In ~ffdaicion to marking the opening of the first part of the annual’ woodcock season, it also marks the beginning of the grouse or partridge season in certain sec tions of the State. For the first time in many years the Conservation Depar*- ment is authorized to'- set the open season on grouse. A change in the Conservation L$w made at the last session of the legislature di rected the Department to fix a grouse season each year of not less than 15 days and not more than 45 days, the season to be ad justed as far as practicable to the ,, woodcock season which is pro claimed annually by the Federal ■ Government. * The woodcock season in New York State embraces three zones rand three periods of time. In .-that portion of the State lying ...north of the .tracks of the main Juie of the New York Central .

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Seholl of East Main Street, enlisted in the United States Navy on September 14_gnj is now stationed at the Receiving Station at South Brooklyn. Miss Nancy Coates last week received from Captain Hans Rice, U.S.A., stationed in Alaska, the following letter written him by Annalee Jacoby in reply to in inquiry *he sent regarding Col onel Carlton L. Vanderboget. She and her husband, Melville Jacoby, were Life correspondents nnd photographers in the Phillipines who escaped to Australia, where he was killed in an airplane crash. Miss Goates has heard from two army nurses who were with Col. Vanderboget on Bataan, of his being wounded twice after the date on which the Jacoby’s last saw hi»»:, so that Mrs. Ja coby’s reassurances as to his health are not the latest news. August 18 *241 Copa de Oro West Los Angeles, Calif. Dear C a p t Rice: Your letter was just forward ed on to me from Australia. Wish I could tell you more about Col Vanderboget, who is one of the finest people we met, but of course there hasn’t been any word from Bataan or Corregidor since the occupation. I can make a lot of pretty reliable guesses, though. We met him at the Bataan hos pital, where he was healthy and Lost 1 4 4 5 5 S happy and doing phenomenally wonderful work. Everyone loved him. lHe had over three thousand patients out in the middle of tha jungle, and every one was get ting excellent care. When Bataan fell, all the Medical Corps men decided to stay with their pa tients. - The hospital 'was far enough back from actual fighting that I could guarantee nothing happened in the line of brutality or'killing. He had several Jap anese patients who were so grate ful for the care they’d b^en given that they talked constantly of wanting to repay the kindness he’d, shown them. If^he was in Bataan when itfe ll, he was prob ably taken prisoner quite peace fully and is probably working aa before with a fair amount of. freedom- in -a- hospital; - If— he-got- down-to'Cebu, as a very few did to set up a second hospital there, the situation would be the s&mo. -Therc-were-a-lot of doctors and nurses in-^Manila when it was oc cupied. Last we heard they were workingJn-^ianiIa,'.Kospital3r'car- ing for Americans, Filipinos,\ and i Japanese, under much the same conditions as before the war. The Colonel—would-'be^extrem'ely val- uable to the Japanese; I ’m posi tive he’s getting every considera tion. We saw him last about tke middle of February. His health was fine, and I’m positive is still. We know absolutely about evpry case of illness or injury to the Medical Corps. Ife>^as perfectly all right I don’t blame you -lor being worried — but>-I— absolutely positive that he’s saflfr, healthy and busy. The Medical Corps will be technically prisoners of wav, but they’ll be the privileged class. You can be awfully proud of him; he was absolutely swell. Hope they manage something soon with exchange of prisoners. They’ve accomplished nothing yet, but they’re trying. Have you fcotten in touch with any of thn nurses who left.Bataan after we did? They could tell you more —there’s Kay Acorn in bourne; Juanita Redmond, months. Should anyone care to write, the cartoon, drawn below, will show the extent of my inter est. Cpl.

Dear Friends: Have been getting your Courier \ paper right along and again I want to thank you for sftnding it it to me. I sure enjoy it very much. I It lets me know what my friend3 and pals are doing back in the . good old town of Palmyra. This j is sure a wide open country up | here.
