Local shad fishermen are dispirit-
ed over the scarcity of these fish in
the Broadkiln river this spring. For
the past several years shad have
been growing scarcer each year and
it is the opinion of many of the fish
ermen that the condition of the
mouth of the river prevents the shad
from entering. while some are of
the opinion that the catching of shad
should be prevented for one or two
seasons that they could propagate
young. These fish come into the
fresh water streams to spawn and
are caught before they reach the
headwaters of the streams. A law
preventing the catching of shad un-
til about the fifteenth of April for
Two or three years would help to-
increase the run of skpd.
Milton has one Of the finest school
buildings on the Peninsula and this
building should be one of the lead
ing educational institutions in the
State II 10 up TO the School Board
to equip the building with a corp of
competent teaehers,e even though.
such corp would cost more money.
There is a feeling in this community
that the people are not receiving
the full value for their money in
the matter of educational facilities
for their children. '1'is true that in
the past the fact that the school
was scattered in many buildings
about the town has been a handicap
to those having the schools in charge
hut this condition will now be chang
ed and better results are expected. /
Local housewives are supplying
their tables with the delectable trout
and hardheads. caught from the
