Palmer of the D e p a rt m ent of Conservation. This mounting desire for places to fish and hunt can be satisfied only by spending more money, Palmer says. He favors enactment of pending General Assembly bills which would add $1 to the charge for resident hunting and fishing licenses. Much of whatever additional funds were obtained by, higher fees would be used for buying and developing more access areas along lakes and streams. Palmer points out. at 8 p.m.. pgin his Frank Ledger and Mrs. Hal As- j munity church, under the sponpinall of Lake Geneva, Wis., also j sorship of the Women's Council of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Lawrence and sons, Donald and James, of Whitewater, Wis., and Mrs, Lawrence York of Zenda, Wis.
