THE FIRST FEDERAL duck stamp was created by nationally syndicated cartoonist Jay N. "Ding"' Darling, and issued in 1934. The Migratory Bird Conservation Act was enacted by Congress in 1929 to acquire waterfowl refuge lands for protection. The

Migratory Bird Hunting . Stamp Act of 1934, inspired by Darling and his followers, requires every waterfowl hunter from age 16 up to buy and carry a federal duck stamp. Proceeds from these sales purchase, lease, and protect wetlands. Before 1949. the federal government commissioned a top wildlife artist to produce the stamp each year, but since that time, a duck stamp contest has become the government's only continuing art competition. The Festival exhibit of these spectacular prints and stamps is open Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 11-4 at the Stone Harbor Borough Hall, Second Ave. in Stone Harbor.
