LAKE VISITORS MUST
HAVE FISHING PERMIT
TO ESCAPE ARREST

At this season of the year thousands
pf persons from all parts of the state
ARE visiting northern Indiana lakes on
vacations and for recreation. Nearly
all indulge in fishing. State laws re-
.quire persons fishing outside their
own or adjacent county to possess a
resident hunting and fishing license.
That this law will be rigidly en-
forced is evidenced in an order to
state wardens from Richard Lieber,
director of conservation in Indiana
and chief of the warden service,
which reads: ANY person found hunt
ing or fishing shall show his license to
you or your men upon request or be
arrested for failure"
George N. Manifold, chief OF the d.
vision of fish and game advises per
sons contemplating fishing trips to
procure license before leaving home.
The law reads that county clerks
shall handle resident hunting and
fishing licenses. Some clerks hesitate
to farm out" licenses because they
are held responsible and must report
all sales to the department each
month. Frequently a lake visitor neg
1ects to purchase a license and on ar
rival at the water resort is confronted
with the alternative of writing home
to the county clerk or writing or going
to the clerk Of the county wherein he
wishes to fish Often this entails de-
lay and considerable expense, but is
the only way to avoid unpleasant con-
tact with wardens.
1t Is pointed out by Mr.. Manifold
that the Indiana fish and game laws
make no distinction as to sex. Women
IS years old or older must have
license. However, the law permits
wife to hunt or fish on her husbands
license This Is also true in case of
children providing said children are
not over IS years old.
