had not passed law requiring the y
ment of a license to ensnare the small
mouth bass and other fish in the upper
Potomac.

glers. 1t was not a case of the few dol
lars. but a matter of pride and principle.
You see. had it not been for Washing
ton people the upper Potomac would
never have been stocked with bass. and
now that they have accomplished SO
much. why should they be deprived of the
sport?''
It Is explained by the angler that the
local Game and Fish Protective Associa-
ton has seen to the stocking of the Up
per river with bass and other f1sh. and
year after year the association has la
bored to save the fish, from destruction.
The association has seen to 1t that the
