An increase in hunting cards in the face of falling revenues

The Vierville–Saint-Laurent hunting society held its general meeting on a Saturday evening, before the opening of the season. It had sixty members on a territory of 590 hectares, ten percent of them in reserve.

President René Lenourichel announced that the membership card would increase to 600 francs and that a release of pheasants would be removed. These decisions responded to a decrease in revenues: meals and evenings organized by the company had yielded fewer profits. The previous year, 40,000 francs of pheasants and partridges had been released.

The president recalled the need to respect fences and barriers and to pick up empty sockets. The shooting of the hare was to be allowed only on Sundays; the company had twelve rings that year. The partridge hunt was to close on November 7. A sauerkraut meal was announced for December 5th.
