Approximately 6,500,00000O fish

Vessel landings at New England
ports reached more than 238, 900
pounds, which was a 40 per cent in
crease over the average catch for
the previous f1ve-year period.
"In large measure this growth was
due to the increasing demand for

O'Malley said the problem Of the
Great Lakes fisheries adminstra-
ton is most difficult one due to
the fact jurisdiction is divided be-

fish and game conservationist in
Michigan have become so thorough
ly aroused by their waning fish sup
plies that every State hatchery has
been operated to capacity this year.
AS a result not only was the State

stocking trout and bass streams, but
also was able to send some fish to

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2.-Mexico,

The final decision as to the

Since it's inception a year ago the

Outside the capital the same OBJ

the law was effected in order to
give workers the benefit of extra
daylight all the year around.
In Mexico, however, since most
business houses are open until z p.

that If he desired to see Gov. Smith
