To Protect Does
In Clare County
A group of sportsmen and others
of this area are, circulating peli-
tions in Clare County, urging the
Clare County Board of Supervisors
and the Michigan Department of
Conservation to continue present
protection for doe deer,
They feeh that although there
have been reports of deer starving
in the extreme north ends of Clare
and Gladwin Counties because of
lack of food, the condition does not
warrant the passage of law permit*
ting the shooting of does by how

Petitions signers belie've that
"the" economy of piare County is
dependent to a very great extend
on the attractions . nature offers
to the tourists in this area; and
that our deer herds are a' major
part of this appeal to tourists
throughout the year.'
They do not beiieve thai Clare
