N recently asked assistance in

signs were placed around the basin
early this month. Mock contended that
all informed persons knew that large

commences to cool, and that 1t was un-
fortunate that the basin should be
closed to fishing during September,
October and November.

ground" Mock wrote. sit has made
fishing possible for lots of persons who
do not at all times have money to buy

with bass q few years ago, and the bass
seem to be very plentiful now. 1t is
seldom one cannot get two or three a
day. and perhaps help out the family

We passed Nock's argument on to

suit that anglers now can fish to their
hearts content in the waters OF the
basin until about the end OF November.

ing in Piscataway Greek, and that the
