two of our local sportsmen, H. P. Yeisley and Oeorge Orim. as .speak¬ ers for the occasion. Matters con¬ cerning the welfare of Pennsylvania .sportsmen were thorouglily discuss¬ ed; particularly the question that now becomes a big problem and one of tlie first to be attacked by Tlie Federation of locai Sport.snien.
