Hooper, 1938 Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Jan 31, the Association. He cordially took us 'in tow' and presented #us (#) to the other men and (#) with some desirable information. 'Methods of shoot: No sides chosen this year; the competitive spirit was diminished but not lacking. About 20 men shot birds; 30 (#) at dinner afterwards. Instead of a barbecue, as in 1936, the group met at 'Jones Place' a restaurant and saloon in Angles. Each man purchased his own meal at 50¢ per. Afterwards, there apparently was to be an official meeting of the Association. We were on hand at 6 PM with Mr. Grillo. The first hunters to come in arrived at about 6:15, the last about 7:30. Jays were brought in (contained on string- like line of fish - in paper bags and burlap on the floor- sacks) and dumped with or without ceremony" but always with such remarks as 'How many, Frank, Joe,' etc. Apparently their hunger drive was much stronger than their curiosity to get the total count for the day, because at 7:30 they all retired to the 'dining room' and we were left to count the birds and, finally, with more hardselling, flattering words, etc., to take our leave.
