The taking of. over nine thousand

what fishing club with small pre-

only one OF several similar organize
tions in Vermont. There ought to
be a club Of this kind in Bennington
county. There are numerous places
where an artificial pond can be built
at little expense and maintained on
small annual dues. There are also
plenty of men interested in fishing
who can afford to form and support
such an organization It would add
to their pleasure and would be also
favorable to the larger number OF
fishermen who would not feel that
they could afford to Join such a club
for it would relieve the pressure ON
